NICE GUY: Can long distance relationships work? Yes, if you’re a big dreamer

Can long distance relationships work? Yes, they can if you have tracking device embedded deep in the sex organs of each individual and a satellite video manning every move, or a jet to visit each other at least twice a week.

Otherwise, it cannot work.

Yea, I can see them nodding their head saying I am talking sh** again. But you very well know a long distance relationship cannot work, so shut up. It is over even before he/she flies or swims overseas. Give it two weeks for a male and six months for a female.

The fact is that we all need some physical intimacy, especially for men.  The sweet talks on the phone, emails every day, the affectionate emoticons on MSN and Facebook, aren’t enough. It gets boring and ordinary after a while.

We need to see, touch and feel all the time, and that’s where technology fails. Yes, it is possible to strip naked in front the cam and flash your boobs and get swef, or talk nasty on the phone but that still ain’t enough. We need to stick our bat in a wicket.  Watching you doing a mini-porn show does nothing much for us because many of us masturbate every day watching porn online, so what’s new? I mean we see you naked most of the time when we’re together, so it’s just stale. We’ll get off more with a girl we’re seeing for the first time.

In time, we grow bored of hearing the same *^&^%&^: “how was your?”, “Are you ok?”, “I had a good day”, “Baby, I miss you”, “Baby I love you”.  Shut the 8** up. That’s what some of us want to say sometimes. Imagine doing that for two years?

Everyone cheats in a long distance relationship. That’s a fact. If cheating does not take place, she will dump you for a next man or woman, or vice versa. So let no one fool you.

I remember I had an ex long ago. We were so in love. When I was leaving we cried. I thought my world crashed but we vowed to stay together until she can come over. My friends knew I was depressed but told me to stop because it was unnecessary, and that soon I will meet some hot chick to screw.

Of course, I protested, saying that’s bull*** and that I love my girlfriend; I would never do anything to hurt her. Well, it turned out that my friends were right. Less than three weeks later – after burning hundreds of dollars on phone cards and daily web cam stripping – I met a chick. We had sex and my girlfriend was history. Well, I did not tell her. However, she cheated too. I heard rumours shortly after I left that her granny caught her screwing a long-time ex of hers. I asked her about it and she denied it (of course you know women lie lol). Well, she later confessed she kissed her ex and nothing more. (Oh please; I’ll believe women when donkey grow wings).

It’s just that long distance relationships won’t work. I know a lot of people who are cheating in long distance relationship.

Today, however, I have a greater message for everyone: do not trust anyone who tells you that their girlfriend or boyfriend is overseas and they don’t think it’s gonna work. Most times that’s a trick. They will date you seriously and three years later when that so-called ex is back, the fire is re-ignited and you get dumped. It happens all the time.

A lot of people are going around telling people they are single, simply because they have a secret long distance relationship. And of course you fall victim because such cheaters appear to be truly single – but they are far from that.

So if you’re thinking about maintaining ties, stop fooling yourself and wasting time. I know it is summer when a lot of people reunite, screw and go back to the same crap, OR the time when people are preparing for a long distance relationship because their lovers are flying out later this year to start school.

But enjoy it while it lasts because even before you take the plane, his willy wally is already dipping into some sauce or her butter cup already has a spoon in it.

Alternatively, either may be getting friendly with a substitute so guard their feelings.

So peeps stop fooling yourselves about making it work. My advice is that if you love each other so much, prepare to move together and make a life. One in and one out won’t work.

A long distance relationship works when either party agrees to date anyone until they meet again.

See ya next week!

    Being in a long distance relationship is never easy, especially in the “bye bye, see you again part”. I was in a long distance relationship before so I knew the feeling, that feeling that your heart is being torn apart especially if he is walking away from you. My husband and I met 4 times before we finally closed the distance, and I must say that it was the best time of my life, to be with the love of my life. Open communication, be open with each other, trust each other and loyalty is the key to have a successful long distance relationship. Many people will discourage you and will say long distance relationship isn’t working but the truth is, it will work if you are both committed and And always believe in God and let Him be the center of your relationship nothing will go wrong. Just trust and be loyal with each other, it will be a happy ending.

