How many long distance "relationships" do you have?

[Verojoon]

Yesterday, as I was out for coffee to say good bye to my best friend who is if moving to Seattle at the end of the week, I said to her to not worry, she would still be my best friend, I am used to long distance relationships after all... and this is is when I realized that most of my relationships are long distance!

My mother lives 6 hour away, my sister (whom I am close to) also lives 6 hours away, my father (who I am not close to) lives 2 hours away, My aunt is moving to Colorado at the end of October to close the distance with her boyfriend (she was my only family in town I saw semi-regularly), my boyfriend lives in Texas...

It seems that more than half my closest relationships, are all long distance! It's kinda depressing!!

Anybody else have this type of situation?

Well since I recently moved to CR most of my relationships are LD! All my friends back home, my family, etc. But of course now I have new friends and family here. Always half of my relationships will be LD, can't be in more than one place at once.

My family is all long distance-I'm in Virginia, my dad's currently working in Canada, my mom's living in California (so they're in a LDR too!!), my sister is in Colorado, my boyfriend & his family (practically my second family) is in Indiana... but since graduating college a number of friends have moved all over the country, so I have friends in probably half of the US. Not too many international friendships, though. (At least, not outside of LFAD! )

I've had a lot of long distance friendships/relationships but with time a lot of them have faded. I've lived abroad off-and-on for the last 5-ish years (consistently for the last 3). My most important LD relationships are with my mom, my dad, and my brother. Besides that, I maintain pretty close LD relationships with a few friends, my extended family, and my in-laws. And then most of my acquaintance relationships have faded to facebook or the rare phone call only.

I have a couple close long-distance friendships, one in Canada and one in Idaho. We've been friends for 7-8 years. I have a good friend that I met here, even if we haven't known each other for as long yet. I meet and talk with a lot of people online, though admittedly, most friendships fade out, but there have been a few that have lasted years. If a couple hours counts, I'll be long distance with my family once I start grad school, but I can't say I count a couple hours as long distance.

I have a couple of relatives and such that are living far away, amongst them my uncle and my cousin + his kids that live in Australia. Even so, we see each other about once a year, even though it's only my uncle and his wife coming around those times, met my cousin for the first time ever last Christmas when we went there! Also have a bunch of friends spread out across the world, including one in England, another one in Thailand, one in Norway... Then a few relatives living a few hours away as well, but that doesn't really count as long distance

Well there is the one that has led me to this site ( XD ), then there are a few friends that I have met online and gotten to know over the years (some I have been friends with 3+ years or so by now), and my sister, whom I see all the time and talk to quite a bit, is moving across the state for a while tonight. So, I have a few. The only ones that actually get to me at times are the one with my so, and the one with my sister will too eventually because I'm used to having her around.

My brother moved overseas first for his studies, then for a job. It's been 7 years now that he moved away and that's the longest running LDR I'm in.
My best friend also lives abroad, we've known each other for just under 5 years and have been long distance all the while.

I'm currently LD with my family and several of my friends.

I'm LD with my family and a couple friends back home but we do lots to keep in touch. I skype with my parents, grandparents, ,friends occasionally. Write letters to my one friend all the time (more then I ever did with my SO!) and I find even playing draw something is a good way to connect even if there is no talking involved.

Seeing as how I just moved myself to China alone, ALL of my relationships are LD lol

[lademoiselle]

The people I consider to be my closest friends at this point in time don't live where I can see them on a regular basis!

lol I was actually going to make a thread like this myself.

I have my best friend who lives in California ( he husband is in the air force so they move around a lot )
then there is my other best friend who lives in Tipp City, ( same state tho but a little ways away )

Then once I move to PA everyone except my boyfriend will be long distance from me.

Ive already decided that after I move and get a job I'll be sending my Sister stuff for her kids ( my nieces are so cute and I want to make sure they know who their aunt Sharon is XD )
