The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Creating a show on twenty somethings and long distance relationships
I'm planning to put together a show on my podcast devoted to a topic that is near and dear to many twenty-somethings' hearts - long distance relationships. I just finished going through one, and a friend of mine is just starting one. She's having a hard time, and I know she's not the only one. It can be difficult to deal with, especially if you think you're the only one experiencing it. I'm hoping I can help some people cope through this project.
If any of you have any stories, advice, thoughts, etc. about long distance relationships or know someone else who does, I'd love to include them in the show. You can record your comments on the call-in line I set up by leaving a message at +1 206-202-3519. Just be sure to start out by telling me who you are and whether or not you want to remain anonymous.
Thanks everyone!

Hmmm...I am currently in a LDR. It started out as a Beijing - Hong Kong relationship....which has now turned into a London - Hong Kong relationship! Is there anything specific you're looking for?!

Any advice you would offer others on how you dealt with it would be great. If you call it in to record, leave your name and the name of your blog so I give you credit (if you want me to).

My relationship was a long distance one for two years before we moved in together and we spent every weekend travelling to see each other.
With long distance relationships you have to be willing to put the effort in to travel and see each other. Mine worked out as I am now married and have no regrets.

LDR is the best kind. It makes the time you do spend with each other better and considering I'm someone who gets bored with a partner real quick, it's perfect for me.

I'm on the LDR circuit right now, too, have been since January, and it will continue for another two years or so. I'm not sure how useful I'd be, but I think it'd be interesting to join in on the conversation.

my big love was a ldr. I was in norway, he is Cali. we met in iceland, and saw each other all over the world for the next 2 years. My ldr was the best relationship I had in my 20s.
what saved our relationship and I swear by this is ICHAT and the web cam. To us the physical separation was never hard, thanks to ichat I still could see his emotions and we could talk face to face evryday

Hi Allie...
I've been in a long distance relationship for a year now and my boyfriend and I actually blog together in a letter-to-letter format about our experience. It keeps us sane...I guess.
Here's a shameless link if you are interested in our story:

I used to read a blog called "he said she said" I think it's long gone but it sounds similar.

I am in a long distance relationship. I am in Arkansas and he is in Hawaii. We've been together for 14 months and married for 1 month (today actually! Yay!)
The best advice that I could ever give someone in a LDR is that you need to be VERY clear on what you say and how you say it. Because so much of what you mean is interpreted through facial expressions and body language that they don't get to see, there could be some serious miscommunication if you don't say things exactly the way you mean them.
Also, take time out of every single day to call or text or even email no matter how short to let them know that they are on your mind. Whereas in a relationship where you live close by thats not always necessary but it makes a huge difference when you don't get to see each other for weeks or even months at a time.
One last thing- gifts dont hurt :-) Even if its just a cute Hallmark card.
