Long Distance Relationship

A personal story in the experience: I Am In a Long Distance Relationship
I had a HUGE crush on this one guy all through high school.  A year after school we finally got together, then I moved out of the state.  We went on a weekend trip together, then I moved even further away.  Now we're engaged but we're not sure how many months it will be until we can move in together.  I miss him so much!!!  We talk on the phone every day but I'm still completely miserable.  Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do to seem closer?

I am currently living 6 hours away from my boyfriend, so know how hard it can be. I make sure that I call him every night right before I go to bed, even if I have talked to him earlier that day. It's nice to be able to say goodnight.

Your story is SO similar to mine. My bf lives 3 hours away. We started a new thing. We'll meet at IHOP each driving 1 1/2 hours. If we can't spend a weekend together we get pancakes. I can't pass an IHOP without thinking of him~~

I can know it is hard I am 1240 miles from my boyfriend, and we won't see each other till March and I last saw him at the end of October before he went back to Iraq. We talk every night on the phone and we text each other during the day. Stay strong it will all work out!

treasure the time you have together. talk as often as possible... write (real letters that can be touched) email, im, keep every line of cmmunication open. stay healthy, and take care of yourselves...both for yourselves and for each other.

But at least you girls have your boyfriends on this planet, I know mine exists somewhere but at the moment it appears he is in a galaxy far, far, away......

My BF lives 2000 km far from me, and he is from EU country, which Im not from, so its only him who can visit me, since I have trouble getting the visa. We meet once in 7 weeks or so. We've been like this for two years now, and ite very tough, what helped us is that we made a plan of getting together (I enetered university in his country and applied for students visa), and we talk a lot, also dreaming how things will be when we are together. We send messages on the phone, cards and small gifts with post, listening to the same song at the same time as we talk on skype, tell each other all details of our day. Still, its very very hard, there is not much left to do than to hold on :( in the end, true love always wins, and when you get together, you will appreciate each other sooo much.

Very hard, anything to make you guys feel closer i have no suggestions... Make sure you talk and write as much as possible.. Keep him in your heart and in your thoughts constantly...never forget to tell him how much you love and wish he were by your side..Never measure the distance measure the love... Everthing works out in time, this i have to believe for myself as well :) hope this helps you...

I was in a long distance relationship for 5 months. When we could no longer stand being 1700 miles apart, he moved away to be with me. We've lived together now for 4 months. It has caused all kinds of problems with my family. (Not liking the fact that we are living together, not married.) The adjustments have been very stressful. He had to leave his job there and find work here. Be careful what you wish for.
