I’m in Oregon for a summer job and she’s all the way in Michigan. We started dating a week before I moved and have managed to skype and talk on the phone almost every night… until she broke my heart and told me she wasn’t strong enough for the distance. I’ll be home in a month and for the past couple weeks haven’t thought about anything or anyone else but her. I love her and I hope she still loves me when I return…

I honestly never thought I would be in a situation like this I’m from California and she is from Indiana. It’s so hard to be away from her when all I want to do is be with her. I really hate having to see her face on the computer screen and not be able to kiss her. But we know that it is with one an other that we want to be with. And even though it hurts this relationship is completely worth it

I just now read all of these comments…the person who made me stop being cynical and believe in love lives in NYC. Im in Huntington Beach, Ca. We met during a writing program in Paris and he stole away all my pain and doubt, but most of all he tore the walls down around my over-protected heart. I have never loved anyone like I love him. He said “I’m falling in love with you” only after 3 weeks in france. I responded with, “you should not say that if you do not mean it,” only because I was so afraid it wasn’t true. The morning he walked out my door and hopped on a plane back to NYC, I realized that I was in love with him too. Instead of chasing after him, I cried in my room till I had to go. 5 months of disconnected communication and broken hearts, I met him in NYC and told him how I felt. We did not try the distance, we do not talk to each other anymore, and I love him more than I did 8 months ago and I know he loved me too. I know how everyone feels and like everyone, I do not know what to do.

My boyfriend went to college 8 hours away and we have lasted 3 years and still going strong. It’s the hardest thing that I have done, but it’s made us stronger.

I live 1000 miles away from the man I love. I am from an urban town and him from farmland. I know one day we’re going to be together and from that day forth never part. And that’s what gives me hope.

I’m right there with you, Natz. My fiance is in Scotland and I’m in America. But all will work out. Distance is just a number. If you talk to them everyday, hold no secrets, and just remind each other everyday that you love each other everything will work out. It’s corny, but if it’s meant to be NOTHING will stop it – I’m living proof

I thought of my mom and dad when I saw this. I thought how he’s in North Carolina and we’re here in Georgia.
Because my mom made a decision, and is now regretting it more than ever.
It’s been 5 years, and she’s still praying.

This shouldn’t be a secret.
Tell them how you feel.

sigh… i was the one who left for college. We’d been together for all of high school, we thought we were forever. i only moved an hour’s flight away, but he wasn’t strong enough. I really thought it was going to work but we barely lasted a month long distance. it still hurts

We both left the home we lived in for 2 years together to follow our dreams. I’m in South Carolina and he is in Ohio. Neither one of us is willing to make a sacrifice for each other. Neither one will leave. The hardest part now is that he won’t let me go. Everything just seems…stuck.

My husband is from Jamaica and I am in NJ. Waiting for his visa for 1 1/2 years was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but man, did it make for some HOT romance when I visited every 2 months. It really showed us how much we were willing to go through to be together.

wow i really could relate to this one. i liked it a lot. my boyfriends in new hampshire and im in alaska. sometimes i think he never cares about how hard it is for me and makes no effort in trying to convince me otherwise but for me hes worth waiting for. i just hope he feels the same way… everyone in a long distance relationship stay strong! you will have a great feeling of accomplishment and it will give a brand new appreciation and respect for dating. at the end hopefully the wait will be well worth!

I’m in Finland now, he’s in the Netherlands. In three weeks I’m moving to Scotland as moving in with him in the Netherlands didn’t work out for financial reasons. It’s okay though, I’ll be closer to him and we’ll have more money so we can see each more often. We’ve been like this for three years and I can’t imagine my life without him. We’re meant to be and we’ll work it out. Even though it hurts like hell to be apart, it would hurt much, much more if I gave up on this. I don’t want that and I never will.

