jim_20 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Hey all, Been in a Long Distance realtionship around 2 weeks now. My girlfriend will be home for 6 months of the year and the 6 months she is away we will see eachother for a weekend every two weeks. Do people think this can work?? Just need a bit of confidence and it will be great to hear if some of you are successfull
SophieA Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 I've been in a LDR with my fiance for over a year and a half now. (We were together well over 5 years in the same place before he left) I see him for a few days visit every 8 weeks. We got engaged during one of our recent visits and plan to end our distance in April 2011. LD can make healthy relationships stronger IMO. It can be done! You just have to stay positive and both parties have to invest 110% in the relationship.
Rollercoasterr Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 My husband and I were LD for 2 years before he moved to the US and we got married. We only saw each other every 2 or 3 months. There at the end it got stressful because we were worried about the processing of his visa, but when the day came that he moved down here all those worries faded away and we had a really awesome(almost, stupid minister) wedding. LDRs aren't for everyone, but those who survive them can do anything. It takes 100% love, trust and commitment to make one work. And a lot of creativity to keep things spicy. Good luck!
aerogurl87 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 jim_20 I think your relationship can work with that schedule. My boyfriend and I have been together 8 months, have only seen each other once so far (lasted 2 weeks and that was about 4 months ago) and we're still doing good. Like RC said, if the love, commitment, and trust is there anything is pretty much possible.
LisaLee Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Been together for a year this last August, suppose to end the distance next summer, have seen each other umpteen times, and so far so good but it's been a battle (not with him, just the distance).
LittleTiger Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 We've been together a year. We try to keep our time apart to a maximum of 3 months and we get 3 weeks to a month together each time. It's hell, but it's worth it. A weekend every two weeks sounds great to me. If you love each other and you're prepared to stay committed despite the distance you'll be just fine.
folieadeux Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Your schedule sounds like it'll work out just fine!
Lovin a scrapper Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 I was in an LDR for over two years and she is now living with me since the middle of August. Your schedule is great! I would have given anything to see her that often. Hang in there, communicate often and love her like none other when she is gone just as you would when she is there!!!!
caramelday Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 I've been in one for almost 2 years. Will be 2 years on the 20th, we have not met yet. So....I assume yours can work and will be even better. Good luck.
