What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

We would like to help others. We know how hard being in a long distance relationship can be. We've gone through many of the issues that occur frequently in LDRs. We've resolved many, and since we're currently in a LDR, we might even have the same issue others have!

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Many people think that long distance relationships cannot work. They believe that a long distance relationship isn't a "real" relationship. This is hard for a lot of people to deal with, especially when their friends and family members feel this way, and sometimes discourage their LDR. It's a myth that LDRs don't work; I know they do.

If I were you, I would back off or else you are going to push him away. The way things are now, he is going to resent you - eg. missing out on a free trip to Jamaica because of you obviously doesn't put

2009-08-07 boyfriend moved away and i dont now if he cheating:

The only way to find out if he is cheating is to ask him. Tell him that you're afraid that he is because he stopped talking to you as much as he used to. If he isn't cheating, then you need to set

2009-07-23 Long distance relationship...need help :\:

Hi, It doesn't sound like she is at the maturity level she needs to be at to maintain a strong, committed relationship. If she is better to you from here on out, you will still have trust issues
