How do I deal with relationship problems within a long distance relationship?

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for over a year, however, we've never met. Although that seems crazy, for those who have been in that situation know that if you find the one you fall in love with, the distance dosent seem to bad. I've delt with the distance for this long, but due to the fact me and my girlfriend have been through alot of issues in our relationship lately, I'm starting to reach my breaking point. It hurts when you cant hold them and comfort them when they need it most, and you fear they may find someone who can, despite the fact they love you. I personally have been going through emotional issues my entire life, and have finally accepted that and am currently seeking therapy. But as many people in long distance relationships would agree, the best therapy for me right now would be to just hold her and tell her i love her/ Unfortunately 1,306 miles away, and with her parents starting to dislike my family, that's simply not possible right now.





I continually tell my parents I wont be okay until I get a hug from her, that's all i really want in life anymore. I guess all I'm asking for is not only help with coping with this right now, but somehow, some way I can get my parents to realize that I NEED to visit her, before I go crazy..





Just for additional information, I've thought up many plans on how to see her, unfortunately they are all Illegal and I will not act upon them...but please, somebody tell me what to do?How do I deal with relationship problems within a long distance relationship?
My boyfriend and i are also long distance (5000 miles) and met over the internet (i'm assuming the same with you since you said you've never met?) and have been together for a year and a half. But we go through the same thing you are when we get into arguments or when each of us go through hard time; we just want to be with each other so we can cuddle and comfort each other. But we can't hug or kiss and cuddle or even hold hands, we have to find other ways to comfort each other. We have our nights where we just stay up all night and talk about us and our relationship and how much and why we love each other. It just puts us in this bliss and it's a warmth that instantly washes over us because it's seems like we're the only people in the world. It really helps if you two can just talk for a while about your relationship and have those loey dovey moments.





As for your parents... Obviously you're under 18, so there's not a whole lot you can do to make them let you go see her. But try to talk to them, rationally and seriously, and explain where you're coming from and how much you need to see her. If they don't go for it, don't get mad...prove to them you can be mature and accept their answer. Wait a while and then try again with the same approach. It worked great on my mom.





I hope this helps, i know it can be really hard. If you want to talk more or need more advice or anything, you can email me -- courtneystille_21@hotmail.com





Best of luck :)How do I deal with relationship problems within a long distance relationship?
Speaking as someone who's been in a long-distance relationship and therapy simultaneously...focus on the formal therapy. Assuming this girl does turn out to be everything you've dreamed she is (and like it or not, that remains an assumption until you actually meet her in person), having to go home will just be that much worse. You need to be strong enough to stand on your own no matter what happens before you take that step.
Long distance relationships dont work.... proven.





Cut the losses and be net friends but she needs more than a net


and it cant be fulfilled over the net. or phone.








human nature and good psychological health.

I think your ages play a big factor in this. Not knowing how old you both are makes it difficult to advise. However I think you can only continue a relationship like this if you eventually get together. It is unrealistic to think this will continue for years unless you actually physically meet. If you are old enough to go and see her just make arrangements and do it. If you are too young then I suppose your parents have a lot to say regarding this situation. All the best and be real.
