When you go to college and don't live with your parents, it isn't hard to drive/fly somewhere to meet your significant other for an extended period of time lol

@glow how is it "really special circumstance" that we have met twice compared to you meeting once?

And you can buy plane tickets after like 2 weeks of working minimum wage, you just have to open up your schedule which isn't that hard

lol u got to stay together for a whole week, we met for 24 hrs, i think there's a huge difference there. i know for me and a lot of my friends things are way more complicated, especially when ur younger, considering tht ur parents don't usually approve of the relationship, ur partner can't stay w u so u have to include hotel fees, etc. from the ldr i've encountered, u rlly r very lucky to be able to do something like that. so yeah, it's different for everyone and i wouldn't go around recommending long distance to people.

Here's something you should know because no one has told you: do NOT get into a long distance relationship if there is no ending to it. By that I mean, if you're in a relationship that has to be long-distance temporarily or for a few years, you can potentially make it work. It sucks a lot though, and it's generally a lot of pain/heartache/commitment that most people don't want to make.

But if you're in a long distance relationship where there is no end goal and your lives are moving in separate directions and you will never be able to see each other, then don't do it. Trust me. It will simply lead to more heartbreak.

I would even argue that if it's going to be long distance for longer than a year, it's probably not worth the time, money, and stress. long distance needs to be a temporary thing, because after all the end goal of a relationship is to be WITH the person. Yeah people make it work but guess what, they're not you. Just because a couple on em is doing great meeting twice in a year (or whatever hypothetical situation you want to suggest) does not guarantee that you can pull off the same, and generally most LDRs don't work out without eliminating the distance sooner rather than later.

That's why I would just advise against it for the most part tbh

That's true. However, longer than a year is definitely doable, but it takes a lot of patience/maturity/dedication from both sides. It's something that -can- be pulled off, but it happens pretty rarely. In that case then yeah, it's rare for it to be a great idea.

Hi, as someone who is currently in a LDR with someone from here; I'd like to say, it's not as bad as you are trying to make it out to be. I am so thankful for having zach (apeescaper) in my life, and quite frankly everything is better with him in my life. We've met up twice now, and I just got back from staying with him for a week (We also made sure to meet up in person before becoming official, so it's wasn't just an "online relationship"). So while everyone is tearing up LDR's/online relationships- look at the good too. Not just the bad.
Sure it sucks not being with them on a daily basis, however it makes the time spent with them more meaningful..........

thx for reading my ramble.

this is a really special circumstance, most people don't have the money or the opportunity to come and visit their significant other so frequently and for such a long time. i've been with my bf for almost a year and we've only been able to meet once for a weekend. so yeah, maybe long distance doesn't suck for you, but it definitely sucks in general. ur rlly lucky to be able to do these things but ur experience with ldr is definitely not a common one that everyone can experience also.

I'm not dating someone I met online (avoid if possible), but I've been in a LDR since my freshman year at uni. It's not fun & countless people will ask if you like it, which no, I obviously don't, but it's worth it. The time together is meaningful, but it's a challenge.
