I saw that we're sort of on a Q&A phase....so here's mine
[spoiler] What do you all think about long distance relationships?
I ask because myself, I'm currently involved in a loooooooooong distance relationship. My girlfriend lives there in The Philippines. We have not met in person yet, however, I'm planning a trip there sometime withing the next year. I'm hoping for the end of this year, but I'm starting to think that's not going to be possible, though.
It's definitely one of the toughest relationships I've ever been in. Her and I are just as stubborn and crazy (mentally) as one another. Myself, I know that it's real. I have no doubts about my love and care for her, and I don't doubt her love and care for me (although somebody I know here in FTalk thinks otherwise...but that's ok because I appreciate that person's concern). Currently, my girlfriend and I are having another tough "situation". She was "missing in action" for over 4 days after the storm there in Phils. I was not able to reach her on the phone, and she had lost electricity early last Sunday morning. Finally, she made it to an internet cafe and I really, really was so relieved and happy. The only problem was that I just wanted to sit and chat with her, some quality time, you know? We hadn't talked in 4 days and I had missed her so much. But she was at the internet cafe with one of her friends and she was also doing some things online (probably at her FS) and I started to get upset because I would send her a message (in YM) and then it would take her 2 or 3 minutes to reply to me. And we got into a bit of an "argument" over it because she didn't seem to understand that I just wanted some quality time, she didn't seem to understand that I had missed her so badly. Was I expecting or asking for too much?
Anyway, since then she has deleted all my comments that I have left for her at her FS and she won't answer her phone when I call her. I know that when she gets mad, or when I piss her off, she just likes to be left alone. But, what do you all think? Seriously, was I asking for too much? Did I over react?
And also, just in general, what are your thoughts about long distance relationships?[/spoiler]
