Would you ever have a long-distance relationship?

I have been in one before and did not like it. I like having time to myself, but not weeks on end to myself. I know I will never get into that kind of relationship again, which shouldn't be a problem since my boyfriend says he wants to get married soon.

was in one for almost 3 years till i moved to be closer to her.. if this falls thru then NEVER AGAIN. to much trouble being so far from the one you love. it can work if you both work at it, but even if it turns out well, you feel kinda cheated by missing out on all the time you could have spent together if it weren't for distance.

I've been in three long distance relationships. The first was to an older guy, but I was too emotionally immature at the time, and I am now saddened that we no longer speak.

The second was to a much older man and that lasted nearly 4 years before I found it in me ot break up with him, he was much too negative and emotionally damaging to stay with though I was almost brainwashed into believing he was treating me well.

The third was with a guy I had actually met first, then we went home to our separate states and tried to make something of how we felt for eachother. it ended up being that I could not handle the strain of a LD relationship.

I've tried to have one, I was not okay with it and it failed.
If absolutely necessary - I would go with it, but I'd try to minimize the time it's a long-distance one.

I did once when I went away for college and still dated my HS sweetheart - cute but not sustainable. I took a lot of chances hitch-hiking across PA dozens of times - seems like eons ago!

I've been in relationships where the guy lived only an hour away and ones where the guy lived 1000 miles away. As much as I've enjoyed all the relationships I've been in, I enjoyed the long distance relationships most. I felt they focused more on intellectual stimulation and emotional intelligence and I was more fulfilled because of it. My longest LDR was a bit over 7 years. I don't regret it one bit.

I currently would not do it though.
I agree with you. It does make the time you spend together more special, but i also wouldn't want to deal with that again, because the time apart really frustrated me lol

As college students its hard, but we make it work. More than anything I think making a long distance relationship work all depends on trust and communication.

My long distance relationship lasted a long time, but really did not work out and I do think it was because of the distance.

i'm currently in one. it can be very hard. even harder since i'm so emotional and sometimes drag things on to much that a little problem becomes a big problem to where we fight and argue every other day. =/

I just entered one ... he's in England and I'm in Florida. It's been alright, but we agreed to meet soon so we can see if we're compatible in person.

I've had quite a number of long distance relationships. They have never worked out in the long run.

I was once in a long distance relationship. It lasted for 9 months. We lived states and states away. It was great at first, but it broke up ultimately.

I'm currently in a LDR. At best we may be able to work 2 visits a year? I've got about 4 years until I can move closer, but if we're still together by then I'll move in a heartbeat. I figure if we can work that long with just online and phone, the relationship has serious potential to be a...regular distance relationship?

I was currently in one as of yesterday but not anymore. Sadly it takes a toll, she's very emotional and eventually with typical day to day things problems arise an that little problem becomes exaggerated and we fight every night or every other day... and being far away from one another we cant really make up or speak on whats going on.. the distance creates an issue... As of now I would probably say I wouldn't be up for it again, the last few have always come out in failure..

I've never done the long distance thing. But in a few weeks I'll be moving 1,500 miles away from the boyfriend to begin earning a masters degree. I need love. This already hurts.

I've had a few long distance relationships an they're not quite easy sometimes. But if you can be strong enough to get through it til you guys make it work you guys will be that much stronger. I've just dealt with the partner being unfaithful an doing too much behind my back. But for the most part things were good. I've had one relationship going on for almost 6 yrs an 2 yrs we were doing the LDR. Things change an it truly depends on the couple an how you guys manage an go about your relationship. If there's a will there's a way an if you want it you'll shoot for the stars. But being together is just that much better but we do what we have to for our loved ones.

I have been in two. I wont lie, it is very hard and lots of trust is needed.

Long distance seems to always complicate things, at least for me.

I'm in one right now. It's fantastic.

We have our plans, and we're working towards them.
