tears...

[ON MY OWN]

Can someone please tell me a good way to work out a LDR when you live around an hour and 15 away and it seems like all the odds are working against the both of you and you really want to be together? Any suggestions on additional things one can do? We have talked about public transportation, web cam, etc...

I dont want to be pessimistic, but we have known each other 20 years and I am scared to death already, not of him hurting me but of him slipping through my fingers. We say we wont tire of it but I am afraid that it will just get to be too much, as we are only human and I know of basic human needs. Oh and btw, this is definitely the man I want to be with, I know this in my heart. Part of it is I guess I am used to everything slipping through my fingers. I really want to be with him. The question isnt IF we should it is if there are any tips, suggestions or stories of inspiration on this anyone would be kind enough to share with me to lift up my spirits about our situation. I know we wont live this far forever and work schedules may not help matters either, I am goin to be starting work within a week or two it looks like. I was hurt before in the past and didnt expect this and I know a feeling like this doesnt come around every day and not even in some peoples lifetimes and want to make sure I nurture this enough so it lasts, I really love him and want to see this move forward.

Thank you in advance and the best of luck to you in life and in love...

For one...skype helps.

 

Two, don't let him see you like this. It will make him think it won't work.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but lemme put it this way, I was in your situation just a week ago and compared to how far south things have gone with me now, I would LOVE to be back in that situation.

See the thread I started if you wanna know what happens next...

 

Then again, you guys are much older. So I am positive your relationship will fair far better than mine. Its only an hour and fifteen minutes away, so keep your chin up. In your case, I think this may even be a good thing. Absence does make the heart grow fonder...if the heart is strong that is.

Thank you so much and I am sorry to hear about your situation, and I very much appreciate your input and wish you only the best. We are looking into skype as well as other avenues through investigating on LDR's online for ideas and have already been coming up with other stuff as well...goin to always have good and bad days and thanks for the "keep your chin up", and you do too!
