catluvr2 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I've heard too many people saying "oh that never works!!" Well guess what whoever thinks that can kiss my ass because I trust my boyfriend. Just a little info, he's going to college 3 hours away for computer science for 2 and a half years. We're both 22 years old. Anybody here have any successful stories and tell me how you guys are coping/how you guys coped with it????
ladyabstrused Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Each LDR is different from the other. Some people's LDRs don't work, some do. And there is definitely nothing wrong with you trusting your boyfriend since you'd know him better. I think there are a several successful LDRs mentioned on this forum before. A lot of times, it has a lot to do with understanding and proper communication as well as regular physical meetings. Your boyfriend being 3 hours away really sounds not too far at all compared to what I've heard from the other posters here of their distances. Mine was countries apart, a total day/night difference and that was difficult. You're lucky. Glad yours is going good and I hope it will get better with time.
Anusha.me.1996 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Well, I'm 16. I've been in an LDR for about a year before he left me. He lives 1500km away. I went to meet him, and we promised to love each other always. Within a month, he left. This was in April. Never did he contact me again. I'm kind of having suicidal thoughts now. not able to get over it.
amayana Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Hi! My boyfriend was an American exchange student at my university in London, UK and that's how we got to know each other. It turned out that we decided to try a LDR when he went back home last May. And we're still together although 4000 miles and a 6 hour time difference separate us. He went back to his college in the US now and I'll be going back to uni in 2 weeks. It's worked so far because I trust him and he trusts me. And, you are right, if you trust each other and are true to each other it will work. It's 3 hrs. It's not that much. It could be much worse! And apart from that there are so many different ways you can communicate with each other regularly. Never - I repeat - Never listen to people when they shower you with negative comments about this kind of relationship! So many people will say that you're crazy and that it doesn't work but that is not necessarily true. LDRs, especially when one or both are in college, are difficult. I think the main reason why they're so difficult is because there are so many parties and different people. There are temptations but to me they are easy to resist because my boyfriend is the only one for me. I try to control my jealousy and simply trust my boyfriend. I believe it's most often jealousy that destroys those relationships. I hope this helps a little I'm sure you'll be just fine. Don't worry too much.
