im sorry to hear that you will be part from your gf. but eventhough you're far from each other, it doesnt matter as long as you love and trust one another. you can still communicate...just dont forget that communications plays a big role in a long distance relationship. Trust and honesty are very important. Just hold on to each other and keep in touch regularly. Its very hard at first but as time goes by, im sure you'll be fine. Remember, honesty, trust, love and open communication is very important to this kind of relationship. Always keep that in mind. Goodluck to both of you
It takes effort on both parties for the relationship to work especially in a long distance one. jc is right, communication is very important... trust, honesty, loyalty... you gotta have them too. I currently am in a long distance relationship, it's pretty tough... especially when you need the luvin' (i'm only human!) but I trust him, he trusts me.... We're making it through...
right .. takes a lot of effor from both parties to make it work ... however the distance between them causes more burden that escalates things not to make it work ... haha have tried it twice ... broke off before we could see each other again
I reckon it all depends on how long your gf will be away for. Any longer than a year, then it's definately down the drain...... but..... If you manage to get together now and then, it could work....
I am proof that they can work out. My wife & I never really "dated" we just wrote & called each other for the better part of 1.55 years (BEFORE the internet mind you) then I moved to be with her; Vermont to Texas. I won't bore you with the details but you can imagine how many dozens of times we heard "it'll never work"...well 12 yrs of marriage later
exceptions prove the rule. congrats timsdd, but I'd say 99/100 long distance relationships will fail very quickly.
Thanks guys! I might as well stay positive and give it a try. PS: We should be able to see each other over holidays and some weekends. So i guess its not too bad.
Well your girlfriend is studying on the other side of the country, im studying in South of England, my Girlfriend is studying in South West hong Kong... so consider yourself lucky I say highly depends on your age, how long you have been together, how many other people you have both 'been with' before each other, how serious you both are and things like that, i do not think anyone can tell you, or even advise you on the matter other then yourself. It all comes down to you in the end.
again it's should be about responsibility, trust and loyalty, long distance relationships rely on these variables and some more others... if you really are serious about the relationship (must be mutual). there there should be no problem. I know a lot of people who survived this kinds of relationships and are now happily married. if the relationship easily breaks in a few troubles... that's a good point. at least you will know the partner or you is not really that serious and kiss that relationship goodbye, it's not going to work for you anyway? should you waste your time that won;t make you happy in the long run?
My wife and I went to different colleges (for five years)...and it worked out just fine. But we were only 150 miles apart.
right, I wasn't saying it is money, just that there is hope and I know you knew that 150 is a lot easier than our 2232 was I think it would be a lot easier in this day & age just the technology alone. we had to wait 4 freaking days for letter to arrive!!
Always worth a try however, and if things dont work out, thats the way of life, I just really dont think I would recommend it to young couples however, but I do not know both your ages so I wont comment.
It depends on different person...I have a gf for half years before i moved to US 6 years ago..we made all those empty promise to each other..(i though i will go back to Hong kong right after i finish my college so we can be together again) at the first few month we were ok. we called each other every week..than it became every other week...than once in a while...we didn't break up but just forget each other as time pass by(which is worse)..
I put about 30,000 miles on my cars during those five years. Was this before the telephone? j/k BTW- mighty, which girl are you speaking of? Right or left?
My husband and I had a long distance relationship. I guess you could say that part of it didn't work out. We were in contact long distance for about a year and a half, seeing each other when he visited his parents for holidays, but that was it. Then we lost contact for five years. This is pre email. He found my address again and wrote. We started emailing, and when he decided to move back to the San Diego area, I helped him move. We started seeing each other "just as friends" and somewhere in there it turned serious. We've been married five years now and have two kids. As I said, you could argue that the long distance part of the relationship didn't work out, but overall, the relationship itself did.
