For the reason of working, I and my girlfriend have to live in the different two cities. The two cities are far away, I can't go to see her very often. The only way I contact her is phone, but it's not a good way to hold our love, I think. We have be separated for one year and we both have a good job in the city. I love my girlfriend but we can't get together. What should I do? Should I change my job to go to her city? Or we just live in the city like this? I am confused, friends, can you give me some suggestions?

hello there... well, that's really sad to see that you both are living far between each other... what can i say is, you try to visit her as much as possible... you both can discuss where to meet, what time to meet so that you can plan ahead... by meeting, you both can talk and share your feelings to each other... this way, you can maintain your relationship and also you will be able to see your girl as often as you want...

I have done my best to create the chance for our meeting. But it's too far away between us, we have to work and don't have the enough time to meet each other. And the trip fee is expensive. Sometimes I think should I give up this love, but I love my girlfriend so much. I am confused now.

don't lose hope yet... even how far both of you are, if your love is strong, you can totally take this challenge... be confident... talk to her everyday, ask her problems or how's her day went, if you both got off or rest days, quickly visit... the more you spend time together, the more your love will develop and get strong...

Maybe I should change a job in her city, or she cames to my city. I don't have enough confidence to maintain our relationship for the far distance. There are so many bad examples that two lovers say goodbye because of the far distance beside me.

I have the similar problem with you.I and my boyfriend are in different cities,for studying,and we are far away from each other.I suggest you try to change your workplace to the same city she works.That's my advice,for I feel distance sometimes will seperate the two people mentally even without known by the persons.Even we believe we love each other,something is changing but we can do nothing.God bless you two and us,too.

Thank you for your advice, wjcp2008. I do think change my or her job to the same city is the best way to hold our love. But it's not an easy thing to do. We will together to face the problem. And hope you two can get together when you graduate.
