@lilgrizzlygirl: I'm in a similar situation right now.
FI and I have been together for 7 1/2 years. We lived together for 3 years.
In march he was transferred to the UK for work.
So since March we've been long distance wedding planning. Between time zones and long distance calling rates, it's tough.
After the wedding I will be moving there. So not only are we wedding planning long distance, I'm also charged with all the apartment packing.
Im there too! We live 3 hours apart now. I hate it. I see him once a month but at least get to talk to him 2 hours a day. I am doing all our wedding planning over the phone. The worst part is that it probably won't change much even after we are married. He will work away and only come home weekends. Waaaaahhhhaaaaa!
im kind of in a long distant relationship, i see my partner for for 4 weeks then i dont see him for 6-8 weeks and that means no phone calls just emails when he can. our first year together i saw my FI for 3 months and thats it.
I feel for colleewoggs, if you need to talk happy to listen =)
I'm about to be in one. I'm going back to college an hour and a half away from FI. Not super far, but he's going to school to be a paramedic (very intense and time consuming), and has a full time job and a part time job. I'm taking 18 credits and hoping to find a weekend job so I have no idea how often I'll get to see him :( Of course we'll Skype a lot but we're both so busy I'm not sure we'll even have much time for that. I can't wait until he's done with school, we're married, and living together!
@lilgrizzlygirl: Yes! We live about 3.5 hours apart. He applied for a job, and it was a great opportunity to get on board with a big company, so I was all about it. We've been doing long distance for a year and have about 6 months to go. If gas prices weren't so darn high, we'd probably see each other more. It really stinks, but it'll be worth it in 6 months when we're finally together and he's making decent money...at least that's what I keep telling myself. And luckily I'm driving to see him tomorrow! YAY!!
@Earlybride: i wish, mine is going to last for another 10-15 years max and ill be shipped around the country too.
My fella is in Albuquerque and I'm in Europe. He's having his final garage sale to sell the rest of his stuff and move home to his parents while I do the remodelling that needs to be done here before he can move over. I do miss his presence, just being together but Skype is a lifesaver. We spend hours and hours on skype talking. I try to take it in stride and know it's only for a time. I spent May with him. Before that he was here for a week in September. The next time should be a charm, but exactly when we can make it happen is still up in the air.
@choolove: Eww. That would suck. He can call during the day, but since he works night's daytime is for sleeping. Boo.
It's so frustrating. He's 13 hours away and even if I could afford to fly there (800 round trip) there is no place to stay, no hotels, and his 'apartment' is about 5 ft by 8ft...BOO!
Hang in their ladies. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.

I am COUNTRIES AWAY!..
* cries * and I wont even see him for the nxt 7 months. So mine just sucks!
Yes it does suck, sometimes I get really upset. I am better now though, I've had time to get used to it. We're been doing long distance for almost 4 years now from across the country (different time zones SUCK) I just keep thinking that it's only temporary. Soon we'll be together all the time :) and yes, video chat ia AMAZING! Finding time to use it however.. that's tough. He's always so busy with his last year at the Naval Academy, which I am trying to understand but it can be frustrating. I just miss him!
I've been in a long-distance relationship my entire 2 years of knowing my fiance. We only get to see each other for at most 5 days every month to month and a half. It's been extremely hard, but of course he's worth every bit of it. Unfortunately, the majority of our wedding plans will be long distance as well, and we'll finally be together 3 months before we actually get married!!
One thing my mother told me I should do before I get married is to make a list of all the reasons why I chose him to share my life with. It's supposed to be for rough spots in the marriage, but it's really helped remind me why the long distance is going to be worth it in the end. :)
We've been in a long distance relationship for almost a year; he's in California while I'm in New York. Wedding planning without him stinks and of course not seeing him on a regular basis isn't ideal. But the way I figure it is that we're going to have our whole lives together and that's all the more to look forward to. So I'd rather be excited about having our lives together in the future than be sad about the present and temporary absence.
Yup - I just got back from the states where I was visiting my OH and I won't see him for 6.5 weeks. Our LDR will end at the latest in July after our wedding, I would prefer before then but I don't know if it will be possible. We have been doing LD on and off for the 8 years we have been together. It sucks, I miss him so much and it hasn't gotten much easier as time goes on :( at least it is some comfort to know other people are in the same boat!
