    I've been very busy in work lately and herself works every second weekend so I'm lucky if I see her once a fortnight. She lives a fair distance away from me too. A guy I work with lives and works with his missus so they see each other constantly. I'm not sure I'd like that either. Have any of you ever been in a long distance relationship or been with someone you didn't see much?

    Every time I open the third drawer in my bedside locker.

    Yeah, we used to see each other once a month or so for about a year and a half. It was hard going, but some wonderful memories from the times we were together as they were extra special. Now we live together and still look forward to seeing each other every evening; kind of appreciate it more?
    Couldn't live and work together; that's just too much.

    Are you with GalwayGuy35? :) Yeah you definitely appreciate it more when you see the person. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that. It's a bit early in the relationship to be moving in together but that might be an option in the future.

    Too often


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,491 ✭✭✭looking_around


    My partner is in the army.

    When we first hooked up, after about a month being together, he had to go over seas for 6 months >.<'

    We chatted on skype most nights though. He's due to go away soon again ):
    __
    Atm, we see eachother every evening and weekends, but we live together. I do spend most of the evenings studying though, so we don't really spend that time together as such.

    I'm in one at the moment. From the moment we started it was a long distance relationship, as I moved over to England for work one month after we started going out.

    We get to see each other every two weeks, sometimes three and once four. That was a killer.

    Without Ryanair, we wouldn't still be going out. Late night and early morning flights are the order of the day. Keep it as cheap as possible.

    Every day and often all day every day. Still bliss after over 50 years together.

    I live with my boyfriend so I see him everyday. Before we lived together we were in a long distance relationship, me being in Ireland and him on the west coast of America. That was pretty difficult because we only saw each other every two or three months but we had the most amazing time together, traveling all around Ireland and Oregon/California. I will treasure those memories forever.

    Sometimes you can live with someone and spend a lot of your time in the same room but not feel like you spend enough time together.

    Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.

    I was with someone I only saw for long chunks of time, then long absences. The yearning made the reunion all the sweeter.
    No more reunions now though. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭Tarzana


    We live together so every six months or so? I think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    We live together, so every day. Unless one of us are away somewhere. Depending on what shift I am on we don't actually see that much of each other really!

    I live with my OH. It's grand. We wind each other up a lot, but I love him and were comfortable telling each other when the other is being annoying. Couldn't imagine not being able to see him every day now that we have that time together every day. Sometimes being at works seems too long and I can't wait to get home for cuddles.

    See my OH? Don't know if this is unusual, but I've never seen my own hole.

    Weekends and maybe once during the week. Tis grand, keeps the relationship fresh.

    I'm in a long distance relationship so I only see my boyfriend a few times a year. He was in Ireland for two weeks in March/April (I live in London) so I saw him for three weekends in a row, then two weeks' holiday at the end of May/beginning of June, three days at the end of July and I'm going out to see him for ten days in December. The longest we've gone without seeing each other was seven months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,172 ✭✭✭Mister Vain


    Some interesting stories. My situation doesn't seem so bad now. I don't think I could do the long distance relationship thing.

    You're in someone else's basement dude, got a woman in mine.

    The internet crashes every now and then and we have a quick chat. She seemed grand there last tuesday.

    Long distance relationship isn't too bad , I'm in one myself , eventually she's going to standstill long enough in the crosshairs for me to get a shot off.

    Every single day as we live together. And every day is blissful. I am extremely lucky. Guys - don't ever settle for anything less. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    Every day, as we're living together.

    We started out on a distance relationship (not really long distance, he was in Cork and I in Dublin, that's not much of a distance compared to what others have posted), but I moved to live with him after a year and a half.

    I couldn't imagine not living with him any more, I enjoy waking up next to him every morning, and coming home to him every evening.

    Why would you be lucky? Surely you both offer each other an equal amount. If you were genuinely in a completely unbalanced relationship then I would suggest that you are far from lucky.

    I don't tend to count the days between, but I think it's working out at once or twice a week. Longest so far was nearly 2 weeks, and I really missed him then. I've done long-distance before, and I've also lived with someone before, so I'm very conscious this time around of making sure we strike a healthy balance between smothering each other and not seeing each other enough, which I think we're managing reasonably well :)

    I was in a long distance relationship for 18 months (Louth/Wexford). I found it hard.
    I got the chance to move to be with him and took it. I loved being closer to him (geographically) and rented an old farmhouse. He stayed most nights then after 3 months out of the blue he announced he preferred "long distance".
    That was some kick as I had just got a new job there and basically moved everything.
    Long story short I left a few weeks later with a broken heart. Guess there were warning signs all along. If the relationship is good then living together is a natural progression and most people are happier that way.

    Twice a week usually, she'll stay over at mine during the week and then we'll spend a day/night together at the weekend.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Every day, we did the long distance for 2 years, Oz-Germany. First year we only saw each other every few months, too long. Second year we didn't leave more than 6 weeks between visits. Made things easier.

    Once a fortnight? Ah OP she's off galavanting with young floosies no doubt.

    No offense, but I find it hard to believe that EVERY day you spend with each other is blissful. Surely you have the occassional disagreement, or have little habits that get on each others nerves. Unless you're still in the honeymoon phase perhaps?

    I agree, it is as if "every day" was meant in a non-literal manner to convey how happy they are in their marriage.

    To me it is bliss. I feel completely loved and accepted by this person, even when we argue. We don't argue much. We talk freely. I never had these sorts of relationships when I was growing up and it's very new territory to me. So it's not always dancing on air kind of bliss. But to feel so unconditionally loved by someone no matter what is bliss to me.

    I see what you mean so i'll rephrase that. I feel incredibly grateful.;)

    Don't know if OH includes spouses, but if it does, then my answer is - everyday.

    We live together now, but were long distance for our first 18 months together. Used to see each other roughly every 2-3 weeks when we were long distance, Michael O'Leary made a bloody fortune off us. Closed the distance in July of last year when I moved to London to move in with him and it's been great since, we're getting married in 7 months time.
