Long-Distance Relationships Are A Joke

if you're in a long-distance relationship

it won't last; they're not real; you're most likely being cheated on. if not already then you will be.

that is all

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you...

That the pictures are all I can feel...

LDR's are beautiful

I guess there's always virtual hugs, and it could always lead to sex. As such; >*hugs* >*kisses* >*sex* >*cigarette*meconate

Virtual sex.....exactly how does that work?

So you got cheated on eh? That sucks.

My relationship with my wife survived for a year of us being 2000 miles apart. We were already engaged and confident in our relationship though.

They are quite difficult, but I think with enough effort and determination they can work. Obviously two people can't be apart forever, but if two people have to be apart for an extended amount of time it can be done.

Depends how long your frank is.

Sounds like the OP might be projecting a bit, did someone hurt you OP?General_X

No, they aren't. It just requires a lot more work and trust.

My sister met her boyfriend on internship 2.5 years ago. He lives in CA atm and we are in TX. It's completely plausible that once she gradutes she'll live near, if not with him.

Just because you can't make it work TC doesn't mean everyone else can't.

It really depends. Military personnel all end up with long distance relationships at one point or two during their career. There are duty stations where spouses cannot go either on a temporary assignment or up to a year. It all depends. Sailors have been doing it for hundreds of years.

Now, if you are referring to internet dating, well, there are exceptions to the rule of them not really working. Fact, partners that want to cheat will cheat. It doesn't matter if you are dating and going places together or are 200 miles apart. If someone cannot make a commitment enough to not cheat on a love interest that they know on the internet, they are not worth getting with them at any time.

I've been with my girlfriend who lives 5 hours away for more than 4 months now, and I'm really happy in the relationship, long distance or not.

Trains are helpful, because I can go to her place, she can come to mine, or we can meet up halfway in Melbourne and just enjoy having a day together. Skype is handy too.
Obviously, OP has been hurt, which is fair enough reason to be cynical about LDR's, just don't discount everybody elses relationship based on your own experiences.

Depends on how committed the two are to their relationship. It's not a joke but a reality that I think most couples will have to face in one form or another.

sounds like someone just got dumped via skype.

They work.............

Personally, I don't think I have it in me to make it work, though.............

Okay. That has nothing to do with the answer to your question.thegerg

They can work, but it all depends on circumstances and the people involved. For the first couple of years of our relationship my wife and I lived a few hundred miles apart. However we were both adults, both independant, and saw each other in person for at least a few days every month.

Define long distance.

My roommate in college married a girl from his hometown and that was at least a few hours away.

They can definitely work, assuming both parties are mature and not just in it for the sex.Planeforger

Actually, a mate of mine said this to me once about long distance: "She's not in it for the dick, because there are quite literally millions of people who are much closer to her than you are, so if she wanted dick, she'd be with them."

It was surprisingly effective

They have a high probability of not working out. That doesn't mean they can't but you have to put in a lot of work. It's not worth it in my opinion.
