I've been with my man for 3 years, he's back home in Barbados whilst i'm studying in England. But how long can a relationship last when you don't get to see each other for months at a time?. We speak on the phone all the time but I really miss the companionship, he's like my bestfriend and boyfriend rolled into one but can you really trust a man whos out of your sight 90% of the time ( especially a Caribbean man! ).

I'm here for 3 years, can any relationship survive that length of time apart?

i really think it is just a question of age....dunno about you and your man....and from the male perspective i can tell you that when i was about 20, a long distance realtionship wouldn't have worked for me...there are some needs you cannot deny when you are a young man....and although i had a girl when i walked down a street or sat in a train looking at a young beautiful woman, things went thru my mind...and there was this strange kind of urge....
but today i can honestly say that i am over it...still some things go thru my mind but i know that there are more important things in life than just chasing booty...but a man needs time to learn and realise the truth

girl, i am in the same situation as yourself. I met my boyfriend in ghana in august and i really love him to bits he treats me like a queen. It is hard having someone who u love and them being far away when i first came back to england i cried for a week , but i stopped because it was giving me headaches lol and it does not help me in a ny way. He is lovely he sends me gifts all the time and we always speak everyday on the fone and on the net. Keep the faith and the trust because they will ultimately be your downfall. Just because your boyfriend is far away, does not mean that u cannot be in a relationship , if anything it will be a more real relationship because u do not have the physical things only the emotional. Be strong girl and just think that it will not be forever and u will be happily in love with him for years to come ok.













ghanflagengland was where i was born , but ghana is my true home

Peace!

Yo- been there. its a difficult situation to handle, butone thing it does prove is that if its sumting real- Absense most definately makes the heart grow fonder. Trust me anytime i saw my partner it was ooooooonnnnnnnnnnn!

I suppose in a sense that was da bright side. always had sumting to look 4ward to!

wow, three years str8 without seeing him....

THAT IS A REALLLLLY LONG TIME !!!!!!!LOL..hmm well it all depends on how committed you both are....

do you see yourself with this guy forever ? see having kids w/ him? see marrying this fella? can he be trusted? can he go that long without intimacy?!?!....things like that you have to think about. ( if not or your not sure to any of those, then I advice you to break off the relationship from now) If you both are serious and HE is willingtowait that long and you both remain faithful (if posibble) then I say Go For It !

A long distance relationship can only work if you both understand that there is a more greater chanceyou both will see other people. If you can accept that then..do you thing
