who here is in a long distance relationship?

i must say iv enjoyed reading some posts on this thread.

I agree 100% with graham on all of his points, especially that relating to the idea of LDR requiring a lot of effort, and the need for both parties willing to compromise in order to finally be together.

From my experience, LDR is much more feasible in today's world, where smartphones, and good mobile data network coverage can be had both in the UK and in the Philippines.

At the end of the day, the only true posession one has got is his/her life experience, so thank you for reminding me of this fact graham, in reference to your comment about 'cost'.

My situation:

I am in full time employment here in london, my girlfriend is a qualified nurse in PH, currently studying for her grade 7 (minimum) in the IELTS exam in order to potentially secure a job as a nurse here in the UK.

we are looking at jan/feb 2014 as the earliest dates for us to be together.

In the meantime, I plan on going out to her every 6 months, I am heading out to see her on 17. april for 2 weeks. cant wait
