I am inlove with my bf for 3months and the problem is we are in a long distance relationship. At first we are constantly communicating since i call him or he calls me. But lately i know he is busy and he dont have much time for me. Am i losing him? I need to hear some advices.

That depends on the two of you. If you both cling to that relationship, then it will work. I had been in a long-distance relationship for almost nine years now. It's hard. Really. Especially that you do not know what the other is doing, or thinking. On my part, after a long-distance relationship,I almost lost my boyfriend of six years. He found another girl and almost married her. But then, for some reason, he came back to me and married me instead. We are now married but we still keep a long-distance relationship since he works abroad. But our realtionship did work. I hope yours, too. The only advice I can give you is "trust, love, understand, and be patient." Most of all, no matter what happens, show him he means so much to you and that you'll always be there for him when he needs you during his hardships. He'd feel that and love you more no matter the distance.

Believe me, been there, done that, and I am over it. LOL Long distance boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't work for me. The best thing to do is, make the most out of your days without him next to you. Take good care of your heart, Christine. :)

Thanks Pooksywooksy.. am just keeping myself busy and connected to him. That'll work if we are really meant for each other.

it worked for me and my husband. it depends on the level of your relationship and the situation you are both in to but my advice is this.. trust, understanding and love but most of all let God be the center of the relationship and surely it will work

I guess u are in a different level already since he is already your husband. God will always be the center. Thank you
