IMHO.....a distance relationship can work. But the problem comes when both parties don't have a "game plan" to make it work. I've done one in the past and I would do another. Why limit yourself? And why, even after having one fail, would one assume LDR's always fail? Are they easy? Nope. But two people can do it if they want it to work. I travel with the work I do so I'm more open to em. I can make my home base anywhere I choose. So I don't have that "restriction" that most have. Still, even saying that, I wouldn't limit myself.


Does this mean you are finally ready to admit you are madly, passionately in love with me and we're gonna get married?

he's in Australia and im in the US. its not easy but i trust him, i haven't been able to do that with the"boy next door" i figure after multiple failed attempts why second guess his loyalty when he hasn't let me down once? so once i got past the whole"he could be a major fraud" thing i actually became really comfortable with it. he's moving here early next year...we'll see what happens.


There is a guy here, called Anacondaarms who married a girl on Oz, called something else. Josie, and a number, but I can't remember numbers.

Anyhow. The four of you could save a substantial amount of money and headaches by switching. You be with Anacondaarms, and your boyfriend with his wife.

Things can always be made to work, if you have enough time and money. You all seem pretty young, and if money is a problem, then it's more the reason not to spend it on airfare and immigration lawyers.

I'd say yes, I would prefer to spend as much time with someone as possible. 50 Miles or less I can handle, 75 is pushing it, anything more and you have to be a goddess for me to go that far. If that's the kind of distance you're refering to.

I think it is more about making a choice about how one wishes to live their life than just making a "restriction" I believe some people "limit themselves" because they'd rather bone their loved one when they feel like it instead of waiting 1, 2 or 3 months. Some people don't like or can't afford frequent flying (as mentioned before). Others would like to wake up next to their loved ones every morning and kiss them good night every night. What about people with children? I'm sure they'd like their other half there beside them every step of the way...the immigration process can be quite lengthy, lasting even years...Anyway, people are different. Some people like the space in LDR and possibly the opposite of everything I just said! indifferent

I view it as a "restriction" simply because, while it is a choice made by a person, you are also restricting yourself due to that choice. You'd like to do this but because of this other thing....it's just not possible. I understand we all make choices and we have to make the best one we can. For me, I tend to have an open mind cause of the things that don't tie me down. I'll make a new home base soon but it doesn't mean I have to stay. I can move around. Now, if I did have kids, of course that would change things. Anyways....yeah.....thank God for Capital One. Haha!

As a single mom, I consider distance.

I would never do the international thing again, other than as friends. Its too unpredictable what the governments of either country or their immigration rules might restrict. I thought my husband(ex) and I would have much easier time being 'together'. He was british. Immigration denied it, after three years of paperwork AND having a child together. I would never put myself or anyone else through that again.

I have to agree. I can't do the ldr thing. It's easier for me, if he is able to visit me every few days or so. I'm quite a physical person, so I will only date men who aren't far away. It just isn't for me. It would be easier to move in together too, when both in the same country. However, I admire people who can do the LDR thing. Plus I would feel odd leaving all my childhood friends and family. I'm too emotionally sensitive about missing people.
