Penang & KL considered long or short ?

i'm currently in that distance with my partner, PEN - KL.
to me it's considered long distance because meeting each other daily or whenever you need it immediately is not exactly possible although it's not impossible..haha!

wondernoob describe it quite accurately smile.gif

as we all know, in every ldr, one person will have to make the move once you take the rship into marriage.

for those of you who have to make the big move, what's the biggest hurdle for you?
and how do you overcome them?

I got some information from one of her rl friend which i cant 100% confirm if its legit or not and found out that alot of things my "ex-gf"  told me were actually lies. I actually get kinda mad and hurt. But I've been thinking for awhile, and decided to tell her that lets get back to be just normal friend, i hope thats the best course of action and probably i would feel better and get over it sooner.

i'm sorry to hear that buddy sad.gif

How often do you guys contact each others? Im having problem which i want to contact him every hour.. if not im feel alone.. except during sleeping.

from my personal experience and also some dating advice i read in regards to LDR, give each other some space too, yes it might be unbearable at first (i'm just going to assume it's the start/honeymoon period of your rship.) but the absence and missing each other makes the next phone/skype call/meeting really really sweet.

and go slow on the conversation, you have a whole lot of time with each other to talk, don't sekaligus talk everything.

anyway, me and my gf skype almost every day/night. we text each other across the whole day when we are free or got things to ask each other.

The thing i like about LDR is it's really a test of faith, trust and communication between two people. When you are in a committed LDR that you both agree to work through it, one really gets a very good chance to truly know the partner, because you talk damn a lot! Sometimes I do see other couples having meals on the same table, and just playing with their mobile phones/food and not just talk with each other, which is kinda sad cause some people don't realise how hard and precious relationships can be,, and they take for granted. With all that said, I do envy those who can be with their significant other 24hours/7, because in my LDR, we are very emotionally connected, but I do miss the physical part of it. You know, just having the other person there to lean onto, during bad and good days.
*
i agree with you miyakochan. but i'm replying to FriskaMedina leh, where she say want to contact every hour, that can be a bit excessive and if you aren't careful, it might end up suffocating/stressing the other person (or end up making you looking like "overly attached gf".)

it's vday today, kinda wish i can be physically next to my gf right now sad.gif

reporting in since my first serious relationship since August 2017.

proposed for marriage but there's a lot of uncertainties and doubts growing within my gf/fiancee as we're both very different individuals and my financial status is not at a comfortable level to most girls and definitely not to her as she's financially much stronger than i am.

i definitely want to pull through this even though it is very difficult.

as justnits mentioned on the previous version, 168km is actually quite short, but at the same time, every weekend traveling has definitely put some strain to my already weak financial capabilities.
*
i get you man. though having said that, is the option of not travelling to meet her for a weekend or two possible?
are you always the one doing the travelling?
i take it that both of you are aware of each other's financial status also.

i used to have the same thinking as you, as in like if my financial status is not good, then in some ways, i am not worthy of loving anyone or deserving love.
but over the years, i come to learn that if a girl really loves you for who you are, your financial status doesn't matter much. (as long as you have proper job and decent income, and in certain ways responsible with your finances eg, know how to save, not boros, not a gambling addict and with massive ah long debt.)

btw, you have fully recovered from your previous accident already?
are you still paying for your medical bill? (just making some assumptions here as it concerns about financial status.)

very possible, we both fairly matured working adults after all, and both in the same IT industry so we understand how hectic it can be at times. Just that i believe our relationship is still very young  (since August 2017) so we probably still in that honeymoon stage and we both wanting to meet each other a lot.
Things toned down a huge notch after i proposed and we got engaged, maybe because of the things happening around me, and her being worrisome by nature. (having doubts of marrying me)

i'm mostly (almost always) the guy doing the traveling, probably cuz im a guy but i dont mind anyways since i really love driving/riding anyways lol
yes we are very well aware of our financial status, can say she's the finance minister already  bye.gif

Thanks for asking! it really depends on how defines fully recovery.
my implant is permanent, and according to doctors who have no idea themselves, my pain seems permanent as well.
and yes i am still in pain to this very second as i am typing this post, be it sleep, laying down/sit/standing anything, there will be constant nagging pain at my back, and it gets worse as i move any muscle involving my upper torso/neck (which means just about any activity lol)

technically only paid once, and thats fully paid by insurance. unless you count the occasional pain relieves like salonpas/yokoyoko lol
but naw my condition isnt a problem in our relationship.
we've been living together since our 3rd date (only weekends, obviously) and needless to say there's no way to hide a super long scar lol.
*
mine's around May/June 2017 tongue.gif
and you proposed faster than me! lol! (need to cut down on expenses, and that includes travelling if wanna get married bye.gif )
so yeah, there's a little bit more distance between me n my girl compared to yours, so we can't be seeing each other every weekends.
even once every 2 weeks can put a huge dent already. so i've been trying to control the frequency of travelling, we both can travel, but like you, i prefer that i'm the one doing the travel because it's more economical for me to do so. (and maybe a little bit got to do with the "guy-must-do-this" punya thing lol!)

whoa, what's the part about having doubts about marrying you? did she mentioned it to you or you go by your own assumptions?

yikes man, sorry that you have to go through that. glad to see that you have good spirit and are able to ride normally again despite what had happen to you, keep it up! thumbsup.gif

Same here. I learned this in a hard way with my ex and my current gf. My ex dumped me because of my family financial status BUT not big of a deal because it is all sorted out. Whereas for my current gf, she earns more than me due to her higher qualification but she loves me dearly for who I am.

It's a stark contrast from my past and current experience.
