Long distance relationships are not easy. If one or both you are good with traveling, then I think those relationships can be made to work. But I'm not a traveler. I have a learning disability that gives me extra problems when I'm on the road. I also have physical problems with my stomach, and allergies that makes traveling around hard. That also boosts my levels of anxiety. Which then makes my stomach feel even worse.
Anyways, when I first got the internet. 2002, I primarily used it to talk to women. I developed many little online long distance relationships that didn't go anywhere. About 5 of those women, I talked too on the cell phone. But that is as far as it went. I'll never forget the woman that broke up with me. I remember doing a lot of praying, and thinking over, how can we find a way of getting together, and all of a sudden I get a message saying: "I just don't feel the same about you anymore" I went into depression for a month. When I came out of it, I sorta backed off on the long distance thing. I just won't allow myself to get my hopes up. Now days I prefer women who live in my backyard. Because that way, I can be with her, in real life, like the way God intended.
With all of that being said.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask that you will make this relationship work. And if it doesn't, I ask that you will protect my friend's heart. And help these two to manage things so that there is no pain or suffering.
In Jesus Name.
Amen.
