Opinions on Long-Distance?

[LozziRAWR]

I'm in a long distance relationship within the uk, and he lives 130 miles from me. I recently tried to go and see him but i got grounded at the last minute because i didnt close the door properly behind me when i went to the shop up the road.
He spent the next 2 days blaming me, but now we're both fine, but this has happened a lot.
What are your opinions on long distance relationships?

Personally, I don't think a long distance relationship can work between kids. Also, I don't think it's healthy. I think young teens should get out and explore their peers. Relationships aren't that serious at a young age, and long distance can contribute to unneeded stress.

I don't think that LDR's are worth it. Sure, you live relatively close to each other, granted it could be a lot further. But, it isn't worth it if you can't see each other, why? Because in a relationship you need physical contact as well as the bonding process and LDR's can give. I know from experience, it won't work especially when you're young. You're better of waiting until you're older, can easily get to each other and when your parents won't ground you.

If you can make it work, then fine go for it. If you can't and you're always stuck in this same situation, I think that it's time you call it quits. Yes, that's harsh but unless you know there's a possibility that there's a future between you, I wouldn't do LDR's. Things like Skype do help, but at the end of the day, when are you going to have a life that isn't long distance, and where you can be with each other? You have to think like that.

You're going to be stressed out because you cant see each other, you'll probably blow off your friends just so you can talk to each other, and you'll probably not develop a healthy relationship outside of what you're living now. You're young, find someone that lives where you live, or is close and all that because you need physical contact as well. That's just my opinion.

Long distance relationships can work out depending on how long distance it is and how old you are (weather your able to travel to visit). A long distance relationship could have just as much potential as any other relationship. It just takes a lot of hard work and commitment. Good luck!

Long Distance Relationships can work. However, I have always found that they are not worth it. If it starts at long distance then I think it is never a great idea but if it was coupled and then someone moved it has more of a chance.

However, I do think you need to see each other often as never seeing each other is not a good thing.

I have opinions on long distance relationships but maybe thats not what you need - other peoples opinions.

I guess you have to decide your self if its going to go on and just how much you can see each other - - but then maybe you talk on the phone or email and keep in touch and who knows what the future might bring.

Hope it works out as you need it to


My own opinion is that all relationships need time and effort and we can only really to that seeing each other.

I personally could never be in a relationship where they live over 30 minutes away.

But they can work if enough effort is put into it by both people. Can't he come see you?

I've a friend in a LDR at the moment. They've been together for almost two months. She keeps blowing us off to Skype with the guy. She's giving up college to move and live with him. Craaazy.

Anyway, I don't think they can work unless you're really and truly meant to be. I've two different friends, and you can tell it really is absolutely true love. Just everything about them together is perfect. They live like an hour away from each other, but they make it work.

If you're committed to it, and believe in it, then it'll work. If you know that it's not going to last forever, give up and save the extra heartbreak now.

They don't work
I know from xp

i think its hard to have a long distance relationship at your age becuase for a relationship to really work you should atually see eachother, but its not impossible if both of you put the effort in, ask if he can visit you instead?

[FullyAlive]

Done it, wouldn't do it again.

At our age they're impractical you can't see each other and your lives are in two separate places you don't have the same friends, don't go out to the same places the same parties etc. Its hard to share experiences with someone you don't have experiences with. For me personally I had two choices isolate myself and spend my time online with my boyfriend or go out with my real life friends and suffer arguments and suspicion from him.

I'm sure they're not all like that no, but I wouldn't risk it again i'm happier out of it.
