Hi Cookiebar! I am also in a long distance relationship right now with my boyfriend. We really began in a long distance relationship because his hometown was really far from mine. We met each other when I went on a vacation to his place. Fortunately, we have been committed to each other for more than 2 years now. He visits my place once a year though since I am still busy with my studies and he is also starting a career so he strives to have good performance in his work. I would say that trust and constant communication are really vital specially in long distance relationships. Yes we do have conflicts at times specially when one of us tends to have no time at all for the other due to school/work requirements. When it comes to faithfulness, it is also the choice of the persons involved. Both of us chose to remain loyal and faithful to each other that's why we reached two years and still counting and going strong. Also, don't forget to include your relationship in your prayers because life is full of uncertainties. God bless!

I do not think that distance can separate people in loving. I have lots of friends who loved and married from long distances. I always believe that only thing that really matters is real love. If we really love a person distance never matters. Sometimes we mistakes affection for love.

Well, I am someone who don't really believe in long distance relationship. Maybe I am paranoid. For me, such relationship will only work if both party really love each other and keep true to that. No playing around with other just to fill time and the feeling won't waver through time. If I involves in such relationship, I'll wonder whether my partner will really be loyal to me. I'll probably feel uneasy.

Long distance love affair could be a little harder. But,when you trust and love that person,there is no hindrance for that love to become stronger and even grow fonder. Constant communication is very important with long distance love. Always try to make him/her feel how much you love,and love won't fade even in this miles away situation.

Hi Cookiebear, stop being worried and trust me that is not a difficult situation. Though I'm getting married soon, but I'm still in a long distance relationship with my fiance. We have been on this relationship for 5 years now living 7000 miles from each other, and this not as less as 1000 miles only. We saw each other between 3 to 4 months each year, of course we always spend Christmas together. We never had a chance yet for celebrating Valentine's Day together nor we ever had a chance in celebrating each other's birthday. But we manage to go trough all of the trouble and distance, we are engaged for 3 years after being in a relationship for 2 years before that and we are finally getting married next year and will be living together (we already have our own house) But as you said, love stronger and longer than the distance, that it what it takes ( and this is the only first rule) What to expect? Yes, you are going to be miserable, because you will missed him and you will think everything is against your relationship including money. Arguments, will always happen and it will become more stressful when you can't properly communicate to say sorry without being able to do it face to face and give a hug to each other. Communication, make a wise decision and set up a schedule if you two are really serious to each other. If only just using phone and chatting are not very convenient then use skype free video calling, no charge no hassle, you only need computer with camera and internet connection. You two need to constantly communicate to each other and always discuss anything you need to on time. But at the same time make sure to enjoy every money you are spending with him even if you two are far away from each other. Appreciate his existence even if it's only on video, and he will do the same for you. Trust, always trust him and don't assume just because you are not there to see what he's doing everyday means he's free to go and cheat anytime he likes. And make sure to give him an assurance about the same thing at the same time. Plan, don't forget to make a plan on when you want to see each other, set the goal and make a calculation on how much you need to save for the travel. And don't forget to keep working hard on all these things. There are many more but those things above are what really what most important to be done. Also expect that there will be a lot of people who will let you down and tell you that it is never gonna work and lond distance relationship is hard to make it work, I have faced that for 5 years, but I trust myself more than I trust what those people told me. So trust yourself too, follow what your heart say and don't make a blind decision based on what other told you. Good luck and have a nice day I hope my response is not tool long
