LDR's are like starting out along a tight-rope. It's not going to be an easy journey and there's a chance of a few good wobbles along the way. If the relationship keeps it's balance, then it will make it to the other side. If the wobbles are too servere the relationship falls off before it reaches the other side.
That said this could apply to any type of relationship
For me I had a long discussion with my lady friend recently. Although we have agreed in principle to meet in early 2011, both with the idea of looking at having a relationship, it seems this potential relationship has already been tested. After being informed by my lady friend yesterday that she went out for two dates with a guy (someone who lives a few hours away from her) in USA, it did raise an eyebrow.
Having discussed this subject with her after she opened up, it was a certainly a surprise to say the least, but I realise at the end of the day there is nothing I can do. I was understanding of why she did so - we had not communicated for a week as I was unavailable for online chat. I appreciated the fact she was at least open and honest with me. We still hope to meet in early 2011, despite the temptations she clearly faces.
We have now exchanged mobile phone numbers, so we can SMS each other when we want to.
