Long distance relationships
Hi everyone, I would like to see what is your view on long distance relationships. Is it worth it or waste of time? Personally the only thing that scares me is, how would you know if your partner is being loyal? The temptation would be much bigger to cheat when you are miles away from you partner.

1 RespuestaIf it's a normal relationship that is temporarily long distance, then yes. Never start a relationship long distance.

8 RespuestasListen up. Long distance relationships are stupid for one simple reason: it is impossible to have any trust. Neither party has any idea if the other person is a lying, cheating scumbag who is stepping out on them every chance they get. If your foundation consists of distrust and uncertainty, the relationship is doomed to fail. Now... If you've [i]already[/i] been in a committed relationship and it suddenly BECOMES long distance, that is another story. Examples: Partner gets deployed. Student exchange program. Job transfers them away. If you're married, or have been exclusively dating long enough, your relationship can withstand this incredible strain of long distance intimacy. Though it is incredibly difficult, it CAN be done, and is well worth it obviously. In my opinion, this is the only time long distance relationships are even worth maintaining. When you're already heavily invested in the person. But just starting out? Hell no.

6 RespuestasAll i see is 50 50 comments. Im in a long distance relationship for 2 years now. It had its ups and downs obviously but its really nice. Problems being far away: -cant really show your love -no going out, no hugging whatever -no real sex -parents be wtf -paranoia -jealousy -desperation -feeling let down -confusion -no motivation -constant dreaming -parents in general -culture -religion -money -more Advantages being far away: -no constant bickering -trust -lots of communication -commitment -respect -anticipation -knowing to express yourself -love is strong even from far away -culture richness -finding other sources of fun -HAVING TIME FOR YOURSELF while being in a relationship -setting grounds early on -knowing the likes and dislikes -questions answered -hope -and the best thing of all: falling in love again when you will finally meet each other. Its a life experience. But love is still love, and if something happens, it'll hurt nonetheless. I say try it.

1 RespuestaDepends on if you have a solid timeline and an end goal. If not, don't waste your [or her] time.

7 RespuestasIt all depends. I have been through a few and most did not work out. My lady that I am with now, she and I endured 2 years apart without knowing when we would be close again. We would visit each other and and play online games as a way of going on a date, but it does not substitute for having her here with me. Was there temptation? Meh. I know I will NEVER find anyone better than her. We ended up moving in together and I proposed three weeks ago. We have the date set for 21 October 2017. Basically, if you truly love the other person and they you, you will make it work.

1 RespuestaI've never seen one work out.

3 RespuestasIt really depends. If you're like me and having an ldr with a girl in Poland when I'm in Texas, it depends. If your counterpart is closer, less risk
-
1 RespuestaIf they're hot
-
3 RespuestasIt depends. If you know you're gonna see her again soon then it probably won't be too bad but if she's moving for good and you can't follow, then there's really no point.
-
8 RespuestasEver since she found me here I can honestly say it's worth it.
-
3 RespuestasI like seeing them work out for other people, but bad past experiences kind of turned me away from trying that sort of thing again.
-
1 RespuestaI have been going out with a girl that lived in England and I'm Canadian and the massive distance have made us be more close with each other and are feelings then people I have dated over here if you both try it will work out perfectly fine
-
3 RespuestasIt's not worth it, find somebody within driving distance
-
1 RespuestaIf its temporary then yes. But if the distance isnt going to close anytime soon then the relationship its self will likely become distant.
-
2 RespuestasI'm a long distance from ever being in a relationship.

21 RespuestasI met this guy on off topic.. We dated for a while, we even met! But eventually his parents saw my tits (super religious people and what not) and made him break up with me lol
-
1 RespuestaMy girlfriend and I will both being moving a few hours away from each other this summer. We will make it work. I believe it can work, but only if you absolutely trust your partner and believe you can make it work. It can be hard, but it can be worth it in the end.
-
1 RespuestaNot worth it... (From past experience) My girlfriend (now ex) and I were together for 2 years during high school, perfectly fine and happy. After high school I took a gap year and she went to uni. Decided to try long distance. Was going fine for a few months until I realised she was starting to become more paranoid, she made me call her before and after going out, and if I didn't she'd flip out the next day. The relationship turned hostile, I decided to end it, she thought it was because I was cheating (I wasn't). Left on very sour terms from being in one the happiest relationships I've ever been in while in high school.

3 RespuestasEditado por Daddy Chill (Adept): 5/29/2016 8:05:25 AMI've seen it work. I've seen loyal girls. A pretty girl that I see at the club has a committed relationship of 5 years to a guy out of state. She has rejected every guy that has even attempted to talk to her. She is nice when she does it, but I've never seen her with another dude, ever. It can work. Question is, will it with you? My friend tried talking to her, she didn't decline but you can tell she wasn't interested. I've seen her first hand, it's no joke what someone in a committed relationship can do.

1 RespuestaWork with 1% of people, but everyone else either splits or cheats, it's just human nature. If you're someone who can easily find another GF/BF in a month just drop it and say let's pick it up again if we are close in the future. Otherwise you're just wasting your time. If you are that 1% though and you REALLY think you got something, try, try with all your might. But know it's not easy and only true relationships can prevail. Good luck

5 RespuestasIf you trust your partner and are willing to bust your ass to make it work then it can work.

18 RespuestasLet me ask my wife with whom I've been with for over 11 years if our long distance relationship worked out.
