Can't do it. A lot of needs would go unfulfilled and things would go to shit in a hurry. I know myself well enough to know that I wouldn't be able to handle it for any real length of time. If we had already been together for a long time and it was just a temporary situation then I'd stick it out and stay committed but otherwise, just no.
My wife and I started as long distance. It can be hard, very hard. I believe though that if you make enough effort, it can work. I used to send my now wife letters even though we only lived a couple hrs away from each other. We always kept in touch. Communication is key.
It can work if it’s honest, patient and there’s a realistic plan in place to actually turn it into a real life situation. Most of them fail badly, but sometimes it’s worth the risk if the feelings are genuine You actually get a chance to know who the other person is, which gets missed in real life sometimes
I’ve done long distance twice. The first time was hard, but my ex was an asshole. Second time was suuuuper easy.
in 2007 i had nexopia relation ships, they were always with people from ablerta,, theni didnt i would say depends on how distant and how needy the people are nonting as interesting as how i only met up with a person once,, or twice but i had a collection and i was like 13 and super, horney and desperate it was fun thoe
I've been in two. Neither were that bad tbh, but then again I like to have my own life and space, so being around someone all the time gets boring to me (until I'm really invested in the relationship) Both lasted over a year. Saw one of them fairly often too. One of them I saw every weekend for a while. We'd alternate weekends to go visit each other (he lived in Edmonton).
Me and this guy had an Internet romance for around 2 years. When we finally met, he dumped me because he thought that I was secretly a guy, lol.
Exactly, just same as those lonely people have a dog or a cat, sex doll is also my friend, no any risks. but I am not ignoring human interaction.
Might work for some people. IMO I would be too paranoid that my SO was being unfaithful. Probably my own insecurities though since my last relationship was ridiculous. I am sure there are decent people in the world and it works for them well.
That's not unfounded. There was this U.S. marine who came back from a 15 month tour or something like that and his wife was pregnant.
my first long distance relationship I was young and stupid. I wanted to get with someone else so I ended the long distance relationship. The second I ended up marrying. It worked for 5 years. it CAN work but it takes a lot of trust and effort. I'm a firm believer in that there is more than just one person out there for everyone. There is no such thing as love of your life. if the long distance thing isn't working drop it before you invest too much time into it. plenty of compatible low resistance fish in the sea.
My fiance and I kind of started our long distance. He was in trade school for the first year of our relationship, so I would only get to see him on the weekends, then I lost my job and moved in with his parents lol Was actually really fun. But yeah, we made it work but it was hard, and I know it was a lot harder for him because he got burned really hard with his last relationship. I don't think we could have made it worked if we didn't get to see each other on the weekends.
My long distance relationship with Wrecky has been putting a strain on me, as you guys can see, such as the pining I have for her in my posts.
