It's of course more encouraging when there's an end to the long-distance, and when you don't have that reassurance it gets very uncertain at times.

We are incredibly lucky that he can afford to drive up and down every two weeks, and that we are in the same time zone! Facetime/Skype is SUCH a godsend. We watch TV "Together" at nights over facetime, spend hours just in each others company but not together. It is hard, but with a focus in mind, you are right it is total possible! <br /><br />Erin || <a href="http://www.makeerinover.co.uk" rel="nofollow">MakeErinOver</a>MakeErinOverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438234948435497180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316033986229535307.post-14975938836854351502018-02-05T14:25:49.209+01:002018-02-05T14:25:49.209+01:00I have never been in a long distance relationship ...I have never been in a long distance relationship for longer than three months, so there was always "light at the end of the tunnel", but I remember it being hard.<br />Trust in your partner and in your relationship is key, I agree, but I think it will help you survive hardships that come along later in life much easier. I mean, if you have been through that, what could be more challenging?<br /><br />Anne - <a href="http://lindalibraloca.com/" rel="nofollow">Linda, Libra, Loca</a>Doctor Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13757983461575661675noreply@blogger.com
