Anyone in a long distance relationship?

[Sophie_P]

I'm in the UK, my partner, she is in the US. She's hoping to move here Summer 2015.

Is anyone else in a long distance relationship?

Words of encouragement are needed and can be offered (struggling today)

Slightly different soph but I was in a relationship with my now husband when we were at uni. He lived in Birmingham, I lived in London. We saw each other every 2/3 weeks and talked on the phone (pre Skype days).

As I said we're married now - It was hard for the 4 years we did it but it made us stronger as a result.

I was with a guy in the army who was always based at least 4 hours away, if not more. Quite often his weekend leave would be taken off of him which was heart breaking but we managed it for almost 2 years. Out relationship broke down a month after he had spoken to his mum about proposing, however we broke down due to my mum hating him and that he didn't want the relationship to change as much as I did. The distance didn't break us, we just had very different lifestyles and he had other things which he was more focused on.

It's hard, really hard, but whenever the distance got me down when we were together I just used to ask myself whether I'd be happier without him or count all of the things about him which make me happy

She's 4000 miles away, so it's very hard. We see each other every 8 weeks or so. Skype everyday. She's moving here and applying for a visa in six months.