    I will like to share my testimony to you all.i just got married to my husband about a year ago we start having problems at home like we stop sleeping on the same bed, fighting about little things he always comes home late at night, drinking too much and sleeping with other women out side.i have never love any man in my life except him.he is the father of my children and I don’t want to loose him because we have worked so hard together to become what we are and have today.few month ago he now decided to live me and the kid, being a single mother can be hard sometimes and so I have nobody to turn to and I was heart broken.i called my mom and explain every thing to her, my mother told me about Dr Jatto how he helped her solve the problem between her and my dad I was surprise about it because they have been without each other for three and a half years and it was like a miracle how they came back to each other.i was directed to Dr Jatto and explain everything to him, so he promise me not…

    I date a girl on social network, we never met and we never talk. we only chat with each other. i grow very fond of her. she’s beautiful and friendly. we’re cybor dating for like 3 years now. i never cheat on this relationship, i swear to God. but i’m not sure about her. she always show the picture of her and a dude hugging and kissing each other claiming that’s her friend. i feel that i’m stupid but, God, i love this girl. she still keep contacting her Ex. i feel awfully awful about this. all her guys friends are getting to hug her and kiss her and she might talk on the phone with some guys… her ex perhaps. but she refuse to talk to me. i feel like i’m an idiot for believing in her bull**** thing. she stated that she doesn’t want to give me her number because it’s like she giving me her body. do you know what i think? i think: what the f?! she gave her number to her guy friends and even talk to them, isn’t that the same as she giving them her body? maybe she take me for granted or just to entertain her on her free time.

    Great subject N Guy.
    Soulmates don’t cheat..
    If they do then they aren’t soulmates.
    Long distance relationships work .
    The truth is we are lopsided with our bias on sex before marriage.
    95% if premarital relationships end up in sex.
    That is why we fuss a lot about this adjective “cheating “.

    This whole article is the opinion of one man ladies, do not be fooled.I have been in a long distance relationship with the woman I love for over a year now and we do not even talk on the phone we just text each other.She is still married and is going through a lot when it comes to getting out of that.Who would I be to push her knowing that?I knew she was married when I got with her and while she did take some time away from her husband in order to spend time with me, they are still together.Do I think she lies to me when she tells me they are no longer intimate? It can be hard for me to swallow but I know how much she spends talking to me and how much she loves me so I have to take her word.I know I have been faithful this whole time because I have chosen to be.If I was going to sleep around then I would not be waiting for this woman to come to me.I would wait an eternity for who I truly love!Would any of you shallow and sex driven people do the same for someone you really loved? If you would not then it is not love.So if your long distance relationship does not work out then it is because of lack of love and commitment.The day I leave is if she ever tells me to move on with my life.

    This same dufus would cheat if the girl was living in his own hometown. Some people cannot see past the end of their own noses. He probably screws his new chic while crying about his long distance girlfriend hoping she isn’t being a cheat like him. We cannot expect fidelity from someone when we cannot be faithful ourselves.

      My and my fiance are in a long distance relationship and he was with another woman while lying to me regularly about it. I never cheated on him, but I just wish that instead of jumping on someone else first he would have just broken things off with me.

      Apparently she was just a booty call (though he claims he cares about her) and he wants to be with me, but unfortunately now I cannot trust him not because he had a need that needed to be filled, but when I asked what was going on with this woman he was seeing and talking to daily he lied about it. I could forgive the cheating. I cannot forgive the lying. My trust is broken and I do not believe anything he tells me.

      He clearly does not love me or he would have told me the truth from the beginning regardles of his claims that he wants to spend his life with me. Tough shit with lying comes consequences.

