Long distance relationships... vent here!

yeah, i know, horrible thread, but hey, I know there are alot of people who are in long distance relationships, and sometimes need to vent, like me.
I love my boyfriend to death, he's my best friend, and I can't see myself with out him right now. But he goes to college a few hours away from me. granted, i do not in anyway regret starting a relatiponship with him when I did, but being so far away makes it incredibly hard. I can't even imagine what it's like for a friend of mine who has a thing going w/ a guy a whole ocean away from us. Anyone got any advice on how to make this less difficult than it already is?????

ohhh...gez...thank god u ve seen him in person before..I hope ...Just talk to him each nite and plan something on the weekends...get a webcam to talk to him...hope it helps

Well, in my opinion and in my experience, it doesnt really work. Maybe because its me, i know few people who manage to keep it going.

For me, it was becoming really hard to do, especially since we'd both get super paranoid, and he would ring me like 5 times in a night to see where i am and what im doing. I was finding it hard too, because there were people who i really became close to and wanted our friendship to progress, but couldnt because i had a ''boyfriend'' 5 hours away from me on the train.
Then one night, he said he would call me, and he never did - then in the morning i got a phone call and he said he has something to tell me.

When i asked him what, he said that he has done something horrible - that hes been with someone else, and that this morning he woke up next to her. And that was the end of that.

But thas just me - like i said, it could well work, im definitivly not discarding the idea - it just never ever worked for me.

I can't even imagine what it's like for a friend of mine who has a thing going w/ a guy a whole ocean away from us.

Referring to me, of course...

Yes, we went to hs togeather. I do talk to him every night, and sadly, webcams don't work cuz of firewalls set up at his school🙁. We do try to get togeather as much as possible, but I do have work and school, and he has school and extra curriculars.

Is it an internet thing, or have they been together in real life?

lil bitchiness: I have had other long distance relationships too, which is why I'm trying so hard to make this one work, cuz my other two didn't. Thankfully, neither one of us has jealousy issues. the onlt issue we've had related to that was when a guy from my now exjob kissed me, but thankfully he understood that I didn't want it to happen... thank god...

It isn't really "long distance" because you see him once in a while. I used to know people who were together, and talked on the internet when they couldn't be with eachother. I say it depends on your mental capacity to handle such a thing. I'm not saying I've had/have/ever had/ever will have any, I'm just playing neutral, and going by what has been said in the posts. So good luck to you, and your friend, must be harsh an overseas relationship.

I think it would be hard to keep a long distance relationship.After all sure you can write back and forth and call but it would not be the same thing as him or her being with you.
I think close distance relationhips are better.JM

hey, it's true, can't imagine how frustrating that is...
sorry if u didn't want me to say anything.. 🙁

Nah, it's not a problem, it's not like it's a big secret or anything.

Milla -- Momo was referring to me, and for the moment it is only an internet thing, due to the distance...it's Ush. And it is hard that we aren't actually together, but we are so incredibly determined to make it work out.

Woah, Alana, are you being serious?

Yeah, babes, I am.

So how serious is this ''relationship''?

I just never pinned you as a type to believe in internet love. 😕

Well, I guess some people may not have much luck in the areas/towns/wherever they live in with the opposite sex, so they search the internet.

You know what? I never thought I would, either. But...people change...

And it's quite serious...

So any plans of you coming to London!?

We're working on it!

You'll love England. Believe me.
