How I did it: Both parties must be dedicated to the fulfillment of a long distance relationship or it will not work. For us, we would have a 30-60 minute call once a week; when he wasn't working and I wasn't in school we'd chat online too. We e-mailed each other quite a lot, but we also mailed physical stuff to each other. Having physical things to hold on to (even if it's just a letter) really helps remind both people in the relation… Read how I did it…
How I did it: We made sure to set time to talk every day, or every few days - no matter how trivial the conversation. You miss having meals together, or walking together, when your significant other isn't w/you, particularly at college - so it's nice to even discuss the small stuff. We also make sure to plan out when we're going to see each other next - it makes the time in between go faster. Read how I did it…
alisonmariexoxo is working all day!
How I did it: We met each other in Washington but he was only visiting...from San Francisco, CA. We spent the next year talking through MySpace, texts, and hour long phone calls. He visited me twice and I flew down one time but those trips passed by so quickly and the time without him was so slow. But we perservered through it, because we knew what the other meant to us. As my Christmas present last year, he drove 800 miles, most of it in whiteout cond… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Remembering that if I think he's worth it, then I have to hang on! He is an absolutely wonderful man and I was reminded of that every day. Being faithful and loving and knowing that some day we would be together forever kept us going. Now we're husband and wife! Read how I did it…
How I did it: It took lots of phone calls, emails, IMs, and tears... but after three long years we decided to get married, and he's moved into town for graduate school. When he's done next year we're getting married! Read how I did it…

I wish I could just sit and talk to her, with no time constraints. It sucks being limited like that. I really hope someone buys these paintings so I can go see her. Her mind is so many places that I can only catch it for a moment and I have to leave a lasting impression. I love her, and I know she’s going to be someone so incredible and i hope she knows that.Am I a love sick fool? All these people around me purely focused on art, while i use part of my attention to give to the one i love? I know that if it came down to it, I’d get the boot if i became a distraction… maybe..this time, because I’mthe one willing to settle down, my partner wont want that..n i wont hold her back… sigh

My boyfriend is from France and going to Med School in the US would be too expensive.
He got accepted into Med School in the Caribbeans. Yeah, sounds exciting, but it’s not. He’s so busy with classes and studying so hard every day that we barely get to talk except once a week on Skype and through really short “How’s it going” e-mails.
I won’t be able to see him until Christmas and it sucks! He’s been gone for over two months and I miss him.
2 years and we’ll be back together for sure! Can’t wait! He’s going to make an excellent doctor!
Vickyjkelly is figuring out a few things I can achieve on here! <3
I just thought I would give a quick update on here, when I noticed that 2 months has passed since I was going to see my fiance last!! I was there for 3 weeks, so that adds to it, but still. I think I must be getting used to this because every week felt like a year before my last trip back.
Well, we are still going strong! We speak every day still, but have been having problems with the internet so can’t always have a webcam call. That is frustrating, it is amazing the difference it makes being able to see the person you are talking to!
It has been a wee bit hard the last 3 weeks because I broke my ankle. Thankfully I am staying with my parents for the time being here in the Middle East, so they can help me out, but sometimes I just need a hug from the man I love! He feels terrible not being able to be here for me too.
But hopefully the distance is coming to an end… I have a feeling we will be back together soon.
And I managed to follow my own advice and we managed to not fight too much while I was home (once or twice, which is to be expected really!). It made all the difference and we had a fantastic time together, the great Spanish weather helped. We got out of the house and did lots of activities (Kayaking, sailing, water park, drove up a huge mountain, eating out, dancing…it has been brilliant!). And we managed to keep the tears at bay until the last hour or so before I left. Made every minute count.
Well, I’ll be back to update soon I’m sure <3

I must get a passport this week so i can see her at the end of the year :D
I’m so happy that you came here. And that we talked. But now I am a bit sad cos you had to leave. I could have stayed like that for ever. I’m your arms. Next to you. It just feels so right. No one else makes me feel like this.
I still have so much faith in us. I know we can make it. Even though long distance relationship isn’t always easy, I wouldn’t change this to any other relationship with someone else. We have soon been together 2 years (and in LD all that time, even though the distance has gotten smaller after the first year) and it’s not always easy to be apart. But every time I am with him, when we see again after awhile, It’s always worth waiting. And I still get excited every time we meet. And when we aren’t together, I know he’s not going anywhere. I’ll be waiting for him as well. This relationship, him, gives me a lot of strength face my uncertain future. Our future.
Yeah. I still love him a lot ♥
My ld relationship im worried hes cheating but i have faith we talk on the phone for about four to five hours each night sometimes eight he’s doesnt have a computer so no online talks. we argue a lot but living apart is annoying and phone conversations are annoying I just want to be near him. I have two kids in a previous relationship and one kid with him. we live about 250 miles apart

cherriblossom asks,
“My bf is in medical school so I'm 3rd on his priority list, if I put him 3rd on my list...will we start to grow distant. I get crushed whenever I check to see if he's online and he's not. We both don't show regularly on our scheduled dates.”

“It might be time for us to say goodbye to the relationship soon. I've found another guy I like, and my LD boy has changed very much. If I break up with my LD boy, would that be considered "not surviving" the relationship?”
