Any advice for a long-distance relationship?

My girlfriend and I are about to enter a five year period of long distance relationship. I'm going to college this year and she's leaving next year. Yes, we're very young, but we're also very much in love and we are going to work as hard as humanly possible (and harder if need be) to keep this going. We know it'll be hard, but we are very optimistic about it. We've agreed that if we get through these five years we'll spend maybe half a year together and then think about getting married. Does anybody have any tips or advice for us? Do you think our long-term plan is reasonable? Thanks a lot!Any advice for a long-distance relationship?
It really depends on how long you two have been together now. before the two of you go your ways how long were you together in the same area? I believe that anything is possible and having a possitive attitude will make this easy . If you start doubting that it wont work then you guys will have many problems. Do you fully trust each other?? Trust is the main thing in an LDR. if you cant trust the other person to be faithful then your relationship might as well end now because it will drive you both crazy. If you have love for each other and can handle the ups and downs of a local relationship then an LDR will not harm it but make it stronger in the sense that this is the big test in weather or not it will last. Remember keep your head up and if issues pop up always stop to think first before reacting and it will work for the both of you. It takes two so make sure she is in it 100% as well as you. IF only one is working to keep it alive then it will fail as well. Write, call and if it is possible to visit each other for like holidays and such then do that as well. Best luck to you both :)Any advice for a long-distance relationship?
advice: breakup or get married now
I would suggested waiting longer for marriage. no need to rush, the commitment of just being together should be enough. also, when you guys leave for college a huge part of it is learning to fend for yourselves, so I also suggested you both having separate places for a while before each of you are self-sufficient. then maybe move in together if things are working out.


A HUGE help for my longdistance relationship when it was longdistance is skype.com, if you guys have webcams it is really nice to be able to see eachother and it's also a speaker thing so it's pretty close to being in person. it helps.

Need some advice with my long distance relationship.?

I have a boyfriend in the Navy who has been gone for a month so far; he's signed on for 6 years. We've been together for a year and a half and I knew from the beginning that he'd be leaving. For some reason I didn't think it would be as hard as it has been when I told him I'd wait for him. I feel terrible about this because we love each other very much but I'm afraid that the distance is going to be too much for me. I'm just not happy with it being this way. I also met this really amazing older guy recently who isn't making this situation any easier because he is just so wonderful. I just need some advice on what I should do.Need some advice with my long distance relationship.?
stay with the NAVY guy plzplzplz. stay away from the older guy.the navy guy likes u prolly more than u like him, stick with him. trust me. help http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>Need some advice with my long distance relationship.?
Well this is a hard one. Your actualy bf could be THE one...but long distance relationships are very hard and take more committment than we want to. The easy way out is breaking up with him and date this other great guy...although you don麓t know if this great guy still might be worth leaving your bf. It麓s all a risk, and I know how complicated it must be. I麓ve been there. But because this is about love, you must stay with the person you love right now, not the one who麓s making you have butterflies. Because love is deeper than butterflies in your stomach.


But if you believe truthfully in your heart that it won麓t work (not that it麓s hard because any relationship is hard) then leave your bf because you might actually be doing something good for him too, to find someone else...


As long as you decide something out of your good heart, things will work out for you...because if you were in the navy away loving and missing your bf and he麓d be here asking for advice on whether to saty with you or an amazing girl he met...well, just think about it.
6 years is a long time to wait on someone. A lot can change. You 2 would probably change, certainly being in the navy would change him, and you're not in contact that much to change and grow together. You would also find u would start drifting apart as your life would go on, you would have so many experiences without him.





I was in the same situation some years ago when my bf went away to study- also for 6 years. I met someone else after a few months and broke up with him. He was very hurt but I just could not wait for him that long.





I can understand your stress right now. And imagine its only a month. As heartbreaking as it may be for the 2 of you it might be better to break up with him. All the best!
if you truly love your boyfriend you would wait for him no matter what even if it seems hard. but if you dont think that the relationship is going to last w/your boyfriend anyways you shouldnt put yourself through the pain of waiting for him and then breaking up with him. go for the older guy if thats how you truly feel.
I think the best thing for you to do is to listen to your heart, but to also sit down or have a talk with your bf in the Navy. You've told him that you would wait for him and its important for him to know how you are feeling. Its gana be hard to tell him and its gana be hard for him to hear, but if he really cares about you then he would let you do what makes you happy and not make you feel bad about it;-)


i mean it better to tell your bf now how you feel then to go out with this other guy and feel guilty because you were supposed to be waiting for your bf in the Navy
this is a difficult one because like you say you knew this would happen eventually, but I don't think we ever fully prepare ourselves for it. I would say that you musn't do anything with thisolder guy until you sort it out with your boyfriend, that would just be plain deceitful and hurtful. If your struggling now imagine enduring 6yrs of this? you need to think about wether you love him enough to be apart from him for long periods without straying. Good Luck!!

