But what's the point of giving up on your chance with someone just because they are further away? I've managed to make a long distance relationship work, and I'm very happy that we both tried to keep together even though it would have been easy to just start dating people around me.
I think people put too much stock in the physical part of a relationship. Its beginning to sound like, if there's no sex, what's the point? But a relationship isn't about sex, its about trusting someone, communicating with that person, being there when things are going wrong (and if you can't be physically there, at least listen and show support). It's like no one wants to try anymore, they want things to be easy and to always be happy but life isn't easy and you have to put up with hard times. |
All three of my relationships have had a least a period of long distance.
My first boyfriend we were in JROTC together and I was his honor guard commander so there was a little bit of controversy but people go over it. Since we were both military brats we knew one of us would end up moving and it was my family two months after we got together. We ended up dating for three and a half years. We still have some contact, but trying to maintain a relationship with a 6 hour time difference and no visits was difficult. My second boyfriend and I were in high school together and we dated I was a year ahead of him and moved a couple hours away for university. That relationship ended up with him taking advantage of the distance and getting another girlfriend and me finding out when I was visiting him and we went the an anime con his other girl was at as well. Took me until a friend to tell me he was with his girlfriend to figure out why he was avoiding me. My last and current relationship technically started when I was 5 and he was 3 when we promised to marry each other. I moved and we lost contact we started met again on Gaia of all places Dec of 2004 and started talking on MSN and started dating a month later and figured out we met before. We are now married spiritually, engaged to be married legally and living together with four cats. |
Yeah, it sure is a nightmare. Never wanted to be in one, but accidently we ended up this way, since my boyfriend is on the army now. I really wonder how our future relations would be.
x__X I'm afraid that I might give up, because of no physical contact . |
I never thought it could work out until I actually got into one. My boyfriend and I live on opposite sides of the country and we've never actually met face to face, but we've been together for almost a year now. I think long distance relationships test your strength as a couple even more. I mean, it's hard not having someone to actually hold and have them hold you back. And you have to trust that the other person isn't going behind your back. But I think, in the end, a relationship like that will be more rewarding :3

Long distance can work if the two people will eventually see/move in/or marry eachother.
It can't be long distance forever because in my opinion that can't last forever. Just depends on the people really. *shrugs* |
