Has anyone had a relationship which ended up becoming a long distance one...as in overseas or interstate??? If so is it still going strong or have you parted ways now?
i havn't.. but they usually end up badly ..or like.. they kinda break off and disappear into nothingness ._.
Yeah that's what i'm worried abt...in most cases it just falls apart (usually in abt one yrs time). Happen to my cousin, but that ended badly coz the bitch cheated on him. I dont want it to turn into nothingness...what can be done?
it may sound dumb.. but if you want a long distance relationship to work you have to make it not-so-long distance.. so like keep visiting ur bf/gf regularly and call, email, write letters etc.. just keep in touch as much as possible
True, long distance relationships are very hard to maintain, but I know some people who've been able to pull it off. Like Sitorbewwi said, keep in touch as much as possible! If time and money permits, visit her every once in a while or have her come visit you. Best of luck to you both!
I went and visited her last yr but its not like i can afford to travel overseas all the time. I guess i'm just worried abt the relationship falling apart, i call her just abt everynight but lately our "love" for each other is starting to weaken...she realizes it and we trying to sort things out, but i guess sooner or later one of us has to move so that we can be with each other....lets hope we can sort things out~
ya gota commit for it to work...n u gota put in alot effort..for some it works..others it donesn't...
My sister and her boyfriend are currently in a long distance relationship. It started out as a local relationship & she'd moved away. So, they already had a foundation for the relationship, and were close enough to drive a few hours to see one another. When they didn't see each other, they'd just talk on the phone or go on webcam to 'see' each other. Long distance relationships are definetly tough, especially if you're overseas and living in completely opposite time zones. As other have mentioned, communication is key; you have to be really good at it, otherwise you or the other party will misconceive certain things. There also has to be a great deal of trust. You dont know what she's up to & she doesn't know what you're up to... so it's gonna be really tough mentally. But I think that when you 2 do get to see each other, you'd appreciate each other much more because you'll both know that the time you'd have to see each other is limited. I think that if 2 people are truly committed to one another, they don't necessarily have to spend every waking hour together in order to make the relationship work out.
it helps if your able to see the other person once in awhile and hang out. But with long distance relationships it seems more demandin cuz you gotta keep callin the person and get each other attention, otherwise like Strawburrry said, it could disappear into nothinnessness.
oh also, their personality may change from their new surroundings. Jus imagine hookin up with a nice, sweet, cute girl.. she moves away. yall keep in touch on the phone everyday. Den 6 months later... she come back talkin like a thug ROLFLAMO. now wouldn't that be awkward...
My friend had a "boyfriend" who happened to live in Michigan.. And my friend lives in NYC.. Her boyfriend is actually her best friend's cousin.. And they talk on the phone alot.. and they've never really met before except for one summer.. They just met like a couple of times or something and the guy liked her (I think, not so sure of the details..). And I think they broke up.. But I'm not even sure if they really even started >>" According to what my friend told me..
Long distance relationship i am in one right now and all i can say is that...it all depends on how hard both of you work together....nothing is impossible..
How can a relationship be fake? I'll have to disagree with that, i can see how a relationship can be not be as strong, but u still know the person and have experienced alot with them. I guess it can only be fake it you have never seen the person before or just dated for a few months and then had to start a long distance relationship. In that case i guess it could be considered fake as there isnt much foundation that was built on the relationship in the first place. It's like a relationship built on nothing!
Many years ago I had a long distance one between Hong Kong. It' didn't work out as it's the time and also the intimacy factor. Better be in the same town or country.
I don't believe in long distance relationships...especially if it's gonna go on for a long time...someone has got to stray
people always say long distance relationships doesn't last. i say it depends on the 2 ppl, whether they can really care for each other and TRUST each other, have confidence in themselve to not become jealous or think one is cheating the other, and DOES do eveything to maintain the relationship/keep the sparks going, instead of giving.....then a long distance relationship shouldn't be a problem. (of course i would assume the couple loves each other very much to resist and REALLY not cheat on the other one)
I have two Long distance realtionship....One was about 3yrs....THat's doesn't work out.... End up breaking up. Long story short...I lost feeling for her.. Right now i am dating another long distance..She was living in my home town than she have to move far away.. Don't get into it!!
Unfortunately long distance relationship seldom works and often ends up unhappily... It needs a lot of faith and courage from the couple to stand still and make it to the end. There'll be a lot of temptation and hardship, so i think if u can't make such a commitment, it's better to end that relationship for a while. If you two are destined to be together, sooner or later he/she will find a way and get back to u.
