Today my friend told me that her bf who live in another country now seems to change. He complained due to he didn't call and he explain that he was too tired to call. I thought that is just a small things, but for my friends it is a big things... I told her that she might just a litle sensitive due to her bf didn't call but it crossing my mind that it must be hard to keep a long distance relationship.. Any of you please give me some idea to make it works so I maybe can tell that to my friend to help her cope with her bf...

erm...i had experieced such situation.and i'm in this situation is the man or the boyfriend situation.i think i can explain about what man feel about this long distance relationship.man basically need to see,feel, and have emotional contact directly.if this three doesnt exist,which refer to long distance relationship,it's kina hard for man to be honest,even harder if there is 3rd person trying to involve in man's life.maybe some can,but majority cant.i personally hard to do it,and end up with my classmate,who now is my wife.once i got responsible,which mean i'm married,it's like a new chapter in mylife.being girlfriend-boyfriend thing is totally different with husband-wife relationsip,so please dont misjudge me.no hard feeling to your friend.just sharing my oppinion and experience.

Thanks germany... That is more honest and off couse very helpful. It is always good to know what man feels about that kind of relationship... to make us (woman) not hoping too long and only waiting for something bad in the end...

Long distance relationship is never easy.. And trust is very important.. ONce the trust is not there, everything her bf do over there, can be very suspicious to her.. Even simple daily things, like calling.. MAybe what your fren can do, is to call him instead.. But not during the time he's working..Rather the time when he's supposed to be free.. Try to believe in whatever he says, and though it's hard, but make the bf guilty, if he's really hiding something.. And when the bf cant take it anymore, he will tell the truth sooner or later, if there's really something going on there.. At the mean time, ask her to call instead of waiting for him ^_^

Thanks kmaram... Yeah i am sure it hard to keep a good communication on a long distance relationship, because it is even hard to keep good communication in a close relationship..
