Thoughts on Long Distance Relationships?

Question

Okay.

I was wondering what your personal thoughts on LDRs are.

:D

Answer 1

Been there, done that, ended terribly.

Answer 2

doesnt work,your mind will run like crazy wondering if there cheating what there doing if there lying, and eventually somone will call it quits...its harder to get close to a person who you cant see and touch and hang out with!

Answer 3

i think that they can work if both people are committed.  It's hard being thousands of miles away from each or not being able to talk every, hold each other, but if the relationship is really worth it, you will make it work.  i don't know if this type of relationship would work for me, because i like having them close.  

Answer 4

They can be great relationships, but it does take effort to make up for the lack of face time. I was in one in the past, and it worked out pretty well. We talked on the phone regularly and would visit each other on the weekends. We lived about 3 hours apart because we attended different colleges. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, at least it did in my case.  

Answer 5

Only works for a short period of time and if you trust each other completely.

Answer 6

very hard !!!  

Answer 7

they dont work...ill say 90 percent of LDr get cheated on.

Answer 8

I was in a long distance relationship for a long time. He didn't cheat on me, but he did lose feelings for me, and gain some for another girl; and he was kind of honest about it. He did break up with me and then date her like 2 weeks after. Long distance is hard; for a relationship to be healthy there needs to be love, physical touch, holding, kissing, all that "lovey" stuff, and with a long distance relationship you can't do any of that. With a long distance relationship, all you have is a voice over the phone or instant messages over a computer, and it's kind of hard to cuddle with a voice/instant message. Couples need to do things together and spend time with each other. In my opinion, LDR's aren't very successful.  

Answer 9

It might be tough because you need a lot of trust in the person you're dating.

If you know for sure that your feelings for each other are strong, then sure why not?

Answer 10

Its sooo hard..U can do it, just remember you must have allot of patients. If the love is strong enough it can with stand anything i believe.
