Been doing this for 12 years. Sigh.

Long distance is the kind of thing that usually doesn't work, but when it does you have a stronger relationship.
ALankyDean
I did over a year 2200 miles. Didn't work out, but proud of myself for not giving up
Kinkyfuck
And now I feel incredibly alone.... :')
Thoughtmage
Don't worry about it. Everyone feels lonely at certain points. Without it we can't really appreciate being with someone. I think, maybe.

4 years, Finland–Denmark. So many activities and feelings in this which are so relatable... awwwwwww <3

Yeh, he lived on London, and I was in the US. We're married now and finally have all visa stuff worked out. Hallelujah.

I'm angry about the changes in the art this keeps having. Especially in the nose area. I mean hell they just turn into clowns in the middle.

I've been there, and I can testify that if your relationship can outlast the distance, it will outlast anything.

Reading this reminded me of my wife and I. She was in Canada and I was in S.Korea (army). Went a Year like this. (1/2)

orangefrap
We had 2 years together at uni, then 2 years apart (varied: 500 - 3k mi) and now we're married & together. LDR works if your heart is in it!
Logeon
Well, you also started in-person, I find that changes things a bit.

My marriage began as a long distance relationship. It does work sometimes. 4 years and counting!

Jeezus, now I feel bad for stressing over my LDR that's only an hour apart. :x Still hurts when I can't see her as much as I wish.
Tundra314
This is how I felt when my friend complained about his hour distance when I said I had to wait for a 12 plane ride. But it all adds up, 1/?
Tundra314
I'm sure u spend $ on gas, time, travel expenses to try and see each other often.
strawberrycocoa
Yeah, gas costs

Pile up, but it's worth it
Adrilidexus
Can someone explain the Togekiss reference, I'm stupid

If my juvenile humour senses are correct, it's white and kinda drop shaped, so: it looks like cum.
whulfy
Been in several. If you think it's worth it, then it is.
YukonBambi
If you've been in several it probably has something to do with real life communication issues you must have
GulcasaOfTheSnowfall
Had several, can agree; however, it's also exponentially easier to find people that match your tastes online than locally, esp. small towns
JustWatcher
Its true to a degree. But only to a degree.
ImSumWhatNaked
Damn son your sneak attack was a critical hit
CustardFaceKid

Being gay in a predominantly Muslim country 20 years ago kinda limits dating options. I'm now staying with my partner of 5 years that 1/2
whulfy
began as a long distance relationship, so it will work out if you try. 2/2
Waander37
That's why mine failed to be honest. I was on with not communicating quite as often, she wasn't. I learned from it. Sucked I had to lose her
Waander37
Ok with not communicating*
imachikenlol
I hate to say it but that's on you. It depends on how often but if you're not willing to take a day out of the week to chat.. It aint right
Waander37
Yeah it wasn't that, it was she needed like constant communication. Like texts every 10-15 minutes. I was also rather stoic so that's why.
imachikenlol
Oh jeeze sounds shitty, maybe she'll be better with it later on, give her a change if you think she's better with communication
KungPowDicken
If you find the right one it's worth it. 5 years and 1300 miles away, for my relationship. I'm going to marry this person next year.
fdtudkfjdhkfd
What do you do if he died? Please tell me what to do now I can't do this.
author365
There will be a time, not soon, but sooner than you think, when the good memories outweigh the bad feelings. He would want you to fight.
andthenwhatdoiknowaboutdiamonds
So sorry. Counseling. You need help. Talk to someone. Reach out. You're not alone even though it feels like it.
Harvestkitten
I also read your bio. I'm so sorry, I know you are hurting. If you ever want to talk please message me. Take care of yourself.
Empurpled
Read your bio. And comments. So very sorry.
kahtq92
You will be strong and keep going. You have to live without him and that hurts. Ever so much. I know. Live without him but live *for* him.
broomint
I know it looks dark, and you're in pain, but know that one day this will be the past, it'll be better. Please let yourself be taken care of
BelveritArchery
I was in a distance relationship for four years. It was good, but the break up is what hurts the most.
GwyeneveretheRed
Me and my boyfriend were apart for 8 years of our relationship. It was hard, and we couldn't move closer because of school but we live 1/2

together now and I wouldn't trade it for the world. 2/2

I have been in a long distance for three years now, met in a video game. Last night was our last night on skype. Moving in together. <3 (1)

