I'm in cali. Dinner tonight? (3 down, 3,999 more to go) My current gf is in Houston. I just saw her last week when she come here during spring break, but we see each other about once every 3 months or so. Definitely difficult, but we work through it by talking every night and communicate well.
besides your day, what else can you talk about every night? I saw my brother doing this for 3 years with his long distant g/f, all i heard was "I miss you" every 5 minutes and "i love you" oh yeah "do you miss me ?" that as well
I am in one right now. It is rough, very rough. But the only way I could stay in it this long is there is an actual plan and timetable for her to move here. If there was no "light at the end of the tunnel," I would have bailed out. There is no point to that if you two are eventually not going to be together. It really is hard on the weekends and when I have free time. We talk every night, but when there really is nothing to say it becomes, "Hey.....Okay, I am going to go eat, later."
http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=164573 There is my thread on a long distance relationship that didn't work out....check that out and see if you can relate...um..yeah it worked out bad for me, i got dumped but she was a 21 year old girl who was an emotional roller coaster and didnt know what she wanted.
Now that you mention it, I guess we don't really talk about anything in particular. She'd be studying or watching random movies and videos, while I do my thing. It's not so much about the conversation itself, but it's about the time you spend "together". Skype also helps.
Yeah, I know it's hard, but it's definitely worth it. You just need two people who are really committed to it working, and you definitely need that light at the end of the tunnel when the long distance part of the relationship is over. We went through 8 months one time of not being able to see each other. That was torture! But it's almost over, and I can't wait!
