    A Newbie in Going the Distance

    Hello everyone,

    let me just say one thing first before I introduce myself.
    Thank god that you are all here!!!
    I have been 'stalking' this website since 3 months looking for advice, looking for ideas, looking for comforting words. And I found everything.

    However, I thought it would be just fair to everyone to finally say hello and let you know who I am.

    Where to begin...
    I am German, live since 4 years in London, and I met my American boyfriend while working in a German Pub just minutes away from Westminster Abbey.
    Long story short... we fell in love, we moved in together, we enjoyed spending time together.
    After a about 15 months, my boyfriend moved back to NYC to start his own business and I was left 'behind' in London. To be fair... I have to finish my studies and I will, hopefully, graduate in July 2012.
    So, since 3 months we are having a Long Distance Relationship and it is hard!!! I mean, I am not an easy person by any means and I think I make this whole thing a lot more difficult by being difficult. But this is why I am here... to listen and talk to people who have much more experience in this.

    The past 3 months definitely had their ups and downs and my boyfriend and I just went through a rough phase the past week (communication issues) and this time I thought I will register here and make sure to decrease the number of fights I had the past 3 months. I love my boyfriend very much and I do not want to make it harder as it is already. But enough about that

    I also want to be there for others and help as much as possible, find friends here to support each other.

    Yeah... so this is me
    I am looking forward to get to know you better!

    Maren

            A girl I know named Maren looks a bit like you, I was a little taken aback by your picture at first

                              yeah for not stalking anymore! Welcome!! I used to live in Germany but that was over 12 years ago now and I am originally from NYC I too came to this site looking for support as I worked through being in a LDR. We also just went through a small rough patch with a couple nights of arguing....it wasnt easy and I hated it!! But I hope we can both find support here
