If you’ve ever been in an LDR before, what's stopping you from giving a long distance relationships another try? (Page 2)

Question

I’ve been fighting these for a good while now. I was very supportive of them and made mine last as long as i could. Some of you may remember this old take of mine (see below). But now i just dont care to be in one anymore. Its not really that its hard. I just no longer have the patience of waiting to see that person and so on. I’m at a point in life where i want to marry and have kids. Being in an ldr just stretches out the possibility of that happening. And honestly that just sucks cause i’ve met some great people who live far away. I just dont think its for me anymore... by the way do y'all think it’ll be a boost in LDR’s due to corona?  A Long Distance Relationship from A Long Distance Lover 🙌❤️😄❤️🙌 #FeelFreeToList #LongDistanceLovers

Avicenna · Answer

Well, in my last relationship, I probably would not have dated her had I seen what her life was like and what her family was like because they were so insular and culturally different. In an LDR, you lack that sort of information.

Fromdusktilldawn · Answer

I interestingly had some friendships with girls online and even to the point that she and I admitted we would be great as a couple but decided to not do a LDR because that just doesn't work out. There should be intimacy, physical contact and enjoy time together

Adam1978 · Answer

I can have long distance friends but it would never become a relationship without physical contact. And after that there must be a plan on how it should work out. Ie it can't remain long distance forever, someone must take the leap.

Guthm · Answer

I have been in LDR for 2 years but I don't think it's good for both sides.
And don't want to do it again Because the only connect between me and her was through screen and this so sad and pathetic. I can't touch her or see her in real life despite if something happens to her or her internet connection , I will never know

SarahsSummer · Answer

Once but not like most on gag refer to their e-friend/pen pal as an ldr. We met in summer and then maintained an ldr while both away at colleges. We’d get together 1-2 times a month. It probably lasted longer than it should’ve had we both been local.

It's not worth it--especially when you're young. You should be in relationships that are in person. Not just not long distance, but also not over text. Basically see each other have sex, go out together, have sex, engage in hobbies so you grow together and have more sex. Notice that most of those things you can't do when you're distance.

I tried to be with a LDR with someone a family friend set me up with. Thought the person liked me and it was going well until they had to leave out of the country for work. I started not hearing from the guy for a couple of months and noticed he was talking to other girls on social media which really hurt. I deleted him from all social media. Depends on the person you're LDR with but most of the time it doesn't work.

mickcurious · Answer

The fact that they were accusing me all the time of things and they were doing them. normally I'm pretty good at feeling energies but not as easy to also witness certain red flags from far away

lookin64 · Answer

I was in one and it was a lot of give and take. A lot of giving on my side and a lot of taking on the other side and it seemed the more money I gave the more needed lol

hellacray · Answer

Ugh... Cause it's dumb? I don't consider ldr to be real relationships.

You can't have a relationship just by talking or texting. It's not going to last.

Not to mention you have no idea what that other person is doing.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

I was in long distance twice... Once because he was too much of a pussy to break up with me or because he wanted someone at home while he travelled and once with my current fiance for 9 months till he moved to my country.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I didn't have an option to vote for that fit my experience. I've never been in an LDR before but I've always been open to the idea. I'm also open to meeting in person and eventually moving closer together.

cheapshotbob · Answer

i would do it again but i would do it right this time around because the last one did not end well.

katjmj · Answer

I'm in one right now and needless to say, I wouldn't want to do it again. It's giving me major second thoughts.

Blubby1234 · Answer

I have before I would only do it again if I really believed in the relationship and knew he felt the same as I did

Trooper205 · Answer

The only Relationships I've been in were Long-distance. In fact, I currently am in one, and it's the Best one ever! (No offense, DizzyDesii, you're still wonderful)

Rohailhyt · Answer

Long distance relationship is not reliable. You never know where will it land... people at the two ends have different future plans may be they will never fit for eachother. Further tell me, everyone needs sex so what do they do for sex...

Emily_925 · Answer

Imm in one but i would never ever do it again its a dumb idea and way too hard

misfitprophet1 · Answer

I bore easily also I can not live in the suspense. i lose that hope bullshit pretty quickly because i don't like living a lie

PaganWarrior · Answer

Yes, and I don't want to do it again unless the person is willing to prove they're not a damn catfish.
