Overseas duty was rough. Three weeks a month.
I've done it.. And it creates false illusion. I think however being with Aryk and having lived with him and understand him pretty well.. We would make it work. Especially cause aryk has his heart in this relationship and I know he would do what he could to keep it working!! I'd see him as often as it would Allow in the circumstances, but have face time dates but try not to talk obsessive where it would consume our lives!
Maybe over short periods of time they can work but once it turns into years, it starts to feel like a pen pal/hook-up relationship. It gets old. It gets repetitive. And it gets tired.
An hour drive is already becoming harder as the weeks go by. But I know it's only temporary. Got to be a patient girl for a little bit.
It can actually work as long as both people are committed. I am in one now and I believe that If there is true love it can last forever :) . How often? In our case we talk through Skype everyday but its only once a year that we can be reunited. I know it can be tough and many times I just feel like giving up but I know deep in my heart that good things are never easy to get. Is it worth it? Absolutely !!!
I agree at least monthly or things will fizzle out,
My husband is in the military so I'm not in control of when he is away but we will never choose to be away from from each other for an extended period of time. No matter how long, we will always make it work. We aren't in a relationship, we are in a marriage.
Not a Fan
We've recently had to transition into one and it sucks. Having a time of which you can countdown to towards being together again definitely helps though. Ours is finally almost over
I don't do well in a long distance relationship. I enjoy seeing the person I'm with.
There not impossible I've been in one for almost a year and we found love you both have to work and make sacrifices and if you truly 100% love each other no amount of time or distance will stop you
Can't have a relationship if there's distance.
I don't believe they can work unless its a work, school or military situation. But if it's just a situation of I met someone on vacation and we lives miles away from each other it's not gonna work. Now if I have a established a monogamous relationship before they had to move for the reason previously listed then it may work for awhile.
im in a long distance relationship right now.i can say that its difficult but it test your trust and love to each other. everyday i know he fights for the difficulties of our relationship and he never give up
eevery single person is different =) i had 1 real long distance relationship and every visit felt special. however, this may jest have been the guy i was with, it made communication frustrating.
