Lambert and I met via christianet, in 2005 and after many months of just one line emails we finally got to talking one day in 2006 and we have been committed ever since. I was living in Trinidad and Tobago and he was studying in Tanzania when we met. He is from DR Congo and I am a Guyanese. Since that blessed day in may 2006 when he asked me to be his wife, he has moved from Tanzania to Angola, back to DR Congo and finally to Guyana. it took 4.5 year to see this man in the flesh and even now we are seperated again due to red tape in my country? He now resides in Brazil:-()....It has been a long and at times fustrating journey but we met by God's grace and got engaged, I have the faith that God will bring this journey to a close and then take us onto the next one within the year.... that one is our marriage life. I am 38 and he is 54. Distance is but a small hurdle if you have faith and believe that nothing is impossible with God! hold on to your love guys!!!!!
many blessings to all

I am quite young. I met my boyfriend on an art website. He read one of my poems back in September. It was about the girl I was dating at the time. (I am bi)
He was very supportive about my relationship with her. Later on, I had broken up with her she had cheated on me. A few weeks later, he had posted a "journal" on this website. He had mentioned MSN, and I said that I would love to chat with him sometime. Immediately we talked for hours and hours. He lives in England, and I'm in New York. After that conversation, I had to go. The next day I had a party to go to. He woke up at 4am just to talk to me that evening. It was around 11-12 at night for me. I had never dated anyone who cared about the little things as much as him. We started "dating" shortly after. We lasted about 2 months. And we both loved each other so very much.
After the break up, I knew I was going to fight to get him back. A few days after we broke up, he met a girl locally. They dated for around 3-4 months, we had still talked every single day though. He would always tell me that he never stopped caring about me, although he's happy with the new girl... But then one day they broke up. Me and him kept talking like we use to for a few weeks. He'd tell me how much he loved me... one thing he said was "Sarah-Sophia, Don't you think for a minute that I ever stopped loving you. Sure, I was with that other girl... but that's because you live so far and I don't want to make you wait for me. Although, I love you with all of my heart." See, the thing he didn't realize was how much I do love him. I am willing to sacrifice anything to be with him.
About a month ago, we got back together. We may not have a lot of time together, we may not have a lot on our side... We may be young. But I promise to you, I will marry that boy one day. I will move to his town and spend the rest of my life with him. No matter what it takes.

Wow. I am a little shocked myself to find that him and I live 4809 miles apart, after a little bit of googling. It certainly doesn't feel that way.
We have sort of a strange story, we met in a chatroom when I was grounded on a Saturday night at 14 and he was 17. Now I am 23 and he is 26. Anyway, we kept in contact throughout the years, but never really with any romantic interest until I, at 21, broke up with my ex. Later we found out that he had broken up with his ex on the exact same day! To make a long story somewhat shorter, I had a flight voucher for $1500 that needed to be used within a couple of months so we joked around about me flying there, because it was the farthest possible place I could fly to where I "knew" someone and it would use the entire voucher. Eventually the joking became flirting and against what most people would consider better judgement, I flew there and we have never looked back since. Well, except for the short one month period when we broke up because I freaked out about graduating university and not being able to find a job in Europe and my massive student debt, and the fact that we live a zillion miles apart.
Although we spend A LOT of money on each other throughout the year with alternating trips every 3-4 months to see each other, I feel like my life would be totally different without him in it. I use a cordless skype phone to talk to him pretty much everyday and we text each other sporadically. Although the time difference is sometimes difficult, we have managed through the very thick and very thin of our relationship, and somehow everything has worked out just fine.
Within a few months he will hopefully be filing for immigration to Canada if things go as planned, and from there only good things can come. I am also hoping to get into teacher's college so that eventually we have the freedom to find jobs internationally. It's the hardest relationship I've ever been in, but also the most intimate and rewarding. Being forced to talk to someone via the phone for months means that you better have things to talk about. I'm so glad I took a big leap of faith with him in our long distance relationship.

BUt the guy and the girl, they dated for something like 5 years, and she cheated on him with a douchebag guy who also makes me sick, every chance she got. I ended up moving to vegas about a year and ahalf ago,and i confessed m feelings that ive had for all theese years, he kinda pushed it aside, because he is faithful and didnt want to sink as lowas she did, i started really hating my life more and mor wihtout him in it, we stopped talking for about a year, and not too long he got online and startedtalking to me and we spilled our guts to eachother and now we are engaged to get married in decemeber but he is still forever miles away and he in the army, basic training right now, and i cant even hear his voice....but i know once he gets out of BT everything will work to our advantage, and i can not wait to spend the rest of my life with him...