(2) I know the tears of happiness and sadness alike. The sweet messages and the loneliness. But if you think it is worth it, then it is.
RoughBacon
Only about 300 miles for us. That's a 5 hour round trip twice a month because I can't go longer than two weeks without kissing her.
Fleurdevie
Oh god, I'm sad. If only I could see my SO that often. America<>Denmark. I probably won't get to see him more than once or twice per year :(
FemaleINTJ
It was about 190 for us and I did that drive every other week for 6 years. Worth it to have him here now.
IBegToDiffer
So... is it common nowadays for relationships to be virtual at first?
IBegToDiffer
I have a friend "dating" a guy she's never met irl from India. We're in the US? Is this legit?
CuddleMonsterWithKnives
Yes. It's not always common, but it can definately be as real as the couple makes it!
changingmynamerealquick
I'm "dating" a guy I met in a game server and it's been a year so far. We're actually meeting two weekends from now. It can be legitimate if
changingmynamerealquick
you work to make it legitimate. It's a lot of patience, and determination, but It's a bond stronger than any other I've ever experienced.
Tundra314
We met through a game too! Haha
nerdynightowl
So did my boyfriend and I!!!!
JPBStory
Dunno about common but I'd say it's at the level where nearly everyone knows someone who's done it. It's not that weird any more.
JPBStory
(Though I concede it will always be kind of weird...not that weird is bad)
Tundra314
I was in this for a whole year. 6,000 miles away. And now we live together. It's worth the wait :)

Same here. Been together three years. He's the light of my life!

I don't know, but we're sharing this boat, wherever it's going... :c

To be fair, LDR isn't for everyone. And u take a risk with ppl like any1. Sometimes it doesn't work but u gain something about urself 4rm it

Aww dude, that makes me sad-happy :,)

I was in Houston my husband in Jordan. We've been married 9.5 years. Totally worth the 2.5 yr wait.

TuckerTheGuy
6,000? I lived in Huntington Beach, CA. She lived in India. 10 months it took me to save enough for a plane ticket in high school. Worth it.
TuckerTheGuy
I married her and we have two beautiful kids.
RevolutionOnHerLips
Are you living together now? Did she move to the USA or did you move to India, or...?
Tundra314
Well he said he married and had 2 kids so I would think they live together:) or so hope!
TuckerTheGuy
It's long and complicated, but yes, we live together in India now. I'm an expat.
RevolutionOnHerLips
That's really interesting! Thanks for the reply.
IHaveTheAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverything
I was apart from my husband for two years. Roughly 6000 miles as well. Now we have a house and a doggie <3 So worth the wait 1/2
IHaveTheAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverything
2/2 Reading this made me cry though.. The pain of leaving him at an airport still stings. And the deep depression I fell into after he left.
Tundra314
This happened to me too :(. We also have a doggy now <3
IHaveTheAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverything
Aww how nice <3 what kind of dogge?

It isn't easy. And it isn't for everyone. The distance is really hard, but it's not permanent. I hope it goes well or gets easier for u

I'm in a 1000 mile LDR as well. Meeting the gal was to this day the most nerve wracking thing I've ever done, but hey, high risk high reward

Angelochik12
I get you. It was so hard to not see mine for months and months... when he came we forgot all about the distance. It's totally worth it :)
gx67
I was in one for 2.5 years, 2000 miles apart. It was worth every second, every dollar, every mile. No longer together, but no regrets.
LifeGivingPickles
I believe it. Seeing mine of 1,5 years and 1500km again tomorrow after 4 months since the last time!

The problem is that you invest time into a fantasy relationship and end up passing up the real opportunities that are right in front of you.
translocated
Sounds like you're bitter about something
ProfessorBlackHole
Dating online is a fantasy? Are they not real people with real feelings and thoughts? Can they not find a connection with another person?

I don't think just because it's long distance makes it any less real
