Me and my boyfriend (of 2 years) live 40 minutes away from each other


It's far enough to potentially cause problems. It will bother some people more than others though. I wouldn't want to make an hour and half round trip every day to see someone. I'd be looking for ways to cut back on that.
If it was only on weekends, it might be OK. But during the week that would be a big thing. If I was working much overtime there is no way I'd do it during the week. Even as little as 50 hour weeks I wouldn't want to do that.
Yeah, that's really far, 45 mins away from my partner would not work for me... But if you guys have been dating for two years maybe you have reached or are at least close to reaching a stage in your relationship where you can move in together...
He wants me to move in
But my parents are traditional Asian parents.. they dont want me to move in with a guy until im married
Well, then you should think about who you are in this relationship for, are you in it for yourself or for your parents? If you are in it for yourself then you should listen to what you want and not what they want. I know it can be hard doing something against your parents wishes or beliefs, but you have to realize that you are an adult and you need to make your own choices not only for your sake but for your boyfriend's sake too. If your parents disapprove then that becomes their problem not yours. All you can do is try to make them understand but if they don't then there's nothing else you can do. But if you really have any regard for yourself and for your partner, then you should do what's best for you and him too and not what's best for your parents...
Not at all, and really it's nothing compared to 3+ hours, you could still see each other 1-3 times a week if you wanted to, possibly more since you've been together 2+ years. Anyone who thinks different either doesn't have the neccessary transportation to be able to make the drive, or they are completely lazy when it comes to dating. It never bothered me when I dated an ex who lived 35-45 minutes from me.
Not at all, my boyfriend lives downtown which is about a 45min drive/an gr commute for me to see. I find it to be rather typical. I have a friend who travels about 3hr to see his girlfriend sho lives in another town.

If you think that 40 mins away are far, then what about 5000 km? Because me and my boyfriend have 5000km distance in between... You can still spare 40 mins a day to visit him... That's nothing...
40 minutes is nothing. It's 5 hours or another state when it becomes a little CRAY CRAY!
I know in some countries is quite far bc is necessary to go out from the city, but for example, some cities in Latin America, like my city... Are very big and you cross the city in 3 hours, so, 40 minutes is the normal time to move from here to somwhere...
I live that amount away from my boyfriend too! It’s not the worst distance to be fair and we manage it 😊
Not for me I live in a really really small town that doesn’t even have a grocery store plus my job is 45 mins away so driving 40 to see my girlfriend is nothing to me
40 mins is nothing. I drive longer than that to hang out with my friends sometimes. So for my partner... that’s not a problem at all.
No I don’t think it’s that’s far. My last girlfriend lived a little over an hour away by train and we made it work. The distance was never an issue.
I have a 30 minute commute to work each day, so a partner living 40 minutes away would be no problem for me
Nope, especially in Sydney traffic
Lmao sydney traffic is hella bad
I went to vivid last weekend and prepaid parking on Macquarie street, but it took almost 2 hours to get into the city 😂 raging
Of course not. I live about an hour and a half away from my partner haha, and we've been together for 3 years
No. Far for me is nearly two hours...
But far to a point where I can't visit her is three to five hours.
40 minutes? lol
Try living 1,473 miles apart. This sucks.
Da fuck? You live 40 mins away & been together for 2 years. God how can you two be serious? When you been together this long you two are supposed to be living together to make it even more serious and special. You'll never get the feel of a serious relationship unless you two are living together and actually have ups and downs. Unless both of you don't believe in that stuff until marriage.
Dont judge my relationship when you're in it mate
He wants me to move in with him but i have family beliefs.
Not all couples need to move in when they have been together for 2 years or more
Not all couples need to move in before marriage
My older brother has been with his wife for 8 years and been married for 1 year
They only lived together after they got married
So dont assume things mate.
You dont know everyones relationship
Not all relationships people have to act the same.
doesn't work that way you fool
When you're NOT in it
*****
Meh. I've been in relationships with guys who lived 4 hours away. 40 minutes are nothing.
That's not far at all. I don't even consider that a long distance relationship.
One of my girlfriend was 12 hour flight from my city. That's what we call far. What you called is what I do to get to my work. (People usually calls it updown )
If you don't have a car that would be far. If you do have one then it isn't far.
Me and my dude used to live 4 hours away from each other.
I've had a boyfriend who lived 2 hour busride away from me.
Better than living a day or two away in a whole different country lol (struggle of my life)
I think the max for me would be around an hour drive.
He’s probably using all that spare time and space apart to cheat on you. Then he’ll give you an STD and blame you for it. Enjoy your failed relationship while you can.
You dumb fuckin troll
Get off anonymous ya sleaze
Hit a nerve. Must mean he already gave you one. Sucks to be you. Keep your legs closed so it won’t happen again.
Get off it ya dumb kientt
Lmfaooo you're a joke hunny
Bahahahahha
Ya pathetic clown
Thats why u got downvotes
Stupid slut
Nope, you'll gladly drive 40 minutes to see your lover!
I used to have boyfriend who lived in another country, all is possible, my friend.
Think about people who lives in different countries.. it's pretty bad
My partner lives 20 hours flight away from me. Considering my situation I think you are very lucky.
Was that kind of distance from my ex. Was never an issue for me. I was driving it 3 times a week
Yes, it's inconvenient for a daily relationship (but possible) . Weekly is ok though.
I mean 40 minuets isn’t that close but it’s also really not that far away
Honestly it takes me more than 40 minutes to get to school so it's not that big of a deal
I have you by 10 miles more. Or i did. I lived in NYC she lived in Danbury CT. 50 some odd miles. We were together 2.5 years.
That is not too far at all. The nearest store to me is 40 minutes away so 40 minutes to see someone would mean nothing to me.
If it was in the middle of the amazon jungle. But you have a motorway. next door is a little close...
I live 80 minutes away from my work. I’d have to spent way 1.5 m on a house to live 40 minutes away.
No 40 minutes is not far.
I think it's better than living 6 thousands miles away in a different continent
"In LDR"
Well, My girlfriend and I live 4400 miles away. Is it far enough?
If you think it is too far you can move in with him "2 year" I think / years should be enough
I live an hour and 20 minutes from her, I still happily make the drive.
It depends, if you can drive it's not that bad, if you can't...
It's a bit further than most couples live apart from each other but it's not that far apart.
My ex was 5/6 hours away, 40 mins for 2 years clearly states that that's not far at all.
I don't think distance matters, if you're content it should be fine
What? Do u want your boyfriend to be from same street or next door?
Yes please
Lol then i wish i was your neighbour.
If you truly love each other, no distance will matter
Not on the big island of Hawaii. That's how far I got to travel to go to Walmart haha.
Not at all my ex lived an hour away and that was nothing
I love 2000km away from my girlfriend currently... be happy
I don’t think it too bad. Without traffic I’m sure it’s a little faster
No, it's just 40mins. That's not too bad.
40min is completely nothing
40 mins? No. That's like opposite sides of town
nope... i had a 4 hr flight to see my ex
Not once you're driving and have a job, no.
Yes it's far for me more than 20 min is far.
It's a little far but certainly not unworkably so.
First of all I lived 3000 miles away from my ex and second of all showing where u live online ain't smart

Nope, it’s not far at all
