Long distance relationship

in

It is said that the eyes you don't see are easy to forget. Does it apply to the long distance relationships? Is love stronger than miles?

Long distance
Pro: 
  • after few weeks apart, you really begin to appreciate a hug or a kiss
  • when you meet your loved one after a "break", you tend to organize the time spent together in a different and a more pleasant way
  • in a long distance relationship you have time to think how great was the last date and to fantasy about the next one:)
  • if you get together after a longer period of time, you both could enjoy a gift exchange
  • after a longer period of not seeing your partner, the face to face meeting is sweet and wonderful or it should be
Con: 
  • a long distance relationship usually comes with an impressive telephone bill
  • being miles away from the person you love can be tiring if you have to drive, travel by plane or by train from one location to another
  • it's very frustrating not to have near you the person you love, for good moments (whether you want to share the joy, go to parties together, go out or get involved in fun activities) and for bad moments (when you feel like talking to someone face to face, when you would really appreciate a hug or a moral support)
  • a long distance relationship has it's ups and downs just like any other relationship, but communication makes the difference.  When you are far away from the loved one, not even the instant messages or video chat can't help you enough, not like a  face to face talk would do
  • after a long period of seeing each other from time to time, when you'll have to live together and settle down in the same location, you both will have to make an effort to adjust to the new situation

It can work...as long as there is an end in sight

Long distance can make the heart grown fonder, especially if you are with someone who is a great communicator and is trustworthy.  Long distance is great for those independent enough to make it work.

If you feel warm and fuzzy everytime you see them and its always a good thing when you know they're coming to town then its probably an ok situation.

Its when you're driving to the airport to pick them up and you feel like you'd rather not be or are ambivalent about it that you need to worry a little about what you're doing :)

Long distance can be tough.  My boyfriend lives near where I go to school but when I go home for break sometimes I don't see him for up to 6 weeks.  We both have really opposite work schedules.  I teach summer camps during the week and he works a lot of weekends.   It makes visits tough. Its doable though.  I guess you can see we dont get the full long distance relationship status because its only temporary but I still know how you feel.  When everyone else around you is going out with their significant other and yours is far away.  Do your best.  I think its worth it. 

Yes long distance relationships can totally work!

I'm in my second long distance relationship and when youu see the person after not seeing them for a couple of weeks its the best feeling in the whole world. Yes it does have its downs but you can definitely make it work as long as you communicate a lot and webcam and do dorky things online together it can work! Good Luck!
