Re: A new Long Distance Relationship...
Like any relationship it needs extreme commitment.
Things like distance, etc etc are all big things in general but minor things in the overall picture. Extreme commitment and PATIENCE compensates for everything.
IMHO.

This thread is going to helps me sleep tonight. Love it.
Inspi, dude, CHILL OUT! Who cares whether other people have had LDR and if they had worked or not. Know what you want and have a clear picture of what you need and keep yer fingers crossed!

Re: A new Long Distance Relationship...
I dunno if I'm too late in my reply...but speaking from experience, LDR is do-able. I was in a similar situation as you - I lived in Canada while the now-hubby lived in Europe. So ofcourse seeing each other regularly wasn't easy, esp. since I wasn't able to go see him. We had a long distance relationship for 1.5 years...and he'd usually come visit every 4 months or so. So yes, it'd be hard not being able to see each other for that long, but that didn't take away from the love we had for each other. If anything, it made us even more excited about finally being with each other. Just always remember to communicate well and to trust. Even if there's a few days of minimal communication - that's ok...you both are busy with your lives. So just be realistic about it and know that due to time differences and such, there will be times when you guys might not be communicating all the time, or he might be busy with work - don't feel down if that happens nor send excessive emails/nag him about it. I'm saying this moreso because I dunno how you are, but women seem to be more expressive and needy in that sense - wanting to talk on the phone for hours and such while men just don't do that. Having said that, in the beginning though, make sure you guys DO communicate a lot because this is your getting to know period and it's important to take a lot of time out for each other.
Also, there's skype, there's whatsapp (or if you can afford, int'l texting), etc...which makes it all a lot easier. Come up with different ways of communicating...like we'd take pics of things around us that were cool and send them to each other - it's nice to share those little things in your daily life.
And in no time, you'll be together. In the beginning, I used to wonder how I was gonna survive the 1.5 years, and now it's already been 2 months into our marriage. Time flies.
Re: A new Long Distance Relationship…
I’m in a long distance relationship right now. It’s only been 8 months but everything is still perfect.
I’ve had one other relationship in the past and that was also LDR. Things started fizzling out after about 3 months, so I was obviously skeptical about this new LDR initially.
The difference is that the new guy is very mature and committed. His communication skills are also amazing.
At first you will have a ton to talk about. But after the first few months you’ll have to get creative. Visit each other every 3-4 months. Send each other small parcels every few weeks.
We make sure that we FaceTime or Skype every weekend. I’m going to bake double chocolate chip cookies tonight and mail them to him tomorrow morning on my way to work 
It’s tough but it’s doable if you both agree on the goal and timeline.
Good luck!
