Long distance relationship will it work this time,I'll be missing you so much

If your love for each other had tested your time and was able to survive in trials about life just like before when you are in distance, and managed to keep the relationship alive, healthy and worth having. Then, I guess there is no doubt you must worry for now but expect all great things to happen along your way. This is part of your plan and whatever will be the effect, is both your benefit for the future. I suggest not to take the negative sided of long distance relationship. It only depends on how are you going to deal with the present status. No matter distance is present, the love you had parted for all the years will always be in his memories and conscience. I will feel sad if this happened to me. But, since I know my partner well and we are strong over the years, My confidence and trust with him plus my sincere thoughts and fears will give him the reasons for us to move on together. Love cannot break distance. It is depending on the people who are handling the relationship and their ways on coping in overcoming unwanted situations.

hi dorothy, this will also be a test of your faithfulness with each other. that will be your decision to be apart. one thing for sure you will really miss him. but if that is for your future and with prayers also then everything will be fine. but you know there are some who were apart and they broke up and also others they are still together. that depends really with each other on how sincere are you with your relationship. by the way, when will you settle down? seven years is long enough for a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, why not settle down then as a wife you could easily(?)follow him where ever he may be.

Ofcourse you are afraid. It is a scarey thing. You have been with this guy for seven years so he must have some redeeming qualities. lol You need to find something else to occupy your time. Work, sure. But something else to do as well. You also need to fall back on your support system. Chat it up with your girlfriends. Make some dates with them to start doing something fun or interesting from time to time so you have something to look forward to. I want to add this as well--fate is fickle and you just never know how she is going to act.

hi dorothy, everything is going to be cool and fine. .. keep in touch on phone, umm yeah you might miss him a little but anyways i am sure you would be so glad to talk to him over the phone, you don't need to worry much, keep it up, long distance relationships works and i by the way you say it i am guessing your boyfriend is so lucky.! and so are you :) small worries always comes up in such situations but everything is going to be fine.

The I will rally feel the same... it's between Love, Hope, and Faith... May God Bless Us All, Always... Happy MyLoooooting....

It will be very hard to live without a person whom you like so much.I have never experienced this and I never want to.It is big headache.I don't know how you are going to be. I believe completely in long distance relationships.I can even say that it even builds your relationship more tighter with him. And I will pray that I never want to experience like this.(Oh God save me and don't give me a situation like this)....Lol! Hope your relationship builds even more.ALL the best.

For three years, including the first year of our marriage, I lived in Canada, and my husband worked and lived in the United States. We had some hard times being apart, but we flew back and forth to see eachother. Now we are together in Canada, as he is done the job, and we can live where we want. If you two really love eachother, there should be no problems maintaining the relationship.

hello dorothy, well being in a long distance relationship is always a challenge. a challenge for both of you & your relationship. but 7 years is 7 years and i think you already have good foundation in your relationship. yeah its not easy to maintain a long distance relationship but, coz there's a lot of temptations around...hehe i've been in such situation way back, my bf & i have been into long distance relationship for just a year...and oh many things have happened that almost break us...but good thing is that, we are meant to be for each other and so after all those trials & things that we have been through, we still ends up together... all i can say is that be ready to whatever will happen, have faith in your relationship, trust each other & pray that everything will be fine. i think with the technology now, you can always talk together as if you are just near to each other, atleast somehow it may lessen the emptiness & the loneliness of being away to your love. by the way, how long will he be away? ah i remember what i watched last time in tv, there's this couple who are i think 14 years bf/gf...and 12 years of it, they are far from each other! hehe they are just talking on phone or online...and just this year they marry each other! so long distance love can always be a success, depends to both of you... good luck & have a good day!

I think this is possibe with the medium of communication we can have right now. But the most important thing is the love and trust you have for each other. Its very important on surviveing this kind of relationships. With seven years being together, I believe that you have already enough foundation to sustain your relationship even your far away from each other. Just be understanding and open-minded for this because its for the benefit for both of you :) hope your love can conquere all this things and end up marrying each other one day :)

Just think of the positive side, long distance relationships are also working just have enough trust and faith with him. He is working for your own good also. Just focus on your work and the years that you are apart will just passed by so fast.

easier said than done, but yes, u will definitely get by. in the long run, u will be institutionalized of the situation wherein u will learn to deal with matters without him. it's hard at first but if both of u will keep reminding urselves the main purpose why the other has to work abroad, then everything will be totally paid off. a good motivation for both of u. 7 years of relationship and still counting, i believe this one moment of ur lives being physically separated will make u more stronger than ever and love each other more. :)

i guess it will work as long as their is an open communication to each other! go go go its only a test!

