How many LD's have you been in?

[Snap]

This is my 2nd. I swore after my first LDR that I would NEVER be in one again, but life had other plans for me.

My SO was my first and only LDR. I would never do it again if something happened and we broke up.

For some reason I feel really ashamed to admit this, but I've been in two long distance relationships. The first one I was in started out as your typical relationship and life took him away from me. Standing by him through everything I did, sadly, was probably not the right thing to do, but I'm glad I did it. When that relationship was over, I swore to myself I would NEVER be in a long distance relationship again. I even dumped a boyfriend who lived about an hour bus ride away from me after I had moved because it was just too much work for the both of us.

When I met my now boyfriend, I knew I had to give it a shot if he was willing. My whole life I had this man in my head, who I wanted to be with but thought I would NEVER find, and I did find him. I didn't want to lose that and I'm so glad I held on for as long as I did since I have the opportunity to be with him now and I feel like this relationship is it for me. There are days where I wish, obviously, we weren't long distance, but I wouldn't trade my boyfriend for any other man in the world.

The one I currently have is my first LDR and it's a serious one, so I hope it's going to be my last one, too.

This is my second LDR. My first boyfriend (well, the first serious relationship) lived in a town about 2 hours away from my city. Nowadays I wouldn't even think of it as being LDR but we were 16 at the time, no car or money, so best we could see each other was every other month. It lasted for a year and a half. We just gradually fell out of love with each other.

I realized I never answer the question myself.. I just voted. My current SO is my only long distance relationship, though I would have had one in 1998 but I discovered very quickly that he was a 'Lothario' before I was emotionally invested.

This is the first LDR for both my SO and I

[WakeUpSusie]

We're not LD anymore, but my current relationship was my only long distance one. And it will be my last because we're engaged to be married in September.

I wouldn't do long distance for anyone except him.

This is my 4th and it wasn't that I looked for them, it just turned out that way. lol

My first was local first then moved out of state for work. My next SO was military and overseas or under them most of the time. I went to see him in Italy, it didn't end well but I have no regrets. He is a good guy and will be happy one day and then he can have a relationship. My sort of bf after that was local and also military. He worked a lot and had kids so we barely saw each other but talked daily. That ended for a reason and I knew it wouldn't last. I was tired of the excuses for not making time to see me. I have no ill feelings towards him either, we dated a few mths so it wasn't anything serious. We did get along well and started out as friends in a sense too.

My current SO and fiancee lives and works overseas. He isn't military but govt contracted I guess. He can't really discuss his job so I don't ask about it. I know what he does but not fully. He comes home a few times a year and we started as friends and now we will end up married. I'm very happy. I don't mind the distance at all. I know it's not permanent and it's worth a few yrs so that we can have a life time together. It's not easy at times but we talk every day so that is helpful. He will be home in a month maybe sooner so we shall see. It is funny how we were friends for a year before we ever mentioned how we felt. It started when he came home one time last year. He was always there for me and aways a good friend. He never let on how he felt and I liked that, he was respectful. Things worked out greatly and I am very happy.

Each relationship I have had that was LD was very different. The relationship arrangement and communication was also very different. I have always told people that it can work it just really depends on how much you want it to and the arrangement with your partner. My fiancee and i communicate daily in one way or another. Because of his hours and job he can call me at anytime of the day or night. I usually know his schedule so I don't mind the late calls, if it's how we have to talk. I fall right back asleep. He is worth it, nobody has ever been so sweet to me. It's nice to get everything I give out reciprocated. He makes me very happy.

Only this one! Holland is really small!

(To compare: Utah is like 5 times as big as The Netherlands.. )

*EDIT*

Omg.. totally forgot about Fluffy! Hahahaha Fluffy was also a guy that I met in America.. I called him Fluffy because he was a little bit overweight, but I didn't mean it in a bad way.

I met my SO in 2005, but I only saw him once that year, when I went back to the Ranch that year there was this other guy, Dennis.. Totally wrong guy! But the face of Orlando Bloom.. But he adored me right from the start.. And there was chemistry.. Nothing ever happend but when I went back to Holland we wrote e-mails every day and called a couple of times for like a month.

The things he told me... No guy ever told me how much he loved me and stuff.. I was kinda swept off my feet because of it... But I was young and naive... After a month he kinda got weird on me, one day I didn't e-mail him because my computer broke. He send me 3 e-mails why I didn't respond to him... and if I was mad at him? Really crazy insecure stuff. I told him everything was ok, but that my computer broke... The next day he told me that he didn't had a lot of time to write me and that he promised that he would write later on that day..

Untill this day... I never heard of him again..

He left the Ranch.. and later on I heard he went to Vegas.. but like I said.. never heard of him again..
