My Fiance and I have been dating long distance for quite awhile now so even though this process is tough, it actually makes me much happier to finally be starting this process and be on our way to being together!

But to cope with the distance and the waiting I've found exercise is one of the best things, an hour every day and you'll feel thousand times better by the end of the week.

Also, I obsess/stress and cry. DAILY. Without fail.

That's love for ya. A real kick in the crotch......

We all just want to get on with our lives together. I understand that it involves a process, but man...this is brutal.

My husband and I have been at this long-distance thing for close to six years now. The very worst part of it thus far was our time at the NVC. Honestly? I prayed, cried, ranted on VJ, cried some more, whined, prayed some more, slept a LOT. Nothing works. I just want my husband here.

Married 2008
