Can anyone help me?

I'm moving to Albury-Wodonga (to study) and "Boo hoo" hav to leave my man back in Bendigo , Vic, And wondered if anyone had any long distance relationship stories to help cheer me up???

We have so much fun together, and I am startting to feel a little blue about having to move away....

I wish i did have a good story to tell you. Oh well, Good luck

At a young age, absolutely not. anything under say, 23...it ends in disaster.

But my mother and father.....
To cut it short, due to study and work, each was seperated by the atlantic ocean for a year...got to be together for a few short weeks, then got seperated again. Never gave up, stayed true, and have now been married about 20 years, three kids.

I hate to admit it, but liquidity may be right my girlfriend would like to travel overseas in a year or two, and I may not be able to go with her. It kills me to think what it will be like being away from her, and the uncertainty of whether we'll end up breaking up is horrible. I wish you all the good luck in the world, and sincerely hope you guys do end up staying together through it.

You can't tell if it will work or not.

One way is to try it out, and hope for the best.
The other way is to stay good friends, and catch up for 'fun times' when you can.

Either way, it's better to regret something you tried, than something you didn't try.

my missus moved away for work. 5hrs away. we had only been going out for 2months or something. she was only up there for a year so i would go and stay with her and she would come down n stay with me everychance we got. we are still together. so there is a chance. wish you guys all the best

Long distance relationship will only work if u guys both can trust each other 100% and no matter what will come on ur way to make it thru, U both have to solve it together

To be honest, I hate long distance relationship, been there before and didnt work out. But hey thats when I was 17 hahahahhahahaha

Anyway...good luck for u both..keep positive thinking with u always and let the journey begin

thanks heaps guys!

i'm stoaked that i got such a tops response, hopefully it works out for us.
It really isn't that far (3+1/2 hrs) when you think about what other people have done, I've just never done this before...

...so it's good to get a bit of advice, you know!

I'm excited about everything that I'm looking down the barrel of, but I just want him to be happy...

...what ever that means... ...he knows how I feel and he knows that what ever he wants he's got it...

So I think I stressed over nothing!

CHEERS!

talking is good

dont want something on the surface and want something different deep down and hope he knows what you really want...men dont work like that lol

i can say that i gave these long relationship a go. and i can also say that they SUCK.
i live in Melbourne and she lived in Adelaide. it lasted for over 2 years. Very hard at first and the key word in long distance elationship is "T R U S T ".
mine ended due to this word. (Not on my behalf)
but they can work out.
also be prepared for expensive phone bills. My mobile was $700 -$1000 per month for a while.(That hurt)
but every chance i had i flew over or she came across. tha't the best bit.

Good Luck

I only get to see my GF every second weekend at the most.
Been that way for over a year now and although it's hard, it is definitely worth the effort.

if someone is important enough you will do anything to be with them, and that includes passing up work and study opportunities. those things can get ditched by the wayside, but true love cant

I think having people to SUPPORT you is also vital.. if you have "friends" filling your head with rubbish, they're attacking your trust in your partner. Then you'll start to doubt them.. "But why is he late ? I bet he's out with someone else" and so on and so forth, hear it enough times and you'll start believing it yourself.

So have trust in them, and support for yourself. That or make the lad move with you

that would have to be the shortest long distance relationship ive heard of

should work fine youre not very far away from each other

you should try miami and melbourne ...hmm time gap alone was a pain..forget the rest.

hope it works out dude....

i really do, breaking up is hard...

being apart is even harder...

i was 23 when i moved here to switzerland in november last year, im still with my gf whom i haven't seen for 10 months and its still just as we left it, if not closer. talk on msn etc. while im at work and only get to call her on the weekends cos of the time difference.
its hard but its do able.
only for 2 more months tho wohooo. passed on staying here to accept something lesser in melb starting feb 2007.
living by urself sux...im gonna live at home forever.

I tried to do one with my girlfriend in Singapore (I repatriated).

It was incredibly hard, but we never had any physical contact when we were physically going out so I didn't really miss that.

My advice is for both of you to buy a webcam. Not for cyber, but simply for seeing each other. Trust me on that!
