Long Distance relationships can work, but you have to make an effort to actually meet the other person, i don't think they can work if it is totally online. as nice as it is to have someone online, it's not the same as having someone that will hug you when you feel down and wipe away the teas when you are upset. So yes i do think they can work, if you meet up at some point.
Im in a LDR and I tell you its hard as PLATINUM, but very worth it if you guys are good together and work hard at it. Im supposed to move up to the US in the summer for her. We have been speaking now for about 9 months. Elenwen, you wnet there and just stayed or u went back home to collect things and then moved back?
We had to go back to pick my stuff up. Originally I was just going to visit over Christmas break, but then I decided to stay (the whole school thing wasn't working out because of major mental issues and we just clicked, immediately) so we had to go back to the dorm to get my things--quite a long drive just for my junk (Florida to Mississippi)!
I had been dating him online for about four months before I went to visit, and now we've been together over three years. At one point our relationship had to revert to long-distance again (October '08-January '09) because I moved back in with my parents (in Texas) to get treatment, but we managed that too, though it was harder because we had had a "normal" relationship. My relationship with him is really what made me believe in soul mates!
ah! Thats really nice elenwen. I think I believe in that as well but it just gets really stressful sometimes you know. But if it is meant to be, it will be I suppose
I envy some of you...
