Long distance? man disguise as lady and lady disguise as man.
Hows that.....if one's work sends them across the country or if they have met?
In your own Opinion and or experience. Do Long distance relationships work? Besides Communication being key. What keeps people who are apart, together with one another. If they are not married and or a significant other that lives with someone?
In developing a relationship wherein such has come about. Is seeing each other a couple times out of year enough to keep the relationship going? Should contact with each other be a daily thing while being apart. Meaning should it be important to both involved to want or look to be in contact with each other daily? If both are totally into one another.....would this be like a first thought upon their mind? What other concerns would you think of first hand or Right off the top?
In todays day and age. Who would have a more difficult time with long distance relationships. Men, Women, Old or young? That would be generally speaking and not some specific cases or circumstances, and not to say that it doesn't affect everyone who is involved in a long distance relationship.
Another question would be if your closest friend is or was in one.....what was your take on it. If things got serious enough that both were talking of a life together. Would you encourage this.....if you knew your friend or family member would move away?
Personally, I would never get involved in a long-distance relationship. There's no upside, in my opinion. As a rule, they don't work out, so I'd consider it a time-waster and likely to bring a great deal of drama into my life.
I've known married couples who, for various reasons, have had to have long-distance relationships for some length of time. I'm not sure what the statistics are for those, but, with a 50% divorce rate taking all relationships into account, I think it's a fair bet that long distance ones (for a period longer than six months or a year) have a higher failure rate than that.
The whole idea of a relationship in the first place is to have a life partner. Skyping just isn't the same.
Heya Maggie.What about those in the Military or Government? That get separated.
Well, in my opinion, those are the split relationships that would have the highest probability of all to succeed.
Nonmarrieds away at different colleges? Hardly a snowball's chance. Nonmarrieds (and marrieds) with different career paths? Nah, ain't happenin' most of the time.
I think it depends on the circumstances. If there is no set plan for it not to be a long distance relationship and could continue as such in perpetuity, then I wouldn't put in the time.
Out of sight, out of mind? it really does depend on the relationship, doesn't it? but it's a strain ... after all, why are we in relationships principally? Companionship, no (and, yes, that includes the sex)? So, if you can't experience the main reason you're together, then what's the point, no? But if you have a solid relationship and you know how long you're going to be apart, and you have family and friends, it can and often does work ...
