Uhm, as a couple, the furthest we've been is from New Jersey to St. Thomas (he was there, I was here) and for about a week. It was really rough hahaha. Sad, I know :P
We texted each other the whole time. No calls. He didn't really have any alone time (family) but yeah we texted all day :)
My boyfriend and I are long-distance. He's in Chicago and I'm in Atlanta... so that's an 11 hour drive, but we always fly to visit each other. Longest time apart = nearly 7 weeks. It sucked!! We talk on the phone a lot (averaging 1-2 hours a day). And we have a weekly webcam date! We actually get dressed up and everything!!
While my boyfriend is at school we are two hours apart. When I go off to college this fall we will be three hours apart. (driving) We just talk a lot, text, and he tries to come home every two to three weeks. Some how we manage. :)
My ex and I are 3000 miles apart; he moved to California five months ago. How do we cope with this? We don't talk. If I miss him, I probably listen to mushy songs & blog on here.
6 days is the longest we've been apart...it sucked, hahah.
oh yeah, and while we were apart, i was in maryland, and he was in virginia. 40 minutes away, but apart nonetheless :(
I went to Vietnam for a month two summers ago. I wrote everyday to him. We took a tour of the whole country so I was staying busy. Next month I'm going back to Vietnam for 3 weeks.
I'm in a long distance relationship. We live 8 hours away from each other.The longest we've ever been apart would be about 2 months. But I try my best to find free time to come and see him every month or so. We really don't like to talk about the distance or anything like that because that just makes us miss each other more than we already do. But how I cope when I do miss him the most is just by listening to love songs. Other than that I try not to let the distance get the best out of me and my relationship so I try to keep myself preoccupied as much as possible till the next time I do see him.
The longest I haven't seen him would be three weeks when he went to Taiwan (twice) and I had to sit at home by myself for Christmas and New Years >.< lol and when I went to Hong Kong for three weeks and made him sit at home by himself for New Years.
We both go to different colleges, but we see each other pretty much every weekend. We talk to each other on the phone/text a LOT.
We're currently 5 hours apart (long distance thing)
Longest time we've gone without seeing each other is about 3 weeks, and even that is really hard.It was bad when I was in Japan for a week though so I couldn't talk to him on the phone (without paying insane amounts of money) or text him all day like I usually do. We talked a little on the internet but because of the time difference and with me being busy all day we didn't get to talk a whole lot.Not looking forward to him going on his cruise for 10 days in May when we'll be able to talk even less and he'll be the one gone and I'll be stuck here. Gonna suck.When I went to China for a month and he was in the US. Opposite sides of the globe. Then halfway through my month in China, he went to England, his homeland. So... I guess he sort of got 1/4 of the globe closer... but it really didn't feel like it. xD
We talked on the phone every day or every other day for an hour on average probably. I just imagined he was with me the entire time and conversed with him in my head during my outings in China.
Coming home was amazing. He was already at the airport, though I didn't know it at the time. I was picking up my bags, waiting for my parents to pick up their cellphone when I saw him... after he half-tackled me and spun me around in the air in a huuuuge bear hug. <3
Well he's in central New Jersey and I'm in Philly it's about a 4 hour trip. (He takes the train.)
The longest I've gone without seeing him? A month a week has been the longest thus far. And I won't see him again for about that long unless I'm lucky or I go up and surprise him.
We handle it by talking on the phone every night, texting and iming each other when he's online, etc. He gave me some of his Axe bullets that he uses a while back and I spray my pillow with them when I miss him like crazy. -shrugs- It's comforting but a poor substitute for his arms wrapped around me.
I really should give him something to get him through the times we're apart I feel bad I have a sweatshirt and everything. Hm...
I used to go up and visit my parents in NY (we both live in TX) for about a month at a time, so that's probably the longest.
Him and I also lived in separate towns for a year and saw each other probably every other weekend, so I guess you could consider that to be a long time.
We talked on the phone quite a bit, and text messaging made it feel like he was just in the other room. To be honest, though, neither of us do very well when we're not together! We miss e/o like crazy. Still, you learn how to deal.
LDR, 300 miles; it's junior year now, longest was entire spring semester of freshman year.
