How do you deal with long distance relationship?

well, assuming you're already in a relationship and being in a long distance relationship myself, i would say that it really takes a lot of patience... as in a lot of PATIENCE. and a lot of trust. If you really love each other, it will work out because you want to work it out. i have to admit it is really, really difficult. keep your goals in mind. why did one of you went away anyway? what's your purpose? You obviously had something you want to achieve. keep that in mind and always keep the communication open. its hard not to see your love one but its a lot harder when you never get to talk to them. be patient!

i've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries;).
