Okay...so you have met someone on CS and really liked him/her, got on well in IM, text and calls. Everything is going well, he/she lives quite far away...you travel there, maybe different culture. Things go well...better than expected, you discover love so deep...Then you have to go home, leaving him/her. You want to continue the relationship....they do too.

How do you deal with a long distance relationship??

Tell your experiences here...

wave I was in a long distance relationship that lasted few years (too long if you ask me) wink

Don't get me wrong I don't regret it, but there is something very tricky about the distance..if you wait too long to make the arrangements to be together it is quite possible you will find yourself being in that relationship only cause you got used to it (and you are neither looking for someone else nor moving anywhere with your long distance relationship)..

My experience has thought me that if you have met someone that you are quite positive you like or love a great deal, you should talk about getting together on a permanent bases (that is if you are serious about staying together)..

The only way to overcome the distance is for one of you to leave their country and you should both ask yourself if you want that..

You are not going to find out more about each other by talking on the net and with the miles in between, the question is are you willing to make the jump into the unknown and is your love and trust that strong..

Take the risk or move on..JMO

I've been in a long-distance relationship, albeit not to a different country...

My suggestion is to visit first. Making the leap to live in another region takes lots of planning...If you don't do so, things will end, and badly...JMO...thumbs up grin

I came on CS about a year ago..

I wasnt looking for any type of relationship here..

Just to have some adult conversations..a few laughs..and that was it...

I started talking to my Husband here in Nov...

We met in March..He came to Canada and from there, we talked email..on the forums..but mostly on the phone..

and now i have since moved to North Carolina where he is...gotten married and in the spring will be moving back to my home town in Canada...

but having a long distance relationship and being apart for very long is a strain on any relationship...

It wasnt easy for us to be away for that long..he has visited me often..but its not the same as being together all the time...

It takes guts...honesty..communication.. of course TRUST...and if you truely want this..Then it will happen...Your mind..body..Soul have to be in it..or it wont workteddybear hug

Wonderful.

Living proof that it can work.

If we go in believing that it will not work then it will not.

How do you deal with a long distance relationship??

Tell your experiences here...



Its best to discuss the possible senarios at the earliest possible time...
to decide whether a relationship is even feasible.....
If you are rooted in a business and can't move there, well that takes care of that, and if the other person is vested in a career that is taking care of their personal situation and can't move either, than that takes care of that....

You have to be together for a normal relationship to proceed... there are differant relationships that can develope with emails, phones and webcams, but in reality, I think they are short term fixes... people need to be together physically eventually....

So.... the point is, SOMEBODY has to move, and if neither one can, than it needs to be discussed so there are no unnecessary expectations that can result in emotional stress....

Not easy, is it?

Cultural issues are other complicating issues
