Do you believe in LDR (Long Distance Relationships)? Has it ever worked out for you?

[Dolores Haze]

for me, i don't believe it.

 

i haven't had any LDR experiences but maintaining a close distance relationship is hard enough for me so,
i guess i'd say no to LDR.

 

but i do know a friend who only wants to be in LDR because it's more likely to work out for her.

 

 

how about you? what are your thoughts about it?

[Loketâ™”]

I don't believe it,I don't have much trust in people tbh 

[kw_]

Works for my parents, maybe marital bond makes it easier

[ournewboyfriend]

It's very difficult? It can work ofc. But again, it's better to be able to touch and see the person you like everyday

[Sorecer]

it can work but it's more difficult than a normal relationship 

[Kisses]

I know ppl who have done LDR's, but that's because they dated 2 yrs prior before her boyfriend went overseas. It really depends on the couple and the trust/commitment itself. Idk really, especially not from first-hand experience.

[WonderJoyous]

I never got on one, in fact, i've never been on a relationship but the closest thing I had to a relationship was like that and it lasted for a pretty long while, years actually.

[hilmanelric]

it depends on the person, i have two friends who are very close but has different result with their LDR

[MidnightEXO]

I have they suck, but it depends on your partner. Trust and Communication is key if you don't have it its not worth its TBH its stress. I would argue with my EX more then saying I love you and all he wanted was to make a fuss on the pettiest of shit and I'm like chill. Its like if I don't text him I'm fucking someone couldn't do it wasn't about that so we had an ugly break up over fucking stupid shit but it was the crack that broke us up because physical is just as important. It takes strong ppl to deal with that...

[Metrosexual]

Yes, and it worked out for me. It's much easier imo, you never get tired of each other and the sex is better.

[MidnightEXO]

I would say don't rule it out. I like distance because I like my space. It can sometimes make your bond stronger you just gotta put the work and time in. So you truly gotta work in you relationship. 

[í™©ì œë‹˜ 팬]

i've never been in one tbh. But one of my guy friends did for 3 years and they got married last month ^^. They were dating since high school though and his girlfriend got a job overseas after she graduated college ..

[campfire]

Yes it can work, but it depends on what kind of person you are. The more laid back and chill you are and the more you have your own lives outside of one another the better. And it makes things more passionate when you do get to see each other.

[galaxy.xiongmao]

I've done it, though every time(it's the same relationship) the distance lasted for one month max. The first time we parted was painful af as it was only the beginning of the relationship, so it was still unstable, but we got through it and it was worth it. The second time he went away for a month was actually one of the happiest periods in the relationship as it was stable at this point. Some time after that the relationship itself started going downhill, so when he went back home for a month again, we only made it through pro forma so we could break-up in person and not via phone.

Because of this experience (which was hard as I love skinship and having someone in close proximity), and one of the following ones, where the guy used every chance while I was away for no more than a week to fuck every female animate object in his sight, I don't want to bother with LDRs anymore, at least not any time soon. But I do believe it can work out for some people.

[JaceyPanduh20]

I believe they can work if you have enough willpower and determination to make it work.

 

All my relationships have been long distance and the last one really took a toll on me emotionally/mentally only because I didn't quite know what I was getting myself into and thought I could handle it.

 

I don't know how I'd feel being in another one, not only due to previous statement, but because I've realized that I'm quite a physical person and need the person here with me.  I've never experienced the physical aspect of a relationship

[Bitchcraft]

No. I need sex.

And men cheat like 98% of the time in LDR so no thanks.

[Bitchcraft]

jfc wrong thread

[xolovestephi]

I think it might work if people are really trying 

[A Hamster Named Loneliness]

one of my former roommates from college is currently in a long distance relationship--both she and her boyfriend make the effort to physically see each other a few times every year. Another roommate was in a long distance relationship with her boyfriend when she was in college, and to my knowledge they're still together. You have to make the effort to communicate with each other. 

[TAKA (ã‚¿ã‚«)]

They pretty much never work out imo

[B612]

It doesn't work.

 

I had needy friends online trying to push it into me and they were pathetic sad losers who ruined a friendship trying to force me into a relationship.   

[Trixbox]

It works, but you need to trust each other and be mature and understand the circumstances of such relationship.

 

If you already think that it will not work out then it really won't happen, you already don't trust each other.

[Saἶlor✯Moonlἶght]

Me and my BF were in an LDR for a year, then we've been together 3 years since then (4 in total)

 

It definitely works if you put in the effort and really love eachother

[ScarletWhimsy]

I've known people who have had it work out fine. Didn't work out for me.

[Suzy Quatro]

I think it can work for some people, especially for people who struggle to find someone or relate to people in their own environment. So the online communication offers a wider plataform to get know more people of course it has its disadvantages but I wouldn't discard this platform. Ultimately it all depends on how much distance we're talking about and how much it would extend such relation, the ultimate goal should be to be able to be together and close, so if the distance can't be overcome then the relation would just fail.
