Re: How to maintain long distance relationship?

This is actually a good question that I asked to myself in the case I found love in another country. (I'm also on some international dating sites...)
Everything would have to rely first on faith in the other person.

It's sure that if something like this would happen, one of us would have to finally make the move in the other country and learn partner's language.

Just for example, when I was recently in love this that now lost friend, I was totally ready to learn Greek, as it was her mother tongue, just to be able to speak with her in her own language and to understand her and her country better. I even had started to download some books I found on internet about Greek language and her country.

I think it's something important even if that person makes the move or lives in your country.

Re: How to maintain long distance relationship?

Communication, communication, communication ... by whatever means ... texting, emails, chat, phone calls (thank goodness for cheap phone providers), plus flights to see each other as often as possible (again thanks to cheap providers). If all of the above is not happening on both sides, then it's time to call it a day.

Re: How to maintain long distance relationship?

I had one of these at the beginning. Aerogrammes are the best. They are cheap, don't require electricity, and can be non-linear.

I am not a letter writer but I sent at least one of these per week. Sometimes three or four.

Good luck as these sorts of relationships can be quite trying at times.
Brian.

I am of the firm belief that long-distance relationships are never meant to work. Humans need physical and emotional contact to maintain the types of connections needed in any strong relationship, and I have never seen how that can be the case when you only see someone every so often and communicate mainly by phone.

However more importantly, why are you jealous and suspicious of him, has he given you reason? If you have no trust then how can you have a relationship, never mind one of long-distance that requires cast-iron belief in your partner?

Doomed to fail in my opinion.

I hate to agree, but if you are already jealous and suspicious to the point that you are posting about it on a forum, I think your subconscious is trying to tell you something.

These kind of relationships require you to have a complete understanding of the other person. You need to know what they are going to do what they won't do. I won't tell you about my long distance relationship as you would be uncomfortable but it would have tweaked the jealous and there would have been no suspicion. Still I have now been married for over 20 years so it didn't work out too badly.

But I agree that it seems to be a unique person that survives and even thrives in these sort of relationships.

Good Luck,
Brian.

He strongly believe that the relationship will work for him and his girlfriend..

Im agree with you..

However more importantly, why are you jealous and suspicious of him, has he given you reason?
Its too complicated to story..make it short,he just divorced,but he stay still nearby his wife and kid (can assume as next door)..while the girl that he mention is his girlfriend and he love, is on another part of world..this girlfriend just try to believe in everything but she just cant..she try hard!

If you have no trust then how can you have a relationship, never mind one of long-distance that requires cast-iron belief in your partner?
Pehaps,he trust his girlfriend but not on girlfriend side...His girlfriend just cant stand with it.She try hard to trust.She cant while the boyfriend keep convince her..

Doomed to fail in my opinion.
me too

Re: How to maintain long distance relationship?

Er, yeah! Sounds like boyfriend wants all of the benefits of being married and having an exciting/exotic lover from a foreign land without any of the responsibilities. I am saying that it couldn't be anything else. I am just saying this is typical of the guy who can't live with his wife but still loves her and loves his child. However, now that he is technically single, he can get back into the dating scene.

Doesn't seem like a winner. Situation or boyfriend.

Good luck,
Brian.

Well.. if she's the type of girl that gets involved with a recently-divorced man on the other side of the world nd expects things to be ok then she is either very young, very naieve, a bit dim, or a mixture of all three. Leave her to it and let her realise her mistakes... it's all part of the learning process.

Re: How to maintain long distance relationship?

Only solution? Move. If whomever wants to be with someone, then they will do it. Life is too short for excuses.

Yep, so why doesn't your friend move... maybe she has less obligations?

And so on...

I am not saying it couldn't be anything, but I would be concerned. Everytime, I have seen this situation, my initial surmise is correct.

If it is real then your suggestion of moving will sort out the details. If it is not then the girlfriend suggesting that she move will take care of things very quickly. Proximity definitely sorts things out.

That's what happened twenty two years ago when my then girlfriend moved over to the States to be with me. It was the right thing to do.
Life is definitely too short. No excuses.

Brian.

Re: How to maintain long distance relationship?

I think with the technological advancements, it is possible to keep long distance relationships.

Get Broadband, get Trubrite Laptop, a Webcam... and get going

You can have a morning lover in Americas (depending on time zones), afternoon love in Europe and late evening love in Far East... The only mistake you would make is if you stick with one

There was this lady who would check into a hotel, wear sexy lingerie and full works in terms of makup... just to talk to her lover on the PHONE!!!

So theres hope.. cant stay how long they'll last but relationships even in real life dont last that long... so what the heck
