I've had a boyfriend and we must be separated by distance. different country for a long time. I found it hard to do long distance relationship, got many troubles in many aspects.. I'm tired.. So I decided to break up for our sake. Even though we're still loving each other. In your opinion, can you do long distance relationship? Is that easy for you?

Having long distance relationship is not easy. Mostly of that ends with nothing. First you are far with your partner he cant do his obligation to you. Secondly whenever you need a companion your partner is not around so sometimes there will come an instance that you will look for someone to fill that emptyness and maybe you can be developed with that person. And also you are not sure if he's still loyal with you. Actually in this situation your trust was the one tested. So it is really very hard to handle without a personal and close communication.

In my case this was totally reverse because when I had gone to Canada just for six month , I lost everything my girl friend ,love caring for me everything it is just because we were separate and during these period I was so busy and not able to contact her then she thought that I forget her and with in a short span of time she engaged with some one and when I came back from Canada she told me that she s engaged with some one. I never try to know is it my fault or her fault because I know that the relation has end that's all

I am currently in a long distance relationship right now with my boyfriend. It is nowhere near easy but we make it work. You have to work hard at any relationship, especially one that is long distance. My ex boyfriend and I broke up because I was moving away to college, but that was an immature relationship anyhow since we were both young. Now that I am at a more mature stage (and so is my current boyfriend), it is easier to work on a relationship together with the distance. It helps when both parties are in the same boat when it comes to maturity. My boyfriend and I communicate a lot, we have to trust each other and respect each other just like any other relationship. Our trust is tested a lot since we are so far away. We also keep the relationship interesting by having movie dates where we watch movies together over the phone. We also play games together online and do other things. We talk on the phone a lot as well and we send each other gifts, emails, etc. It may be easier for us than it would for you though because although we are long distance, we live in the same state as opposed to a whole different country. But if you want to make something work, it can be done.

i myself have experience that, we are on the same country but of different cities..at first it was doing well but as time goes by, our communication seems to have been blocked by our distance..but for me, it is still in the hands of those lovers, distance is never a reason for love to fade, just have trust and commitment, then it will work out..it would not necessarily mean that you have to update your partner every minute of the day just for your partner to feel that you love him/her..it will last if both of you stick with your promises with each other, that no matter how many mountains you are apart from each other, distance can never be a reason for your love to fade from each other..i like your topic..^^
