Hi ipaully,


I don't think you're crazy to think that a long distance relationship can work.

You are not crazy for thinking this could work.

I have several friends who are married to or in serious LTRs with men they dated long-distance (two couples actually "met" via Ivillage boards!).

thank you all for your input. my friends/family are all negative about it (probably b/c they don't want me to move) & making me think i must be crazy for even cinsidering a long distance relationship. but he seems nice and genuine, so i guess i'll just see where it goes.


And thanks kristy

Dont listen to these people. You know they are being selfish.

I also believe long distance relationships can work as long as they don't become stagnant.

I met this guy a year and a half ago... we has great sex and then a month after the relationship started and I had made many trips to his house... 80 miles... he said he wasn't ready for me... well about a year later he calls back and says he's wanting to see me. I have been seeing him for about 5 months now and things are going ok.

Its an opportunity to develop couple skills - i.e. communication, empathy, romance building - that will keep you in good stead when you finally live in the same city!

First of all, have you voiced these concerns with him?
