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.