      I think that if you want to sleep around while you are separated then both parties need to agree to that up front. If one party cannot agree then you should break off your relationship. Otherwise lots of people get hurt. He hurt me, he hurt this other woman that claims to love him and he hurt himself. There you go…

    Me and my boyfriend have agreed to an open relationship. We met on a blogging website and grew close for 2 years, then met. now we are eachothers best friend/dating/open relationship. because he has school and I am stuck here with a house I just bought. we wont be able to be together for 2 to 4 years. So far we have made it 6 months, we call eachother all the time. Even though he can date he doesn’t he was a virgin before me. I know I dont want anyone but him. I was single 5 years before him. I had given up on dating, now all I see is him. I worry he has a lack of dating experience and sometimes mention how he should date. He seems offended when I bring it up. Some people can’t handle this kind of thing, bit in our case I think were doing just fine.. Both of us only want eachother. We both make sure the door is wide open if one of us wants to stray, that has really strengthened our foundation. By far this is the most stable relationship, with the most trust I have ever had. Oh and he is my best friend lol at this point I think if he wanted to have sex I could imagine him calling me to see what I think lol and honestly I would put money down that he would hope I said no. I on the other hand have no interest in anyone bit him for many reasons. making a blanket statement is a risky thing only a fool would believe one theory fits all. psssh get a real blogging topic cause you blew this one.

      I was in the same situation. he was my hignschool sweetheart and this was our third time dating each other. he went out of state to work. i thought he was my soulmate and swore neither would cheat. i never concidered it. a year later i found out he was cheating. broke my heart in a million pieces. im not saying your man will do it but it happens.

    In my opinion, life is more than sex. I have a long distance relationship too, and I’m a male.
    I don’t say that I don’t feel the urge to “touch, feel”, because I do. But for me trust and patience are more important. If you think that you have found what you are looking for, the girl of your dreams, a nice, beautiful, a magnificent girl, in who you trust and cherish, and she shows the same affection which you know it’s real (it’s hard to know, but not impossible), than you would be a fool letting someone else intervene in your love for that special person you found and who you know that you won’t find someone like her ever again (of course, people say they do, but it’s not actually the real thing, it’s just an illusion which they use so they can fill their “heart” with something).
    If you or your partner cheat on each other, than that is not love. Sacrifice an entire relationship for just some sex? Doesn’t sound like love to me. In love, you also suffer for the loved one. You wait if it’s needed until the last moment. Patience is more rewarded. The same goes for trust and any other feelings that should really exist in a relationship.
    I have found what I wanted. That is what I believe and I will have patience the same as this person has for me. :)

      Thank you. This really helped me.
      I know the man I love, is also in love with me, he wants to marry me, and he has told me I’m his one true love…but my far-away man stopped talking to me as much, so I get very nervous. I only hear from him once/week. I have asked him to talk to me more, but he said he is very busy. I know he loves me very much tho, so I believe him….even tho it still hurts

      I’m pretty much in your gf’s shoes. almost.. If there’s any advice I could give you that would be to break it off. Not because she’s a horrible person. But because she’s only human – she made a mistake. She feels horrible about it. It is horrible but it is only natural. I’m letting my bf go when I see him over Christmas. Don’t have the heart to do it over the phone. And I don’t think I live with myself if I ended up sleeping with someone. It might be the biggest mistake of my life. But right now I feel like it’s for the best.

      Dude im in a long distance relationship, we have been together for maybe 6 months long distance but 1 year and half overall! If she cheated on me even if it was 4 mins, i wouldn’t even think twice! Dump her, because if she could do it once , maybe she wont physically do it again but it doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be imagining, wanting to / emotionally cheating on you still. That is how my logic would go! you’re lucky she told you now deal with it the only way you can ! atleast you are not that guy that ends up staying with a girl who cheated on him because she never spillt the beans.

    i am in a long distance relationship. we are apart more than we see each other. we are both in out early 20s so pretty poor.. this is the second year. first year, I sacrificed making friends here and talked to him often. now its just going down hill faster everyday. It hurts cz I love him. but i’m not in love with him. he doesn’t turn me on. sometimes phone calls with him bore me to death. and in addition there’s this other guy who I think about a lot. him and I kind of hit it off. we didnt have sex. but the chemistry is too right that neither of us could stay put for too long. I know I got closer to this second guy cz i’m not attracted to my guy anymore. I’ve had crushes before. never got to the point where I lost my mind though. I probably am not making a whole lot of sense. But I really am confused as to figuring my life out….

