Long distance relationships Are harder for woman than they are for men. Or are they

Question

I am in a great relationship but lonely, phone relationships are not the greatest very challenging and heart breaking and some times you ask yourself why do I continue, for the Love I have for him is great and pure but my heart aches and will forever more, you can not take away feelings of despair doing things alone and wanting them there, you only can hold your head high and walk alone through this wild and crazy life

Answer 1

Hard for both, but which one is really ready to make the sacrifice !!!

Answer 2

He is probably thinking the same thing. Keep talking it keeps you connected on some level and youu still get to know how the other is feeling. Talk to him about this.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Hmm... truly, not exactly a question!

However... I always seem to find the ones that I can relate to. lol

Ok, recently me and my ex broke up, I find that the LDR (Long Distance Relationship) may have played a role in our demise. Do not disppair, that's life. If your "heart grows fonder" of the person then you can make it, if "out of sight out of mind" weighs strongly then do what you have to and let go.

I found that I was the former but unfortunetly my ex was the latter. Although other things played a role I had to ask myself... if he wants to be with me he can wait and also be more supportive and patient like I was.

I'm not sure if you're in a permanent LDR were you can't see the person at all, or you are planning to be together, but no matter the situation if you survive the LDR I believe the relationship is strong and can withstand the test of time.

Whichever, look at what is best for you. Being alone shouldn't be the problems, distance is good but if you know you are not getting what you want out of it then cut your losses short and be on your own.

Good luck!

Answer 5

**I think they're hard on both in the relationship.  I'm in a long distance relationship and it's hard but when you love each other you find a way to make it work and it's all worth it when you're together.  Well it is for me anyway.**

Answer 6

I totally understand what you are going through. You must ask yourself if this is really what you are wanting in life. People need touch and affection, and a long distance relationship, there is the affection, but no touch. You didn't mention if there was ever a chance that you all will be together someday. I hope that you can make it till that day.

Answer 7

... this isn't exactly a question.

Answer 8

exactly, married since '84, he's been gone almost 4 yrs now, only home for visits. I am truely alone, but i am starting to care less, i guess it's natural. It's his loss because i was a beautiful, faithful, steadfast and loyal wife, which he has thrown in the trash.

  at least i feel that way.

Answer 9

No I don't think they are harder for women than men.  Women just tend to allow themselves to dwell on these sort of things rather than enjoying their time doing other things like males do.
