thanks for an inspirational anecdote...wow! i really love happy endings..i know there's nothing that's impossible if you really want things to work out...as long as you have the desire, everything will fall into place eventually...

i miss my baby so much...but i've hanged on to his promise that one day we'll be together again and we will be very happy...

despite the distance, i'm still so deeply and madly inlove with him...

just like the rest of you, i also miss my baby so much..

LDR is hard... but we still manage to keep our relationship strong because we want to... and we want to make it work. We see to it that we communicate often -- through phone calls, emails, chat, the webcam, etc.

I was in a long distance relationship for 2 years and 1 month. I even visited her (my GF) in the US last July. I just found out a few weeks ago that she found someone else.

Ack! I don't think the future is too bright for you. But expect the worst. I know I'm being a total pessimist here but I just don't know how it'll work. Do the best you can to make it work. Let go if you need to. Pray. Good luck and have faith!

hhmm..posted a msg here last month....unfortunately, my ldr didnt work out.... =(
i had exams, and couldnt really talk to him or entertain him for 2 weeks, he would call me sometimes, and i would txt him almost everyday...then after the exam, he just stopped...didnt hear from him, i tried to call, pero wala...dont know the reason why...
oh well, **** happens....

pero dont fret, not all ldr's fail....a friend of mine has been in one for 2 + years....and theyre still going strong!!!!

[baby_07]

7 months and counting..damn i really miss him...

LDRs CAN work..if you want to..

[sTiLa]

sometimes i feel i cant hold on anymore im in US and he's phils. we got together 2 mos. before i left my friends told me that i shouldn't do that coz LDR is hard. in the first place he already knows im leaving but both of us wants and love each other. we txt everyday got a roaming no. and got a number here also so we could have a communication. i trust him alot but i know he got a lot of girls around him and he's willing to give up everything for me.. me too... its not that im not goin back its just that were longing for each other company's and everything. there are a lot of temptations out there. ive already give up alot of things that i know he might doubt or watever. i gave my my gimmick life, bein a smoker and more....

sometimes i just dont know what to do? should i give up or just wait for few more months then im goin back to pinas na din...but i dont know if could still hold on... all i know is that i just want him to be happy with everything. but i cant afford to loose a guy like him. he's perfect he let me feel that im everythin to him.... what should i do? i really love him.. i know he feels the same way too.. coz he always telling me na "bakit me papayag makipagcommit while i know na ur leaving?" im confuse what should i do.. help...

Commitment can exist even if two people are apart. kung for the sake of having a relationship lang, sympre mas appropriate kung kasama mo sya palagi. But commitment is different. You are willing to take each risk, each endeavor, each pain, even if you're not together.

I never realized that there are things like hope, faith and love until I've been in this situation. Masarap magkaboyfriend na kasama mo palagi pero you'll realize in the end, either you'll love him more or you'll fall out of love once he's away. each day is a sacrifice pero that's part of loving someone, magkasama man kayo o hindi.

We have different situations and we have different capacity in handling things especially this bittersweet long-distance relationship. It's a choice. Others fail, other don't.

It's hard, it's lonely, it's disappointing ..but after everything that has happened and will happen, I am still here. I'll be waiting.

LDR...
my gf & I are about 10 hrs away. we live in diff states, but we met onlyn. never met but we're planning to. there are 3 main keys to survive LDRs: TRUST (highly imporant), COMMIMENT, & WILLINGNESS to sacrifice.

[baby_07]

Trust is the key. May mga mag-boyfriends nga na kahit magkasama sila, hindi pa rin nila napagkakatiwalaan ang isa't-isa. What more pa kami na malayo sa mga mahal namin? You just can't imagine how hard it is. But trust is what makes us sane despite the worrisome moments in our lives.

8 months and counting.. *hirap*

but hey, if you're willing to work things out, ryt?

ang daming nakakamiss sa kanya.. have to wait at least 3 years to see him again..

[trizcie]

it sucks.

but you have to make it work.
but at the end of the day, it still feels great knowing you still have each other despite the distance, that's what matters.

[smyl]

whew! in in one....and its been going for a few months...he is the one calling me kasi he doesnt want me to call him kasi daw student pa daw ako so i just trust him that he is not doing anything that could hurt me..he will be back this MAy and ill let him meet my parents ...he wil be the only guy that im willing to go to my parents ..kasi im proud of him and i love him that much....and i keep on praying that he could hold on and wait for me til teh time that i get my medical license........then ill marry him......uhmmm i miss him so much ......

[septerra]

smyl hope your relationship goes well, dont' worry, ako din naman ganun ang ginagawa ko sa gf ko. nag miss call lang siya sa akin then I'll be the one to call her... trust and love namin each other naman kaya ayun... hope he could hold on kasi ako I would really hold on until she graduates and becomes a nurse tapos pakasalan ko na siya...

[smyl]

Septerra, thanks so much......i really appreciate the support..sana nga everything will be fine pati sayo....

[baby_07]

i miss him sooooo much!

[hello_ally]

In a few months time I will be in an LDR as well.
Is the length of the relationship a factor on whether or not it will survive the distance? 8 months na kami but by the time he leaves for the US to study for 6 months, one year na kami. I'm very apprehensive of his trip to the States and I've told him that. Sabi ko sa kanya, baka naman hindi na siya bumalik dito.

Every time I think about it, naiiyak ako. He always tells me wag ko muna isipin yon, matagal pa naman, sa June pa pero I can't help it!

Tapos whenever I bring up the topic, nagagalit siya sa akin. Wag ko daw problemahin ang mga bagay na hindi pa nangyayari. He flares up kaya para wala na lang away, I shut up. Hindi ko alam kung bakit niya iniiwasan yung topic. Sabi niya sa kin, "It's hard as it is right now. Don't make it any harder." Bakit ba niya iniiwasan yung topic? Help!

Sigurado akong may babalikan siya sa Pilipinas pag uwi niya, sana sigurado rin akong may hihintayin ibalik. (Ay, ang baduy ko!! Pasensiya na!)

[baby_07]

ok lang yan hello_ally.. Some people have worst situations pa nga e. Pero they still hang on to each other. Distance should never hinder one's relationship to grow. Mahirap pero kailangan din magsacrifice. Believe me, at this age, i could have enjoyed my life at di mamrublema ng ganito. pero i have chosen this course in my life.

and im willing to fight for it.
