hey,
I have been in a long distance relationship for a year and a half now and although it's hard sometimes...my boyfriend means sooo much to me!! I was just wondering if anyone else out there has been in this kind of relationship or has any advice on ways to keep your relationship strong...even at a distance. Thanks!!

Make sure you call each other and let the other know what is going on. The key is communication. Be honest and open with each other. You cannot be there to see what he is doing and likewise. So let him know about the things that are going on, even if you think they are small--he cannot see them. Mail him little things--even if it's a letter or a little gift. It will make him realize that you are thinking of him. Remember this, however, realize that a long distance relationship cannot stay like that. For it to truly last, either one person moves or you both move to a neutral place. You cannot stay apart forever. You either relocate or you end up losing the relationship. You need to discuss that issue before it comes up so you come to an understanding about it and you don't end up fighting over it later on.

I and my gilfriend are in long distance relationship for i woudl say 3 years now. Same its kinda hard, but there must be trust. We talk online ortxt messages pretty much every day for those 3 years. talk just about stuffs nothing really important. distance is like 1h 30min drive away on freeway, so i meet her maybe once or twice a week, if lucky, but it took us about all these 3 years to have stronger commitment to relationship. I would suggest to be online like on yahoo or msn every day after school/work even w/out talk but appear online (since inet isnt that expencive nowdays). Being online makes u feel that ur bf is there.. sure not by u but there if u want to can ask him anything at that moment. that helps us.

it won't last!!! people need a strong physical relationship as well as the rest and if you are apart all the time you can't get that. My boyfriend is a firefighter and he's gone a lot but he lives in the area and that gives us enough problems. I'm sorry but unless you too figure something out eventually one of you will stray or move on!

it can work, it does work. but the only thing missing is actual physical contact,and for that, you need to both be very strong for each other..i believe in long distance relationships, you can talk about everything so much easier and be more open with out being embaressed. the more you share, the closer you become.

I did it and it worked for 2 years...We stayed together for a total of 7 and I have no regrets. Just communicate and be strong. He ended up moving here to be with me. Good Luck

I don't believe in long distance relationship as it will fade over time....
To keep the relationship strong? Either you go over or he come over

well my distance relationship is mainly a friend relationship and i've had it for a half year now. I'd recommend you to take much photos and record videos and send them to your boy. :) Talk often with him, via messenger or email, or call him.

It can work good for up to about 2 years...but after that, if the distance is not shortened...it'll fail.

It can work for some people, but it makes everything harder. There are some resources that help, but it isn't for everyone. Good Luck.