Okay well i really love this girl who is from Texas, US and i am from India (the country not the state Indiana). She is 15 and i turned 19 on 4th October. We love each other a lot and we are really really REALLY compatible. We are just so very happy with each other since we've met it's like everything is so perfect.





The fact that i love her so very much also worries me that i might lose her some day. She is 15 and by the time she will turn 18 a lot of boys will hit on her there ( yes she is beautiful) and smart guys too. I trust her and i know she loves me a lot but i am just worried that later the fact that i live so far away could make things go wrong? I love her a lot and i cant afford to lose her.





Should i be worrying? Or do you have any advice as to how to keep things really strong and unbreakable between us two so that no one might ever be able to come between us no matter if i live half way across the world? I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.





Thanks! 10 points waiting!!Need some advice for a Long Distance Relationship.Please see?
well, the fact you are asking this really shows you care alot for her i know how it feels to be in love allz i can say is to tell her exactly how u feel pour your heart out to her and make sure its the real way you feel and age has nothing to do with it sure it will play a factor for some people but love comes in all different kinds, so to answer ur question you should definately consider meeting her at least once bcuz that could make all the difference but if its love she will wait on you for sure hope this helped. :]Need some advice for a Long Distance Relationship.Please see?
It won't work. She is only a kid. Kids change bf often. Get own with your life and get your education and and an older lady.
Well first of all, there's no magic number her in the states when guys start hitting on her.





If she's as beautiful as you say, they're probably hitting on her right now.





The only way long distance relationships have ever worked for me is if I knew I was eventually going to be with them, (eventually by a year or so).





If you don't know when you can be with her, then honestly I don't know if a LDR is a good thing for you two, especially since you're both so young, but if there's a way you can get there and be with her, then just hang on.

    well me and him were together for a long time when we was in both in new orleans. and then the storm hit and we both moved. well we took a break and now we are back together. and sometimes i just have a feeling that he is doing something. i mean i am as faithful as anyone can be. i mean i only talk to a few close guy friends. but nothing serious. and he cheated on me once and to get even i did it back. but i mean do i believe him and try to make things work or should i cut it off and wait until we both move back this summer. pleasr help me. i really need advice. i just dont know what to do anymore. i love him soo much. but i dont want to get played like a fool!!!!Any advice for a long distance relationship. help please.?
    It's very difficult to maintain a relationship over distance. Believe me, I've tried. Relationships need to be nurtured, and it's hard to do that through phone calls and email.





    You could try to keep it going and wait until summer (it's not very long away), but my suggestion would be to take another break, then see how you feel about each other when you get back together.Any advice for a long distance relationship. help please.?
    number one, he cheated before, doesnt mean he isnt thinking about if not already done it again. Number two you cheated back, whether it was just payback or not, obviously you didnt care too much (at that time maybe not and maybe now you do BUT) the fact remains, you dont trust him. Give it a little longer, and if you find more and more that you just CANNOT trust him, then move on.
    Just follow your heart that is all I can say.





    Here is how sit in a quiet room tink about him and ask yourself ?'s like is he going to be their for me? Is he the ONE? thins like that DONT let your mind anser them like you want them to be answerd let your heart do the talking for once if that makes senc.
    well you never know what might happen with his feelings if you cut if off till summer...maybe you should talk to him about it and then see how you feel when you move back this summer...if you both have to cheat on each other just to make it even..maybe thats not a true relationship
    If you love him it will be hard to let go. Just tell him. ';You know you have my heart. But if i'm not the only one who has your heart I think we should take a break for a while';. Cheating to get back him really isn't a good idea though. That dosen't make you any better.
    If you ';love'; him, why did you cheat to get even. There is no getting even you just demean yourself. My thoughts are that you two are done and just don't know it yet.
    You definitely have trust issues. What do you mean by I'm as faithful as anyone can be. You don't need to be in a relationship with him. Find someone who is close to you. Good Luck.
    here is a song for you

