Currently, I'm having relationship with the girl I found on Yahoo Messenger two years ago, so much fun and also so much problem. I've never met or know the girl before. I live in Washington DC, US and she live in Indonesia (country where I'm from), she was 21 when I first chat with her, I said to her that i will come back to Indonesia end of this year (2012), but because of some problems, i'm not sure if i could go back this year. She keep telling me that if I don't come back this year, she gonna leave me. I talk to her on skype on daily basis, even her parents and my parents they all agreed, they visit each others regularly. my problem is how to make this long distance relationship works for another year, and make her believe its for the best for both of us.

Long distance relationship is really hard. I had a boyfriend who I was with for about a year but he end up moving to England for two semesters for school. It was ok at first but then I would miss him- miss seeing him in person, touching him and stuff like that. It got pretty bad to a point where I would get mad at him for no reason. I broke up with him after 5 months but we patched things up eventually. Just tell her you love her and will be with her soon.

Good day Hartawan1983, With reference to your post, it is really hard to maintain a long distance relationship. As, distance is like a trap to each. When you feel alone, you will somehow look for somebody to be with. Hence, in this situation, communication seems to be very important. Since this is the main ingredient to ease up the loneliness of each. At the same time to make each one to feel that someone is there for each other. And in your situation right now, perhaps, it will be best to talk to each other and try to patch up things so everything will be settled accordingly.

Whatever is keeping you from the visit you need to work around. A long distance relationship requires sacrifice.
