Long distance relationship

Hi friends!

I wonder if someone of you ever had long distance relationships? May be your boyfriend/girlfriend or even husband/wife lives in another city or another country. How do you feel in this case? Does your love become stronger? Or maybe you feel that you are growing apart?

How to keep love when you don't see each other for a long time?

hi friends,

i think long distance relation could be a blow if trust and mutual self assurance is not in position. i am a victim and my analysis has proved that the best things to do in situations like this is to enforce communication and make each other understand that nothing must go wrong as long as you both love each other. my partner never believed anything i say, even when i am hurted. she would often accuse me of things i have not done, all in the name of rumour and self compose.  it needs trust as i said, and everything will be okay. just believe in each other

well folks. i think it depends on the subject.. on the case.. on the condition.

 

i'll take my experience as an example.

 

my dad was a lecture in an university in the city where i live. but three years ago he got a call from his hometown, which is pretty far from my town, to have a job there. so until now he still works there for government. me, my sisters, and my mom left here. he comes back to his home here when he got a duty here or when he has free time. at first we felt a bit difficult for this condition. but surprisingly since he moved i felt i love him more :) i felt every second we spend together is a great moment. he can control his emotion. he's not gonna angry easily again like he was.

 

afterall i feel really greatful of this condition. eventho we meet rarely, but my love for him grows stronger b coz of this condition. but yeah. in my story it happens in same country, even in same province, not in a different country. and somehow it proves that long distance relationship will work to people who have faith in themselves to be successfull in such kind of ong distance relationship :)