I totally understand! We have been together for a year and one month and throughout that whole time we have been apart for 5 months of it. It has been 3 months since I last saw him and it will be another 6 months until I see him. It is soooo hard! and it does cause a lot of frustration but I know it will be worth it in the end. It's just really hard. We can't go on dates. And we can only talk about an hour each day, maybe up to 3 if we can, but that's through Skype or e-mailing or texting. We don't get to hear each other's voice everyday or see each other everyday. We can't do anything together and I miss him sooo much. But I guess I kinda knew it'd be hard in the first place. Always heard it but never knew until I was in one myself.
@al1988: I feel for you. I won't see my fiance for another 6 months. It is the hardest thing especially in different time zones. With the recent time change he's only an hour behind now, but before it was two hours. It is hard, but it'll be worth it.
My fiance and I just got engaged. He is moving in August 2012 and we will be about 8 hours apart until our wedding in June 2013.
Ladies ladies! I get all of you!
My Fiance and I are-- COUNTRIES apart. our wedding is this June ( YAY! ) But This June would bee EXACTLY ONE YEAR we did NOT see each other. Yup. I havent seen my fiance for over 6 months -- and now waitin for another 6 to get it over with. Its terrible!!! and I hate it. and we dont talk as much as Id like- cuz of time zone differences.. I hate it, I cry, And we fight at times.. and Im so sad.. :( but Ill suck it up for another couple of months till were finally together.. * sigh*
good luck to all LDR bees!
Wow we have it easy compared to some of you. We had 3 months where he was at sea with no contact. At the minute he's away Mon-Fri and home most weekends. We chat everyday. Next year he will be in stationed in Florida for a few months. Not exactly sure when / how long for. But we should be able to Skype everyday, and hopefully I'll get to fly out and see him once.
Yea I miss him, and feel lonely sometimes as I'm basically living on my own, but it makes our time together more special.
@Mrsgurzakovic: if you don't mind me asking, why are you not able to visit each other? Good luck to you too!!
Almost 8 years now we've been 10,000 miles apart. It totally sucks :( i feel your pain
but for us were almost always connected with Skype and text so I know it could be worse:) Last time we were together was 2 years ago but he will be here again in 15 days!!!
@Dec-bride: sorry I don't want to ask anything too personal, but I'm just AMAZED by your dedication. Will there be a point in the future where you are together (or at least closer)? I mean do you plan of having children etc?
@Showers: thanks :) next summer (once the paper works all set) I'm moving overseas to be with him. (finally ending the LDR) I plan to visit home whenever we can afford to.
@Showers: we cant :( Financially wise ( Hes saving up for the wedding and all costs of flying out his fam and what not ).. Also hes allowed a vacation just once a year! lol Sucks big timee!! Your right though - when you ( and we ) do get to see each other its a lot more special!! eep <3 cant wait to see him again... and good luck to you too! Hope all the moving around stops and you guys to be with each other every day!!
Same with all the other brides as well, hang in there!
@Dec-bride: Omg look at you! your such an inspiration to me!! blesss! 2 years with out seeing each other, ah man!! but 15 days!!! WOO! ( sorry a little to excited for you! haha )
@Mrsgurzakovic: thank you :D I am trying to remind myself to be excited, with all the wedding planning its just another tick on my list but it will surely hit me once he logs off to get on the plane and I can't see or get messages from him for almost 2 days.
for us though 2 years is normal, because of his job and how massivly expensive plane tickets are we somehow have only managed to be together every 2 years (although sometimes for months at a time) I can't wait for all of it to be over at last next year though. I really prey no more hurdles get in the way.
good luck everyone I know its frustrating and time differences are so annoying but keep the faith and hopefully we will all have our happily ever after :)
@Dec-bride: well i'm glad that you will get your happy ending eventually! And I'm sure it will be worth every minute of waiting!
@Mrsgurzakovic: these next 6 months will fly by, don't worry! Especially with all the wedding planning!
Bah, mine lives in TN (USA) and I live in England. We'll have been together 2 years in January, and I'll be going over for 2 months in July. But after that we won't be able to see each other until he finishes school/I get a Master's or finish a grad scheme. Makes me want to cry :( But we can stick it out.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
And would anyone like to take a minute and complain about how much it FREAKIN SUCKS!!!
I hate it. We can only talk for about 20 minutes a day, when he can get service. I haven't seen him in over 3 weeks. I hate making wedding desicions without him, but it has to be done.
End pathetic rant.
