bull. i moved to america leaving my oh behind. we were only together 3 months when I left. But knew I had to get it out of my system and couldnt put my life on hold. I came back six months later.
We arenow very happily married with four kids, not saying its the easiest thing in the world but its not impossible.
you dont mention how long you will be apart for though
A mate of mine met an American girl while she was in Ireland on an exchange program. He was in Uni here, she was in Uni over there. They conducted a long distance relationship for 3 years and it worked perfectly. They are married now
It can work for anyone so long as they are intent on making it work 0 -

Guess I'd better not mention the other disasters I know about
I'm joking They are now living together in New York and loving married life. These days when you have email, Skype, Gmail video chat and all sorts, it's easier to keep relationships going so I hope you guys use technology to it's best advantage and keep in touch that way Good luck with it all 0 -

Aye, just try not to worry, it can be difficult when it's a weekend night and you know he's going out and you're not. The mind can go into overdrive and start imagining all sorts of weirdness Don't let it get to you and don't spend every five minutes texting or calling him. Have some faith, if it's meant to be then he and you will be good I've been with my OH for five years now - she lived in France for the first two of those and is in London now, while I've stayed in Dublin. Have to say, we've never had any problems.
There are a number of good aspects to having a long distance relationship;
- You appreciate the time you spend together more than you otherwise would.
- Knowing that your meeting your good sir next weekend (or whenever) always gives you something to look forward to.
- The relationship stays, eh, fresh for longer.
The only piece of advice I would give (if you're asking) is not to worry. Getting anxious over thoughts of other girls flirting with him will drive you nuts, and it's just a waste of your energy. Besides, as long as the two of you want to make it work you've nothing to worry about.
The advice from Surly here is spot on! Good call (Great username Surly!!) 0 -
Of course it can work if ye want it to.
Iv a friend who's been going out with her American boyfriend for almost three years. Its not always easy, but they get through it and there great together when they go see each other. They both adore each other, which is more than i can say for most non-distant relationships i know of. We workeed it out before a few months back and at that stage they had literally spent about 52 weeks of the three years in each others company. BUT shes does get alot of nice cheap holidays out of it!!!
Personally, i only get to see my fella at the weekends as well, and as were both up to our eye balls with college work at the moment even the time at the weekends can be limited. Its been pretty much the same way since we got together almost two and a half years ago. Hes in college about an hours drive away while im in college at home. I some times get up during the week, but that has been seldom this year.
And on top of that there is a very high chance that i will be moving abroad for a couple of years for college this coming september.
Who knows what will happen, but were willing to give it ago. Sure its only a flight away and its cheaper to fly abroad than get a train or bus to any where in this country when you fly with ryanair (for all their faults, there feckn handy!!!)
Just go with it and if its to be it will be!
Best of luck!!!!:)0 -

Some very nice stories, but tbh, I would say there is a slim chance that a long distance relationship can work, some people get lucky, some people don't. It all really goes down to how much you love one another, and how long you can last without each other. But hey I guess the same goes for marriage as well.0 -
Very strange thread title, given the subject matter, but regarding the "long distance" thingy, the fact that you're both busy people is actually a plus.....ye won't be stuck bored and annoyed that the OH isn't around to do something with.
If ye both want it to work, it'll work; as someone said above, VoIP and Skype means ye can talk for free, and as for meeting up - well, they say "what's seldom is wonderful"
!
There'll be the odd hiccup, where someone's knackered after a hard day / week and travelling a long distance to "stay in" mightn't seem THAT appealing (then again, it might!) but as long as ye're solid and understand each other and want it to work, it's got as much chance of working as if ye were on the same street...
Best of luck!0 -
