Anyone have a long distance relationship,, I have met the my knigh and shining armor, but were 1800 miles away from each other.. He is going to visit in May of this year and I can't wait.. I'm not nervous, or scared, I love this man with all my heat.. I guess it's because we have gotton to know each other from the inside instead of outside.. he makes me smile when im down, he comforts me when i am crying, we never go a day without hearing each others voice, my daughter calls us frick and frat.. im 5'5 and he is 6'1- I have been taking care of my grandmother has been ill and in nursing home and in school.. at times its overwelming and i was crying one night, it has just taken a toll on me and low and behold he sent me a dozen roses just to say "I love you and your not alone" I was married to a man who was very abusive,, I have had reconstrictive surgery, lost my son when i was 8 months pregnet, and have always had issues with trusting men again..And then i met him.. and he has made my life and world a better place to be.. he has made me smile, laugh, feel as if im the only one on the most important person on earth, he has showed me that you can love again and that when it comes along 2 times in your life to hang on and give it your all.. and you know what, he is right.. It feels great to love again and know that he feels the same way and that love is to feel good and not to have pain... I thank god everyday for bringing him in my life and cant wait to spend the rest of my life with him.. We are always finishing each other sentenence's, say the same thing to each other all the time at the same time... Is all i have to say is If god blesses you to have a true love come along in your life again,, take it..if it feels right the go with your gut and love it..

it is good to hear that you have finally found a man who could love you back and after the nightmare you've had with your previous relationship it is also good to hear that you are moving on with your life and that your heart is not closed. it is not important whether you are away from each other or near each other physically as long as you trust each other. pray for your relationship. offer it to God.

hi msabels, i'm happy for you and i understand how you feel as i am also very inlove with my fiance now. He just came here last month for about 12 days and we spent time together and i was really happy and thank God for bringing him in my life. He made me feel to love again after all the heartaches that i've been through. He give me hope when i am about to give up and mostly he give me a reason to love and live life again. He came back now in his country and now we are miles away again but still we dont forget to make feel each other the love we had. Hopefully soon will be together and i am really looking forward on that. Long distance is very hard but i will fight for it no matter what. The enemy is the loneliness but i will fight for it. I really miss him. The warmth of his love for me. Goodluck for you meeting and i wish you all the happiness. BTW from where he is?

All I can say is good for you. I am very happy to hear that you have found that you can love again. We are all capable of doing that if we but give ourselves a chance. Long distance or short getting to know each other well before you meat is the perfect way to begin. I met my last wife on the internet and we were 300 miles apart. We got to know each other well and when I met her it went very well. I eventually moved to where she lived and we married. It was a good thing but then after only 5 years I lost her to a heart attack. She had diabetes and the complications finally took her. I have been looking again and now have found someone again and we plan to marry. Long distance or short the best way to start a relationship is to talk. You get to know so much more about each other that way before the physical thing gets in your way. My very best to you. Just keep up the faith that it will work out and it will happen. Good for you.

Congratulations on your engagement,, I agree,, you get to know each other on a different level because you talk and get to know each others life before you meet.. and then when you meet its just the icing on the cake.. How long have ya'll been talking/ dating before you met? I wish you the best and a wonderful life together... love doesnt come around alot, but when it does its great...

That's pretty good you found someone. I've not ventured into that field to find a perfect match for me. Still looking for that woman to be with me. I agree and that is a great story. I don't know where she is but would like to find her and start a family of my own once married.

don't worry, it will happen when you least expect it to and when it does embrace it and don't let her go....

I am happy for that you are happy. I remember the daughter has been chatting with someone online and they got along. Afterwards, the man met her parents and vice versa and they married 1 year later. They are living happilly and they have a child now..should be 3 years old I think lol. But i really admire you being able to reject your abusive husband. Some woman endure it all thei life and suffer alot. You are getting up and have your life in control. I wish you goodluck. :D

Hi msabels43 I am happy for you that you have found a man that can fulfill your needs. He sounds like a wonderful man and I hope he lives up to your expectations. A long distance relationship is a hard one to have. I hate to say it but tread carefully. Anything can be said over the internet and that doesn't make it true. How long have you two been keeping in contact? Just from my point of view if this was me I would be running a background check on him. There is nothing wrong with doing this. This is just making sure he is who and what he says he is. You may not want to hear this since you are in love with him. I am not trying to cast doubt on him either. But you came through a lot of heartache and I would hate to see this end up on a bad note. I hope it turns out to be all you wish it to be. I wish you good luck and hope that this is truly your knight in shining armor.,

I realy wish all the best for you and your new life with this man. Long distance relationships have good side and bad side. We are very difernet when we talk online, we are different when we talk on the phone and totally different when we talk eye to eye. But I hope you found your love for rest of your life:)

That is nice but is not different to get to know someone when you see them. I know it is different because once you live with someone that is when you really get to know them properly, hopefully he never changes and remains as sweet as he sounds. I know there are nice people out there and one should never give up hope. I can see that karma works wonders too. I am sure that people get a second or even a tenth chance in life at happiness, never give even if it does not work out. That is what you deserve the love you should have for yourself.
