Search Results: long distance relationship

I dated Pat in 1979-1980, and she decided to return to her ex-husband because she felt guilty about their divorce. In 2003, I reunited with Pat and we married in 2005. We divorced early in 2007 after she was unfaithful to me. In reuniting, I ignored the warning signs.

Later that year, I met Oksana and we dated throughout 2007 and 2008. Then she moved about 250 miles away and we drifted apart. I kept in contact with her and we eventually started trying to rekindle things on a long distance basis, but she wasn't willing to make the effort and I decided to say goodbye so that I could move forward with my life.

When you try a relationship and it doesn't work the first time. . . you can try it again but it usually doesn't work the second time, either. . . unless the problem was just distance (like graduating high school and going to different colleges.)

What is your experience wth trying to reignite a failed relationship?

If you meet someone online and you NEVER meet in person, that mean you never

held hands

hugged

had a first kiss

had a makeout session

had sex together

Those are all things that people do in traditional relationships, at least eventually. Yes, of course, if you don't have the "distractions" of a physical relationship, you can pay attention to getting to know each other better, but. . . isn't that what they call "friendship?"

What do you think? LDR + never meet = not a relationship?
