Long distance relationships?

Personally, I like them as I have very little time for a normal relationship (not that I have had a long-distance relationship before). But they rarely work. So unless you have a pretty solid plan to get together someday (and soon), I would suggest not having a relationship like that.

 

Im in one right now actually, its a tad different from the standard idea of one, i dont live too far from my gf atm and i can see her about every three to four weeks for a weekend but that is necessary compared to most long distance relationships where they would have time to interact more because we are both trying to get our futures with school and money/scholarships and transferring/moving straightened out so we are both stressed and busy out of our minds. But as a general rule to long distance relationships there kind of has to be a realistic goal sometime down the road. The other fundamental is that any relationship that you dont get to see much of one another is held together by tiny "here and there" interactions, for example a text like "out to lunch with so and so" with a picture attached or something, doesnt have to lead to a big conversation just to keep one another inherent in each others day and life.

 

i am in 1 atm he lives across the ocean in the UK but hes loyal and we love eachother too much to let go he wants to come to America when hes 18 if he cant, when i 18 im goin to the UK

 

Don't want to burst your bubble but you're only 13, things will change a lot, you will too. Good luck though. And 13 is too young for a relationship. =.=

 

I really don't see the problem if u trust eachother,as long as it's not for a long time.

 

If your commited 13 or 30 your fine. Please ignore others. Yes things will change but if you love each other your relationship neednt be one of them.

 

I've been in one before. We made it work really well. It takes a lot of trust and commitment, as well as having ground rules and boundaries laid out. They're not easy, but they can work and they can be just as rewarding and fulfilling as a typical relationship. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

 

well its hard but i want him!!!!

 

Didn't work in retrospect, although we broke up for other reasons, as you go so far emotionally but are left behind physically, it's so weird and didn't feel right, although again there were other reasons.

 

Of course I believe in them.

 

not something i would be interested in doing, unless our relationship was already established and we needed to be apart for a finite period of time. my partner and i can't live together right now because of our work situations, but that will change in about a year and a half. right now we live about 45 min away from each other and spend every weekend together. we text constantly during the week, as both of us hate talking on the phone. this works well for us, though we both look forward to the day that saying "i'm home!" means we are both home in the same location

 

I absolutely despise them. I am in a long distance relationship though. We live about two and a half hours apart. We try to see each other at least every other weekend. I hate the distance because I would love to be with her more often. We have a really strong relationship though and a lot of trust. Our relationship takes a lot of work, but she is so worth it. I just wouldn't recommend a long distance relationship unless you are already in love with the person. We are planning/hoping she will be at my University or one that is a little closer next year.
