Long Distance Relationship

[ghee101]

you said it all. mark got a temper i used to just be quiet but lately, my own temper boils up and it's very frustrating. yeah, we make up after a few minutes (or hours!) but it has become a normal thing for us. we even though of not talking till he picks me up at the airport

The distance frustrates me G, and when I'm frustrated - I lash out. You're able to handle the distance better then me, I really REALLY hate it, I'm not saying you "don't" hate it too, I'm just saying you're better equipped to handle it then me.

It's the most frustrating, yet beautiful, stressful, yet amazing relationship I've been in. The root of my frustration is the fact that you're there and I'm here. Like I said, I know you feel the same way too, but everyone is different, and I really can't handle it. Some people can, some people can't. I've tried and tried and I keep trying and trying, but the longer we are apart, the more frustrated I get, the more I'm prone to lashing out. I can only apologise for it, but that's me.

this is just now

I think having faith in an end result is a key factor in an LDR. For me, my journey has not been easy, but I had faith in my belief that we could make it work. My asawa tested me, and I proved to her that I was not like the westerners she had met while she was studying in Singapore. Being sincere, honest and persistant paid off for me.
Today, we are apart, but since making our pledge to eachother we are so happy, connected and contented. We dont argue, we have talked about differences in how we interpret what we say and understand that sometimes we wont get it right .... but ... we have said that should these events happen, we will not get mad or sulky, but will talk through the issue without an argument. I believe that our goals and dreams are so similar that petty misunderstandings are just not worth it. It is not about giving in to her or my decisions, it is about understanding needs and feelings.

Back to LDR's and SDR's ..... similar, but different
