long distance relationship: how long is too long?

I been in long distance relationship for a year and a half. Truth be told I am tired of waiting. My biggest fear is we will never be together. I also fear he has lost some of the passion he had for me. Even though we still spend 12-14 hours on skype a day is that enough? He is really great and he is my soulmate it is just this waiting. I feel like my heart and soul is half way across the world. usually I am the one motivating others, but right now I feel like I have fallen in a million pieces. Has it been too long already or am I not being patient enough?

I think you are just not being patient enough, unless you are older and you feel that your time is ticking away faster then you can hold onto it, then you should move on, but a year and a half? that could be long to some people, but time allows you to know the person better before you really want to move ahead with living with them and seeing them every single day when you wake up. I have been in a LDR with my bf for over 7 years. We have our ups and downs, but then when I lived with him for a few months when I took a month vacation off, I realized that I was not ready to move in and commit myself to him. I told him that if he is tired of waiting, he can move on with or without me. Though that may sound selfish, we do communicate and we do talk about money, family, and living together all the time, so we aren't lack of communication. many people just has that patience, and other people don't. you need to realize that its YOUR life and only you can live it and decide what to do.

Sounds like you're stuck in the transition period between being in a relationship and taking the next step ad getting engaged/married! As long as you two are able to trust one another and communicate without any issue... I say STAY PATIENT SISTER. My ex bf from college transferred a year into our relationship... We'd basically lived together beforehand planned a future all that good stuff.... and I could barely get him to answer the phone when he moved. Our relationship ended when I found out about his new gf who he'd met the first week of being at his new school. Don't take this soulmate connection for granted. You have no idea how lucky you are to have found a man that will Skype with you for that long!! Hahah take care. xo- caro
