long distance relationship

Wah well I'm about to to find out soon My husband is about to go to school across the country /.\

Keep half of him with you let the other one go to school ... just choose wisely which part you keep o.o http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dmQh5b6lZ28/hqdefault.jpg

I know a good deal of people who've met up online, gotten married, and are quite happy together. As said, it depends on levels of commitment to making it work, as well as trust and faith in one another, yet money and distance apart can put a kink/strain on any relationship. It's best to always keep reality in check, and not do anything brash. You also have to be careful that you do Skype/video call, etc., and know who you are getting on with. I know people who have gone great lengths to meet someone, in person, that they met online, only to find they weren't who they said they were, leaving them out a couple of hundred (much needed) dollars. Not ragging on it, because it's definitely possible, and can work wonders. You just need to invest, but be careful that you're investing in the right person.

I honestly don't think they're worth it. The people I've met online LDR were the worst relationships I've ever been in. My last relationship of 2 years became LDR after we graduated university, and he got a paralegal job out of state. We skyped everyday, and even sleep-skyped (staying on skype while we slept), but because of the time difference, his job, and other factors, we got really irritated with each other, and broke up. I think online LDRs might work, but less so for people who spent time with each other IRL almost every day.

I havn't been in one, and I don't really like the idea, granted it depends how long the long distant relationship really is. If its like an hour away, it can work. If its where you can't visit very often, then probs not.

Yeah, just need both partners to understand each other and try to make it work. Also make sure that there are plans and goals to meet up and actually eventually see each other/live closer. ROFL skype chats and skype sleeping I remember those days. I know it was hard for my last relationship with me being in a different state after living together because I had joined the military. Though I think the reason mine was doomed to fail was because right after I got back......I started school again and she had to move back to her state due to her parents being Ill and all. Though mostly my reluctance to pop the question. I mean, our goals conflicted eventually.. She wanted a family and marriage NOW, and I wanted it later after finishing school. So make sure your goals are at least in common with theirs.

I've been in plenty myself and the last one I was in was especially depressing after the breakup and I can safely say that long distance relationships really don't work out if you can't visit one another every now and then. That's the reason why I'll only date women from the UK from now on so I learned my lesson on that one, sure even if they live quite a few miles away it's a lot easier seeing them in the same country than it is to visit someone overseas - I mean you'd need to be on a pretty damn good wage if you plan on visiting someone overseas regularly.
