Realistically speaking, how long can you wait for someone..? Where you and your
bf/gf/partner are separated for one reason or another for an extended period of
time and wait for each other until the time when you can reunite..? Is 'love'
worth endlessly waiting for?
For example, I have a friend whose bf just went to the army and will be there
for two years with very little vacation time. My friend also will not be able to
go to her home country (she's in the USA) more than twice a year, with no
guarantee that she'll be able to see him during those times... They can barely
see each other or even talk to each other, but she's planning on waiting for him
anyway. But I don't know anyone who actually succeeded waiting for their
boyfriends in the army, and it seems too irresponsible/naively romantic to say
that you will wait for someone for that long.
Or another example. There's a couple that tried to maintain their relationship
through long distance and other unfortunate circumstances (e.g. both parents
hate the bf/gf, or both are just way too busy physically and emotionally for a
relationship). But eventually, the guy/girl gives in and says that he/she wants
to remain friends or break up or whatever u want to call it. If their feelings
are still there after a while, he/she says that maybe they'll be able to get
back together.
If you were to be in/have been in a similar situation, how long do you
think/have you can keep your feelings alive for the other person?
I dunno.. these issues suddenly became personally relevant to me these days and
its getting me all feeling down and depressed and whatnot. So I'd like to know
what you guys think. And I'm VERY sorry if this is a repeat thread - please
delete shinsengumi-san, if it is. I did try searching ^^;
dont feel down love it happens.
i had that happen when my husband joined the Air Force and we were separated for
about 9 months. true it wasnt to long but he gets sent every where the military
wants him at any time for any length of time.
yes it's hard to wait for him without thinking that i should give up but love is
always worth it.
if you found the right person and you know without a doubt the s/he is the one
then stick with it. true it does hurt to be away from them for how ever long it
is for but you can get through it without a problem if you love them strong
enough.
My girlfriend and I hope that nothing comes between us between now and the time
we both graduate from college. This should be in about 3 years, but I hope we
see each other sooner than that just to make sure we stay together and not drift
from each other. Even if we don't see each other, I'll still wait out the 3
years because I love my girlfriend so much, not forgetting to do my chores and
any other important things. I know there is a possibility that she may leave me
for some other guy, or some other girl approaches me (which happened today,
which made me happy that I can still be approached) and may want a relationship
out of me, but I chose to wait and that is something I will do. To be able to
wait 3 years for such togetherness is a long time, but if the both of us don't
make any attempts to be with other people, it shows how much we really care for
each other.
i will wait til i find the person for me...through dating ppl. i mean, u
seriously can't expect to marry a guy without going through the rest and finding
out if that is the "one". and the longest im remained with some1 is
prob 8 months...pretty long eh. funny thing is, when i was little, i used to
believe in true love, a soul mate, the "person just for me"(jeez i
sound like chii )..yeah
and now, through looking at all divorces and others, im not sure of that anymore
...but some of my friends still think im childish abou tlove and need to growup
I think it depends on how long you have been with that person before you are
separated. If you have already been with eachother for many many years then
there is a chance you could wait "forever". It also depends on the
person. For me however, I dont' know how long I could wait, never been faced
with that situation, but I'd like to think I would wait forever, but probably
wouldn't. I couldn't always be missing someone, I'd need someone who is always
there. My dad is gone most of the week and only comes home on weekends, I can't
imagine being with someone like that, and he is not even gone for months or
years.
yea on the one hand it seems like waiting for the other person is totally doable
and is the logical thing to do if people think they're in love, but the question
of being realistic stumps me.
Like really, how do you know this person is THE person for you when you could be
totally blinded by your emotions? And what if you limit your chances to meet
someone better (or the real soulmate, if you believe in that) because you're
waiting..? Hm. Or maybe the fact that you decide to wait forever is a possible
indication that this person is the one?
I guess we would all want to say that we will wait foreevr for them, but in
reality, that doesn't happen very often. there are always some one else that
tempts us, and after some time we will have doubpt about the other person. I
know i would wait for the person for as long as i can, but I can't really say
how long.
I Will wait until the time tell me that i have no longer to wait for my fate
because i have my own destiny ahead. When i have no longer to sail the sea coz
the sea dried away or maybe when i my smiling tears had become a sad tears.
I always want to believe in the best of any body as much as I can. The reason
why I want to believe in the best of people is because I give people the best in
me. Though I'm always the one getting hurt because I try to hold on to something
that will not work out. But I never want to give up or at lease know... I tried.
So some where along the line I wouldn't doubt my self to think... what would
have happen if I tried. An example of what you said... My brother went to jail
for about 5 years. He was in love for the 1st time in his life with this girl.
My brother never been this way with anyone. She said she would wait for him but
not even under a year... You had someone new. And what you said... over here
made me think...

Theirs no point to hold on to some one that does
not love you for you... But if that person loves you and have to leave in
anyway? I will try my best to be with the person still, even if it means to
fight a war I don't believe is right. I'll be by the one I love side until the
day I die. I know I'm an idiot to think this way. But I know I'm an honest idiot

I'll wait forever. Yes, I'm that loyal and darn-right stupid. And I feel that the other person will do the same because hey, we're both idiots.
dont feel down love it happens.

yeah i would wait as long as i live. Unless i hear that she died.
I waited for a guy to get out of the service for two years, but then he wanted to let me go, so I guess I can wait for a guy if he'll wait for me.
I guess we would all want to say that we will wait foreevr for them, but in reality, that doesn't happen very often. there are always some one else that tempts us, and after some time we will have doubpt about the other person.

i dont wait under five minutes because i can't wait for other people either these person is my love
I waited for one girl for 8years....she was worth it...
