Long Distance

PurplePirate · 06-13-2010, 09:12 PM

What are your opinions on a long distance relationship?

Do you think they can work at all? Or what?
Curious as to what everyone thinks.

i think they can work depending on the people. if the relationship is intellectual, with not much of a physical aspect, then it can work, but more often now a days relationships are based purely on physical contact, then it wont work. if its a mix of both, then it could work, there would just be a VERY physical reunion if they decide to meet.

I find that all long distances end and don't last. Some people are able to keep them going for longer than others, but at some point they will usually always come to an end.

everything will end at some point. the best you can do if you are in a relationship like that, is to see each other as much as possible.
exactly how long distance do we mean?

rarely will they last without some sort of physical conclusion.

I myself had a longdistance relationship that lasted 2 years soley because we were too far away.

We met thru online dating, and might have met each other if we both had not gotten good jobs by then.
Even with that not enough $$ to go thru travel issues to meet.

After a bit of webcam for most of the two years and other...though were were as intimate as possible (via webcam) and very honest, it did come to an end.

I make long distance work better. I don't know how, but the farther away the better its gotten. Currently going on 8 months and 0 problems so far. All I have to say is lots of communication is key.

I think it depends on the people. I have a lot of friends who were dating, went to different universities, and still stayed together though they were apart. I also know people who met online and eventually met up and stayed together. So it depends. (:

It probably comes down to how committed you are to the person and how determined you are to make it work and eventually be back together.

I know and have known various people in LD relationships. They can work if approached correctly and if the people remain faithful and solve problems between them

I believe it can work, if the love is strong enough and both parts trust each other fully.

SlutPuppy · 06-14-2010, 09:53 AM

It can work. I'm in one now, and it works. No arguments or fights, problems, anything at all. But it defiantly sucks being so far away, and not being able to cuddle at night, go out together, go to parties, etc etc. But we have figured out ways to stay close. We watch movies together online, watch TV sometimes too. But the show we normally watch hasn't come out with their new season yet. T_T

But yes, they can work. If you try hard, and you actually do love the person.

You'll get jealous, and feel sad and maybe even angry at yourself for not being able to actually be there - but what is the most important is that you love them, and that you can be with them at all, in any way. Long distance or not.

In my experience long distance can work. There sometimes is tension but that goes away with a few words. Trust is key, that is a big issue.

In my relationship with Erick, we will be celebrating our 11th month anniversary this month on the 18th. We met on gD and it has been fabulous..

He lives about 6 hours away from here, but we make it work quite nicely

Tell you what, I'm glad that long distance relationships can work

I had a friend who met a girl online, and they started 'dating'
He became obsessed with her, drove himself mad worrying and stressing about her
This went on for about a year or so
Obviously, he eventually worked out that he was an idiot, and began to spiral into depression, trying to bring us down with him. He even managed to break up another relationship...
Anyway, enough ranting, but it didn't end well, he still hasn't even met her face to face yet he still fawns etc over her

But I'm glad you have had relationships that have worked long distance