Coping? You just do. I journal, IM with him, write him letters each week. Pray--I don't know what I'd do without prayer, knowing at least God's there with him when I'm not. We talk on the phone every once in a while, too.
we are apart for 3 mths.. he's out for course in brisbane.. n i'm in sg.. once awhile he will be flying.. be it for days, weeks etc.. a day just seems forever to pass-by..
i'm glad tt we have such technology now~ IM-ing really helps to warm my lonely days.. we also sent each other surprise gifts/ parcel on special occassions during the period he was away..
time to time he still flys.. so we see each other almost daily even after 2 yrs together. and the feeling is jus as same~ lovely n passionate! ^^
Right now the situation of me and my SO is he is in Perth - Australia and I am in Jakarta - Indonesia. The longest time we have been apart is a month and a half. We both deal with the "I-really-miss-him/her moments" by chatting with each other everyday through BB messenger, calling each other up before we sleep just to say goodbye, chat on Skype using the webcam and monthly visit to see one another.
We met online.
He lives about 2800 miles away.
I'm in Ontario, Canada... he's on the coast in California.
So far he's come here twice. We started to date after the first time. There were 4 months in between the first and second visit.
So far it's been a week and a half since he was here last.
We plan on seeing each other again before another 4 months goes by. :)
It's tough.
I'm in AK. The boy I like usually lives right across the street. But he's been ID for the last nine or so months. Gahhhhh.
When my husband was in Iraq for 7 months and I was here in the states. Sucks. Now he's on his second deployment and it's the same thing.
We met online. I lived in OK and he was stationed in NC. We started dating early 2008, and I visited him in June. Then I didn't get to see him from June 2008 to February 2009. Yeah. Deployments suck. He was in Japan, and I was in Oklahoma. It's a long time to be that far away from somebody. We talked online and on the phone, but we broke up for a number of reasons and stopped talking for a while. He asked me to fly out to see him in person in February, and we ended up getting back together. I moved out to North Carolina with him March 1st. People thought it was kind of weird, because although we'd been together about a year, we had been around each other in person less than three weeks total.
He's about to go on a month-long deployment to California May 1st, and I really have no idea how I'm going to deal with that one. I don't really have any friends out here, and he will be working 12 on 12 off and won't have much time to call. I guess we'll figure it out when it comes to that...
My boyfriend and I live about 650km apart (approx 7hr drive). We've been in a serious relationship for 7 months, taking turns visiting each other usually about once a month. We talk on the phone every single night and sometimes videochat. It's hard sometimes, but it'll get easier because he'll be out here for most of the summer, and in the fall I'll be moving there for school.
I haven't seen him since the beginning of March, but he's coming out here in a week.
Right now, we're about 90 miles away (1.5-2 hours). Sadly the longest we've been away is 7 days. lol. We see each other every weekend, taking turns driving to each other's places. In previous relationships I've been through much worse. Longest I've gone ever without seeing an SO was 6 weeks. That is tough, not gonna lie.
Sure my current bf and I will get further away as I try to find a job this year. I'm desperate at this point and would do anything for a job. Arg!
we didn't see each other for six weeks--between my winter and spring breaks. i only go to school 2.5 hours away from home, but he gets nervous at the idea of driving in/around baltimore after having been involved in two accidents, and i don't have a car myself. we get through it though, thanks to skype and verizon wireless.
i'm apart from my SO for 4-7 months. lol.
he lives in quebec and i live in manitoba
My boyfriend and I go to the same college, but I'm from Chicago and he's from Juneau, Alaska. We were apart for four weeks at Christmas, which was really hard because we had only been together for two months and I wasn't really sure what to expect. He's leaving to go home for four months in a couple of weeks, and that will be tough. He's a crab fisherman and will spend weeks at a time out on the ocean, so not only will I not see him, I won't hear from him either. I know everything will be fine, but it's difficult. However, it does encourage me to stay busy and work on my relationships with my friends and coworkers. I think beyond the obvious trust that's needed, there's always potential to enrich your life while you're away from your significant other. It can even be good for your relationship, because when you DO see or talk to the other person, you have so much more to share and talk about, and it makes your time together that much more meaningful.
