Who Gets to Survive A Long distance Love

China
August 13, 2007 8:49am CST
It's been a month since I arrived in China and my boyfriend is now in Singapore... and it feels like ages since we were apart! I've got used on the setup where we get to see each other almost everyday and now we simply see each other in front of a screen. Thanks to the technology we're still able to see each others faces... I have to admit, though I love and trust my boyfriend, my fear inside seems to grow alomst everyda. I was once hurt, my ex boyfriend, our relationship didn't work 'coz of the distance, studying on different places. Now, my boyfriend and I are working far apart each other, realizing our individual dreams but somehow also saving for both of us... I need some assurance from people who had or having the same experience as mine... Will this love last? Is it trully possible?

haha! don't worry my dear friend because all of these apprehensions are bound to occur. You cant get rid of them no matter how hard you try as of now.May be with the passage of TIME when you get used to your BF living far away from you. This is just the beginning, you still have lots more to do with him. I'm so glad that you get to see each other daily through the webcam, something that has no substitute when it comes to long distance relationships. I wonder if your BF would be having the same fears as you. If not , i must tell you he's a broadminded person, and so should you aim for it. Just don't panic now, you know you love him, he knows he loves you, and when he can be committed to you from such a distance, than no force on earth can stop the two of you from carrying on with your relationship.TRUST ME! it will work. :)

I've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries

We almost has the same situation here. I would also like to ask to those who have experience this kind of relationship. I am not in a mode right now in replying or making discussion but when i read this discussion, i feel like need to give my side. Before my girl left for work to the other country, i told her that we must keep our love and trust to each other and when one of us made a mistakes, we can not blame other else but us. I believe that a great love can survive a great distance... thank you for sharing this to us. May we find answers to our questions. Happy posting!

we are on the same situation.. on the first five months we used to see each other until we finally have to temprarily say goodbye on those memories and hobbies we do together.. its been more than 2 months sice we are on a long distance relationship.. although he is just 3hours riding a bus away from me.. i still cannot see him because of studies and family.. soon, ill be leaving my country for two years or more and that would be harder for us to strongly believe on this we call love. i often ask him if he can wait for me... even if he says yes he can.. i still prepare my mind for anything that might happen.. it would be painful if he will leave me but my love for him is pure enough to let him choose on his own happiness. one of my friend told me that the true test of love is time and distance.. so if we will succeed on this test then we are really meant for each other. as my advice.. learn to spice up your relationship since love needs maintenance.. dream together and live for that dream you have just built for the happiness of the both of you.. learn to sucrifice and be patient.. dont give quantity time but a quality time. good luck to you and to him..

I see that this happened one year ago. How is the relationship now? I guess that you and your boyfriend are both alright and in the relationship for good.
