My boyfriend and I will be celebrating our 6 years anniversary this coming October. Time is indeed fast. The month after that is also the month where he will be finishing his contract in his present job. It is also the time wherein he will start preparing for going abroad to work. That means, I will be left here in my place for many years. I don't know anyone from my friends or even acquiantances online and offline whose relationship based on long distance that lasts long. I don't even want to expect what will happen between us. But I do consider the consequences of breakup. How about you? Ever been in the same situation? I even have a friend whose relationship is the same as mine and struggled badly to saved it and failed....

I think long distance relationships are not so lasting. If you really go with the relation you should come close and make a real relationship since long distance relationship are lost after some years. But since you have long time 6 years with the relation, you should minimize the distance and shape the relation to real. That's the only solution to keep your relation, you love.

I am pretty supportive of my girlfriend living for uk and staying there for 3 years is a long period of time while i need to still be in my home country, and being along at time can cause you to think why are you holding on to this long distance relationship,but you should trust her or him for the person on the other hand will also have the same thought and trust is the player to your long term relationship.

it is worthy to celebrate the anniversary. it is too long time for two lovers.
i say goodbye to my ex-boyfriend, because i can't bear long time waiting. and his mother doesn't like her and think lots of ways to stop us. and he can't persude his mom, and i feel we must be apart from each other, then ... ...
six years is too long time for everyone. i hope you can have a happy marriage.

I am currently going through this long distance relationship rite now. My girl friend is studying else where and i am studying here. Its going to be 3 years in the november month and we are really excited about it. I do like this long distance relationship because i feel that someone , who is so away from me physically, is so very close to me at heart and i see her in everything i do!!

I was in the same situation back years ago but I end up marrying my partner in that long distance relationship. The guarantee i had for successfully marrying her was the quality of relationship we nurtured when we were yet together. That we did treasure. Her absence during that long distance relationship was a matter of watering the plant, at times I missed calling her through the phone but I see to it that the channel of communication is kept. In your case, expand your horizon, meet friends blessings will pour along the way as you face life.

A friend of mine met his girlfriend about seven years ago while living about four hours away. (Not all that far, i know..) And he lived here, while she lived there for about three or four years of the relationship. He would go visit on weekends, or she would come and visit. They used the internet and phones to keep in touch. And this July, they got married. :) It's not impossible, especially if you love someone.
And I think as far as technology has evolved, it's fairly easy to stay "wired" to someone at anytime you want. :) The physical is what will be hard.
