    s--- f---ing sucks man...just not being able to see that person that you love most in the world every single day. Not being able to touch their face or hug them and hold them. I've been dating my girlfriend for almost 3 years, and she went off to college last year since she's a year older and we got through it. I know we can make it through college but it just f---ing sucks man doesn't make it any easier on me. Your boy is draking so hard rn halp.

    2 hours I know it doesn't seem like much, but I'm starting university this year too and Im not going to have a lot of free time with all the school working and commuting to school which is 45 mins away since I'm not dorming.

    Chad Warden understands that, but it's all love from the caddy. If you want to block Chad Warden, no hard feelings.

    Starting next week I will be.

    I live in Ontario and she's going to BC for school. We've been together for 2 years so I know we'll get through it, but it'll probably be rough for a bit.

    Mimi the art of doing nothing

    Aug 28, 2015
    Yeah, doing it right now, second time with the same guy. First time was for 14 months and this time has been 6 months so far.
    It is hard, it's very hard. When you go from having that person there everyday, by your side. The person you trust most to express yourself to, the person you enjoy spending all your time with. To nothing. To not being able to be with them, sometimes not even being able to talk to them because of time differences. It sucks and it's hard.

    Communication is so important in a relationship like this. But there is a balance between a good amount and too much. Personally, I like some form of daily contact. Even if I dont hear his voice, a facebook message works fine.
    Honesty is also very important. Being honest about your feelings and the things you are up to. The worst thing to do is bottle emotions and feelings up because it can just become harder and harder to address them, it can effect the LDR you are having, coming across distant when you do talk, being short with your loved one.

    Another reason communication is key is for the reunion. My bf and I were in a relationship for 4yrs before doing an LDR. We lived together for those 4yrs, we were/are very close. He is my best friend. But even though we know each other so deeply, the first time we saw each other again was... weird? surreal?
    Not in a bad way, just weird to be with each other in physically. If we hadn't spoken as often as we did I think then it actually would have been awkward weird.


    This time around is a lot easier. It's still hard, especially at this point right now where I just want to be held safe in his arms and cry. But its 10 to 5 in the morning and I cant contact him. But after doing it the first time we know what to expect, we know what worked for us the first time and what didn't so we can make this time as easy a possible on ourselves.

    What's your girl like? Is she social or does she keep to herself? Weird question I know but Chad Warden's just wondering. :P

    I know, the general consensus with LDRs is to not judge anyone who is doing it. Even though someones distance may not be as big as yours they are still in there own struggle. But come the f--- on. 2 hours?! It was like the time my mum was crying about her bf being an hours drive away.
    She was acting like this to myself, who was 14,132km (8781mi) away from her bf and my sister who was doing a 2 week on, one week off relationship with her bf for 3 years who worked on the mines. Like, shut the f--- up b----! you actually have no f---ing idea how hard it is to not be able to see your SO. As much as you would like to, it is not physically or financially possible for me to hop into a car and just do a little drive like you can to see my partner. f---!!

    When you have s--- to do and can only see your gf once a month, how is that not long distance? During the spring she plays softball and is In a different state every day so I don't see her at all.

    First semester is rough bro but if you get through it your set. FaceTime honestly was the best thing ever, it helps a lot. The worst part is bickering due to sexual frustration though lmfao

    That's why I said the general consensus is to not judge anyone who is in the middle of it because you dont know what their situation is.
    Apologies for my message coming across seeming angry. That wasn't towards you, it was the emotions stirred up from my mum being a thoughtless little b----.

    If you ever do find you are struggling with the LDR feel free to drop me a message. Sometimes it's nice to be around and talk with others who know what the situation is like and understand what you are feeling. The first time I LDR'd if I was feeling lonely and sad I would hope on the LDR subreddit but that isn't always a good idea.
    To see people think about ending their relationship, or others who are happy to have ended it. It's not what you need in your life when you are trying to be strong and make things work.

    Thanks a lot mimi! Honesty your post put it into perspective. Like I was thinking about it and you know a lot of people have it tougher than me. 2 hours isn't really bad at all but I'm just s very affectionate person and the lack of physical contact and stuff gets to me. Thanks for the words of wisdom and support, and good luck with your relationship. If you ever need to talk as well, you can always message me. Do you find it hard to stay faithful also? Personal question sorry.

    She's social haha, but she stresses about school a lot and is pretty much studying all the time. During school last year we only hung out once or twice a week because her work load was so heavy.

    It's always going to s--- when you cant see your SO no matter the distance. Especially when you are technically close and could see each other but cant.
    No, I dont find it hard to stay faithful. I love my BF more than anything. I still, after so many years together feel so lucky and grateful for the fact that I have someone so amazing in my life. I would never want to hurt him in any way, especially a way that can mess somebody up with insecurities and trust issues, I could never do that to him. Also, I could never imagine finding anyone that treats me as well as he does and I would not want to lose that, let alone being the reason I lost him.

    And thanks for your offer and support. It is a hard thing, there is no denying that. But if you can get through it, it'll bring you guys closer together and make you stronger as a couple. The most important thing in a relationship, for me at least, is trust and communication and that is all you have in an LDR.
