You had it all. You had chemistry, you fell in love. The only problem was he was thousands of miles away and dumping you was easy it was just a click away..You cried, you hurt. You thought after all you had been through online nothing could break you up again. Distance stretched before you and you could not reach the one you loved. He would not wait for you to come to his country, it was over.I once believed Distance could not damage real love, maybe it wasn’t real love.I won’t know because I can’t get to him.My on line love the guy I met online, laughed with, talked to heard him say on the phone “I love you.” Distance…if I was there he would of known what it was like to hold me in his arms he would of known my touch and “breaking up” wouldn’t have been so easy.

If Distance did play a part in your online break up how can you deal with it?

*Accept it- Nothing we can do can change geography
*Think in the present
*It takes two people to be in a realationship if he or she wasn’t willing to try to come see you remember that fact in a realationship both people should work together to meet
*Don’t dislike the country he or she is in-I am sure you learned a lot about the state or country your loved one is in take that knowledge and cherish it you learned something about a different place and or culture!
Let time heal wounds-If you both have cut each other out of your lives accept it, mourn for the loss of love, talk to people, keep busy, know you are valuable.
And most of all if you two really care no miles in the world could separate you in body but never in spirt and if it’s destined that you will meet someday you will !!

*and if not
keep learning about different places no one can ever take away the things you learn.

This blog turned a year old in October, I once had about 347 posts but I deleted them. I think in blogging sometimes it’s okay to have a fresh start if you feel the ship is sinking its either abandon it or bail the water out fast as you can..I left my ship for a while. Dis the distance, started when a friend and me were so thrilled that we had met we wanted to share our stories with others who met online. Our friendship has been through many storms. He’s in Grad School now and I’m a mom to 3. We don’t get to talk as much as we did and coming here to the blog was painful as we had drifted apart. I kept thinking lately that DIS THE DISTANCE blog and website may mean something to somene someday so I am back and I hope you will join in on discussions and stories I would love to hear from you

Absence makes the heart grow fonder that is what we lovers have always heard,read or lived through.If we find someone somewhere that makes ud feel alive only to be parted by miles and circumstances how do we keep that love alive.Today,we are lucky to have email and webcams and the phone.Love can seem slmost sterile however longing to touch but being unable to do so.Arguments can break out over misunderstandings that can not be cooled with a kiss or a hug.l”Ong distance love can make lovers go crazy.When we can not be held or touched by the person we adore,hours drag out and days are punishment..There may be break ups and makeups and heart ache.Longing may seem romantic but it can make one sick literally and depressed.Couples who decide that they will ‘wait’ things out must have patience.family members may not always be supportive.Sometimes,when a couple are each from a dufferent culture they can face opposition from their family.Religious differences can be a common hurdle for people in love from a distance.How can people deal with so many issues from long distances it may supris you but the answer is the same for couples near and far they are quite simple listen to one another,trust and have faith in the love that you founf in one another because no where can be another couple like you.