    Youre already being played. He cheated on you and you forgave him. Thats a free pass for him to do it again. THere are too many good men out there to waste time on a man you cant trust 100%
    As much as you may love him, you will always have trust issues, especially with the distance. You need to respect yourself and move on.
    You have an unhealthy relationship with this person. If it continues, then I'm afraid you are a fool and will be played like one.
    You both need to mature. Get on with your life--if it's meant to be--then, o.k.
    Playing games with one another's emotions, trying to get even, makes people look like a fool. He already CHEATED ON YOU so the truth is, if you really meant to him what he meant to you, than he wouldn't have cheated in the first place. Have more respect for yourself and be with someone who is going to love you enough not to have sex with someone else because of a storm. If you really want to be with him, take it slow and let things happen on their own. If you are forcing things, it will only make you frustrated and angry. Take a step back and let him come to you, don't be the one that looks desperate and chasing him all through New Orleans. Have some self dignity girl!
    Why don't you open up the relationship and stop this commitment stuff with cheating and crap. Seriously, a relationship is much better when you can see other people. All you have to worry about then is being safe. I mean, your situation really sounds like a very immature and unhealthy one.





    Anyhow, as I always said, ';I ain't committed to nobody until there's a ring on this finger.'; and neither should he be.





    I hate when a guy tries to act like I can only be with him, but then shies away from talk of real life commitment (MARRIAGE), but besides that, it takes years to truly get to know someone. I mean, I want to see how the person changes and stuff.





    These people out there with abandonment and trust issues (YOU) will never be happy in a relationship until you learn how to deal with it. I can't believe how some try to cut me off from all other males, completely. One, was even jealous of my cat.


    That's stupid and immature behavior that I will not feed into... ';GET EVEN';, you're a sick sick woman.

    Need advice regarding my long distance relationship?

    My boyfriend is in school five hours away. The first semester that he was there, he hadn't made any friends and we were talking every night. Now he has made all these new friends, and most of these friends are girls. and they are single. He is a friendly guy, definitely not a player. So please dont leave responses saying he is. Anyway, he is going out to bars, people's apartments, barbecues, etc and this is starting to stress me out. I feel like it will just be more convenient for him to meet someone up there. I dont know if i should break up or how i should cope with these. Any ideas? thanks!Need advice regarding my long distance relationship?
    well if you both agree then go for it. but i'm sure if he felt that he wanted to break up with he would've told u that.Need advice regarding my long distance relationship?
    well im in a long distance relationship and my girlfriend told me that she was scared that someone would end up taking me


    well i told her that i would never go out or do anything with my Friends i would stay home to talk to her


    but for your case if he is coming less and less tell him how u feel


    and that u r worried..if u do want to break up tell him why
    First off a long distant relationship will not work. There are exceptions. But, for most it will not work....That's the reality of it. Can't be changed.


    Now you two should have agreed that while he is away at school, you two are on your own. Not committed. You can always pick it up again when he is done with his studies. That will alleviate allot of stress on your part knowing that he is not doing anything behind your back. You are going to have to get over it. Because he is going to do all the normal things men do when they are away at school. He is no different


    than anyone else. And yes that would be more convenient for him to meet someone there. If he wants to.


    You too can meet someone else more convenient. Talk to him about it. he might just agree and you two can keep on being friends.
    Go visit him at school and meet these people. Either you will see theres nothing to worry about, or you will realize your relationship is drifting apart. At the very least, most girls who would've gone after him will stop once they meet you (its hard to go after a guy whose gf you've met in person, especially if she's sweet and nice).
    I'm a man, and I can only tell you how I would prefer it so that both of us would enjoy it.





    I never had a long distance relationship, but I think I would allow you to engage with closer (short-time) relationships with other men, to let you satisfy your physical needs. While some men would require you to report on such interactions, other would prefer total silence.





    It is possible to have a boyfriend, who uses those other females just to live out his physical needs.

    Need advice on a long distance relationship, complicated relationship?

