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![]()
