I dunno how to ask this but yet again i need help with my relationship.
Ive been in a long distant relationship for over a year now and it been up and down most of the time. The other day i had another disagreement with my girl about why she doesnt talk to me much ,she told me it was cause she finds it hard to type to me cause english is not her first language which i can understand this cause it be the same if i new abit of her language but the problems with this is it seems she has no problem telling me what i am doing wrong but finds it hard to type any else, there is alot more to this so i will try explain it the best i can , she also told me that she was sick of spending time online and feels i demand her to be here and i demand her to tell me where she goes etc which confueses me cause all the time i have told her i never want to force you to be here if you prefer to be out doing other things , then she tells me she will come online when she feels like it and this kinda got my head thinking cause i seem to alway wait early in the morning everyday and not even complain about it and when ever i tell her how i feel about something it seems she turns it around and blames me so then i feel more and more hurt
After we stopped arguing, she said she needs time which i was happy to give her as much time she needed, just incase she really didnt mean that she was sick of being here but then i thought i needed time too and told her that and realised if she isnt happy i’ll give her up no matter how much i love her,her happyness is more important to me, then she message me and tells me she loves me and said i make her happy and she couldnt ever find someone just like me which made me happy but then again she starts saying but i want to be here when i feel like it and that it makes my eyes hurt .I tried to understand but its to confuesing cause when i go to bed early and not online when she is , she gets upset so i try not to sleep and stay up with her until 5:00 in the morning which now is causing health problems and making it hard for me to keep my health in good shape and my depression but seems she does not care for me at all. its all way to confusing and i feel she is pushing me away, which now it is and i am starting to feel i wasted 1 year on her loving her doing nice things, trying so hard to make it work , cause it is hard to have a distant relationship and i just wanted to make it a bit easier and thought we had something that most couples dont have and thats communication cause that is the only thing we can do together but seems thats going down the drain.
Now i dont even want to be online anymore a feel i will never be able to tell her how i feel and feel everytime we talk she thinking she wishes she was never here
i even think maybe i am boring or she wants someone else or at least met other men
and that i am not that important to her. I am really confuesed and for the first time in a year i have thought about other girls and feel my love is dying . all i want is to love her and to be loved , have someone who doesnt complain about being around me
i dont think i am worth love half the time and trusting now is even harder, she has broken my heart 4 good but my love is forever strong and i’ll never stop loving her, even tho its painful and dying i know everytime i write a poem or do something for her , her happyness when i give ,makes that wound close but really can i go on with this? when i could find someone who is just as happy to spend time with me as i am
sorry this is long
heres a poem i did for her the other day
I could get on a plane
Hide away in a boat
Catch a train
To be by your side
I could swim Through
Many Seas
Walk Miles on this land
Climb All the Mountains
To hold you my dear
Kiss your lips so tender
wipping away your tears

I am saving money to met her but it may take another year as i am now out of a job.
We both want to meet and hopfully spend the rest of our lives together, ive never known someone like her before she very special.
Does she feel the same? If you both feel that way you should stick it through. This world is so messed up it really is best to have a soul mate to go through it with.
Yeh she does i hope she always says she wants to met but i find it sometimes hard to believe at times since she has so many excuses and ends it when i open up to her about how i feel about things that bring me down.
I kinda feel i am getting in the way and taking up to much of her time
she always complains about it ,saying she spends all her spare time with me
and now i feel maybe i shouldnt be around much and to stop ringing her and txting
Maybe back off a little on the rining and txting if she seems annoyed. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Even couples in love need to have some separate interests and other friends. That keeps the relationship healthy.
I know exactly how you feel monkey, my last relationship was semi long distance but she never really put much effort into it and i kept on trying and giving her chances and struggling to make it work but in the end it wasn’t ment to be.. but every relationship has its up and downs, my parents have been married for 20 years and they fight some times but look how long they have lasted.. I guess what i’m saying is just try to make it work but make sure she’s trying also and so you’re not the only person doing the loving.. if you can make sense of all this..
ty smo I guess what you are saying is right. i think i give myself some more time to think about what i want. I think i put to much thought into the relationship and less thought to my life.i dunno but maybe it not ment to be but i do love her and think i will forever.
I think you should tale some time to yourself and think about what you want, if she wants to be with you she’ll message you or something.. not that i’m telling you what to do..
I think i need to do that , i have a lot of things i need to figure out , like gettin a job and my health better just feel if i spend to much time on myself i may lose her.
im going thru the exact thing….try reading my post….i feel so depressed and i just dont know what to tell you…right now im trying to give my boy friend a bit of space…which could work both ways…buts he doesnt prefer that…try reading my post and the responses maybe it could help you…
I guess it depends how much time you really spend speaking to her dear. Just remember she fell in love with a guy who has outside interests as well. Give it a bit of slack and try and sort your side of the world out. If it was meant to be she will not dissappear over night. Ill keep thumbs for you both because there is nothing like having somebody who cares. Amy

