Him being in California and me being in central Europe, we have 9 hours in between us.

Apart from the obvious down side of not being together , this time difference works good for me as we can communicate in the morning and in the evening my time. I'm not distracted too much from work and studies during the day. On the other hand, I always bug him at work , but he doesn't mind at all (of course).

I was so confused during the past two weeks when the USA changed to Daylight Savings Time while Europe kept the winter time until last night. We had an 8-hour difference and I didn't like it at all, I never caught him up in the evening (his) when I woke up in the morning (mine)...

Anyway, I was just curious about how other people cope with the time differences. So?

She call me at 11-12pm when she is going to bed and it is 5-6am in the morning on my end. We usually talk for an hour and it works pretty well. I'm glad the time difference is not less than 5 hrs though, as that would make it harder for us to talk this way.

With Ombeni in Tanzania and me in Wisconsin, we are either 8 or 9 hours apart depending on Daylight Savings Time. I also think it's a good amount of time to be separated! I can call him before I go to bed to say good morning to him, and he can say goodnight to me.

Liberia is now 5 hours ahead of me. It was bad for us when it was a 6 hour difference, I never got used to catching him and I was confused the whole time. With daylight savings time, it changed back to 5 and life has been good again, lol.

I am in Arkansas and he is in Nigeria this is a 6 hour difference right now. When the time changes again it will be a 7 hour difference. It feels like a lifetime away though.

Dave and I are 6 hours apart. For the past year, I had been working overnights, which was pretty perfect for us. I was a few hours ahead in my day before he was getting up for his lol I'd get off work, do my thing, he'd get off work, we'd talked awhile and then I was off to bed. Now I've started a day job, and we've talked on my lunch break and then when I got off work (I've only been at this job a week and with the daylight saving time difference of only 5 hrs, it helped a lil bit) Hopefully though, we will only have to deal with this for another two weeks, as his interview is on Wednesday. Its sometimes hard to cope, but I know that I was willing to lose an hour of sleep here and there just to talk to my baby.

5 hours for us... He always seems to get home when I'm eating, its a pain...

My fiance is in England...and I'm in Ohio. We have a 5 hour time difference between us...and it's been that way for the last 2 years... When I'm getting up in the morning..he's at work.. when I get home from work..it's usually around 11 pm his time.... that's when I log on to the computer... and we usually talk "face to face" using our headsets and webcams. Now, before I got a computer..it was constant texting one another, leaving emails and calling one another in the evenings...and we realized with what we were shelling out in phone bills, I could get a computer..so I did..lol.

Thing is..you have to make every moment a special one.. cherish the time you are able to spend..even if it's thru a virtual connection. We usually will spend Sundays chatting and talking with one another.. I do stress not to sit at the computer all day long tho...you still have to live your life..as if your loved one is just away on a trip...and they must do the same... Think of the times when there was no computer...all you had was snail mail. Pete and I have learned that communication..no matter in what form is the key..even if it's sending your loved one a silly graphic.. That counts for something being that we are so far apart. Our love is deep and we know it's true. We have nothing but trust between one another. It is hard with the time difference..but if it's meant to be...love will find its way of helping each of you cope.

7 hours

We are 12 yours apart. NY and PI. We talk 2 times a day. Im not looking forward to the phone bill.

7 hours now that we have changed but back to 8 hours when Egypt changes at the end of April!!

5 to Morocco, he comes home for lunch on the weekends and im having my morning coffee, at night im getting home from work, we talk for while, he goes to bed and i still have the whole evening to go.

You should really consider vonage. I think it is great. They have unlimited calls to UK landlines (and a few other european countries). So you already have to have cable internet, and the monthly subscription is around $20. This allows unlimited calls throughout the US and Canada and then to certain European countries. Saves an absolute fortune and you can always talk on the phone!! www.vonage.com

Thanks for the info! I'll have to check into it. I know I have a plan now with my phone company..and it's pretty good...I've never paid more than 2 dollars on any of the calls. It's nice with the web cam and headsets on msn or skype. We can see each other and hear one another's voice....which makes us feel that much more closer being able to see one another. I haven't had an outrageous bill in a couple years..basically after I'd wised up... Now...I don't have any outrageous bills when it comes to long distance....

I know I just returned last Tuesday from the UK, and they can dial 1877 before the 0114 and the number and it is very cheap. That's what my fiance and his parents both use.

6 hours....I'm in England and he's in Louisiana

It was 14 but because of day-light savings it's now 13

I was so confused during these past two weeks too - I hated it. You'd think that one hour wouldn't make that much of a difference, but it completely screwed up our schedule. Now he's back on track and I'm happy again!

I'm in Boston, he's in Paris - we're back to 6 hours difference.

Mikey's in Maine and I'm in Eastern europe....very unpleasant!!! i wanna wake up in the morning and see his eyes

0 hrs. Even when we were far apart...

