» Zenyatta - Can it last forever?
Perhaps so. I can't imagine life without my guy, (even from a distance), but living apart is getting harder every day. I don't pretend to have the right answer (as if there were one), I'm just curious for the insight of others. How long can a long distance relationship remain long distance?Please share your thoughts.

» Car - coworker's story
I have a co-worker who has been married and in a long-distance relationship for at least 15 years now (and still going). He lives out in Kentucky. She works out in St. Louis.I had asked her once how does she do it, because I had considered it myself. Her response, "communication" and the fact that they already had about 10 years of married life together (in the same city and state and house).

» Sadie426 - Love conquers all..
Although my "long" distance relationship was only 40 miles, not 400 my then boyfriend/fiance-now husband had alot of commitments in his life that limited our time together to only weekends. It sometimes felt like 4 million miles seperated us, rather than a 45 minute drive.But the distance only created a PHYSICAL seperation. We managed to talk on the phone when we could and our hearts were always together.
I think that as long as you have love, distance is an obstacle that can be overcome. Love conquers all....

» rhapsody6 - starts taking it's toll...
I am involved in a long distance relationship, over 2000 miles apart, that is coming up on three years. I love him more today than I did yesturday..and I know my love for him just grows stronger each day. So the distance doesn't take it's toll on our love...it takes a toll on our mental and physical well being.After doing many many trips back and forth over the last few years, my boyfriend was finally able to spend a long period of time with me. For two months this summer I was in total Heaven. But..yet again...the end came...and we had to leave each other. This time the price has been high. We are both going through bouts of depression and anxiety. It's as if our worlds have been turned upside down and we don't have an answer as how to turn them right side up again. I take that back. We have an answer..it's just not doable right now.
I graduate in May, he will still be in school for another 2 years or so. I am looking for a job near him...so there is hope after all (God willing I find a job that pays well enough to live in the most expensive city in the nation). But this waiting and wondering if it will ever happen is making us want to just run away to our own private island somewhere and forget about all of the things that are keeping us apart. *LAUGH*
OH yeah...and when I rule the world....traveling by plane will be MUCH less expensive. *LAUGH*
just my two cents.

In response to message posted by Zenyatta:I know that long distance relationships are hard becausImIm in one, but i know that if you both are meant to be, it will be. How often do you get to see him/her? Do you still gethoeses butterflies in your stomach when you see that person even if you've been together for a long long time? If you do, then you know its meant to beDIstancecdoesntnt measure how much you love someone. You decide for yourself. I mean, if you truly want it.......you'll have it.

» NikkiN7404 - Young love
Does anyone believe that two young people can fall so deep in love that they can overcome anything in the entire world, even long distance? I do. I am 17 years old and in my Junior year of High School. I met my sweetheart last year when i was a sophomore and he was a senior. We both lived in the same town and really really loved the time spent with eachother. When my mom told us that we were moving 'down south' to North Carolina, we were both devistated. How could it be?! I have never had a man care for me so much in my entire life, and to loose him over something as pathetic as DISTANCE, was not going to happen. We made up our minds to stay together for the 2 years of my remaining High School career, then through out college. We got to spend the 3 months of summer together, experiancing all sorts of things together and really enjoying eachother, knowing that we'd have to say goodbye soon.We fell into an intense love. NOT puppy love. Well when that day came, we were a wreck. But ya know what? I'll be damned if it hasnt made me love him more. It's been about 3 months (and i know its not a long long time) but each time I see him, the butterflies wake right up, the smile is permanent, the heart beats out of my chest and my world is complete once again. It feels like i can finnaly breath.Im not sure when the next time ill see him is, most likely thanksgiving. Thats a long time. But After a goodbye, theres always a hello. But if were going to look at it that way, after the hello,there follows a goodbye.
To thoes who are in the same boat as I am, I just hope that you have everything turn out the way you want.
Much love,
Nikki

In response to message posted by Zenyatta:I enjoyed reading about your thoughts on the train ride. I think that true love can last forever, but it's always changing and you need to make sure that both of you always tell the other what your thoughts are about each other. Also, and more importantly, tell each other how you feel about things. Sooner or later the time will come to make a decision, which will determine the future for the both of you. When that time comes, both of you need trememberer how you make each other feel when you're with each other. If you are happy together, then you need to do as much as you can to work it out and make a future together. I wish the both of you good luck and I hope everything works out
