So I searched the board and found a previous LDR thread that sparked lots of flames, but my intentions with this one are quite different.. anyone dealing with long distance international relationships?
Anyway, I just posted my intro so here's the gist: I'm an American living in Dubai and my bf of 8 months lives in South Africa (I met him during training but he left the company for personal/family related reasons). I am usually against LDR (I was in one back home with a guy who lived a 2 hour drive which turned into a 6 hour flight to Hawaii and then ended because he decided to stay there) but this feels so special and so right, and we both really want it! And even though we haven't been together long, he's even made a few mentions about getting married...
I'm a flight attendant so I get to see him 2-3 times a month in his hometown of Johannesburg, only for 24 hour layovers. But he just started training as cabin crew for an SA airline, so I'm worried our rosters won't match up well when he starts flying, but we'll cross that bridge. Plus his internet has been down for weeks (someone stole some main cables around his neighborhood.. gotta love SA) and they don't know when it'll be set up. Plus, I had a trip this past weekend but was taken off due to some rest issues (I was so upset!) But I get to see him again this weekend, so I'm happy again.
Anyway, what's your situation?
