trail_blazers_7 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I don't know how relevant this post is, but it's something I would like to share with everyone. I started dating the most beautiful and caring girl i've ever met back in june. we had both just gotten out of long-term emotionally damaging relationships. the funny thing is neither of us were looking for a relationship at that point. but when our first date ended after 18 hours, we both knew we had something special. our relationship has been perfect since then, we fight occasionally, but who doesn't? In November 2009 we both were thrown a curve ball that would test the strength of our love for each other. I had been living in Salt Lake City for 3 years for school, I needed to transfer to a different school so I could finish my degree. I ended up moving home to Oregon in early December and she wont be able to move to Oregon to be with me until this August. Moving and having to leave your love behind is quite possibly one of the most painful things ever. I visited her over this last weekend and got home last night, seeing her again made me the happiest i have ever been, bar none. as we said our goodbyes at the airport we realized that the geographical distance between us was only making us emotionally closer. LDR's aren't for everyone, but with the right mindset and a great deal of trust between you and your partner, they can be really incredible for making you realize just how important they are to you. I'm going to go back to booking a flight for next month to see her!!
zebracolors Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Well said Trail. Glad to see another example of a LDR that is thriving. I'm in one myself and this helps alot reading this.
Flavour Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Thank you!| I put some of your words in the "encouragement "thread-I needed this :-)
Lizzie60 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 When in a LDR .. if you're separated only for a few months... that's OK.. but when it's a LTR-LDR... no way... the distance makes it impossible to work out..

I don't agree. But that's all I'll say. I find it's usually a useless battle trying to tell someone something when they've convinced themselves otherwise. LDR's of all lengths and distances CAN work out. It just all depends on the type of person going into one.
