kissmedeeply: Hello, what do you mean by Family???

By being with the man you love..Wont you be starting another Family???

For Me i would leave everything to be with the man i love...

and for the Dad thing..Their dad left...and went away from the kids...

So Love wins hands down...

I will do everything i can in my power to be with him...

So later on in life i dont look back and regret anything...

I just think to many people give up way to easily on LOVE
i have a very close relationship with my mam and dad ,
im good friends with my kids dad and he loves them and they love him a lot,,
it wouldnt be fair for me to choose to live far away oer my kids happiness,
no man is worth more than my kids,
if i had no ties here i would have moved away years ago

I understand what you are saying..

but kids do adjust very quickly...

but each to their own..

and sounds to me you and them are happy..that is great..

But i have family in Canada..and that is where they will be

My man is in NC..and that is where i will be..

I cannot make everyone happy...

Only myself and that is what it will be..

If i am happy so will everyone else be.

all the best

the only thing that can make a long distance relationship work is trust,if you cant or have no trust then it is dommed from the onset ,period.

gigi36: well speaking from experience, they dont work. i fell in love with someone wh loved me back so it seems and then he just let me go. we were 1000 miles apart. good luck

I had about the same experience. I met a girl and we fell for eachother head over heels. It was like everything we had hoped for fell right in our lap. I am in IN and she was in CT right about 1000 miles apart. I had spent almost everything I had to go see her a couple of times. She was always talking about how great it would be if I could come there and be with her. So I figured out I could actually start school there and use the grant and loan money to relocate myself to be with her. I told her I had found a way, and she told me she didn't want me there and to forget she ever existed. She called me everything in the book and did everything she could to rip my heart out so the connection would be completely severed.
On the other hand I have a friend that had a long distance relation and he ended up moving there and is happily married.
So can they work. The answer is temporarily. If both people want it to work after awhile it will no longer be long distance because you will end up together. If you don't want it bad enough to be worth what it is you will have to do then no it will not work.

it is like so many other things,,it can go either way. Just be careful not to put yourself in financial jeopardy! or lose your buisness things that might require your attention. But in Love we dont see those things,,,we see only the hope and joy we once felt, I know for me, I sure can't afford to do it,,,they would have to come to me this time.
