Long Distance Relationships

[typhoon]

It won't work lalo na pag may shoulder to cry on yung long distance syota mo

Uy, pero katakot takot na hirap dinaanan ko bago naging kami ha!

Andyan ung dahil magkabarkada nga kayo, iba tingin nya sayo. Walang malisya kumbaga. Parang ganito. Akala ko nung una jackpot ako kase nasa tuktok na ko ng hagdan (symbolical to ha). Magkaibigan kami, kilala namin isa't isa, everything's good. Pero un pala, maling hagdan inakyat ko! 2 pala ung hagdan!! Kaya bumaba ako dun sa unang hagdan and pinilit abutin ang rurok ng pangalawang hagdan. Get the drift?

Hindi lang pagod, luha kundi pati pera puhunan ko. Magastos din umakyat sa hagdan baka akala nyo hehe.

Ayan OT na ko.

basta ako masaya ako dahil halos magkapit-bahay lang kami ng bf ko. 5 minute walk lang ang layo. Sabi nya sakin isa sa mga factor kaya nya ako nagustuhan kasi magkalapit lang ang bahay namin. We've been together for more than 2 years already and I thank God for that. Tipid sa pamasahe, very convenient talaga.

exceptions lang ang mga nagwork.

No matter what kind of modern technology we have access to, nothing can replace touch.

We can't deny that we need physical presence. its hardwired into us.

QC ako, Paranaque siya.. medyo mahirap nga.

teka, does that qualify as long-distance already? hehehe

mahirap... lalo na pag pauwi. kakaantok ang drive sa EDSA pag madaling araw.

I'm in one right now (have been for the past year)

Nasa korea ako, sya nasa pinas
Mahirap talaga pero so far ok naman kami.
I can even say our relationship has grown even if we are far apart. Believe it or not, we talk a lot more now that Im here, dati sa pinas cguro we see each other 2-3x a week and talk on the phone 2x a week din max(im not a phone person). Pero dito, thanks to googletalk and yahootalk, we talk everyday, even on sundays. And if one of us cant make it online, we then call(para mas tipid din).

I look at this as a test of our relationship, if we can make it through this then I guess it shows na we are both willing to make sacrifices to make it work.

Temptations? Well meron din, pero its all about perspective and maturity imo. Its about knowing what you have, what you want and doing whatever it takes to keep it.

buti nga ngayon may internet na.. pwedeng email, chat. at may text na din. hindi katulad dati nung nagkarun ako ng long distance relationship, snail mail!!!! one week delay ung mga sulat namin.. ngayon real time na... which is easier for both parties to communicate. wala ng dahilan para hindi makapag communicate.

[baludoy]

pwede

I've been through a handful of long distance relationships (Philippines-Overseas). Favorite phrase ko pa nga iyong "distance is just time and space". But, they never worked for me...

I once had a relationship from North Metro Manila (am from South MM),- Uwi ko mostly midnight o madaling araw. Have seen all sorts of accidents on the road. Minsan nga it was raining very hard, and I was in the company of 10-wheelers on a flyover at around 2AM and traffic is not moving for about 30 minutes and the bridge is vibrating up and down.... Nakakatakot din...

Location, location, location.

lumalabas ang baba ng percentage na nag work out ang LDR,
kahit nasa loob (by plane or boat) or labas ng bansa ang magpartner.
mahirap naman kasi talaga ,kahit sabhin mo may chat ,text or call pa,(magastos talaga)
iba pa din iyon anytime kailangan ka niya ay present ka agad or talaga may way na makapunta ka agad sa para kanya

Long distance works for my sister's case. Chat and call lang sila. Now, they are married already. Chat and call sila till now (US ung bro. in law ko at Pinas naman cya). in my case, ung ex-bf ko taga-QC, sa Taguig area naman ako. Madalang kami magkita, sobrang busy nya. Nakipag-break na lang ako..

it doesn't work. one way or the other you'll find yourself cheating your partner. it's evolutionary instinct to mate(have ***)....just can't do it with your partner half way across the globe.

[niky]

I had a long distance relationship for nine years.

Too bad it had to end... because I married her, and now we live together.

It was good during the time we were in College together, but it got hard when we were working. I lived in Biñan, Laguna, she lived in Quezon City. It's two hours by bus, and three hundred pesos plus (round trip) by car. (130 pesos in toll fees alone!). What's difficult to get used to now is actually living together, as in a long-distance relationship, you've got lots of space and "alone time" (important for a guy), while once you're living together, you've got more "together time" (important for a girl).

PS: Hayuf naman mag-resurrect ng threads si mazdamazda! :lol:

regretful?

OT..san ka sa binan niky

[BoEinG_747]

in my case, ung ex-bf ko taga-QC, sa Taguig area naman ako. Madalang kami magkita, sobrang busy nya. Nakipag-break na lang ako

Taguig -Kyusi .pa lang iyan di na kayo magkita,eh di lalo na kung province pa or out of the country.mahirap talaga ,kaya hanap na din ako na kapitbahay ko lang
OT: paging mga tsikoteer na taga taguig diyaannnn

it doesn't work. one way or the other you'll find yourself cheating your partner. .

tutuo iyan .mauuwi ka lang sa lolokohin mo na lang sia ,lalo na kung madami temptation ,hirap mag control kasi na mimiss mo si pero may umaaligid naman ,(hay naku ang hirap talaga)

it's evolutionary instinct to mate(have ***)....just can't do it with your partner half way across the globe

kahit sabihin mo may nag SOP hehehe,pero iba pa din pag real
(Kaya cguro naging magastos)

[Linkk]

sa married couple ok lang ldr, pero kadalasan sa mag bf/gf malabong mangyari, sa sobrang dami ng tukso.

[Jun aka Pekto]

It'll only work if both of you are willing to put in the effort. Proof? Me and my wife.

We corresponded for 3-4 years. She was in the Philippines while I was here in the US and trying to make something of myself. I eventually went to the Philippines, married her and got her paperwork squared away so she can join me here which she did 9 years ago. No regrets whatsoever....

Worked for me and my wife.... I was in Sydney and she was in the Phils. We were apart for 18 months... Hirap grabe, I racked-up a whole heap of phone bills, etc. halos mi-goreng (parang lucky me pancit canton) na lang ang pagkain ko everyday para lang makapag-usap kami sa phone... during those days wala pa text... syet nga eh.... Tapos nung college naman kami ganun din sya asa cavite ako sa pasig. i guess we were just meant to be lang talaga . I just went back home to the phils last 2001 to marry her and sponsor her to come to australia rin. no regrets din ako... pero hirap talaga sobra... nag-break-up pa nga kami nang twice sa phone nung andito ako sa sydney at asa phils sya eh... pero eventually fate brought us together again and again...

So, i believe that if you're meant to be for each other no matter what you will end up together...

you guys have some beautiful stories but they're the exception rather than the rule.

for every one of those stories i've heard 10 where they drifted apart or cheated. when i went away to school almost everybody in my class was leaving someone special behind and promised to make it work. but the phone calls started growing less and less frequent...after a few beers kung sino-sino ang nagiging katabi paggising sa umaga


if you're married or engaged and have a super-strong relationship i believe you can make it work for a year or two...but for young adults this kind of arrangement has all of the disadvantages with none of the advantages.
