I started a Long-distant relationship from last year.Yes~ I love my boyfriend very much,but sometimes I really want to give up.Although someone says“Absence makes the heart grow fonder”,In fact the feeling is far beyond lonely I felt.We just contact each other by phone or computer,to tell your the truth,I Can't feel the sense of security. What shall I do?

Why worry if you love him? For me, distance doesn't matter as long as you love each other. I have lots of friends who have their boyfriends working in other countries but they were still okay and still in love with each other.

Are you sure you really love this guy? I agree long distance relationships are tough, but only worth the work if you are really sure you want him. What kind of security are you looking for at this stage? Best of everything to you

I hope the above didn't sound rude..I typed it quickly and came back and reread...It could be interpreted as sounding harsh and I didn'it mean it too...I do apologize if anyone took it the wrong way. Long distance romances are difficult. I do wish anyone who is in one all the best.

That's all right. I read your word several times,and I know your meaning,you just let me know‘security’for me.That,at least,I love him now. Anyhow,thanks.

Ever26, I speak from experiences.One can be secure in a relation be it far or near only if one learns to love oneself.Or else what happens is one expects his/her partner to make them feel loved.Isnt that ridiculous?Its true that only if you love yourself you attract true love.Enjoy all the moments which life gives you and don't be dependent on anyone for your happiness.Live a life of passion and you will find that miraculously people around you try to please you and make you happy.

It is hard to be in a long distance relationship. But it is possible to make it work. All you have to do is make an extra effort to bridge the distance. Communication through email, skype, chat, facebook, phone calls, text messages are very helpful to be able to keep in touch. If you really love each other, distance is not an obstacle for having a successful relationship. You are lucky that at the present you have all these technology that will help you keep in touch with your boyfriend. I experienced having a long distance relationship and boy it was very hard especially that we can only through long distance phone calls which is very expensive and snail mail. I was working in a foreign country.My boyfriend at that time called me every day that and spent almost all of his salary just to be able to talk to me for 30 minutes the most. And he wrote me letters every week. This was in 1996 where internet technology, text messages, and others are not yet around. I also called him and we often cried on the phone together. After several months I finally gave up my job and went home to be able to be with him. We got married and now works in a far city where we live and comes home only during the weekend but this is much better compared to in a far country. And I can chat with him anytime during the week, send him text messages or chat with him through YM. Thanks for reading this post!

It sounds like you have a hard time. But hang in there. It can be worth it, in the long run. You can always communicate to your boyfriend that you don't always feel secure. I hope it works out for you.

Hi ever, I think long distance relationship in most cases ( i said most not all so it may not apply to you) is total lie. The people lie and play behind each other back and dont care for the emotions of other person. One fine day they delete you and block you for no reason because they found someone better. So if i was in your shoes i would be concerned .

Just follow your heart as heart never lies. However it all depends on situation. You better ask yourself if you still love your boyfriend. Be honest to yourself, that is the important thing you can or should do. God bless!

Hi Ever, Long distance relationship can be risky. Some partners often fall for the guy next door or the one more closer. I see some neighbors with husbands or wives working overseas and the temptation is always strong, many really fall along the way. It really involve a lot of commitment for one to maintain it. In these times of broken marriages and one night stands, yours is a shining example for us so keep on it.

I have been in a long distance relationship and fortunately we survived. Every long distance relationship come to that trial of wanting to give up. But it really depends on you two. If you love each other then you have to both be strong and have trust on each other. We spend almost two years calling each other, chatting with Skype and emailing pictures. It wasn't easy, but with the hope that one day we will spend the rest of our lives together, then we made it through and married. If you really love him, you have to be strong, he has to be stronger for the both of you. Trust each other and never stop hoping that one day soon, you will no longer need to be far from each other.

That is the insecurity we must feel on a long distance love affair and this is really hard to us as couples. Although you are with boyfriend only much too risky for you but if you love each other sincerely why to worry. Love is still there so there is no need to worry while both of you are away. If he is really for you even he is at the end of the world he will be back for you. Anyway there are lots of tips you can do to nourish your relationship like sending him always cards, messages, pictures and many things that is very romantic to both of you. try any thing just for him and i think he will missed that all and he is always longing for you.

If you love each other strong enough then it may go for a certain period of time. But personally I think it is difficult to continue this way. Try to find out the way to be nearer to each other as soon as possible. There goes a say "Out of sight, out of mind" I believe it will not become true in your relationship. All the best.

I personally never had such a connection. For me, however this can be a challenge to see if a loved one who is not up to you. Give yourself time to feel its absence and to understand whether or not it obichesh. However, there are so many people who maintain such relationships are not the first or last. I wish you hope this is the man whom you like. Have a nice day!

long-distance courtship was difficult living it, friend. I also experienced it. most important is maintaining good communication with the telephone or SMS, exchange news and also keep track of loyalty. do not make excuse busy cause rarely communicate.
