Distance doesn't ruin relationships, doubts do. Do you agree?

[Chikky]

What's your opinion if you don't agree to it

I was in a long distance relationship for 2 years. He is from Texas Im from Kentucky. We started dating July 5, 2015. We met in person for the first time October 2017 (we had video chatted pretty much everyday up until we met. Then moved in together May 2018. Long distance was hard. Certainly not something I would want to always deal with. If there were no plans of us living together eventually then no I wouldn’t have done it. Here I am almost 4 years in with my love 🥰

My boyfriend and I live 250 KMs away and it honestly makes us love each other more, like my mother says, absence makes the heart grow fonder

[ItzLaura]

Thanks for MHO 😊

I don't think anybody was meant to have a relationship that has a lot of distance. The whole reason to be in love and be with someone is to be able to see them on a daily or weekly basis. Long distance relationships aren't about doubts or confidence or trust. There should be a plan in place to where you will be together permanently... not live like this forever.

Distance definitely ruins relationships. Doesn't work. Either make sure its temporary like a month or something like that or move to be with each other. Oh yeah or just break up and save yourself the trouble.

I don't think distance ruins all relationships, but the ones that aren't meant to be. If someone is super needy, has doubts/trust issues when their partner is away, lack of communication etc can ruin a LDR... but, those things could ruin a normal relationship too.
I have been with a guy for three years and work keeps him away from home anywhere from 2-6 months out of the year. During that time you need to put a bit more effort into the relationship because you're lacking physical contact.

Speaking for myself I maybe the 1% of people that have made a long distance relationship work. I had no doubts and we are both faithful. I also wanted state that my s/o and I are both established financially so we can afford to take the trip out to see each other. My job is flexible when it comes to vacations and personal days.

I don't think distance factors in
too much for people truly dedicated to one another and
actually plan on having a future
together.

Most people that make attempts
at long distance relationships
aren't secure or mature enough
to successfully navigate the
pitfalls surrounding a standard
relationships with a person
within their city boundaries.

i disagree. distance ruins relationship, as it desynchronizes personal development and the individual evolution of personal goals and preferences. it's a very hard task to overcome this and i don't think one should play the fact down that it's very hard and most relationships are broken by distance.

[Miristheiss]

Disagree wholeheartedly.

Moving to two different geographic locations to where you don't see each other, can't spend time together or touch each other for long periods, what will definitely kill a relationship.

LDR's do not work.

I am in a long distant relationship since September 2018 and I am happy and so is my partner. He lives in a different country. The last time I saw him he was my crush but I didn't see him in person during the relationship and it doesn't bother me.

[jessture]

Temporary distance in an already established relationship won't ruin it, but two people who've never touched each other in person pretending to be in a relationship is laughable

[MyExperience]

doubts have a tendency to creep into ones consciousness when distance is a factor. But whether long distance or local, when there are doubts, there is not trust and that will always ruin a relationship.

[ShoeGirl24]

Distance doesn’t ruin a relationship if it’s a real relationship. It’s acting like your single that ruins the relationship!

[humanearth]

I have no I deal. The farthest for me was 15 - 20 miles apart. I never did computer dating. I don't cross between Human and Computer. If I did I might get a transistor crossed and short it out.

[Anonymous]

A lot of things ruin a long distance relationship. But I do think distance itself ruins it, too. When there is no plan on when the long distance will end. Or when you’ve spent so much time apart that you realize it’s better that way.

[RyanChapman]

Cheating sluts ruin relationships.
Guys who cheat ruin them too.
Everyone will cheat, they're all doomed.

[Nuremberg45]

Id agree with the assesment to a point, eventually a relationship needs intimacy, you say a lot with words but way more with physical contact, not talking about sex by the way,

[Dim1213]

Well I'd say not always. I think a lack of presence does often.

[Anonymous]

Been with my partner for 5 years and we live about 7 hours apart. Gonna make it official soon and tie the knot. I am moving to his country. Yes it can work if you love your partner !

[MiAmora]

Well I thought so. But it is mentally hard to see each other every two months for a few days

[jimyee]

Disagree. Lack of seeing the other person is pretty big in my book.

[jimyee]

And Skype does count, it needs to be physical but I'm not saying sexual.

[jimyee]

Skype doesn't count

[MrMansonsPocketPssy]

Yes, I do agree. If both partners are determined and really in love, long-distance relationships can work out.

distance doesn't matter as long as you are both seeing each other regularly

[mwanduczr]

Long distance is a killer. Unless you’re married it’s almost impossible that it will work out.
