How long did your long distance relationship last?

3 years ago, my boyfriend and I started dating. 1.5 years ago we went long distance because of school. Sometimes it seems impossible to not want to find someone who's going to be able to go out on a regular basis and not two times a year.

Anywho, how long have you been in a long distance before you gave up? Or rather, how did you make it work?

< 1 year 10
1-2 years 3
2-3 years 3
> 4 years 3
Im not in a long distance relationship 12
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Approaching 18 months now but the thing that keeps us both going is knowing that soon we will be together for good.
    To be honest though, in saying that, I think we would both wait a lot longer if it was necessary.

    How old are you two?
    & how long until you can get back to being together in a traditional sense?

    4 years and a few months. The distance never bothered me.

    What happened to the relationship? I was young, stupid, and I tried to repair something with someone who didn't even care about me anymore and stayed in a dead relationship for too long. Time wasted, and lesson learned.

    I don't see why you can't go out and live a normal life just because you are in a ldr. Don't you trust yourself to stay faithful? Doesn't he love you enough to want you enjoying yourself while you are apart?
    This isn't the middle ages where the damsel is locked in a tower room or sent to a convent until her knight returns.

        I sure wouldn't want someone I love living a cloistered life while I was away for a long period. And I am not saying you should hide it either. I'm sure he would appreciate hearing that you are happy, rather than miserable.
        'If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.'

        Just to clarify for all my haters, I am NOT advocating screwing around, that is not the point of this post. Trust and love are the point, which apparently very few, if any of you have either in your sad, pathetic lives.

            That's because your mom and I only want what's best for you, dear.
