i have been in a relationship for a yr and 2 months.. i live in greece and my boyfriend lives in turkey and we see eachother every 1 or 2 months, for a couple of weeks.im 20 and he is 23 and we really care for eachother. the distance is really hard to deal with, but im thinking..is it really that important or is it all just in our head? can we manage to change the way we see and feel about a situation?

Yes, a person can change the way they see or feel about any situation...... it just might be a little harder here, for most people that are in committed relationship like the fact that the other person lives near by - that they can get to them or see them if and when they need.

Hang in there (and) keep on keeping on with the way things are until you two can make a change for the better, as in living arrangements..... for good LoVe is worth fighting for!


LoVe,
Rhapsody - ((( hugs )))

uhm yeah i agree too. .

don't think about the distance. Just think of you r love for each other. Just set it up in ypur mind that you are not apart because you are binded by your love. It is only a psychological matter. When you talk try not to sound as if you are apart. Try to talk as if he is just around your place. . . long-distance relationships

I understand how hard long distance is, and for me it only works if I have the dream of being together someday permantly. Long distance for life is a different story.

My fiancée is a commercial diver and he is away for about three months at a time and then I'll see him maybe for a week or two again.

Love is a choice we make... come hell or high water. Once you make the choice, stick with it. I have wondered many times if I wouldn't be happier with someone closer, but I have decided that he is my everything and I want to be with him no matter what.

If you love him, then you will make it. If you choose to let it work then it will.

hey everyone, thanks for writing to me! i think i agree that its mostly about choices we make, and about letting things work out..so i guess i have to find a way to handle the situation and make it work. im working on that. lately ive met a few people that have similar relationships with me, so that helps me a bit... we'll see how it goes! in the meantime, if thers anyone that has any simialr expirience, or just has anything to say bout these kind of relationships..im all ears long-distance relationships
