Help! Long Distance Relationship???

[*Miau*]

I give long distance relationship an all new meaning....not just distance, but time too. Ironically enough, the girl I really really like is also from Georgia. We both feel the same way about each other, but we have to wait a year and a half before we can even talk again. Harsh? yes. Worth the wait? a million times yes. Any relationship can work out if you have two things....first, God at the center of it all, and two...love. It's not always easy, but it's always possible and there's always hope. Read Corinthians I 13:4-7...thats what love really is.

Aww Why can't you talk to her for the next 1 and half year?
I'm in a long distance relationship too, and my boyfriend lives in England, and I live in Denmar, and we talk online everyday, and meet every months/2 months
And I think that's very tough, so I couldn't even begin to imagine not being able to talk to him for 18 months... But God will be with you. I wish you all the best

Thanks Miau! God's really taken this time to strengthen me and for that I'm forever thankful. There's no way I could do this without him. God Bless!!!

LDR's are so hard! I feel lucky compared to everyone else in here! My boyfriend is only in the next state north of me! So it's only around a 3 hour drive to see him! I will be praying for all of you in here!!

GOD Bless!!

Catch22, you never answered Miau's question - how come you won't be able to even talk for a year and a half? I've thought about it, and I can't imagine a situation where that would ever happen. Prisoners can have vistors, even soldiers at war can send letters...

Help me out here

 

[Joe84]

Oooh - I got it!

18 month space mission?

 

[catch22]

yes, a space mission...thats it....errr...I'm going to fly into orbit myself this summer. Maybe I'll see her floating around up there.

 

[GodsBugg]

Hey Catch22? How much longer until you do get to see her? I bet you're counting down all of the days!! Can you two write to one another any way? What about emails? Anything? I will be praying for you!! I think it's *so* wonderful that you two have that kind of commitment!! Encouraging stories ARE so good to hear!!! It's very encouraging!!! (To all of us in LDRs!!!)

Anyone & Everyone: Any suggestions for sweet things to do when my boyfriend an I are apart? When we're together, I sometimes take him out on dates!! So that's nice for the guy to not have to pay! But I want to do sweet things while we're not together! Suggestions for things while we're together would be great too!! Everyone have a *wonderful* and *blessed* night!! GOD Bless!!

Thanks you very much Godsbugg. Gosh, you all are so supportive here...I love that! Unfortunatley, no I can't write her or e-mail her or contact her in anyway. The earliest I'll get to see her is this summer, but even thats not certain. If I don't see her then, then the next time I'll be able to will be fourteen months from then, so I'm just praying that God will have our paths cross. GB, I'm going to send you a PM so I can elaborate on this a bit more.

GodsBugg, I can' comment on your boyfriend, but I know what works for me. I may sound girly, but I like the small stuff. Like, we email each other every day, telling each other all about our days. But then sometimes I'll get a second small email that just says "I love you and miss you so much." Or something like that. I LOVE that, and I think most guys do though many won't admit it.

GodsBugg - use your imagination... I can't be specific because my boyfriend in on this board as well - but you can PM me if you like.

Oh, go on Miau...

I bet he won't see it.

 

[*Miau*]

No maybe he won't ... Buuut I think I'd better not - just in case he did come to courting couples and read my post!
GodsBug - you can PM me anytime

 

[GodsBugg]

I know how to recieve PM's but I have NO clue how to send them!! Help!! *lol*

 

[GodsBugg]

Alright, figured it out!! Yaay! This forum is getting easier and easier to use!! Well, my pupper's is calling for me to love on him, and play with him, so I gotta run!! Talk to you laters!! GOD Bless and have a *blessed* day!

 

[GodsBugg]

I guess this thread is over and done with? Catch22, and *Miau*, I've added yall to my buddy list! Thanks everyone else for all the help!! GOD Bless everyone!

In the words of my Jamaican friends from last summer....Everyting be kris den sistah Everyting be iree. waguan!

 

[*Miau*]

Everyting be kris den sistah Everyting be iree. waguan!

lol - what? could you translate that into english? you see, english isn't my native tongue, so Jamaican-english isn't very easy! lol

 

[catch22]

Kein Problem! It says "Everything is cool. Everything is going to be alright. What's up?" too bad I couldn't speak fluent patwah. That'd be nifty.

 

[*Miau*]

Thank you Catch22

Lol. I seem to have missed all the advice section. Just one note though.

Dating has that "honeymoon" period. It's where everytihng is great and lovey dovey. When that's over, you argue more and don't quite see eye to eye on issues. It's normal. It's after the honeymoon period where you see if your relationship really will last or won't. It's much more real.
