im sorry for your situation. i wish he could work near you. just think that in a couple of years you will have enough money to live well and be together^^ he is doing this so you can have a better future. just call him often. also with computer everyday when he finishes his work you can talk and see him^^ its not the same like you are near but at least you can still see and talk to him^^ just handle this for awhile more. this is a sacrifice that needs to be done so then you can enjoy life together^^

I'm currently in a 3 year long distance relationship with my girlfriend. She still lives with her parents while I live with my dad. We both live in different states. We try to see each other once a year, but this year she couldn't come see me. Hopefully next year I will go see her since I haven't met her family in person yet while she has met mine already. It is very hard being in a long distance relationship. She would get sad a lot and sometimes it does annoy me when she gets sad and think all negatives like me never going to see her and her family. Well we would basically argue. Even the smallest things we are argue. We are arguing a lot lately, but that's cause we just need to see each other again since we couldn't see and spend time together in person this year. I love her and I know she loves me. We text everyday and almost talk over the phone everyday. We would talk about lots of things, read books, and even sleep over the phone with her on weekends when our minutes are free. I'm sure we will be together in person and live with each other. I just hope when that day comes that we are finally living together, we don't get separated.

i wish you could be together soon as i wish with me and my husband, its very hard to be separated with the one you love but as long as you love and believe that one day you'll be together in one place, it wont be impossible, just keep things working out with you guys, i wish you the best :)

Me and my husband are also in a long distance relationship now because of his work. Even if he can go on vacation every 3 months, I still feel sad and miss him so bad. What I usually do is to keep myself busy so I wouldn't be eaten with sadness. I also try to improve my cooking so when he gets here, I can surprise him with new dishes every time.

My Auntie has his husband abroad. I observed that they have CONSTANT COMMUNICATION. Also my Auntie is doing to be strong for the future of her little son and daughter :) I think that's how to manage it. Think of your little blessings and everything will be okay. God bless to you and your family. :D

Long distance relationships are really hard to maintain. I tried it before but it didn't work out. But I think if you really had a strong bonding and you always feel connected with each other despite the distance, then I guess it's workable. I just hope that you could be together soon.

thanks Ivy, i really wish for that too, but i know my husband is working out with it, his trying to apply in nearby countries, so i could visit him always or i can live with with him to start our own family. :)

Oh, my previous boyfriend and i was in a 3 years long distance relationship 2 years back. We live together just for 7 months and separated by distance for more than two years. Everyday, we make sure that we got message for each other or calls. We manage our time since we are both working, sometimes we also had a bit of arguments but we are still in love and understanding each other. We also talk 1-2 hours on phone to fulfill our needs of love and intimacy. It's important to keep connection emotionally,spiritually and even more romance. I wish you will keep on holding on, its difficult to have a long distance relationship, just make sure you trust each other. Don't let any doubts come across your mind or him, because that is the root of some bad relationships resulting to worse break ups... that quietly happened to me...but that's life we just have to face everything...and live with it. Good luck to you and your husband...

thank for the response, just like your partner, we have a constant communication too, we chat before he goes to work and he calls before i go to bed. thanks for your advice will keep that in mind :)

I can imagine how hard it is for you to be separated for a long time from the person you love. I met my boyfriend online, and since he lived in a different country, we started out with a long distance relationship. It was hard, and the times of him going back home were some of the toughest times in my life. I wish this would never need to happen again, but who knows what the future brings...
