As long as it takes. But realistically, I would not do it for longer than is necessary.
but if you see the lives of people these days even in no busy places,,,its reality and due to glabal changes and busy life and recession,peole moving in search of job long distances,,so many people away from their loved ones for long a year or months or more
i had friend halvo,,who married and stayed with her bride wife for 2 months and he will come back after 1 year

Yes I agree, and I experience this myself. But who would want to do this if they had a choice? I go about 6 months, then I cannot stand it any longer....
How long can one do this? It really does depend on the person.

The thought just crossed my mind about families separated in South Africa under the apartheid regime and only getting to see each other once a year, if that.

So what would you do if the separation was longer than six months?
End the relationship?
Wouldn't this mean being in a relationship was more important than the person?

No I wouldn't, but as I said it depends on choice. 6 months is chosen to accommodate the conflicting priorities. My desire to be with my fiance, and her desire to move here. So by necessity, we must be apart as my government will not allow her to apply for the necessary visa if she were here with me.
If I had to go longer than 6 months I would, but I would prefer to not even go one day being apart from her....
And how about you? Would you throw away the best thing in your life because of time apart?

I'm confused by you statement, regarding not being able to stand more than 6 months. From your statement above, you are saying you could stand more than 6 months.
As for your question, to what do you refer when you use the word 'thing'?

Yep, all things getting in the way; business, commitments, job.. for Bowie it was the Berlin Wall;

Okay, I see that I need to use simple words here....
I love my fiance.
So I do not want to be apart from her.
But we have to be.
Our relationship is worth more than gold, silver, precious stones, or even jobs and possessions.
So I would wait for her for as long as I have to.
If this means longer than a year, I would wait.
If this means less than a year, I will wait.
I will visit her when I can. At this time, there are circumstances that prevent me from being able to travel to her country again until about September this year. If I must wait longer than this, then I will do so.
Can you understand this????
It is not love that has forced the separation, but government imposed national borders that do not recognise love and make it hard to two people to be together without jumping through a lot of hoops, for money of course.
And the "thing" I refer to is obviously something you have yet to experience by your confession of a sense of confusion.... it is the life changing love for another person whereby their welfare and to love them is worth sacrificing for, worth waiting for, and worth putting everything on the line for.
When you feel this sort of love, then you will no longer have a sense of confusion about what I am talking about. You will understand and be able to empathise.
I chose this site because I felt that somewhere in the world my partner was waiting for me. We will meet this summer and it will be necessary to be apart again for awhile after that until we can get the visa situation worked out. This, however, is a temporary situation and after that we should be able to be together. He is educated, speaks several languages, and will be able to find a job anywhere for good pay so we can be together.
I know I would not do well in a relationship where my partner was away from home for long periods of time just to make ends meet financially. I'd rather be poor and together.

It would be a test, of your love and commitment for that person, so the question should be "how strong is the bond that holds you together"

Interesting that you should get all patronising, when it was your own communication skills that were lacking.
First you say you couldn't stand to wait more than six months, then you say you could. Why did you make the first statement if it wasn't true and then treat me like I'm stupid for not understanding why you made a false statement?
When you use a word like 'thing' you do not communicate with accuracy to that which you refer. Why should I automatically know what's going on inside your head without you communicating it? Why would I have to have the same experiences, or different experiences from you in order to be able to accomplish telepathy over the internet with a stranger?
If I say I have a thing in my hand, would it be fair, skilled or intelligent to imply you're a simpleton for not knowing what is in my hand?

This strikes me as being an odd question.
How does one put a time frame on how long one is prepared to be separated from a loved one?
If I were to say a time frame and if separation went on longer would I be realistic in then saying, "I really love you, but you've had your time limit"? Is that a representation of loving someone and wanting to be with them?
Or is it a representation of simply wanting to be in a relationship and the particular 'loved' one somewhat irrelevant?

just in general discussion
if you been somewhere away from home so would you wait for your loved one or not and if yes how long one will wait