    I’m a guy and I’d happily stay faithful in a longterm relationship. Then again, I only enter relationships if i feel like its going somewhere. I think the gender stereotype is wrong…i know far more women that cheat on their significant other than i do men that do the same. What boggles my mind is, when someone cheats, dont they think about how the other person they “love” feels?

    I think the issue is more human than gender-based. People need to trust eachother more, something that’s becoming rarer and rarer each day.

    • Robin
      January 20, 2013

      Of course they think about the other person! It doesn’t mean they can deny themselves the basic need of touch and intimacy. That is stronger than any ‘Oh, this is going to crush my SO.’

      And there’s no such thing as more women cheat than men. That’s utter bullshit. Both cheat equally because both are equally capable of cheating.

    Nice Guy is totally correct!! I have been in a long distance relationship with my bf. We’ve been apart for 2 year. the first year we don’t get tired of sending emails to each other but after that we kinda got tired and made ourselves busy. I remain faithful inspite of my busy schedules and i thought he was too because eventhough he’s busy he tries to call me twice a week. With that routine I thought nothing wrong is happening to our relationship. Im bragging my boyfriend to every friend I have saying that he’s not a cheater. But actually eventhough I thought that he’s really not cheating I prepared myself, because I know men are easily tempted.

    so his vacation came and we were both happy. I was planning to make a surprise anniv gift to him so I sort of checked his mail and fb account. to my surprise, he was cheating on me. chatting other girls. he have accumulated 3 chicks for less than a year!! it hurts a little because i was preparing for this but what hurts alot is that i was asking him if he cheated on me, he said he’s not. i showed him his chats with the other girls and he said he’s not doing anything wrong. Why man having a hard time admitting that they really have cheated?

    My heart breaks everytime i remember this event in my life. but inspite of this, I still accepted him because that’s a part of a relationship. All i know that once given a second chance, he will have a hard time doing it again because of guilt (because 7 years staying together he never cheated on me he was only been influenced by his evil peers there abroad).

    LDR will work only if both parties have broad minds.

  17. October 12, 2012

    The question is when entering a long distance relationship is WHO IS MOVING! that should be brought up within 6 months of dating and then plans should be set in..but reality is, no one wants to move and give up their job, apt, or whatever..its a big pain in the arse to start over again…so you just keep dating, hoping it will somehow work itself out..but bottom line is someone has to move and if you are lucky enough to do so, you may find that you both cant stand each other after a while and all those things you thought were cute at the beginning are now annoying..as in any relationship, long or short distance.

    Anyway, good luck to you all.

    I am currently in a long distance relationship of 6 months, knowing him for two and a half years, and I think this article is complete and udder bullshit. As some of the people have said already, if you base your relationship off love and trust it can work. Waiting all the time in between sucks a lot, but when you do finally see your other half, it’s like the world becomes brighter and more worth living. I think that long distance relationships are stronger than relationships where people see their loved one everyday. The distance really tests your love for each other. Just being able to wake up next to him is the best feeling in the world. As for sex, it is a major factor, but we do get by. For both of us, it’s not that big of a deal, we both like to masturbate and sometimes even send photos/videos. Yeah, I do miss having sex with him, but it’s not all about the sex for THIS relationship. It’s about letting our hearts and souls mend together as one emotionally.

