I'm in a long distance relaionship and I believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I've been with my bf for almost 2 years now and I realized that I love him more than anything after we begin to be apart from each other.

Well there is a saying which says if you love someone let him be free, if he comes back he is yours and if he does,nt then he was never yours. So sometimes absence makes a heart fonder but at times one also realises that the bond was not strong it was just a habit to be together. So things can go bothways.

Just always keep the communication line always open. Communication is very important in a long distance relationship. Second, is trust., you must fully commit yourself to trust him all the time. Third, Understanding., you should have a wide and broad understanding about your situation now. I know it's not easy to hold on, but as long as you love him, you know where you both stand and your promises with each other, well, there;s nothing wrong after all.. Continue to be the same gf as what he had left you. dont change and be more loving and supportive to your boyfriend.

I feel that way about somebody too. She doesn't call me though. And I have been paying her as my massage therapist. I'm really hoping it grows fonder and that I never lose her. I love her, whatever happens or doesn't. Its painful to be away from her often times. My heart is aching right now.

I think it definitely depends on the people involved. I'm involved in a semi long-distance relationship now (my baby lives about 3 hours away from where I go to college, and she attends college 6 hours away), so we only get to see each other every few weekends, but I know that we both do our best to establish a date for the next time we'll get together. It gives us something to look forward to, and I know I wake up most mornings thinking that I'm one day closer to seeing her again. I think it'd be harder if we weren't able to communicate as often. What with e-mail and cell phones (yay for in-network free calls), we get to talk a lot, so that helps too. I can't imagine what it'd be like if I couldn't talk to her every day.

I agree with you! I think I'll go nuts if I won't be able to communicate with my bf too. Thanks for sharing and goodluck on your relationship!
