You haven't been 'together'. You've been playing a game and wasting your time - yes, all that time. What a joke.
Consider dating someone you can actually SEE and BE WITH. You'll get way more out of it, I guarantee it.
We actually met each other twice after almost 4 years I got cheated on
Wow. Twice in four years. I hope you understand you really have NOTHING. This is EXACTLY why LDR's don't work - the stats are one or the other will find someone else. And that statistic happens within 90 days - four years is absolutely ridiculous.
It only works if the two people want each other enough. It doesn't take much for humans to fall out of love so if you two aren't trying to close your gap and have no end in sight, there really isn't a point.
It won't. Dont believe the media stories, those are the special cases. Not the normal storyline. Most cases than not, you'll be better with a close proximity relationship.
Personally my experience taught me that I don’t really believe in LDRs.
1 in a 100 long distance relationships work out. Are you that one? Probably not. If you haven't been able to find a solution in 5 years, you're spinning your wheels.
It is a challenge but in the end it's worth it. I'm in one and we've been together for a little over 14 months. We live 9 hours away from each other but we are still as close as ever before.
I've been in a LDR for 6 years. Come this June it will finally pay off. We're moving in together and getting our own place. It just depends on how much you love each other. If they're "the one" it's worth waiting for.
My parents were long distance for a couple of years and it worked out.
The key is to try to get married as soon as possible.
It’s a slim chance , not saying it can’t work but you both have to be on the same page and want it to work , usually one ends up straying with someone closer to them and all hell breaks loose
They are VERY difficult and usually don’t work out. The only ones that do are because they eventually make them non-long distance relationships
I have tried long distance for most of my dating experience and so far it has not worked yet but I know for some people it has worked out for them.
Long distance relationship is stupid. Just move in together or move closer. You’re wasting a lot of time doing that. It’s not gonna end up working out. I’m sorry
Might depend on part on how long it will be until you can live near each other
That’s actually uncertain right now
That’s a problem
If you don't put effort into it, it will certainly not work out well.
Nothing lasts forever. Might need to dump him before your heart breaks or he dies.
No cause one to far apart and temptation especially when they are far from each other.
Most of them fail because you can’t just text and text all day you have to do other things mine worked out
Most of them fails Cus of the trust issues as well. I’m glad yours worked out
We talked all the time every day and watched movies while on the phone and fell asleep together over the phone at night we had good trust. I would send her care packages by way of UPS
After 2 1/2 years of doing that we met in person and travel the world together then she moved in with me
That’s what we used to do, talked on the phone till we both passed and we even traveled. But life is a constant change indeed. I’m happy for you both
Oh great. Well that was in the past but at least we lasted 7 1/2 years but thank you
I’m sorry to hear that. You survived thou
It took me three years to get over her I’ve never dated ever again after her
It was not easy Cus yours lasted 7 1/2 years. I don’t know how long I will move on
It’s going to be very tough but try to stay positive and busy
I’m always positive. I know everything happens for a reason
Yes...
@khayecv02 That's a difficult question because it depends on how both parties are willing to put effort into making long distance relationship work.
The vast majority of LDRs don't work out. I would say that at your age 5 years is more than long enough. If it hasn't done the job by now it probably never will. Sounds like time to move on.
I feel like it could. If both people are willing to put in effort, anything is possible.
