Things that don't kill us Make us Stronger?

Does long distance relationships come under this topic? Me and tumble have been together 9 months now, it hasnt been easy - theres 80 odd miles between us, we see each other when we can. But it hasnt killed us and it wont do, infact its made what we have together better, cos when we see each other its the best thing ever ... But saying that i know people who havent been able to make it work and have ended it after a few months at uni.... i can count on one hand the number of people who havent let distance get to them, and me and Tim are in that number!

We are at the final stages, her house is looking sold if this sale does finally go through (had a couple of nearly then nothing for months & months). She is back to work and her transfer here is progressing nicely. Soon, really really soon

We have our plans laid out with mostly wireless LAN as we have to house..

My dual AMD server
Her shuttle
Our 3 full size towers
Our 2 laptops
Her insane dog
Our collective stockpile of PC parts
Two filter coffee machines
Countless amounts of DVD's, CD's, records...
Just loads and loads of stuff..

hehehehehe moving in is gonna be great

Look at it like this, if you can survive the hardest moments, when you really miss them, feel lost and hate them being so far away from you (and you know they are feeling the same).. almost anything you have to face once you are together.. will seem childs play in comparison

Where is she from? yeah we are coping fairly well tbh, much better then either of us expected... its just when the day comes to going home, like today its horrible... esph if one of you is having a bad day already and the other is just upset about leaving, its nasty... (yes we had tears when he came home for lunch )

But we have survived the moments when it was most likely to get damaged, i.e. at the beginning and it didnt... its really nice to be able to pick up the phone and know there is someone else who probably feels exactly the same way, or knows u well enough to cheer u up. Thats one of the advantages to being so far apart

Yorkshire - 300miles from me *sigh*

She has been moved onto six days early/late shifts for the last two months, thats been the hardest time. She would have walked by now, but we can't afford her mortgage and rent on our salaries, so here we stay. Just doesn't leave alot of time to get together when we are both working stupid hours all the time. It's not permanent though. Il be glad when she's no longer a police officer, lunatics that walk the streets some nights

We all have bad days, it's only human. You can't try and pretend each day that you do get in person together.. is gonna be great and you aren't gonna maybe get snappy or tired or down. That's human nature for you.

The main thing is the understanding. No matter where they are, they understand ya, you are on a winner

My girl knows I can get snappy, get overloaded with work & seem pre-occupied and can be untidy. I know she can be moody, argumentative and will not want to talk much after a bad day @ work. If you can understand and you realise that's just the way they are, then it doesn't matter where they are.. they can pick ya up

Sounds familiar! Tim doesnt talk much when he gets in from work, just wants a hug and a read of his forums and is untidy to say the least!!!
He knows i can be a moody cow. and sometimes argues for the sake of it..... he also knows that if he leaves me alone, once the black cloud has past i usually realise im being stupid and am sorry for whatever i said. It is nice to know someone understands you, and can accept u for u are and still love ya
