Long Distance Relationship

Quezon, Philippines

How many are members here in a long distance relationship? Me and my girlfriend are in a long distance relationship for 4 years now. It is not necessarily 4 years straight of long distance. She works on a cruise ship. Her contract lasts 9 months and vacation for 2 months. So basically, we only enjoy our company for 2 months and it's really hard. You guys? How do you overcome the long distance relationship?

I have experienced LDR for 3 years and it is hard because you do not really get to see each other that much and when you are in pain, your partner is not there to comfort you. It is hard. It just stopped when he went here to be with me for good.

The best feeling is when you see him/her in the airport finally :) Good thing we have the technology now.

I have never been in a long distance relationship but I think if both want it may work.

Yup. If both of you can wait, definitely love can.

at least technology helps, unlike before when people mailed letters and made long distance calls. and 2 months vacation is great compared to others that's only 1 month or less because of budget constraints.

Fortunately, in this era, technology helps a lot.

It may work fine if you're truly in love with someone, admire and trust them, and if you have something that keeps you busy in the meanwhile. It's also good if you can still keep in touch and manage to share some experiences together. I was in a relatively long distance relationship once, and it didn't work. I lacked most of the requirements I mentioned before.

I experienced long distance relationship with my husband before but just for a few months, it was kinda hard in my part because I can not sleep at night without him my by side until i used to it, also knowing that I will be with him soon.

A little bit of absence makes the heart grow fonder, as when you miss each other there is something new to talk about when you next met.

Right on the mark bro. When the time comes when you will finally both see each other, that's the sweetest feels you will ever have.
