long distance relationship

now that i've already started this love-related discussion, i guess i could mention this thing too. since i'm in a distance relationship myself, i can say that i really enjoy it. this kind of relationship can be hard to maintain, but not impossible. it's hard for people who are worried that their partner might lie to them or cheat on them and that's why i think that trust is the most important thing in this kind of relationship. actually, in any kind of relationship. understanding and patience are important too. sometimes we don't see each other for 2 weeks or more, because of other responsibilities we have, so we just spend time talking to each other and it's all worth it the moment we get to see each other and spend some time together. the good thing is that we're not much far away from each other and we can get there by the bus in like 3 hours. i have a friend who said that he couldn't stand being in a long distance relationship because he wants to be with his girlfriend whenever they want to be together. what do you think of this kind of relationship? have you ever been in one?

Long distance relationships are hard because there is no physical closeness with the other person. Can't hug or embrace or kiss... or see the other person in real life as opposed to on the phone or computer screen. And that can make a relationship end. Happened to me.

@aureategloom How often do you get to see each other in person?

my boyfriend and i have a deal that if we break up, the reason may not be "we haven't seen each other for a long time", because we knew that it would be like that when we decided to date.

@lovebuglena now, during summer, much more often then when college starts. during that time, sometimes we don't see each other for a month or more.

I think in my opinion, 3 hours is not long distance. you can still visit each other. Its ' a matter of understanding and trust

Been there. Twice. First is a disaster. Second ended to a marriage. All I can say is, long distance relationship is all about trust and constant communication.

@aureategloom we took off on our vocabulary the word “busy” that time. A simple one liner message will make a huge difference

@aureategloom because at first it wasn’t long distance then he moved to a different place. I was at fault and I don’t like ever feeling torn so I ended it.

I admire people who can stand being away from their love ones. In your case, I feel that is not really long distance since you can still see each other if you wanted to since you can travel easily to meet. But for some the distance can be a challenge for them and yet they prevail and those are what amazes me.

yes, it's amazing if they meet each other in real life first. but it's also kinda weird when they meet online. how is it possible that you can't find somebody in your country, but you find "the perfect one" on the internet and he/she is in another country or even a continent. it's weird, isn't it?

@aureategloom I will say I am happy for you that he is not that far away from you so you can see him. Not all long distance or overseas relationships work out.

The only way i will date long distance relationships is if we are both saving and planning for our future. I refuse to be long distance with someone who will only be temporary and not see a future.

There is a saying that out of sight out of mind. Long distance relationship slowly get fade away. I think so as we cannot see them whenever we want. We will not contact them regularly.

but there are periods when we're spending time together. we were together on vacation, he comes to my town to see me now when we have enough time, so it's fine.

I haven't been on one but I think it can work depending on the parties and their trust with each other.
