(LDR) Long Distance Relationship ( Archived) (170)

robplum: LDR just been listening to Australian SBS Insight TV program interviewing four couples who dated online. Australian guys, three Chinese lady partners and one Vietnamese lady partner.
The program organizer interviewed each couple about dating experience, how they met and how down the track (five / six years) the relationships were working.

Got real laugh from one couple, the lady engaged dating agency, her instructions were simple really as sought a partner she could trust and he didn't gamble..
The lady had her online dating agency manager, happily chatting with the potential Australia partner as if it was her that was communicating with him.
In other words, the guy the whole time believed he was chatting with his potential partner. However actually all the while he was making arrangements, creating relationship including right up until he actually met the lady on his arrival in China. Even then he had no idea she hadn't communicated one single word with him.
He knows now but didn't have a clue hahaha six years later quite happy together...

lindsyjones: Have you ever gotten involved with one? How did it work or is it still working?

How many times have you had one?

What are the highlights if there is any and what are the drawbacks as well?

Thanks all for reading and comments if any.

lindsyjones: Absolutely Mimi. It has to be. Both responsibility to build the relationship. Just like what Mercdedes mentioned, if both parties are in it 100 percent together, it should work.

You and Art are a couple and one of the most current success on here that I am aware of.

MiMiArt: I think we won just half the battle. There’s another half to be won....that is when I go and live with him in the US.
However, I don’t think it’d be a daunting task at all coz Art and I have gotten to know each other pretty well over the 2 years where we Skype for many hours on a daily basis.
I’m sure there’d be a bit of fine-tuning to be made here and there but nothing major.
I really can’t wait to embark on this new exciting chapter of my life. I know we’d have a few bumps along the road but that’s ok, nothing that we can’t discuss and overcome.
All I wanna say is, Art is someone worthwhile for MiMi to leave the comfort of her home and country and its yummy food for!

ysabeljhen: Mi2 can't wait for the wedding bells

MiMiArt: Jhen, it’d be Arty’s 3rd marriage and a second one for me therefore we have decided to have just a simple courthouse ceremony with just 2 witnesses, probably his sisters

Are you still with Glen?

ysabeljhen: Wedding prep was all set and the date.
His sister who is also a nurse and her husband will be coming with him from North Carolina to Florida.
Things were not meant to be....When it was their flight Glenn had cardiac arrest at the airport and has to run him to hosp.

MiMiArt: Oh nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

ysabeljhen: I received a call from his sister Judy that he is fighting and doesn't want to die.All I wanted is to be by his side but distance is not possible.Accdg to his sister he want's to fly here after he recovered .
