I'll follow you anywhere, Oman...
but I thought when you said "room with a view", it would be more like this:

Does that place of yours have an elevator?

Re: I'll follow you anywhere, Oman...
Geeze Oman... you provide them with a nice place and they still complain....
How is everyone?
It's been a while since I posted... I've been reading the posts most days. Jealous of the 6 day countdown...
You know.......... for I guy who's LDR failed, I'm still going to offer some advice.
Take it slow, don't try and rush things... it is easier to give your heart to someone over the internet than it is face to face. The things we complain that are missing while communicating in our LDR are the things that cloud, or interfere, in a face to face relationship. In an LDR, our senses are hightened, the ones we CAN use are lifted up to get maximum communication.
Hence things happen fast... This can be a stumbling block for some, it could be the catylist for others. Just keep things in check, stay in control, but most of all, stay in love and enjoy!!!!

YOu can't go by that.
My relationship before this one was three (long) years. You cannot go by other people's experiences. Relationships can go badly even if you live next door.
It all depends on the two people involved. Do your own thing. Life is too short to worry about what others will think.
Love is like most things: sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Nothing ventured and nothing gained. I speak from a lot of experience. I will be 52 years old next month!

Thank you!!
Thank you everyone for all the good wishes!
Lady Sam...hang in there...I thought that time would go so slow, but it seems it has flown by...Toys will be here on Thursday! I can't believe it!
Jenny and Ebony, you are so sweet!
And Top Cat, thank you for the advice, I have been trying to keep things in perspective.
I think I am a bit of an advantage, because I am already involved with someone here who is also wonderful. He knows all about the upcoming visit, and in fact he is as excited for the meeting as Toys and I are. So I have someone to share my anticipation and keep me company...and keep me from totally stressing out. I can't believe how lucky I am...I have two amazing guys that are going to spoil me rotten in less than a week!

Re: YOu can't go by that.
Hugs Ebony!
I agree... each relationship is different! You are an inspiration for having already gone through an LDR, and still believing enough in the strength of this kind of love to try again! I'm so happy your time is approaching! (Try and remember to take some pictures though!! I missed out with my 8 days with Oman, and I regret it now!)
We'll need to celebrate your birthday next month! You go, girl!! I'll be heading to the big 50 in December!
Good to see you again, Top Cat! Glad you're still following up on the goings on here!
Hugs Hat! Glad you had that picture taken! And I loved that frog!
Hi as well to Raina (omg.. 6 days!), Tantana and, of course, OMAN!!

Hi Jenny, Oman, Hat, TC, Ebony, GM and everyone else (know I"m forgetting someone) Hope everyone is having a good Saturday.
The last week the time I've been able to spend with Daeth has been few and far between. I'm still in the process of putting together his care package. Gods I hate these opposite shifts.
Babe, I love you and can't wait till I can hold you in my arms.

Long Distance
I am not sure who all knows this but here it goes. I have been and am still in a long distance relationship. My bf is overseas in the military and we have been in this relationship for six years. It has been incredibly hard at times and other times incredibly easy. I am writing this more to give some people who are just starting in an ldr or who are about to get involved (or thinking about it) in an ldr. If your in that situation keep in mind that its going to be hard on both of you. That even if one of you doesn't always say "I miss you" and "I love you" it doesn't mean that they don't. Keep in as much communication as possible as often as possible. Use the net, free long distance, anything and everything you can.
I often and so has my bf, said that we talked more and got to know each other more in our first six months than most people do in a lifetime.
LDR's can be great things. I honestly thank God daily for the internet...without it I would never have met my bf. So internet relationships ands LDR's....they require more conversatoin...but the emotion is worth it all.

Re: Long Distance
Welcome, Goldchainedrose!
Your words ring so true for many of us!! I thank God every day and night that the internet is available to us! Although having an LDR tends to change the focus you have for some of those directly around you, it broadens your life in so many other ways!
Six years is amazing! I was in such a different place back then, I can hardly imagine it! My personal hope is that my situation will become a "close distance" relationship before the end of this year!
An LDR is hard, but isn't it also wonderful? I fully agree that you learn more about a person this way than many "offline" couples do in a lifetime.
Thanks for joining us and sharing your story!

More on LDR's
Yes, six years. He is still overseas and we are hoping for the military to send him back stateside within the next year or so. It's been hard, especially this last year, but the connection is so deep. I don't think a lot of people realize that. But I'll take that to another thread
Thanks and if anyone every wants to chat about what is going on with you and your ldr please message me at AOL instant messenger (goldchainedrose) or mail me at castlependragon@yahoo.com
Thanks

Re: More on LDR's
Hi GCR
Feel free to continue to use this thread if you care to share your experiences with us. I have received feedback from some who haven't posted thanking me for starting this, as many of our experiences are shared by others, and there's a bit of comfort in knowing that!
Most of us already involved in an LDR have learned how deep a connection it is. For me, I have never experienced such a deep rooted love and affection for another person. It's hard not knowing how soon we'll be getting together again, and that brings a bit of frustration into the mix as well!
Until this happened to me, I must admit that I would be quite skeptical at the idea of such a thing as an LDR! However, it "hit" me before I realized it, and although it can be a frustrating and lonely experience, I wouldn't change a second of the whole "package"!
Now, Oman....
That idea will work as soon as I win a car! (Just entered a drawing for one!) Hope you don't get a draft back there!

Ok anyone know any decent cheap airlines? Daeth and I are trying to decide if its better for him to drive out here (we lose days but cheaper) or for him to fly out here (so far a bit more expensive but we get more days).
And we've agreed to expand the truth a bit to my mother.
Love you Babe and I can't wait.
