Have you ever had a long distance relationship?

[Dantezam]

Would you recommend it?

[DizzyDesii]

Yes several times and I’m not bothered by it. I like not seeing eachother every week/month. My LDRs lasted longer than my in person relationships since i get annoyed easily and run when the person gets to clingy. But now im with someone who lives nearby and he's more clingy so i asked for at least 1 week a month to myself. We’ll see how long i can tolerate only having 1 week cause even when i say im busy, he texts nonstop about missing me. But he's such a sweetheart that I try not to be mad at it. And he's treating me loads better than the last. Plus we have like 90% in common. he's an amazing guy

Yes I married someone from another country. He’s the loml and I don’t recommend LDRs because it shouldn’t be a thing or a long term thing. It should be a meet up thing and the plan should be to meet up and eventually be together and also usually there will almost always be pain around the fact one will have to leave their country and they will miss all that they know and get homesick. Unless both decided to move somewhere new altogether.

I also recommend trying in-person meet ups for dates and not just random or off the net. Be smart about it. 😥

I thought I was in a long distance relationship but I was wrong. I thinking dating someone who lives nearby is always better.

However, if you and your SO are planning on meeting each other in person within a year or so and you can actually do it, then it might not be a bad idea.

Hi I wouldn’t recommend it I done it for three weeks and that’s another reason why my relationship with my ex fell apart he was in the Philippines seeing his dad as his step mum was from there and his dad lived with her

[PeachyPie93]

Yes I moved to another country for him. No I do not recommend it. It was fine but there were a lot of issues for me moving to a new place, and the fact I had to wait years to get to go back home was not good for my mental health.

No
But I feel it’s okay
When both parties are like minded

[Simslover92]

Yes I am in one now and although things are going great for us, I would not recommend it because it absolutely sucks not being able to see them as often as you would like to.

[Cute_Miss_Laura]

No, I’ve actually ended a great relationship to avoid one!

[susie22]

Lol, I'm currently in one right now.

[DishLady]

Don’t do it. It’s an enormous PITA.

[Dnice1]

Yes I have but they are a challenge