15 hours!!!! I call her before work when she's going to sleep, and text her after work when she's getting up. We've settled into a nice routine.

He is 8 hours ahead.

My fiancee is 10 hours ahead of me. I'm in California, she's in Ukraine. I'm lucky being self-employed and working out of my home. I spend about 4 hours a day with her. But sometimes, she gets to sit and just watch me through the webcam and actually do some work

He's 7 hours ahead of me
But I can't complaint though............few months ago he resigned from his job and took a little break before starting his new job so for about that month that he was off, he was on computer with me the whole night. I would come home around 7pm and he would wait for me and stay with me on computer through web camera all night and not going to sleep at all, and then few times he went straight to school after our conversations, so he was beat up but he would never miss school ( talking about great student ) So few times he did that and then he had a lot of catching up to do with his naps Unfortunately now with his school and work he can't spend that much time on computer due to his different schedule but we manage . I wish I could bring that time back, but hey i know it's impossible But we speak everyday and I am more than happy at least for that

We're lucky in that respect. None.

we have 12 hours time difference.
I'm here in Kentucky and she's in Surigao Philippines.

We have only a 2 hour time difference yet 9 hour airplane flight distance

Don't Forget!....
Europe (and others too I imagine) Changed to 'Summer-Time' (1-hour forward) Last Night...

I'll trade you time differences! Whenever I fly to Ukraine from California, I have to go through 2 other airports and with the wait time at airports, my trip to her is about 20 hours. I forgot to add in the time to go back and forth from the airport also...add 2 more hours.

I live in Denver, CO and my husband lives in Colombia. Right now there is only an hour difference since we changed the clock a couple of weeks ago. But in the winter time we have a 2 hour gap.

And yes, because I live almost in the middle of the country my flight to Colombia takes me an average of 12-13 hrs because of all the stupid lay overs.

12 or 13 hour diffrence depending on DST. 25-30 hour flight time, depending on the airline and connections.

My wife's country, Cambodia, have no daylight savings day. So, for a few months her time is 12 hours ahead. And, for a few months her time is 11 hours ahead.

I live in an area with daylight savings.

13 Hours between Kansas and Philippines.

12 hours... It's crazy that whenever I greet him good night, he greets me back good morning

Wow. Right now he's one hour behind because of DST but the rest of the year we're on the same time. I like it this way because he's an early to bed, early to riser and I usually call late. It's a 4 hour flight from here to there.

There's 2 hrs between us... Him Jamaica me California

We had an 8 hour difference,but with DST it is now 7 hours. I generally call him at all hours and talk. But, I mainly try to call him in his morning.




I know that's always funny.

8 long hours, but I live in the future (if you will)

my suggession is to buy a calling card(NOMI CALL.........white one caz there r diffrent colours from this company with the same name)White card is good u can call US unlimitted from 8pm evening to 8am morning and its just 3£ one card lasts for thirty days................fun

We're 5 hours apart. I was really enjoying the last few weeks of being only 4 hours apart. Thankfully he's the one that's ahead of me. He just doesn't sleep. We talk almost every single night on the phone till about 1 or 2 am his time then he sleeps. Whereas I still have the rest of the evening to unwind before I sleep. Right now I'm sorta just hanging out on the computer waiting for him to get home from work!

It was 16 hours for us when Claudeth was still in the Philippines. She would go to a Internet cafe at about 10:00am so it would be 6:00pm the night before. It worked really good for us.

4 hours until yesterday and i really liked it, now its 5 hours apart
usually when im just getting home, he is ready for bed so its tough sometimes to try and catch each other at convenient times to talk

we do both have vonage though and its great because vonage to vonage is free

7 hours apart, he's in the Netherlands & me in Missouri

pending daylight savings, HK is 13 or 14 hours apart.

A non-stop flight takes over 38hrs or -2minutes! of a sidereal day

We got lucky, when we were still in a LDR we were in the same time zone

Although I had a bunch of people ask me if we were and I was like , um California is directly south of British Columbia, what do you think

We are 7 hours apart - 8 on daylight savings time. On the weekends, it doesn't really matter. During the week, I call him just before he goes to bed. I'm at work, so I eat my lunch while I work and take my lunch break later in the day so that I can call him.

When he was in Jamaica there was a 1 hour difference, during Daylight savings Time. (they do not observe it)

6 or 7 depending on daylight savings. Right now it's 6.

We were 9 1/2-10 1/2 hours apart depending on daylight savings. India is not only an hour difference but also a difference by 30mins too. He's over there right now visiting so we have that time difference again!

Generally same here (I live in EDT zone), except for during 2004/01/10 - 2004/06/22 when I lived in Memphis (CDT, 10 1/2-11 1/2 hours).

Choices really should have been:

• 0-3
• 3-6
• 6-9
• 9-12
• more than 12

Well my fiance is here with me now.
But before he moved here it was only an hour difference (him being an hour ahead of me) during Daylight Savings. Otherwise it was the same time.
