I’m going to be candid: LDR’s are really, really difficult, and not for everyone. That being said, I don’t presume to have all the answers, but here’s what’s worked for me. Commitment: If you’re going to be separated for a long or indefinite amount of time, you need to be very commited from the start. If you’re at all on the fence about it, a casual crush on someone local could be fatal to the relationship. I don’t know about you, but it’s a major turn-on when the person I like is, you know, within 100 miles of myself. Call me kinky. Read More… By Bean-28

If you really love him, there is no point in breaking up. I am in a long distance relationship since 5 years now, and even today I don’t know whether we will be together or not – and if yes, then when? I don’t know. But I am not breaking up. There are tough times in every relationship, tomorrow if you marry someone who becomes a marine or army officer and is deployed at the borders, away from home, and has to stay away from you for months, will you divorce him then?

It takes me a long time to get attached to anyone. Thought it was funny that the one time it does happen, it’s an 8 hour away relationship. Read More… By Jessica Johnson

Oh sweetie – that’s so sad. I feel for you and your heart ache. Options are limited but here’s what I see…Of course the “easiest” solution is to break it off, but you knew that and don’t want that. The good news is he’ll be 18 in a bit over 7 months so that’s not too bad. With the internet and cell phones you could very well keep a long distance relationship especially knowing it is less than a year before you reunite. However, he should be making moves on his end – like getting a job and saving money – so that he can possibly move back and support himself come July.

First you need to figure out if you’re okay with a long distance relationship, i.e. whether you’ll be able to handle the ups and downs that come in its wake. That being said, keeping communication channels open. Thanks to technology, we’ve got the social networking sites watching our backs (no negative connotations! 🙂 ).