Hi my friend You are facing really a hard time but this is the time where you want get the perfect decision because it is your life you should not neglect a single minute. keep your heart hard as rock to achieve something which you want to do. dont worry keep yourself busy. it will work for you at present situation. dont worry my friend this what i can say not more then this because situation which i can understand

I think if you want this to work you definitely need to sit down with him and discuss what the situation is going to be. Is there a plan for you to relocate with him down the line? Does he even want to stay together or are you both going to simply become freinds while he is away? I avoided these questions with my ex and it left me feeling horrible wondering the whole time and eventually we grew apart because of this. I hope it all works out the best for you it is probably one of the hardest things a a person can go through emotionally.

Firstly, let me sympathise with your plight. I feel for you, I really do. However, long-distance relationships do work. When I first started seeing my boyfriend (as he was then) I would have to commute every weekend. Now, I know I saw him every week but I'm quite sure it still would've worked if one of us had stayed away for much longer. What I'm trying to say; love knows no boundaries. It does not recognise them. There are many professions whereby loved ones are apart for months at a time. It just makes it all the more sweeter when loved ones are reunited. Good luck and wish your boyfriend luck too.

Well, if the two of you are both goal-oriented.. you need to sacrifice. Just make up distance with constant communication. Thanks to the technology today, the Internet. The technology can bridge the distance. :)

I know how it feels, I've been with this situation before..It would be very hard for the first month, but you will get use to it as time goes by, constant communication will help a lot, just bear in mind that he's doing it for your bright future..both must sacrifice.And the very important thing is Trust

hey dorthy i knw its going to be very tough for u to live without u soul mate bt im sure this diatance vl make u relationship even more stronger.I can say only one thing jus b with him and spend as much time as u can with him i.e till friday.To b frank dorthy ur boyfriend is vey lucky to have a girl friend like u because by reading ur post i can make out how much u love him.Be stronge dorthy n i m sure u both vl stay togeather in the future and dorthy its the test of ur relationship i think god is testing u people jus 2 see how much u love each other.So b stronge k na.God bless u,be happy.

All you have to do is trust him no matter and what and let him trust you as well. Communicate all the time, look for ways to communicate, like chat with him everyday, cam to cam, send sms to him, I'm sure you'll find some free stuff online. Try anything you haven't tried before just to make everything work between you two. Of course i do understand the sacrifices you have to make, but when everything's done, you'll be with him forever, stronger and more loving and caring. And your relationship would be even better and stronger. It's gonna be really hard at first, but just think about the main reason why you are holding on and the reasons why you wanna hold on.

Hi dorothy09, your situation is indeed a tough one. I have been in a long sistance relationship now for 3 years and this hopefully will be the last one, I am moving with her this summer. Long distance relationships are tough. I remember the 1st year was really difficoult, me as male I could get very sad at times when I would have wanted to be with her, see her smiling , kiss her and so on. Then being jealous is something you will have to deal with, it will be almost impossible not to think if he or she is maybe falling in love with someone else so you will really have to trust eachother. At times you might feel he loves you less but that is probably just an impression, you will not be able to exchange the usual effusions, kisses cuddles and so on so just I love you might not be enough at times.But if there's one thing I can tell you with time you'll probably get used to the distance, the fist year I felt the need to talk to her everyday and if I didn't I needed to know why she couldn't talk to me, then it happened when we couldn't talk and so we sent a text to say " hey I'm out with friends or I have visitors or a party talk to you tomorrow" and that was ok. Nowdays we sometimes don't call for 5 days beacause she or me are busy with work or school and that is just fine, after 3 years I know she loves me, I trust her so I feel ok with all that. If you want to see the bright side of all this, just think that you'll be plenty of time for yourself, and don't worry, if the bond is really strong you will never break up. my gf and I had good and very bad times, we're still togheter even though we are in a long distance relationship. Be strong, if you love eachother very much you'll be probably be spending the rest of your life togheter, 7 years are nothing :)
