Long Distance Relationships

Recommended Posts

Long Distance relationships can work.

I work in Construction, and, by its very nature you follow the work, be it nationally, or internationally. I know many many people who live away from home, for weeks and months at a time. and when they come home are only there for a short time, often a few weeks a year! A 'very' high proportion of these guys are married, a lot have kids. However a lot can be singletons and can't do the whole long distance thing.

It seems there is no right, there is no wrong it depends as with all relationships on those involved. and the circumstances that surround them!

They don't always never work!

Take me and Yves - I'm in Essex, England and he's in Belgium so yep we are long-distance and it works for us..it's hard not seeing other but we manage..so yup real example of a Long-Distance Relationship between two TOC members here..and a very much surviving one too.

:yes:

Whats happened to make you get stung tho?

!Removed! mad people!! :lol:

instead of making comments like that (you too scionic) you could have said nothing, a bit of support wouldnt have gone amiss

I dont believe in LTR, but i hope it works out for you blue :group-cuddles:

People who say that LTR dont work are usually the ones who have been cheated on or have cheated themselves. They can work if the people love each other and are dedicated to the relationship.

Blue and Yves are proving that one :D

I think with comments like that it is just as well that you are over there and we are over here.

Please learn some respect for other people and their feelings :angry:

Ah, I was only kidding.

I've been in loads of distance relationships .. infact, all of mine have been at one point or another.

The last one went for a year long didsance and only stopped when it was local.

The current one was local is, and now isn't, and things are going fine.

I also think it depends on your age .. I've split up with people cause they were 30mins away .. I'm now happy with 2 hours on a plane ..

Talking to someone on the telephone, sending email and seeing them from time to time isn't really a relationship, now is it? It's an e-friendship. :lol:

Ha an e-friendship? You really do know nothing..

They are the ones with the unrealistic romantic notions that lead to a purely emotional decision like attempting an LTR in the first place.

It should make no difference what I think though. It's your own insecurities that probably upset you, not the opinion of a stranger on the Internet.  :yes:

Don't mind me. Everyone here knows I am dark and evil inside.  :ph34r:

Unrealistic romantic notions? Purely emotional decision? Haha I am laughing so much now.....wow you sure do know how to go around offending people dont you? I'm shocked you havent made a career out of it..

Also I'm insecure now too? I just dislike how you through what appear to be "insults" around..

Dave - good luck and just remember to wear your 'babe magnet' trainers when out on the town. There's a girl out there for you. ;)

True.

If you find a man with low testosterone and a weak s*x drive I'm sure he could remain faithful for months at a time without losing his mind.

Blue, Just make sure Yves only takes his Viagra when he's back in the UK. :lol:

Scionic, you are totally out of order for that comment. Blue & Yves are very good friends of mine and don't deserve cheap shots like that. If they are happy within their relationship (long distance or not) then that should be respected. You have your opinion, they have theirs - comments like that however, aid no part of an informed discussion or debate.

Just so that everyone knows, comments that directly insult/abuse other members are not tolerated and official warnings are given.

As in this case...

some relationships dont work wether distance is a factor or not, i was in a LDR for three years it was great at the time but when it was no longer a LDR it ended because after three years we had only really spent a equal amount of time together as say a three month "normal" relationship and when it ended it was hard because i felt that i had devoted three years of my life to a three month relationship at the end of the day if you meant to be together long term it will work regardless of trust/paranoia OR distance it just will all come together and feel great. I definatly wouldnt start avoiding any knd of LDR again just because "long distance relationships dont work" you could miss out on a truly great thing and potentially the love of your life.

It all depends on the people involved - some people (like Blue & Yves) can do it and do it well and others (like me!) just can't!

Scionic - you are way out of line Thumper! If you cant say something nice, dont say nothing at all! :angry:
