How to deal with a long distance relationship?

Both me and my g/f r goin 2 separate unis and are goin to be so far away from each other. I cannot envisage cheating on her and vice versa. But there is no doubt that am gona miss her like mad. Am going to throw myself in my studies or extra curricular activities to make less worse and also take sum pics. Sum ppl say 'out of mind, out of sight' but then apparently 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'.





I guess the best thing is to take it 1 day @ a tym.How to deal with a long distance relationship?
Well it's not easy Sam but it can be done! My partner had to leave and go back to ireland while i lived in Scotland, work reasons. He worked all week, off wekk-ends, i did night shifts included 3 week-ends out of four so came 4th week-end ... I was too shattered to travel and he aslo had things to do in Ireland, children etc. So we didn't see much of each other. We phoned and texted daily though. At times i'd be stressed, take what he would say badly, then other times he'd be stressed out and take what i said badly so we'd end up arguing and hung up on each other. But we survived and we grew stronger! Being apart was a good lesson to us, it certainly made it crystal clear that we did belong with each other!





Can i give you a bit of advice? Were you and your g/f within walking distance of each other, you could argue then pop round and make it up. With long distance, always make sure you never finish a phone call with bad words, a row or whatever and if you do then make a point of texting her, tell her you do love her so she knows for sure! Also write to her! My aprtner and i wrote to each other, we would send post cards, letters! Sometimes short other times long and we kept surprising each other with little presents, totally unexpected. OK you won't have much money but little things arriving in an envelope when you don't expect them can mean the world to you when you're away from home and away from the person you love.





Indeed some people would say that out of mind out of sight because it happens at times but in our case it was the opposite! We made sure of it! And absence did make us wish and want that we could be reunited and we are now, have been for 11 months and do you kow what? We're happier than we ever were! Appreciate each other so much more than we did.





I hope this can be the case for you both.

One word...Webcam. =)
um... long distance relationships sometimes don't work.dont be suprised if she cheats on you. and be prepared for heartbreak
Idonknow
Yes, with the internet and online chat and web cams and email, there's no reason not to stay in touch and keep the relationship alive.
It will never work. You or her will end up drunk one night and in bed with somebody else - i guarentee this.


Otherwise have weekends/holiday visits to each other.
These days long distance relationships are not too hard because of the Internet and cheap phone calls.





If you two are meant to be together it will work out
You have to have trust in each other if you dont have that then you are in trouble,cause the mind plays some serious games with us at times.
Been there done that - it does work if you work at it. Communication is king here....before I would get deployed I would write a few notes and date them to be opened on ';X'; day - with a couple of special cards that said something like ';to be opened when...'; and those would have copies of pictures of ';us'; together with words of encouragement....it worked so well that before I left the second time I had a package of the same thing...and it kept everything closer.

I've done long distance relationships and it worked for a while, but he was actually like 2 hours away. I would just go visit when I could. As long as it doesn't bother you, and you are happy - who cares what other people think! Is your girl happy with these arrangements? When you do meet again, it'll be awesome! But it is all up to what you are willing to put up with and go through. People have long distance relationships all the time. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. You will not know how it is going to turn out for you until you go through it. Then you can make the decision in the future if you would ever do it again. For now, just go with what you feel.
cute messages all the time...


call her few times a day to tell her what are u doing and how much u miss her


and whenever u can email her love poems..and e-cards..


or better u can buy a diary and write in it the things u think about her and about ur feeling everyday that passes when ur away from her..and when u see her give it to her..


good luck!
Distance is just that,distance! A heart doesn't know distance,only your mind knows this. So are you able to think with your mind or your heart? If you cheat on her then you never cared anyway,because as distance is distance,sex is sex, a cheat is a cheat, a liar is a liar. Be true to your self and let your heart grow fonder.
in my own experience, there are less possibilities that it will last long, there are chances that she'll be cheating on you or the other way around unless if you and your gf are loyal to each other which is of course very rare in this modern world that were living in now, anything might happen that ur not aware of, just be prepare and u should be aware of any circumstances or heartaches that may arise, anyway wish you both the best.
experience talking. probably after a couple of months you will find yourself less ';in love'; with her. but then of course maybe it will survive.. depends on how much time you are dealing with.


the best thing i could do is to try being opened to others as well. some succeed some don't, if it is against your moral code don't try it.