Hi there mate,
Here is some advise, I really hope you take up on. All woman like a challenge, they do not always admit to this as they don’t know it. It is in their DNA. Just go back to any relationship you had with woman and you will find that the reason that she was attracted to you was because you came across as a ‘price’. Looks on a guy can be important, but beleive me if you are a confident man you will not fail. Try not to come across to needy, poems and loving words are nice, but if she has it all, what is she going to look forward to having?. Do you see my point,make it a challenge, let her win you back.
Let me know if you need more tips, but try this one out. No woman likes needy, dependant guys. It is just not attractive for them.
It is not a surprise because many people are having the same kind of relationship. Truly, communication should begin from both parties and it feels like hell when one does not feel the same depth the other one is feeling. If distance is difficult to deal with in a relationship, how much more when language is involved. English is also not my mother tongue. And my partner lives oceans away from me. If i was in your girl’s shoes, i would also have a double difficulty dealing with it.
Maybe your girl thinks that she feels helpless not being able to make you happy because you have these worries. As much as you want to hold you and make you feel better but she could not. And she feels that he words are not efficient to get light hearted with things. As a result, she feels down and feels useless.
Try not to concentrate too much with your girl. Sometimes she needs to see that you are in control. And that if you’d get together and end up together you could be the leader of the pack.
Take control over your health. In order not to lose some sleep you can sleep in the morning and be up when she is online. But remember not to sacrifice too much or you’ll end up feeling lousy.
A man needs to gain his power even just a bit. You will need it.

I find it hard to make it a challenge, its something i never want to do in any relatonship i felt if i dont give all i’ll be dumped but i will take on your advice
and thank you.

:) Keep us posted.
Your advice is always right :) she does feel helpless and i dont want her to feel that way no more.
I think i am looking at her wrong and maybe it time i start to listen to her.
just a few questions
how do i gain power?
how do i come less needy?
How do i trust after being cheated on?(past relationship)
and one for the ladies , what do you really look in a guy?
To gain power: practice self confidence. Be self assured that you could do things and make them work, develop a positive attitude. Most of the time, guys like to measure their power through financial aspects or career moves. Search for trainings or seminars that would help you widen your horizon on which job to take inline with your major or field of interest. That way you would have better fulfillment. Thus, would make you less stressed. Because most men when stressed are could not deal with emotions. They tend to escape and feel isolated.
To come less needy: when you have identified your own strengths at work, social life, and emotional capacity, you would get the same self assurance that would help you make it through. Having friends in real life would help, having a hobby, develop a sport or other interest aside from your girl could develop independence.
How do you trust after having been cheated before: wow this sounds very familiar. Any relationship is with no assurance. Therefore, make sure the person gives the same amount of attention you are giving her. Not necessarily clinging to you totally because love is all about give and take. Long distance relationships require more trust than the usual face to face relationship because more than a 100% percent is needed. BUT, communication makes it all possible. When the feeling is reciprocated, when the other person does her job to make you happy, and being listened to, i don’t think you’d have a very big problem.
What Do ladies look in a guy: We are talking about ladies coming from different culture, religion and environment. Which means every woman has different things to consider in a relationship. Therefore, it is important for a guy to know what this particular lady expect of him when they are inlove. Does she expect him to be independent or would show too much attention? Does she want you to call her to hear your voice or she is happier when she gets mails. Does she want to be pampered and treated like a queen? or she wants to practice independence herself.
All in all, it takes a lot of time to get to know the person before knowing what you both want in the relationship. All the above, are just my opinion based in my observation in my tiny world. :)
I’ve been working on a career for many years but when i start getting somewhere it fails
and having depression also really makes it hard for me to have self confidence in anything
I have many different interest and some i have studied and worked in but i am never happy with my work
and start to lose hope in that job . I know a few of my strengths but cant seem to put those strengths into anything
only strength i think i have, that i am doing is not giving up.
I dont spend to much time anymore with my friends I feel they bring be down to much
and i dont have much in common with them no more, since i stopped drinking
and dont like going out to night clubs/pubs and none of my friends like to do any of the samething i like to do.
I use to surf everyday and play guitar but had no one who liked to do the samethings so i gave up and tried new things,
Mostly things they liked.
I agree i do need to find other things and i think i might start surfing again and doing all the other things i like
other then my girl, she has told me many times that she wants me to start doing things insteed of being on the computer
or sitting at home by myself and now i see she does care :) I think i’ll be more happy.
You are really good at advice :) everything you have said really has opend my eyes
and has givin me cofidence and understanding.
I think i will ask her what she wants in me
I know she likes to hear my voice but everything else i am not sure on.
Thank you for appreciating my thoughts. Most of the time, I don’t think I am good at giving one. My words do not match and my spelling sucks! and you know, i see the whole thing wrong when i have sent a reply and i cannot even edit it. gggrrr! :)
But you know, i do wish i can hear you laugh. ( i mean with the smilies and stuff in your post). You seem to be a nice person, respectful and polite in your post. You deserve to have friends, i even think some people are just waiting to befriend you, all you need to do is to reach out to them.
Have you tried volunteering at Red Cross? you’d get to meet people and you can get some fulfillment on it and other voluntary works.
Well, i have said too much in this post and you don’t want to see my name the whole time, so you see I talk a lot! lol
Have some laughing time will you? SMILE! you will look a LOOOTTT better!
ty :)I guess i struggle to see any good in myself but i am working on that
I see a psychologist tomorrow so hopefully i can finely get myself together.
I havn’t done any volunteer work but i am thinking of volunteering in
rescue or helping wild animals.
Your thoughts are very good and your spelling is way better then mine trust me
:)i wouldnt worry about that i think you are great :)
Seing your name does not bother me one bit and i think its good you talk a lot
I will try and laugh more and give the smiling ago.
just one last thing , you said english isn’t your first language may i ask what language you do speak?
ty. its still only early days but the advice you have givin me, makes me understand her and myself a lot better
I guess the only reason why i feel so bad and have these worries is cause i am not making much of a life for myself.
Quotable! very good realization! :) now the next step is…. trying to get yourself a life! Let me know how you are going to do about it. Then we’ll see how it goes.
