I can't imagine how difficult an extended separation would be! Just keep being strong, and looking forward to your future together!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611423035852851829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191137835328682779.post-51060794597621946882009-10-28T09:15:45.329-05:002009-10-28T09:15:45.329-05:00I am always so impressed with couples that do the ...I am always so impressed with couples that do the long-distance thing - I could never do it! S was mentioning having to go on a business trip for a couple of weeks, and it made me really sad just to think about being away from him for that long. I think all the long distance brides out there are incredibly strong - and like you said, it's definitely worth it in the end. Good luck getting through this!Katerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750705048643118323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191137835328682779.post-379155957462073242009-10-28T09:09:49.086-05:002009-10-28T09:09:49.086-05:00I'm right there with you!

We've been long distance (except for during the summers) for the last 2 school years, and now we're almost down to one more semester. I have a feeling next semester will be the hardest one yet, but I have to just keep telling myself that it'll all be worth it when I FINALLY get to spend every night falling asleep in OUR house and get to wake up next to him every morning. It definitely strengthens relationships, but it is by no means fun while you're in one. I know for a fact that we'll NEVER take our time together for granted! <br /><br />I'm here if you want to whine, too! I totally get what you're saying about the not wanting to get out of bed for class. I am so over school. We're almost done!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477909099094323936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191137835328682779.post-27222118482811929792009-10-28T07:59:57.602-05:002009-10-28T07:59:57.602-05:00People who aren't in an LDR don't really u...People who aren't in an LDR don't really understand how awful they are. A little over a year ago, I took a job in NYC and left my then-boyfriend in Pittsburgh, and we did the dreaded LDR for a year. During that year, he proposed. And a couple of months ago, I got laid off. One of my coworkers was suggesting that I take a job in yet another non-Pittsburgh city, and I just looked at her like she was crazy. I would rather be unemployed, hunting for a job in Pittsburgh but with my fiance, than anywhere else. Home is where he is. I hope the LD aspect of your R ends soon!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058332763242199818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191137835328682779.post-56728581725299296142009-10-28T01:37:08.265-05:002009-10-28T01:37:08.265-05:00You are right about everything.

How much it sucks, how difficult it can be, how you struggle to get through one day at a time, but also how it does make your relationship stronger, and how worth it it will be in the end. We did long distance for 5 years. While it was everything you describe above I've found that we both really appreciate being together now, just doing everyday things. All the talking has definitely made us stronger as a couple and has helped us in the long term. Sounds like you guys are doing all the right things, using technology to your advantage and planning trips at decent intervals. Sometimes it does feel like it gets harder rather than easier. Make sure to indulge in things you truly enjoy when you are feeling low. Hang in there! Feel free to drop me a line anytime.Chocolate Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301400033914265735noreply@blogger.com