I am in Ontario. My best friend in the entire world went to Spain for an exchange program–I never thought I’d survive without her, but I did.
My (ex)boyfriend went to AUS– I never thought I’d survive without him, but I did.
People may be at an unobtainable distance, they may come back, they may not, they may change, they may be the exact same. It’s a risk you take to live your life.

yes its hard.. i went to El salvador for 5 months and my boyfriend stayed in Cali….. i left for some very personal family reasons…. and my boyfriend supported me all the way we had only been together bout 10months, he tried to call me alot we did web cam and just tried to have alot of communication .. it was the hardest thing i ever had to do… fights were common cause of the distance and there were some problems that caused a breakup for a week but we realized we LOVE eacother we got bak together, i was havin a hard time gettin bak to the states didnt qute have the money for my ticket.. he paid for it.. and we are together again.. and im the happiest person right now.. and now we have been together 1yr and 4months and we are plannin a wedding

I know how you feel. I’m in Philly and he’ll be in North Carolina for the next 2 years. But it’s important to not force it when it’s not forever. I tried that once with someone else and came to that realization a year too late. This time it’s real and it’s forever.

I hung out with a guy off and on for almost 2 years and only dated him when we were both back home. We are now dating officially and I have never been happier, I miss him a lot but choosing to date him has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. He is in the Coast Guard and is out to sea every 3 months with no cell service and only email.

It can work.

Met in Vernon, BC two years ago. Didn’t realise I was in love with her until last year when I went to visit her. She told me she was in love with me when I told her I was enlisting in the army, and now I realise that chances are it won’t work. We only live a province away, but her life is where she is, and my life is where I am. I could never move to be with her, and I could never ask her to move to be with me.

I feel like I know who wrote this.
I wish things had ended differently. I still love you so much more than you could ever imagine. I’m sorry and I will for a very long time. But it’s just so hard. So so hard. And I’m just not strong enough. I hope you can find someone who’s more patient than I am. But I can’t deal with this anymore.

As long as there’s trust and love, distance is irrelevant.
Yes, it hurts more.
Yes, it will be almost harder.
But the moments where you see each other will be worth the wait.
And you’ll never take eachother for granted.
Just stay strong and smile.
I’ll be thinking of you.

We have the same problem. I met her in the business program in maryland. She finished her exchange program and went back to France. She’s been gone two weeks and I miss her so damn much. I’m flying to Paris next week to be with her. But we are going to make the long distance work before she gets a job in the US.

He lives in Germany and I live in Mexico, we met in a boarding school in South Australia 2 years ago and we’ve been “best friends” since. We’ve visited each other a couple of times but i still wish i’d do a 5 minute walk to get to see him. We do all we can to see each other as often as possible but distance’s a bitch and life’s life. We are young but whatever it is we have will last forever.

You’re going to be in Illinois, I’m stuck here in Texas. We’ve got over a month left, and I’ve admitted my feelings. But I feel everything is still incomplete. I’m not ready for this, at all. And honestly, I don’t want you to leave. But you have to, and I’m happy for you. It hurts though.
Just, don’t forget our friendship.

You know what really sucks? When your husband has been deployed in the Afghanistan, in the heart of the Taliban, and you might not hear from him for days — and you definitely won’t see him for at least a year.

But love knows no distance! If you are determined, and you love one another, then it will work out.

Even so, it doesn’t matter if you live two minutes apart or two hundred thousand miles apart. Away is still away, and it’s still difficult.

I am in Brazil, he is in England. And after everything we have lived, we have realized that everytime it gets even more paifull. We still in love, we still miss each other, but the agony is really bad. We are too young, so right now things won’t work.I don’t feel like I’m gonna find this kind of feeling ever again, it happens only once.
It’s a shame, because I really belive he is the love of my life

My guy has been deployed stateside for 2 years and is currently deployed for 14 months overseas.

We grew up together but during our relationship he’s been mainly in new york on base, while i was in Chicago. I’ll have to survive 10 more months after his deployment is over, while he goes to live in new york back on base.

It’s hard–very hard, but long distance DOES work and it was so worth it in my case.

I just worked out I live about 700 miles away from him, but I’m not going to let myself feel depressed about the distance, cos I know I’m going to see him soon (Just over a month away! It’s nearly been a year…)
Long distance relationships can work out – my parents are living proof of that =]
With some effort, and not letting yourself feel too down about it, it should all work out how it’s meant to. I know it’ll be hard, but in the end, we all pull through, one way or another. Good luck ^___^
