on 4/22/2009 I've been with this guy for almost 4 years on and off and people are constantly putting doubts in my mind as to whether or not he is faithful it's hard and I try talking to him about it and he seems to just jump down my throat it's making it hard for me to trust him he seems to keep things from me he says it's to protect me because he loves me. I miss him so much but he always seem preoccupied with other things it makes me wonder if he's going off me or whether I am good enough for him. I know he works hard and it's making me think I'm selfish when he's having problems/a bad/ long day/ he's at work etc and all I want to do is curl up in bed and talk to him on the phone am I being selfish?... He just seems to shut me out with 'I'm busy' he seems miserable and I have no idea why or how to help him, I love him so much but it shouldn't be this hard I need advise and if anyone can help me ple

on 1/9/2009 Mistrust is the greatest vice one can have. Your jealousy can overwhelm you. Distort the way you see things. Blur your perspective. It is the most potent of all poisons; your own love can blind you. This is the greatest danger to you and your relationship. If you become too clingy, if you are worried about that friend she is spending time with over the internet, she will pick up on it - and she will feel the mistrust. Just because she doesn't talk for hours on end with you like she used to, or doesn't say "Hi!" to you everyday anymore, does not mean she's forgotten about you. Hell, after a two year or so relationship, you're bound to begin taking each other for granted.
The night before i met my beuatiful girl for the first time, she was so sullen and tight with her words. I was afraid that she no longer wanted to meet me. I could not sleep. Paranoia seeped in. Why was she being so co

on 10/30/2008 My fiance and I are getting married in January, but us being long-distance has made things very hard.. The only time I really get to spend time with him is on the weekends, and on the weekends when i am with him he makes plans with his friends and they come over.. Is that not kind of odd? He see's them all week. I have no problem with his friends, I would just like to have my own time with him, and he doesnt understand why I dont want his friends there.. Am i crazY? oh yeah and we have been together for 2 years

on 7/16/2008 I made this LDR survey/poll. It lets you compare your LDR with others. Includes questions about how many miles apart you are, phone calls, frequency of visits, and how many of us worry about our bf/gf cheating while we're away. Here's the link http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/347366

on 12/15/2006 I've started a new relationship with a man that I met via an internet dating service. We have been corresponding for 4 months and things have progressively deepened since that first email exchange. He is currently stationed in Japan so we are both aware that we will not be able to meet in person until April 2007. It's hard because feelings have developed and neither one of us wants to feel like we're wasting time. He has confessed that sometimes he feels a little silly because he has concerns over whether or not I'll feel the same way once we meet in person. I want to reassure him and help him to let down his guard and open up but I'm not sure how.

on 6/30/2006 I'm in a long distance relationship. I've found that theres no key to it. How my relationship works; we talk every day, as if we were in the same city, but we just don't see each other as much until the weekend. If you have love you can make anything work. Just remember, time always passes by quickly.

on 11/22/2005 E-mail, call or write to each other. In order for a long distance relationship to work, you must be in contact on a daily basis.

on 11/22/2005 Don't sweat the small things. When you get aggravated about something he did, ask yourself, "Is this really going to matter tomorrow?" If the answer is yes, then you need to work it out. If the answer is no, forget about it and give him a long kiss.
