I am in a long distance relationship, and while I see many people saying it couldn't possibly work, I beg to differ. Out of the relationships in my life, this has been the most fulfilling. She's everything I want.

I have much more barriers than y'all have. My girl is in another country, and I won't be seeing her again until December. When it all came together, it was 4 days before she had to go back.

I have found there are great things about a long-distance relationship. I really get to know her on a level I don't think I would've known otherwise. There is nothing physical to rely on, it's all mental and emotional stimulation. You have to have chemistry, share interests, and also bring different things to the table. It's a beautiful thing. When I visit her, we'll do all the physical things to make up for lost time! 2 1/2 months this so far has lasted, and it only getting stronger.

It does require much faith and trust. I know she won't cheat, and neither would I. Your own feelings of jealousy, and insecurity is poison, which would wreck the relationship. But I'm not a weak man.

I'm willing to gamble for get her. That's all what it comes down to: if you are willing to take the risk. Your hopes could come crashing down at any moment, but you know what? If you think the person is worth it, do it.
