Can Long Distance Relationships Work?

DietCherry said:
Just like any other relationship, it depends on the people. I was able to make a LDR work. But I also know many people who tried and just couldn’t. I find that a normal relationship that becomes long distance because of college or a new job or something else like that, usually fails unless it’s a seriously serious relationship because those people are used to physical contact and don’t know how to deal with anything else. If it starts long distance, and eventually the two get together and are able to hit it off in person too, and once you get past the very first in person meeting, if there is then a second meeting, and third, you’re going to be fine. The first meeting makes or breaks you, because physical intimacy and mutual attraction is important and sometimes someone just doesn’t click with you in that way and once you discover that a long distance friendship is the best you can hope for. But on the occasion that it does work, and the meeting goes well, I think in many ways LDRs can be much stronger than other relationships.

how long did the relationship last?
were you two engaged ?
 
I ended up on the other side of the Rio Grande for this shit DONT DO LDRs
 
I think a LDR could be something that works for some folk, yea. To be frank, I've been burnt out via relationships and have been single through choice for almost 4 years now. Just fucking done with the drama tbh.
Recently I've gotten close to a woman online from another Country and we're DMing every other night. We've got a lot in common and we're gonna meet up in Italy in June. If that works out, then we would be seeing each other only maybe once, twice a month, being in different countries. This will be absolutely fine for me.

I've never did a LDR, but I think for me, it will work better than a normal seeing the other ALL the time relationship.

Currently, I'm in a long distance relationship with a guy in Ireland. Won't go too much into detail, but we first bonded over social media and still talk to each other through DMs.
Yes, they can work just as well as regular relationships, if not longer and a stronger bond. However, you need to set up goals to meet each other or, if you're lucky, move in together and marry each other.
It's not just about love, it's also about patience and loyalty to your partner. It's definitely not for everyone.

i actually have a friend who recently got married to someone who they were in a long distance relationship with for 3 years so i do think it is possible but it really needs to have the right type of people involved without a doubt.