    I agree on both counts but long distance can work I know it cannot work for me period…! and I’m not gonna front…sorry…I can probably stay 3 years or 4 years without a man on my own but to sit down trying to be faithful and wishing and hoping the man is probably being faithful to me …??? smh lol hmm I don’t know… what I know is this I know of a guy right now who is in a long distance relationship with a woman from his own country for 4 years she has the magic jack and she calls him like 5 times a day and he answers her and calls her honey and baby and explains to her exactly what he is doing and where he is (but not who he is with) he tells me she trusts and believes in him and won’t believe a word anyone tells her about him….(LADIES AND GENTLEMEN BLIND TRUST) and that can make a long distance relationship work..we can’t see or know what each other is doing behind out backs but we can hold on to the blind faith and trust that they are being faithful and of course we can convince them that we are also faithful just like my boyfriend does to his long distance partner…lmao to all those who believe it can work then hey …who am I to say otherwise…the woman on the other side in my trio thinks her man is faithful to her . We sleep together practically every night I pass him the phone when she calls and listens to him (While we cuddle) telling her that he is storing up everything for her and other nonesense talk and I do everything to keep from bursting out laughing..for some women want to believe everything a man tells us lmao at this one…

    I was in a long distance relationship for 11 months, we never cheated on each other. Now we have finally moved in with each other, its been 2 weeks. :) Whether or not individuals cheat, is up to how strong they are, and how committed they are also.

      It will work. The beauty of it all is love does not fail. The Bible says this in 1 Corinthians 13vs8. So if you are both true to each other and have real love and pray every night nothing will separate you. It’s hard no doubt but not impossible. It all goes down to how much you want to be together. Its not glamorous moving from relationship to relationship.

    Although i get so tempted, so much at times to dabble in uncommitted sex. I try my best to fight it though. At times i wonder if what he says is the truth when he admits that he is not cheating.

  32. Why????
    October 16, 2010

    i am sad to admit that i am in a long distance relationship, however as much as i would not like to admit it, what your saying has some truth to it. i am scared, because i am so in love with my boyfriend, but he is back home, while i am here in New York. I do believe that he is the guy that God created for me, but i have decided to leave our relationship in God hands. Although

    In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

    Of course there may be a few exceptions to short or long distance relationships. The reality is we live in a very sexist society and it is very difficult for people to remain faithful. Recently in the newspapers it states that last year divorce rate is 1:3. This is very appalling.

    I believe that couples should do their best not to allow long distance relationships. The temptations are much stronger and this is dangerous to the relationship. I would suggest that couples try to move together to accomplish their dreams. Some couples who are in close relationships, one or both partners may cheat. Long distance relationships are very challenging and this increases the chances of infidelity. Why would one risk his or her relationship?

    Practice temporary marriage, this is the solution to the issue.

    Long distance relationships work if you trust each other and you put God first. It’s difficult at times but you have to believe that things will work out at the end. I was in a long distance relationship that didn’t work because the man cheated on me and have two babies by two different women…he claims the long distance thing was hard on him as if it wasn’t hard on me. I have no ill feeling towards him. I see it as a lesson learnt..it wasn’t meant to be. I will no doubt try a long distance relationship again if the opportunity presents itself.

    HONESTLY MR. ‘niceguy’ i think you are an idiot. it is because of men like you, the world is swiftly craSHING INTO HELL. HOW ON EARTH CAN U WRITE SUCH AN IDIOTIC THING?! IT IS TRUE THAT IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT FOR LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS TO WORK OUT, BUT YOU SPEAK AS IF MEN AND WOMEN ARE JUST FILET MIGNON STEAKS, AND WE ARE ALL JUST WAITING AROUND TO SEE WHO GETS HUNGRY FIRST. YOU DON’T HAVE THE FAINTEST IDEA OF THE POWER OF LOVE. BUT I SUSPECT I AM THE NAIVE ONE IN ALL OF THIS BECAUSE I SEE SO MANY PEOPLE AGREEING WITH YOU UP THERE. LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS WILL WORK WHEN THEY ARE CREATED OUT OF A LOVE THAT WAS FUELED MY GOD. BUT SINCE MOST RELATIONSHIPS TODAY ARE BASED ON SEX AND MONEY…PEOPLE DON’T EVEN HAVE THE DECENCY TO AT LEAST PRETEND THEY NOT HAVING SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE. JUST LISTEN TO YOU SHOUTING,’WE NEED TO PUT OUR BAT IN A WICKET’. MEN NEED TO GROW UP AND STOP ALLOWING THEIR SEXUAL ORGANS TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEM. AND WOMEN NEED TO RECOGNISE MEN FOR WHAT THEY ARE, AND HOLD OUT FOR WHAT I GUESS YOU WOULD PROBABLY CALL A ‘PUSSYBOY’ (a christian man who loves you and will appreciate you and support you and will wait to have sex with you because he loves you) BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT, AT THE END OF THE DAY…YOU AND YOUR ‘PUSSYBOY’ WILL NOT GO HELL like ‘MR. NICEGUY’ AND HIS PARDNERS.

