I am an OFW for quite some time..
I communicate with my wife thru email, phone calls and sometimes text..
nanlamig? after 18 years of marriage pag nakabakasyon ako ay parang honeymoon stage pa rin...hahaha
ayos yan welscua ah
ours started na two blocks away lang ang layo namin sa isa't isa then naging 40 mins then nag 4 hrs tapos ngayon different state na. We communicate thru phone and email. Now na deployed sya puro email lang minsan down pa ang connection nila kaya di narereceived yung email. Nakakaannoy pero nasasanay na rin so la na problema. We used to see each other na twice a year lang. Pero we always think na me mas worst pa sa situation namin. And yes, lalong nakakamiss pag di masyado nagkikita. There's something to look forward to. Tapos ang mga tampuhan di tumatagal kasi we just want to be ok and happy! We are almost 7years together and engaged to be married.
great story, sana lahat ng couples ganyan...lapitin ba ng tukso pag magkalayo kayo?
we didnt really have that kind of problem. our communication is very much open and we are very committed with each other. ano ba ang mga tukso? like other girls for him and other guys naman for me? I think kung gusto mo namang magpatukso lalapit talaga yun sa iyo. For us wala. He can never find another me as i will not find another one like him.
well as long as open yung communication at very much committed sa isa't isa makakayanan yung ldr, kaso more than a year lang kami nakatagal ng ex gf ko, sana yung iba makayanan yung situation nila, yun nga lang kakainggit when i hear a succesful ldr.
when we're still in college, sa manila siya nag aral and I studied in mindanao. through text and tawag lang, not everyday kasi busy siya adn so am I.. twice a year lang kami magkita and when he got job sa ibang city naman siya nagwork ,ngayon once a year lang kami nagkikta .. Pero ok lang naman, for 5 years sanay na ako and everytime we meet parang iba yung feeling, nakaka excite...hehe..
I'm in an LDR as well. Actually, this is my second after a painful one. Based on my experience, communication, in any way that you both can, is a major key. If given na in-love talaga kayo sa isa't-isa, you will do anything within your power to take care of that relationship and inspire each other to hold on and hope. The distance is just the circumstance that you just happen to be in and it's not the whole relationship so you both always have the choice and the last say whether to be on it or not. If there's a way to cut the distance, then why keep it that way? But if, for a moment, you need to, then just be stronger for each other and just think about the future that you won't have to be away anymore. Sa aming dalawa, actually, ako yung palaging na de-depress due to the distance and he would always cheer me up and make me feel na we have better days in store for us. Yun na lang din ang pinag-huhugutan ko ng lakas ng loob. I love him so much talaga....
Kanina lang I wrote a blog entry just out of terribly missing him... I know when he gets to read it, he'll feel so touched again because he really loves it when I write...he loves it when I do what I'm passionate about...lalo na when it's about him. So I think it's also good to really write to each other. Send something he/she can always look forward to read and re-read when he's/she's down.
Let us all be string guys....
Here's my blog, to at least share what's more between us...
From my Island to your Mountain
Im in an LDR too..we are separated by oceans, 7hrs difference.it sucks eh? but the thing is, we always communicate with each other.either by chat, email, phone call, SMS and even snail mail.iba kasi *** old style letter,may kilig factor at hindi puro technology.sometimes, nakakasira rin ng ulo *** gusto kong mayakap siya, mka holding hands but i just cant.have to wait till we see each other again..but guess what? we can manage really well getting stronger on our 2 years, 2 mos relationship and still counting
I also belong to this club.. LDR for 8yrs and still counting. lol. we are bf/gf almost 11 years now. Long distance relationship works if both parties work to make the relationship work. I admit it's not a walk in the park. dami naming trials pinagdaanan. may time na busy yong isa tpos paranoid yong isa. dumating din kami sa point na nghiwalay.. it was brief.. i initiated the breakup. that time kasi sobrang sanay na ako na *** siya. parang *** na akong naramdaman. yon pala i built the wall a little bit thicker than what is necessary. defense-mechanism ko kasi yon *** hindi malamon ng longingness to be with him. He never gave up on me. Ako naman I realized my kalokahan.. we love each other now more than ever.. parang bago lang kaming bf/gf. kaya natin to
LDR works only when both parties aim for the same goal; and fights all that may try to stop them from reaching said goal.
Been through an LDR, and it failed. Love was not enough.
We were both still in college when we became textmates for 7 months, and napasagot ako sa kanya kahit na hindi pa kami nagkikita personally! :P It had a lot to do with our willingness to make our relationship work no matter what, and most importantly the quality and quantity of communication. 6 months pa after naging kami, dun pa lang kami nagkita. We only get to be with each other 3-4 months in a year kasi seaman siya.
The first year was definitely the hardest, considering the adjustments sa mga ugali namin kasama na yung obligation nya sa work nya. We didn't see each other for 1 year after our first 3 months together dahil sa apprenticeship niya on-board (1 year kasi ang contract). The next 4 years naman, 9 months or 6 months nalang ang contract nya, and still 3-4 months lang kami nagkakasama talaga for each year. Nasanay na kami pareho sa set-up namin, but of course we're definitely not planning for this set-up to be a permanent thing. We're both saving up para we can just venture into business para magkasama na kami palagi. Sobrang hirap at pangit din daw kasi tumanda sa barko.
After the very long wait, we finally got married last year. We've come a long way from being just textmates! It's amazing what two people can accomplish if both of you have the same goals and are truly loving each other in the process.
Going through an LDR is truly a unique experience, very challenging, but requires 100% commitment from both parties to make it work. It's truly a test of true love! With this, I'm leaving everyone with this quote that people like us can personally truly testify to:
"Love knows no depth until the hour of separation." - Kahlil Gibran
Hi babekulet!!! It's nice to hear from you again....!!!!
Yan ang mga feeling nila bilang LDR pas lalong mahirap kung naka long distance realation ship nyan minsan masasaktan ka din ka pag na breakan ka!
