hmr44 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Have you had one? Did it work out. Its not a massive distance, but my boyfriend is moving to go to Lincoln university and I'm going to miss him soooo much and he feels the same. I think and hope it'll work out because we both like each other a lot, we've only been going out 3 or 4 months but it feels like forever and we're really good friends too. Anyway - I'll try and make this as unsoppy as I possible can lol. How did you make it work, how often did you see each other etc..... xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I was in Sheffield, my other half was in Leicester, and we had a relationship and it worked out perfectly. Shes now lumbered with me for life! She often tells people that of all the nasty things that can come from a computer, viruses, worms, porn and stuff, I was the very WORST thing that she got! Im still deciding if thats a compliment or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torin8 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I've had four.... all varying distances and they are so hard it hurt. You have to fully trust them and everyone they meet. Usually we met monthly or even every 2-3 months and kept up talking online and on phone. Mine all ended up with a breakup after 1.5 years, the distance was too great and I guess we both ended up living in our own separate worlds. Things I would suggest - call but don't harrass. See eachother on a regular as possible basis and be prepared. It's worked for others, so dont take my bad experience to much to heart. I found someone a lot closer in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal22 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think it can work, 4 months after we met while working at a kids holiday camp me and hotty did long distance for a year. We saw each other every 2 weeks. Wasn't great but it will really make you appreciate the person and make an effort when you see them. We are still together 5 year later. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princess_rockchick Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I did one once, never again. Well not that fair a distance anyway. You gotta be 100% trusting towards them, ignore any thoughts that go through your mind because otherwise it won't work. Mine failed after 8 months. I was so cut and hurt about it, i was only 18 years old at the time, never been in once since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacedoggie Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Don't go a bundle on them anymore. You tend to lose your weekends and that means your friends, and that isn't very healthy. They work for a while, but you have to get under the same roof soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemantined Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 How about 4,000 miles difference???? Well it wasn't easy that's for sure. He' from Barnsley and I am from the US. It was definately not an easy relationship but I am glad we stuck thru it! We have been married for just over 2 years. He lives here in the US and is verry happy here. He gets homesick from time to time but that's to be expected. We try to make it back to Barnsley every year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
