Hello,

I am interested in peoples views regarding mixed relationships, in my case i am English and my beloved is Spanish. We both do not really speak each others language fluently so at times it is difficult. It is also quite difficult as i live in England and he lives in Spain. We text everyday and speak once or twice a week on the phone, but only see each other every couple of months. I guess at some point one of us is going to have to move to the others country-i would like to love in Spain. In the past i have been sceptical of long distance relationships, however with him it is different, i trust him 100% and we mean a lot to each other which is very lovely, particularly as i have never been "overly" trusting in the past. He is the one for me and is a wonderful person, however distance is a pain......anyone have a similar situation, any words of wisdom?! thanks!! :-)

well I myself am hispanic and he is white/italian and we do have a long distance relationship(in the United states) for the past 2 yrs, and yes as u said at some point one of u is going to have 2 move to the other's country. My bf plans to move here in maryland wen hes done with tech school(he's currently in Florida), but the point is, that long distane relationships can work just as well as any other with must trust, and it seems that u and him have that so thats good, but of coarse those kind of relationships cannot go on forever, you just have to plan things out with him and ask him were the relationship is gonna go as far as whos moving where because distance is pain(very much so) and can't go on for the rest of the relationship

Also perhaps u can take spanish lessons or ask him to try and teach you some spanish, mine has been wanting me to teach him some spanish as well.

there are two aspects to this question.
One is the 'cyber' aspect, which can cause confusion that doesn't feel like confusion. It is getting the cart before the horse in thinking that there is something that there isn't, intimacy. Many couples find that what was so wonderful in cyber is very frustrating in real life. The only way to handle this is to get together in 'real time' more often and longer to see if there really is enough compatibility.
Two is the bicultural aspect. This is a more difficult relationship than one that is more homogenous, but it can work well if the two are both flexible and respectful of the other. There must be common spiritual values, and some common interests, and both people need to have outside social lives.
So, don't make any commitments until you've spent enough time together to really know if this can work. Don't quit your job and move there until you know each other better. I'm being 'realistic' here because I've been online for years and have seen a lot of people get hurt, as well as a few people make good matches. The fantasy aspect of online relationships is wonderful when it stays in fantasy at a distance. Few make it in real time.

Long distance relationships are very hard, trusting is the key. I would recommend taking Spanish lessons in your spare time. Is he makes you happy, go for it! I've seen many of these relationships succeed. Good luck to you. Take on some cooking lessons, too as a part of the whole Spanish experience, it will help you understand the language much better.

Don't take it for my part. Cultural bias might be at play. People who're swayed by means of cultural bias and stereotypes relatively are not creating a rational option on the subject of a mate, are they. A equipped lady might uncover any guy fascinating who used to be mannered, difficult operating and of well morals. The relaxation is simply sugar coating that suggests little or no.

The only instance in History was the courtship of Philip II
of Spain who married Queen Mary Tudor of England.
. The wedding was in London .He moved to England with
all of his retinue. They were very happy but she died 2 years later while he was away at war in Flanders there were no offspring,she was half Spaniard but ONLY
spoke English
Best of luck to both of you

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I´m a Spanish speaker and I´d love to have a English speaker boyfriend. If there are communication and love between both of you, your relationship will last long. You must decide who will move to, discuss it and don´t be afraid to face it, take into account advantages and disadvantages( work, language, family you can ask for a specialist to find out a solution)

good luck and good love!!!

long distance never works out. sorry, it's the truth. someone needs to move. unless you're like that teacher that raped one of her students and married him when she got out of prison. what a lucky guy. she was pretty hot too.