    In my summer vacation I asked out a girl that i met. The day I asked her out we spend all night talking. After that she went back to her home town. My vacation days were limited and I saw her twice after that day when I asked her out. I live in US and she lives in Turkey. I love her so so much and she says she loves me to. We planed that I will go back there and stay there for the whole summer (around 3 months) and we will spend every minute together. I couldn't even kiss this girl yet. We had a fight and she said ';don't call me anymore, I don't want to talk to you anymore'; We had fights but we came over them but this was big because after that statement she made she never answered my calls or text for 3 weeks, except yesterday she send me a text saying ';you really hurt my feelings'; and stop talking again. I really love her.Should i keep calling her and try to get back her heart? The fight was so little, but she made it really big, so do you think she doesn't love me anymore?Need advice on a long distance relationship, complicated relationship?
    i am a girl and sometimes we have a tendency to over exaggerate fights. you just need to tell her that you didnt meant to hurt her in any way and just tell her your true feelings. if i were her i would be flattered to know that my boyfriend went on a website to try to find out how to stay together. on the other hand, this is a very special circumstance since you live extremely far away. if you truly do love each other than nothing can stop that..but if you just felt like flirting with someone on your vacation (which it doesnt seem like) and you only like her because she is pretty and she is from another country then it wont work out and you should probably stop leading her on. dont let a silly fight get in the way of your love though! i hope this helped!!Need advice on a long distance relationship, complicated relationship?
    When I was in a long distant relationship, we fought about everything and broke up a million times and I believe it was because of the distance. When you can't see that person for a long period of time. It makes you forget why you loved them in the first place. But after you reunite, you remember why, and then it seems worth it. But most times the relationships don't last that long.. I'm sorry to say..
    u didnt mentioned that what was that fight for. but if its not a big deal, I think u can wait 2 to 3 days without any contact (no calls, no text nothing) after sending a text as '; I am really sorry if i hurt u. I can wait for u to calm. I am waiting for u.';


    Just give her a time to think about it. if she really loves u, c will come back to u, suppose u didnt do any unforgivable .
    Just keep saying you are sorry and say nice stuff like you cant stand a minute without talking to her. eventually she'll come around, that is if she doesn't have anybody else, but if she doesn't she'll come around cuz women love it when we talk sweet to them.
    i think anything good does not come easy. you are going to get a verity of answers with a question like this. you have to go with your first choice. dont listen to anyone else,long distance relationships are diffuicult so dont think what you are going through is not normal.
    I'm in a LDR my self and i know when people get mad over little things it just that the distance is getting to them so they get mad at you over the littlest thing jut keep trying to make it work with her.specially if you love her
    She still loves you and just give her some time. We girls are sensitive, sometimes little fights are like a nuclear bomb to us, so give her some time and apologize to her. Good luck!
    Give up on the relationship...it seriously isn't worth it.

    Advice on a long distance relationship?

    I go on quizilla all the time, and I created this quiz for whether or not I would date someone since everybody has one. No one ever responds to them, but then I get a message from this cute guy in the south. He and I are really good friends and he flirts a lot with me, and I know he likes me cause he admitted it, and I did the same. Should I start the relationship with him? I am also not really aloud to date so I keep this a secret, will that work? (PS: he's in Alabama while I'm in New Jersey)Advice on a long distance relationship?
    Sometimes long distance relationship wouldn't just work. Anyway, just keep in touch with all means.Advice on a long distance relationship?
    Really long distance relationships is really different from person to person, between someone it absolutely doesnt work and between others its the best thing that ever happened to them.





    One of my friends had a long distance relationship to this guy in spain while she was in norway, they kept their relationship for two years without seeing eachother and now they are gonna marry this summer.





    So i wish you guys good luck
    I don't think a long distance relationship is a good idea if you've never seen this person. He might not even be from Alabama for all you know. If this guy is lying to you, and you guys started a relationship, most likely you would want to meet in the future; that would be very dangerous. Try putting yourself out there for the people around your area more just for your own safety :) Good luck!
    good luck with it my best advice is hope for the best but expect the worst remember you guys are miles away and cant see eye to eye and there would be the issues of honesty and trust. I just got out of a long distance relationship where it hurt real bad because it was is to lie and love hide the lies my relationship was almost 2 years
    You're not really aloud to date, so stop right now. That really cute guy from the South is probably a 45 year old bald, fat , pervert who is HOPING you will keep it a secret. GET YOUR BUNS OFF THE internet and meet a REAL LIVE PERSON from your own town.
