      I have been in an LDR for 9 months now. Right now it looks like we won't close the distance until December 2013 after I graduate. That would be 2 years into the relationship. I do not think I could wait over 2 years @_@ My SO is thinking about closing the distance sooner, but right now just looking at next December.

        We've been LD over half of our relationship, and we've been together for almost 21 months (rapidly approaching the 2 year mark!!). We started CD, and were CD for about 5.5 months, LD for about 3, CD for 4, and have been LD again for 9. Total LD time is up to 12 months, and we'll probably be LD at least another 4. Honestly I have no idea how long we'll remain LD, but I know that I don't want to do it for much longer. I don't think I could handle being LD for more than a 1.5 years. When we talk about marriage it's not "if" it's "when" (been that way for a while now), and we know we don't want to be LD once we're married.

        2017 Goal: Pay off credit card debt
        Progress: Working on it.

          We've been LD for just over 2 years now. We have about another year (could be less) to go before we'll be able to close the distance despite being married (in May). The joys of international relationships and the need to get visas! When we first got together, I told him no more than 5 years. Luckily, it'll be much shorter than that.

            We have been LD for 1 month, 1 week and 4 days. We're newbies! We were CD for nearly 9 months before LD, and the distance will carry on for about 3 years (we're looking at May of 2015). Otherwise it could be up to 6-7 years, which is WAY too long for us, and I hope this is not what we have to do. There is a possibility I could get there in 2 years, but I haven't looked into it too much. The sooner, the better.

              If memory serves me, and it may not because I'm uncaffeinated, DauntedPoet probably has the longest recorded LDR on this site. They've been official for like.. 5 years? But were in love for something like five or more years before they decided to get on with it, LDR the whole time, still going strong. Pretty inspirational.

              For Obi and I we didn't meet in person for just under five years, but we weren't official and I think that made it easier. Our time actually dating and being LD was pretty short, because once I know what I want nothing stops me from getting it haha, so we were LD for under a year technically.

                LD for about 2 years. Almost the whole time we were in an open relationship.

                  We met in July of 09 and have been together since Sept 09, so just over 3 years. It's been LD the entire time. There are things that prevent us from closing the distance and at this time we have no ETA on when we can do that. The time frame isn't what drives me crazy it's that we haven't got to met in person yet. Something major always comes up. I don't think I could ever give up on our relationship because of the distance or time honestly. We are really hoping for a early 2013 visit so hopefully that works out but if not it won't stop us. Yes this isn't ideal but when the alternative is not being together this is the way it will be.

                    HAHA! That is so me! I think that was one of the biggest adjustment with this whole LDR thing... The fact that I couldn't just go and get what I want!! (If I didn't have children, I would have moved there a long time ago...)
                    First met online: June, 2010
                    First met in person: August, 2011 (See the story of our first visit)
                    Second visit: December, 2011 (Christmas and New Years together!)
                    Third visit together: August, 2012
                    Fourth visit: December 2012 (Christmas and New Years together!)
                    Fifth visit: July 2013 (2 weeks here in Canada)
                    Sixth visit: December 2013 (Christmas and New Years together again and I finally met his mother!)
                    Next visit: Unknown... for now but coming up ASAP

                      So far, I think we've spent a total of 19 out of 25 months long distance. We probably have another year or two to go. I personally can't do more than 3 more years of it.

                        We've been long-distance 3 years now and have another 2 on the way >.>

                        Honestly that's about as much as I can seem to handle right now, I know when the time comes and for some reason we had to extend again I know I could do it, been there done that, kinda thing so I dunno how long I could actually go.

                          We've been LD for about two years (it'll be two years Nov. 17th) and are looking to approximately close the distance in about a year and a half. I don't think we could handle more than 5 years. Then again, I didn't think I'd ever last any amount of time in a LDR so I mean.

                              We've been long distance for 7 3/4 years. It's really getting to the point for me where it's just too long. I have a lot of other stress in my life at the moment and I feel like I just don't have the strength to deal with it anymore. We've had a lot of different struggles to push through this last year which hasn't helped, but we'll see how it goes. Not very inspirational I know but think I'm just in a bad place right now.
