Long distance reltionships

Pros & cons of long distance relationship??

 

In all seriousness thou, You end up getting bored of talking bout the same stuff and no pro's a can think of

 

Trust issues

Lack of sex (unless banging your local chicks)

 

Don't do it, unless you are willing to move.

 

I was dating a girl who moved away after 9 months of dating. We tried to continue the relationship, but after going through it I honestly believe that long distance relationships can never truly work out. Not seeing the person you're in a relationship with is hard. Being unable to hug, hold hands, kiss, fuck, or anything even remotely relationship-like is even harder.

 

100% agreed. As intense as long-distance relationships may feel at first, it never lasts for the reasons stated above.

 

unless you have a lot of female friends, but even then it might not work.

 

Gay as fuck, long distance relationships suck balls.

 

What lol? Sounds like you're saying you could get the aspects of a relationship from some other girl. My question to you would be why not just date somebody local if you're just going to cheat on the long distance person with somebody local? Makes no sense.

 

I don't really see why it couldn't work =).

 

I believe they simply will not work. I barely endured my long distance relationship and we are married, we luckily survived it, but barely. Any longer and i would have started cheating , I was already abusing pain meds just to try and numb myself. This was all why i was in the marine corp, Needless to say i got out early

 

I understand that sex is important, but you guys make it sound like it's something you cannot live without for however many months. I'm in a long distance relationship (and have been for about 8 months now) and, sure, there has been some hard times, but overall, I'm very happy with it. I love my girlfriend to death and actually plan on moving where she lives in July. If you feel that you want to be in an LDR, you need to remember that communication is key. If you don't communicate, one (or both) of you will feel neglected and the relationship will not last. You also have to be prepared to feel lonely sometimes. But, if you tough it out and you really love the girl or guy that you're with, it's totally worth it.

PS: If you feel like you're going to cheat on her, you're either:

A) A prick
B) Not ready for such a commitment and should reconsider what you're doing
C) All of the above

(the answer is c)

 

If it's long distance or not listen to me when i say this. You both will get too use to each other after a while, and start to argue. The only way to keep a relationship is to be distance anyway so you can keep that spark. I'm not saying cheat, i'm telling you that keeping her guessing/jealous works in any type of relationship. Females "while their young" likes the challenge, older females want a ring. Dude I been in a lot of relationships in my life and so I know a lot them. Don't get me wrong tho bro, not all girl are like this which is very rare. Seeing her once a week maybe every 2 weeks is fine. Don't call her every minute, I would even skip days.

Sorry to tell you this bro, but if you move down there your gonna get your heart broken over the years. I already can tell she got total control over you, which isn't masculine.

 

I don't think 90%+ of long distance relationships work out. How can you have a relationship without any physical contact ;/

 

Pros : You're not being harassed by not hanging out with her all the time

Cons : While she's not bothering you she's probably getting plugged by some other guy lol

 

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a year, and we live 70 miles apart(about 100km). Its up to you to decide if this counts as long distance relationship, but we usually see each other once a week. We had some issues along the way, being closer to each other would have led to less stress, but today, we are happy with each other. The obvious cons of long distance relationships is not being with the person often, but if you are aware of this going into the relationship, it can work. My advice to anyone thinking about long distance relationships, if you truly think that the person you want to be is very special, its worth trying, because if you don't try you will never know if you could have been happy with the individual.

 

don't work.

 

I've been in a long distance relationship and I'm currently in a 5 year relationship man, I know the ins and outs of a relationship. I never ran into a problem with becoming "too used to each other" lol, I think that's a problem that only occurs in a relationship that would have not worked out in the first place regardless of whether or not there is a distance issue.... and by long distance I figured we were talking more than just in a different city or something. A true long distance relationship is something like halfway across the country, which was the situation I was in after my girlfriend moved from Virginia to Texas on me. If you get to see your significant other at all, there's no reason the relationship can't work. The 9 monther with the girl that moved on me was the shortest relationship I have ever had, so I'm pretty sure I've got girls figured out lol and I can tell you with relative confidence that what you're doing to make them jealous constantly is probably hurting you far more than you think it is helping you. Commitment doesn't imply that the relationship is boring, if you can't keep a relationship alive without provoking jealousy and arguments then that is a fault of yours and yours alone.

pk is really the only guy that has suggested cheating as a means to keep the relationship alive over a long distance. I don't think anyone else agrees with that idea. However, just from what you told us it seems like you're still kind of in the "honeymoon phase" where everything about another person seems interesting no matter what. Eight months really isn't that long of a time in the grand scheme of things man, so of course sex isn't as important to you and your girlfriend as it is for others. I've been with my girlfriend for 5 years and we have sex every time we see each other (4-5 times a week), it's part of our time together. If I was unable to do that, among other things such as hugging, kissing, cuddling, and spending time together for an extended period of time I don't think that it would work no matter how much I care about her. You have that confused with a lack of compassion. I'd always have a place in my life for her, but seriously I've been there and it doesn't work out most of the time in a LDR. You and your girlfriend may be different, but the general consensus is that they do not work out most of the time.

 

pros none
cons can't fuck

 

I personally think it all depends on the couple, if you're both willing to make it work, it'll work, if not, then their will be problems.
Pros - You don't need to see them all the time.
Cons - You don't what/who their doing.
