Long Distance Relationships?

Question

Any long distancers out there? Tell me your stories!

Here's mine:
My boyfriend and I have been going out for a little over a year now. Mind you, he joined the Marines after 3 months, so I've only seen him a handful of times after that. Right now he's stationed in Washington State for the next 2 years, while I'm going to school in Virginia for the next 3 years. 2,323 miles between us. 
I love him more than anything, but sometimes it can get really rough. Lately we've gotten into the bad habit of fighting which I hate. I'm trying to keep us together, but when he's working 10 hours a day 5 days a week and he's too tired to skype, it hurts. Sometimes all I want is to just hear his voice. (Don't even get me started on the sexual deprivation..😒)
I'm just happy he won't have to deploy for the next 2 years. We hope we'll be able to get married after I graduate school and end the distance between us permanently.

Answer

You guys argue a lot because of the distance. I been with my boyfriend going on 3 years on the 11th of this month and when he's gone for over a week that's when we start arguing a lot

Answer

Dated long distance for two years. The first year we saw each other a total of 30 days. We had phone dates and would rent the same movie and watch it together phone on the phone with each other. We also had notebooks we wrote to each other and then traded when we did get to visit. It's hard but helped us enjoy getting to know each other and work on communicatingh apart from physical closeness clouding our thoughts sometimes. We will be married 5 yrs this June and have a one year ild and one on the way. It's possible but takes work. It's not easy!!

Answer

My husband and I are the product of a long distance relationship. We met one summer when he was visiting his sister in NYC (he's from Ireland). He was finishing school so we spent the first 3 years together going back and forth between Ireland and NYC.

It is not easy. You have to really think about if you can do this. I'm not saying that we never fought in those three years but it was a different type of fighting. You really have to be honest and talk through a lot.

We've been married 6.5 years now and together almost 10. Expecting baby #1 in May. It can work out. Just a lot of work

Answer

My boyfriend and I were long distance, living at other ends of scotland, it can be really difficult but communication is a wonderful thing. 
Today is the day he moves in and it will no longer be counting down days or the weeks sometimes months before I see him again. 
But keep fighting for the love it can get seriously hard but LDR can work out!

Answer

We used to be! We started out talking online, spoke for about eight months. He lived down in the south of the UK and I lived in the Midlands. So I guess it's nothing compared to the U.S., but I don't drive so it was difficult. We met eventually, and I moved in with him a month later. 😂 I dropped everything, quit my job and just left. Best decision I've ever made. We're having a baby any day now!

Answer

Whoa that's a huge gap between you two. You are strong , and that has kept the relationship going. Keep holding on to your love, that's the fuel. Stay strong girl

Answer

My husband is in the army. We have been together 5 years (going on 2 years of marriage) he left for the army right before our 2 year anniversary mark (got engaged on our 2 year anniversary when he was home for Christmas leave during basic ). It's hard and we almost broke up but I moved down after high school and we worked things out got married and it was tough the first year because of all the fighting and issues we had before I moved down but now we are happy and I couldn't imagine my life with out him! I knew from the beginning he was the one. You just have to have faith and if you truly love him and know he's the person you can't live without all the crap that comes from the military and separation will mean nothing in comparison to when he is home! Just enjoy each other when you can and try not fighting over stupid little things and be totally honest if something is bothering you don't let it eat at you say it and get out of your chest!

Answer

All I can say is good luck honestly
