Long Distance Relationships
Are you in one? If so, where is your boy or girlfriend? How long have you two been long distance for? Is it working well so far?
My boyfriend and I have been separated for 3 months. He's currently living in res at UWaterloo. So far it's not too bad.... it does get frustrating sometimes when we argue on the phone. But yea... it's working better than I thought it would at least.

Soooo.. unless you're up for a lot of comprimise (and even then it may not work) you have a difficult road ahead of you :/ Good Luck, wish you the best.
Personally I like a little time apart from my boyfriend (we live together), but only short bursts... and not too far. ;) It seems to make the relationship really awesome for sometime after!
So you may start at the same point but one party may lose it a lot quicker than the other. It's a case by case situation but it's not easy! Visiting often and reaffirming the 3 variables constantly would probably be the best remedy.
Girlfriend now has been away from me for 6 months now ... argh she's supposed to come back soon. Don't have a long distance relationship if need be!
I agree with someone above though, if you are apart a short while and come back together, and then go apart again it makes the relationship stronger. I know my current one has become stronger because of this. Sounds strange? But its true.
Does anyone here have something positive and bright to say?
theoretically you should have less arguements. cuz the little time you do get to see eachother you will bicker less and compromise more. and you wont be speaking your mind so much either. i guess that can be a good thing.
until the whole 'best behavior' thing wears off where you two find out that you really arent compatible. in which case you will argue about why you're bringing up the current topic of disagreement now when the other person did the exact same thing before and you just kept quiet.
whoops...it's supposed to be positives right? uhm... yes as mentioned, the sex is good. unless he sucks but you dont want to say cuz you're on ur best behavior...uh-oh...i did it again. lol
but yah there have been some rough times but still every year, eventhough we r apart it seems that everyyear we get closer to each other...
its rly true Long distance relationships are very hard but i just want to say that they r possible if its rly ment to be...:)
I'm also in a long distance relationship too and although things are difficult at times, it's definately all worth it! Distance makes the heart grow fonder ;)
