Any opinions on how to keep in touch with someone you truly love but not only do you feel you're loosing them but distance is also a problem.

long distance relationships hardly ever work. anyone who says different is selling a telephone service....

Take my word for it, you have to be extremely lucky for long distance to work, because even if you manage to stay faithful and together all the time you're apart, getting back together again can be even harder, as people change when they're apart in a way that isn't condusive to a good relationship

Although it is very very difficult to do,
try to see the big picture and have faith
in the human experience. If you feel that you are losing someone whether or not they are next door or in a nother country, the thing to do is voice your fears, on behalf of your heart and your sanity and your future
do the best you can to express what you are feeling to the other person, listen as you give them opportunity to explain why you are wrong or why you are right and hear what they say or don't and take it for what it is worth! Adding distance to a relation ship that is already unstable is in the eyes of anyone who has been through anything similar
very much an indication that this relationship is not going top fare so well in the immmediate future, however it soes not mean that you need to destroy your feeling for the person who you are losing, and is also far away. You can let them know how you feel, you can gracefully accept your
deletion from their life and you can treasure the love that you had while you had it. Maybe someday you'll find each other again, maybe not , point is that if your fears are unfounded, the communication will take care of itself. Your interest in the other person and theirs in you will do nicely to assure the ongoing exchange of correspondesnce and such. If this mutual interest is not present do youself the favor of accepting that fact, and carrying on better for having been in the relationship at all. When people get the chance or make the time to "love one another'
all good intentions contained therein are 14k
and ought to be revered as such , just because time reveals that it is impossible to subsist on each other alone or even exist together w/o great strife, doesn't mean that the "love and happy times that you fill your thoughts with when avoiding letting go of something that needs to be let go of have to be shredded or burned at the stake, just be glad for having had the experience of loving very much and carry on kind and candid until the opportunity presents itself again.
I know how much it hurts to think that the one you love doesn't feel the same way, but hurt as it does , if that is the case don't hurt yourself w/ deception or denial. Take car of yourself and be glad that gravity hasn't yet come a calling!

Long distance relationships suck. I've had two of them go bad on me now. They are now no longer an option in my opinion. Just go rent a porno (for yourself) or something and "Decide to remain friends." You'll save yourself some trouble. Trust me.

There are long-distance relationships that work. I've known my girlfriend for about 4 1/2 years now, and we decided to go to separate colleges. We constantly e-mail and IM each other (thank god for the internet) and phone (one does not want to pay my phone bill), but the thing that truly makes long-distance work and makes it rewarding is trust. Of course, this can be said of any relationship, but to me, trust is the deciding factor in a relationship. If you can't learn to put your faith in the one you love, then you can't really have a relationship that you feel good about yourself.

Does not work. Does not work. Does not work. Does not work.

Well I dated someone for a year, had him spend 8 months in Spain (while I was in england) kept in touch and faithful and together through all of that, and then split up 6 months after he got home, because I'd changed (become more independent-through necessity) and he still wanted me to be the same person we first met.. so like I said, if the distance doesnt' break you up, its possible that the reunion will..

Change is a natural progression of experience. I wouldn't want any person I know, much less myself to stop learning, and to stop making decisions. To not expect change is to dream of stasis. Memories will always be there for you, but if it's a true sharing of life, one has to also accept the changes that occur in a relationship as well as the things that draw the two of you together.
A relationship is a living union, and as such, it evolves from one amalgamation to another. The thing that is in a relationship is the knowledge of another and that one is not alone.

I sound like I'm stoned. I'll stop now.
