I was in a 5 year LDR with a guy from America I met on here. We started as friends that talked daily for a year when we realized that maybe there could be more. I went to the states 3 times and stayed 6 months each time. We got on great..both would have moved in a heart beat but sometimes its just not possible We remain friends though to this day.
I swore I would never get involved in long distance again.
Currently Im in a 2 year relationship with someone I met LD from the UK We met through mutual friends and got to know each other for a year through talking daily and decided to meet.We were lucky he had a much sort after work skill and is now living here in Australia with me for the past year. We were lucky that every thing fell into place for us but it took commitment from both of us to get to where we are now.
Any relationship..LD or local is hard..it needs a lot of give and take..good communication is essential as is the commitment to put in the hard yards. The hardest part is the UNLEARNING of thoughts and ideas we accumulate as a single person and to RELEARN to be a 1/2 of a whole.
we get older and think we have it all worked out..
maybe thats the problem..we have it all worked out too well...
think back to your first date...
no trust issues....no baggage...no expectations...
after being hurt in a relationship..
do we look for the bad bits unconciously trying to protect ourselves?
do we have such a long list of does and donts that no one can measure up to them?
I think we also get a little selfish after being on our own for a while..weve only had ourselves to please and sometimes its hard to add another person into the equation.
she made me feel bad for being human with human failings...
one night at a party I dropped the magic 4 letter word..and with a butter wouldnt melt in her mouth voice told me it wasnt nice for a lady to swear. A male friend of mine popped up and said ..."oh so its ok to do it but not say it?"...turns out she was a bit of a hoe and had slept with most of the guys in the room. It was a long fall down of her pedestal.....
In any relationship no two people love exactly the same.. I think learning how to show and express love comes in our formative years. I have found people who grew up in a home where love wasnt expressed with hugs..kisses etc find it hard to do that as adults..yet although unable to show it in physical ways still love deeply and show it in other ways. Its OUR need for love to be shown in a certain way that makes us feel like we ar'nt being loved.
