long distance relationships suck...

Anyone here in a long distance relationship or have been in one for a period of time? if so, how did you manage?

I dropped my girlfriend off at the airport today after she came to see me for a few days, and as soon as i did i got this really empty feeling and felt really depressed(happens everytime we become apart again)
I've always been in check with my emotions but its just too much to handle sometimes. I came home today and just slept all day and daydreamed
I know she goes through the same exact thing, but i never really realized how difficult a long distance relationship could be. She's stuck in Atlanta for another month at least, and for the past 4-5 months(most of the time we've been together) it's been long distance..we see each other maybe once a month for a few days.

To make things even harder we both really love each other and we connect on every single level(physically, mentally, spritiually etc)...neither of us has ever been in a relationship anywhere as intense as this and i've never seen a connection like we have in anybody.If i didn't care about her, i'd probably just cheat on her or have another girl and not make a big deal about it, but it's not that way especially when you realize the other person is a once in a lifetime meeting and they're just as much into you and loyal.
The whole situation is just crazy and has really fucked with my head, i've never felt so weak and empty...i just think God has a fucked up sense of humor.
 
You sound quite genuine with your words and feelings, and with your description of her, she sounds just as genuine, this experience is to test you both, I believe you will both pass the test, I understand why it "sucks" for you but if you both remain loyal and keep it true then this will be nothing, live your life, don't feel depressed - it does nothing for you, don't feel empty - that leads to nothing, be happy you two have each other and are part of something that many folks would like to be part of, good luck to you both, stay positive, you are what you think. peace

thanks bro...you are 100% correct in your assessment when i think about it, and i appreciate the words of encouragement. It definetely brought me up from the mood i was in earlier. its crazy how a few words can put a different spin on things. thanks again
 
...all things work out for the best in the best of all possible worlds.
 
They suck. I got sent to Okinawa for a year. The distance, plus the time zone difference really made it hard to keep in contact all the time. Then we drifted. Ended shortly there after.
 
IMO they just don't work. I have never been in one and would never put myself in the postion to be in one. I have seen far to many crash and burn with friends.

Which is why you should just move to Philly with a 2 year lay over in NC. We'll fix that whole being Maple Leafs fan as well.

Can't blame me for trying. Please don't say love and leafs together, though. It's awful. Just wrong.

Baby it is oh so right! :qt:

My cousin married a girl from Canada. Think she was from Toronto region. I was supposed to go there for the Hockey Hall of Hame in highschool for my teams trip, but they cancelled it. Never did get to go up there. :(

It's still wrong to say love and leafs together.

Also calling me baby will do nothing, but earn you brownie points.

I need to save up my leave, but I'll hold you to it. I'll wear a Flyers jersey every single day that I'm there just to get a stir. :)
 
I was once with a chick that I felt as strong about as you feel about yours. We were each others soul mate. Well, I got this job that sent me to Florida for several months, so we turned into a long distance relationship. It was tough, we would call each other on the phone, I would lay there at night hugging my pillow wishing it was her that I was hugging, etc.... She even flew in for one weekend and we had the most romantic time of our relationship. So I understand what you are going through. I didn't cheat either becasue I was so "in love". Well, finally I came back home and we were happy. About a month later we broke up. Things had changed in those months that I was away. Now I feel like a chump for not banging a chick or two when I was in Florida. We still consider each other soul mates, even though we're not together. Funny thing is, I haven't seen her in a couple of years, but I still talk to her frequently (through the soul).

Good Luck!

You can wear your Leafs jersey and I'll wear my Flyers one. Then we'll reinact game 6 of this year or if you wish game 7 of last year.

Oh yes...I went there. ;)

my experience of them's a little extreme but they do suck. maybe if you've been together a few years and you can trust her 100% & the communications really really good it'll work out but otherwise not worth the heartache.

sorry about hijacking the hijack :)
 
It's tough on the emotions. At some point someone has to be willing to move to be with the other person. When both have obligations and things holding them back, well........... it's just hard.

Don't consider it hijacking the hijack. Consider it taking back the post. Before me and QT get labeled we did add to the post before we took over.

I agree...they can't be maintained forever
it's only temporary in my case which is the bright spot.....but it definetely alters everday life. whether reminiscing on being with that person or whatever.....definetely have been a different person since

ive been through it, and will never do it again...
too straining on my emotions
basically my philosophy is that if its only temporary, then do your best to stick with it, but you simply cannot maintain a relationship with a permenant physical gap between the two of you
