you font believe in love at first site david??

Love is magical and has its way of making dreams come true... You can keep a distance relationship until there is a union.

i agree with you shella

LDR might work if both aides ha e the maturity and true intent to make it work. It takes a toll on both ends and trust is critical. We have this saying in South America: LDR. The 4 are happy!

That sounds like a polygamous LDR Angie

I

LMBO but they are all happy!!!

Its like Buying a gun and not using it! without knowing the which gun u buyed!

First purchase bullet an learn to use it..

No its not Normal for most people.

When you meet inperson and spend quality time together, then you know if its love.

How can a person marry if they never met!

The military allows proxy marriages in some cases. sometimes the "man" and "wife" have never met in person. Proxy means they are countries apart so there is a strange woman standing with him saying vows and a strange man standing with the wife-to-be saying vows. The clergy and all participants are aware of what is going on & the couple is actually married. p.s. not for me.

I totally agree with you.

long distance relationships can work if the ppl are willing to make it work. But there has to be a strong means of Trust, communication, and honesty. It's more to it than talking on the phone. you need to be in that persons space from time to time. that means visitations. A lot of ppl are now throwing the "I love you" at anyone like it's a pack of candy. Especially after a few days of talking.. So fake.Love comes after a period of time together. Those three words as we know has power. And some ppl like to use those words to their advantage to reel in someone to have them believe they really do care about them, but really it's all for a personal gain. But if two people are in a long distance relationship and they can prove to each other they are serious and take the time to actually work at it from a distance it can work. But if one is trying and the other isn't, don't waste your time, keep looking. because as we all know you have to work with any relationship you start near or far

No matter how far it is, love wins!

Long distance is really difficult. No matter how often you have talked or even video chatted with someone, you can't really know them until you've spent a lot of time together in person. For that reason, I would never recommend marrying someone you've never met and spent a LOT of time together in person.

I'm engaged to someone I met here on Mingle. We are both American, but due to my international career, we live in different countries (6,000 miles apart). We are fortunate in that we are both able to travel to see each other pretty regularly. If we did not have that ability, I'm pretty sure it would have fizzled out quite a while ago. After the first month of video chatting, we were dying to meet up in person. Our first in-person visit was less than two months after we first started talking. Even with our regular visits, it's still difficult. I do not recommend intentionally seeking out a long-distance relationship. But if you meet someone amazing and it just sort of happens unexpectedly, and if you have the ability to see each other regularly, long-distance can definitely work, providing both partners are "all in".

I've been in a long distance relationship for 12 years I'm married me and my husband first met in 2010 he was down in the Philippines to have dental work done while he was on vacation. he was working for the United States defense department in Iraq. he would come visit me every 4 months this continue on for 4 years. after 4 years of visiting me every 4 months and my two boys he had to return back to the United States to look for work. he was able to come visit me once a year because how American jobs are they don't want you to take a vacation. we have a son also together we have a very strong relationship even though I don't see you in very often we chat every single day. he even signs into my laptop to check on me and I always laugh when I walked by my laptop and I see his handsome face watching TV with the boys. many years ago he explained to me life is very difficult in the United States when he retires he's going to move down to the Philippines life is much simpler. we can easy live off of his social security check when he retires. this is just a sample long distance relationships can work if you have a good understanding and a good base to support your relationship. important information is a trust each other.

my husband Daniel always says this would be a good story to tell the world. we should be on Netflix

I didn't know you could marry someone online o_O

from what I've heard you can marry yourself if you wanted to online maybe you better off that way

No offense, and I could be wrong, but all that sounds like one huge red flag.
Why is life difficult in the US? Sounds like a big red alert. And why haven't you ever visited him?
As it is -from what you tell- he's living his own merry life in the US, leaves you in the Philippines to enjoy whenever he feels like it. Since he married you (there no doubt) you'll not stray, so he's sure to have someone clean and loyal.
You know nothing of his real life. He could be married with children. When you love someone you want them near and he could've gotten you to the US by now.
It all sounds fishy...
