haha yeah... I'm currently in one... have been for going on three years now. And it's seriously not fun at times.

haha. That's a little broad, no? I was in one (6 hours apart) with my current boyfriend for about three years before we both finally relocated. While I'm glad to be with him now, I would never want to go through it again and would probably prefer to break things off if we ever found ourselves in the same situation.

haha yes, it's broad. I wanted to keep it open to interpretation. I wanted to hear opinions from anyone who had any thought at all towards the subject. :)

That's really inspiring to know that it can work out though- sometimes I just feel doomed. My current distance is 13 hours while we're in school, and 6 when we're at home during the summer.
However, this summer he has an internship so we'll be only 2 hours- it feels like a gift!

My guy is currently deployed and I got to see him for three and a half days recently after over a year. We won't get to see each other again for a few more months. Even without deployment we're about 2,700 miles away from each other. Once he gets back we're going to have to talk about what's going to happen because he has to move to Germany (for at least two years!) by the end of this year.

Wow! I am so sorry to hear that :( is there any way you could go with him? Were you guys together for a very long time before he deployed?

We were friends at first and he said it best when he told me"our friendship turned into love". The only way for me to go to Germany with him would be to marry him! Something he's actually mentioned but because the time frame between his deployment return and his leaving to Germany is so small, everything would be too quickly. I'll (hopefully) get to see him for a few days once he gets back from deployment but I will have to return to my home state soon after because of work. We have a tenative plan to do a cross country trip in the Fall, I guess to figure out how well we'll do with each other but (since I'm moving states soon and will need to find a new job) it will depend on if work will let me off.
We love each other and have said that we do want a future with one another.. Life is complicated and won't let things be as simple as that, at least for now. heh

Hmmm yeah, I can't imagine how rough that would be. But it's so inspiring to see how positive you are about the situation! (You will hear no more self-pitying from me! ;) ) How did you two meet?

Aww, thanks! I've actually never thought about it that way, heh. And I definitely have my big moments of self-pity, we're all entitled to it! ^_~
We met.. I was in an very bad emotionally abusive relationship, a friend told me that she had someone I should talk to since we had things in common. I didn't feel comfortable with the idea (and didn't help I thought he was arrogant then!) but eventually we talked, and we talked every night. I made the decision to end the relationship I was in because I came to realized how abusive it was and shortly after he asked if he could write me letters (snail mail wise!). I said sure, not believing he would actually do it but sure enough they showed up in the mail. We would talk throughout the day and for hours each night and this went on for a bit before we realized we cared for one another. :)
I didn't think it was possible to be this happy and the time we recently got to spend together just showed me how much we do want a future with each other. On the very positive side, he's beyond amazing with my son. All three of us being in D.C. together was a glimpse of what we want to happen. Ah, corny I know! ^_~
(Ok, after typing this.. I realized I need to post it on my blog!)

Snail mail- makes me melt a little bit inside, how cute! :)

Receiving the first letter from him was actually what made me look at him twice.. Especially since I guys throughout my life tell me they would do the same but he was the first one! There was literally a pitter patter in my heart when I opened the mailbox that day. ^_~