    Well, well, well….Mr. Nice Guy, you are so wrong…..whatever you want to make work, will work. I was involved in a long distance relationship for four years before getting married and i’ve been married for eleven years now. My husband and I have two kids and we are a happy couple.

    Like previously stated by others, it’s not easy (nothing is) but you have to give it your best shot and of course there were times when we both strayed (but it happens when both parties are together and even share the same household). At the end of the day, both parties have to be honest and true and it will all work out. It boils down to commitment and honesty — without these two, IT WON’T WORK, LOCAL OR LONG DISTANCE.

    of course there are a few that work but the majority doesnt people! And out of the few that do work how many of the men in that relationship kept their pants up.. can u as a woman put your 100% certainty and trust in that! Oh please, and those in these so called long distance relationships make sure u both do STD tests everytime he or she comes back to prevent any passing along of those diseases, trust FACTS not Fiction people! Atleast then u will know u are safe!

  43. get your facts straight
    July 26, 2010

    No offense Mr Nice Guy but plz get your facts straight. The points you brought foward are not concrete and substantial. You need back up when making such statements.

    Also I’ve been in a long distance relationship for 4-5yrs now and its working perfectly. I can tell you its difficult and frustrating. There are times all you want to do is end the relationship but then u think of how much you love each other and its enough motivation to keep it going. Persons involved in L.D relationhips need to know that its committment and communication that keeps it going. In light of this I can surely say that L.D relationships can work.

    I don’t think it can work…why because I was in one for over a year and it ended up falling apart. A person can end up forgetting about there relationship and finding other attractive because it is true people need physical intimacy. The phone talks can be good but after a while gets boring. It’s better to find a mate closer to home so these situation don’t ever have to go down…

    Interesting Nice Guy!

    Here are my thoughts:::: From a lady POV (point of View) Ladies are more trustworthy and will give up everything for what they believe in. Therefore if they are in a long distance relationship we tend to believe that because we are faithful our guys will and are doing the same. The truth is most of the time thats not the case. Studies show that guys are more prone to cheat than woman are!

    Guess its in their DNA ladies, perharps we can’t blame them. Am gonna challenge us all to do alittle homework on female and male- find out how often does the mind sway to sex and intimacy, i bet you men would have the higher percentage – thats one their mind 24/7 365! thats why it HARD for them to keep in thier pants! no pun intended.

    Ladies am not excusing you either! some of us, need a guy present to define us and once that one is not there we would settle for the sloopy secords! come on you know its a fact! In reality Long distance can work if both parties are truly in hands, foot, mind, soul excluding body! LOL. Technology will have to babysite in the interim.

  53. I agree--NOT
    July 24, 2010

    Of course a long distance relationship isn’t going to work if the persons involved are immature, have no morals, lack character, and have low self esteem. I say low self esteem because when any likkle somefing look at you and make sweet eyes for you it making you feel like big man or big woman and you wnat to jump in bed with it, You doing that with no regard for how your girlfriend or your boyfriend will feel and the diseases you can bring for them. So, if that’s who Mr. Bad Guy talking about, then I agree that LD relationship don’t work.

