I wish it were that simple. I have worked hard my entire life for what little I have and I would have to give up most of it to move closer to him and really give this a shot. Not only would I sacrifice, but my family would too, so the decision impacts other people that I love.

Anyway, I'm not at a crossroad just yet, so I have time before I need to make any decisions. For now, I'll just enjoy the budding romance and see where it leads me.

riyablossom: If there is love , its worth taking the chance .. its not how much time or will it work but taking the chance to see so there is no regret of having let it go.

Marriage doesn't cement anything. You either have a solid relationship or you don't. LDR relationships require a heavier trust investment than a local relationship. Since I trust no one .....LDRs are out of the question
marriage is obviously out of the question, too[/quote


Good morning 'ship'....I agree with you 100% on all your points. I suffer from the same mistrust. I like the photo, I believe that is the first one I have seen of you, it does'nt show your pain.

You would'nt think you had any, from the picture....I do wish you would consider me a friend, if only a long distance one. I feel a connection with your hurt and circumstances!!!

I hope you are having a great day!

There are always other factors involved with making a life changing decsion, but what you have to ask yourself, how much am I really willing to sacrifice to have that possible one true love.. as more time goes by, and things progress i'm sure you will know what to do, I gave my entire life up where I was to be with that girl.. and now I am finally getting my life back together... it has been very tough on me, but the experience has made me a stronger and better man..

I think as long as you are both realistic about the whole thing, anything is possible. The problem is that some people aren't aware of anything going on around them when they enter the fantasy world of online dating at a distance. Sometimes that 10 pound sledge comes crashing down on top of their head when reality actually sets in.

I guess I don't believe there is only one true love. I have loved several men in my lifetime. From each one I learned something about my self and grew stronger, more aware as you have. One day, i'm sure I'll meet one that I want to spend my remaining days with.

yeah, I think we are trying to keep it real, but sometimes its hard not to let your imagination run a way with you. That what happens when you fall in love isn't it? You have to believe anything is possible. Otherwise you let all the doubts and previous hurts destroy any possibility for the future.

It means a decision point. A place where you have to make a choice on which path to follow. Common American phrase.

Yes, I was in one last year. It was beautiful while it lasted. The distance was no problem.

kissmedeeply: I am in the one..

relocating to North Carolina..

distance is hard..but if you stick to it and work at it..things will be fine..

i am getting married


Hey, Joanne, part of the hardness, I think, would be the legal status of a Canadian in the U.S. I've just sent you a private email, but perhaps some here would be curious what you're going through in terms of acquiring the right to stay in the U.S.

I don't find distance a problem.. (well. sometimes! devil )

But everything is achievable if you both want it enough.

My dopey ex BF (from the UK).. he ended our relationship a few (3-4?) years ago because he found the distance so hard.. .. It was only just under 300 miles..

I could have WALKED it.. haha.. roll eyes

We have always stayed good friends.. and he visits sometimes or me there when I am flying off somewhere oh hols.. giggle

He is always telling me.. :: boohoo:: I miss you soo much.. if it weren't for the distance we would be together..

hahah!..
yeah riiiight..
If you had a SPINE more like..

300 miles.. Pffft!.. thats NADA!

roll eyes laugh

I don't think it's as much about the distance, as about the emotional and physical ties, as well as visas for residency in other countries.
