I hope you & him are still doing well.. Long distance relationships are a work in progress.. it takes two to make extra efforts to make it work. But, also even in any relationship it is still the same.
In my case, my marriage. You can't take things for granted! You have to try to go that extra step to meet him with a kiss or a smile, or a hello when he comes through the door...even if your favorite show is on or you're in the middle of something & you really don't want to get up off your butt, so you just assume he knows you love him in spite of life's craziness!
This is my 3rd marriage & we have been together for 10 years now. It has NOT been easy, I have been with a man all my adult life & it's nice knowing that you're loved & there's a sense of security that only that kind of relationship can bring.
It's been a long road to get to where we are & it is still a work in progress. We separated a few times, I had to get restraining orders, almost divorced him, but I always took him back. At times, I felt his love for me is was so much stronger than mine for him.
Men are not wired like us women & it takes them a little longer to get it right or learn. But, when they truly love you then they will move mountains to stay with you.
Jealousy is like cancer & after awhile when they see you are what you are, genuine, then that falls by the wayside. They have to trust that you're not like a lot of other women & me, coming from a christian home, my father is a pastor, & my parents are still married.
my life & family is like from a good book that he never believed was out there. It can be a fairytale ending. But, if it wasn't for prayers (which can change things) & God & my father, whose like his mentor, we would not be together today. Sometimes you got to take that leap of faith & hope for the best & make every day count.