  54. July 24, 2010

    ok.so whats the differnt between short distance and long distance relations..
    ur wife or husband can be living in same house with u and cheating with the guy next door.
    i do believe any relationship can work..they both require patience, trust, love, faith, hope and GOD.
    i am in a long distance relation for five yrs i study and my fiancee works..its our life now, but after my studies i intend to migrate to meet him.and it works just fine..i dnt put any negative thought in my mind nor does he…i dnt try to assume, yet am not being naive to the fact that we can both falter along the way..but when i think of what i hve with him, thngs we have been thru, cheating is not worth it..NO ONE SAYS IT WAS GONNA BE EASY, BUT IT IS WORTH IT..mr. nice guy stop being so bais in ur atricles , have a lil faith , u seem to be very against women in most of ur articles…while some relations dnt work there are some that really sacrifice to make it work…

    It did not work for you and others, because of the Trust, Love and Will that was lacking in the Relationship, but they do work.

    Yes there are a few exceptions, but we cann’t let them to deter us.

    So what about the Short Distance Relationships? I mean home, around home. Do they work too?
    Whether Long or Short Distance Relationship, its your ingredients you put into it to work!

      A good woman, will only fall in love with a good man.
      My far-away man is faithful, because I’m the best piece of “azz” he has ever seen, (and he doesn’t want to lose a girl who wants to have sex, 5 times a day, for the rest of her life. )
      I love him, and He loves me, he wants to marry me, I’m his true love.

    What more needs to be said he is on point. May be some men or women can tell us the amount of Horns they got from their long distance lover.Case in point my friend was shocked to learn his long distant christian girlfriend who promised him that by the grace of God only death can separate them. Little did he know whenever his girl friend was on the phone talking to him and calling God`s name in vain and at the same time she was siting on my friend`s wood geting jacket up. I guess God was my friends name. IF the walls could talk lots of people would drink some jesus juice to the end. So my friends keep dreaming while i keep your girl satisfied with some honey. Look in the mirror. Horns, Horns, on them.

    Sometimes the emotional feeling you get in the absense of the person you are dating long distance can be very filling, simply because it is not ful-filled, and the anxiety is really about how much you cherish the memories you’ve had, especially if when you all were together it was really real. But so what, we all seem to have a need to be told the things we need to hear from time to time, whether on the phone or through othter electronic means. If circumstances have brought it to that level. Love knows no distance, and while trust is best displayed through transparency, the conversations themselves have a way of revealing how far you are willing to go with the person you cannot see.
    In the end we all know if it was trully mean’t to be. True love never dies.

My friend who was driving girl friend saw an icecream truck and requested her boyfriend the driver to stop to purchase it for her. What she did not know where the icecream truck was parked infront of a shop my friend had a girlfriend in there too. My boy was quick with his response and kept on driving.
    You are wondering what was his response tothe icecream response! lol
    He told her in D/can parlance ” when we coming back” She said okay. It’s beem many many years . I met this girl in England she still does not have a clue. You can imagine me and another friend in the rear of the vehicle try to contain our laughter!

    So irrespective of whether you are in the same bed or thousands of miles apart the long and short of it is, do you trust each other.

    it takes alot of patience, communication and trust and prayers..I always use to pray to god that if this relationship was meant to b let it be..
    AS I always say if a man really wants u there is nothing or no distance that will keep this man from being with u…
    So to the people who r in a long distance relationship dnt let this article discourage u..

    90% of what is written here is true. The 10% is the exception to the “assumed” general rule. There are those of us women who fight tooth and nail to make the long distance relationship work by doing all there is to do. We remain faithful, we come home often, we don’t do certain things just so we can maintain our faithfulness, and then the males give u the kick u deserve for being a darn fool!!! They move on to women who cannot compare to you on any level and you are left wondering “was it even worth it?” It is left to reason therefore that long distance relationships work because both parties may WANT them to work, whereas those which fail do so because one party or both DID NOT want them to work!

The distance between them has nothing to do wit cheatin and whether or not their relationship will work

I will not say it was easy and I cannot say for a fact that he was 100% faithful but I trusted him, but I know I was (100% – not even a kiss or anything with another man). I even got disaccustomed to sweffness after a while. So, there is an exception to every rule and just because it happened to you Mr. Nice Guy, doh pass your stress on the rest of us.
