Thanks Sun! I couldn't be happier!

Thanks Sun! I couldn't be happier

Hey... whatever works for you guys, that's all that matters! :) As long as you guys are on the same level, it'll work. The ex that I spoke about before (that I met gaming) turned out to be into a whole new level of gaming by time we ended up getting together (literally almost 9 years after we met online) that it just frustrated the **** out of me. I'd have maybe an hour or two out of work to spend time with him, and he STILL wouldn't get pry his a$$ off of WoW to even have some quality time. That relationship bombed REAL quick. lol Luckily... the one I'm dating now is a gamer as well.... but he's into living outside of the (computer) box than in it, like me. We're at the same level of gaming, I'd say. ;) Enjoy it, but don't live only for it. hehe

As for your ex...... maaaaaan... I coulda seen that coming! hah And serves him right, I'm glad he got fat. ;)

Yeah one good thing about us is that we know how to play and still have a life instead of spending hours and hours playing a game. It gives us something to do while we are so far apart that we can be "together" in a game. Yeah I was sooo happy when I found those pics of him it totally made me feel like a total skinny biotch haha

I kinda have an ex like that... I was only slightly overweight at the time that we met and he was absolutely drop dead gorgeous with twinkling blue eyes, blond hair with gorgeous sun streaked highlights..... AND he was a male stripper, so you know he was kickin'... ;) Well, he turned out to be the most ignorant, meanest, crudest, bipolar douchebag you'll ever meet in your life and was not only physically violent but beyond verbally violent as well. I finally gave him a one way ticket (literally, a bus ticket) out of my life and he ended up marrying this ginormous, ugly fat cow of a hillbilly.... and apparently her lifestyle rubbed off on him and he gained about 100lbs. It gives me pleasure tingles every time I see his Myspace pics.... (where he has the nerve to send me messages like "You still find me attractive, don't you?" and I'm like yeah..... you're TOTALLY hot in that cowboy hat that's waaaay too small for your fat, dumb head)

What can I say... I'm just not mature enough to not enjoy life's little vengeful evil pleasures.... ;) And I'm cool with that!

My husband and I lived apart for the first year and a half of our relationship, spending about one week out of every month together.

After finishing college, he moved in with me. I was so nervous before the actual move, I hadn't had many relationships and nothing serious before him and I had certainly never lived with a guy. As soon as he arrived, it all just felt right. Now, a few years later, we are married and I can't imagine my days without him.

Sooo long distance relationships are hard, but they can be so worth it as long as you're both honest and trust one another. For me, it was also a great way to ease into a relationship... I was so shy and inexperienced that not being around each other constantly let me keep my comfort during those initial months and really discover what I wanted in life. :)

Good luck to all ladies in LDR's, I hope things work out for the best!!

Oh wow Sunshine... I'm so SO sorry to hear that!!! It seriously makes me so sad to think of.... what happened if you don't mind me asking? Was it the distance? Or being apart? :(

God, the very thought terrifies me... :( Especially the part where you're talking about losing your 5 year friendship..... have you guys decided definitely that you don't want to talk/be friends anymore??? :(

Oh my lord....... today is one of those days that just.... argh! Makes the whole LDR thing SUCK.

So my guy moved to a new apartment recently when he and his roommates all decided to part ways. He was excited, because he'd been tired of living with them and us having our cam time all messed up depending on who was home, etc. We were so excited when he found a new place AND his internet company provided to that neighborhood (it's not as easy for them in India as it is for us here, a lot of places are still dead zones internet wise). Seemed like all was going to be gravy.

So, today, his internet company calls him up and tells him AFTER he's moved, signed all the contracts, bought home stuff, etc..... that they can't, after all, provide to his area. And no other company does that he knows of. Though he says he's going to work on it and see what he can do..... it looks like we might not be able to talk online, or see each other.... for god knows how long! :( :cry:

Seriously, I know we'll get through it..... but my god, this is seriously SERIOUSLY horrible. We're both so depressed I can't even explain. ****, I get depressed after not being able to talk to him, see him on cam, at least once a week. And..... never?

God. :( I'm so messed up over this. *sigh*

I know.... :(

It's like this ironic twist of Fate that both of us cannot believe happened. As he said.... it's a very helpless feeling. I mean, what the heck can we do about it??? :(

This is totally just for a visit. This will be our first time meeting in person, despite the literal thousands upon thousands of hours we've spent online and talking on the phone for the past 3 years.

Not to mention he's got his job there, I've got some serious family commitments here for the next few years. We've both agreed that if we want to continue seeing each other after our vacation together.... we'll get together twice a year for a year or two until he comes to the US for his master's degree. From there.... POSSIBLY living together. Not sure though. Trying to take it one day at a time (which is hard, because we're both passionate, jealous, I want to be committed but I don't types) lol

But...... we've just seem to work well together. So..... I guess only the future can tell where we'll end up. :)
