Long-Distance Relationship


How long can you be faithful to someone until you get to see him/her again?

Would you rather have a long distance relationship or a relationship where you see/spend time with that person every day?

Do you believe your love will last during a long-distance relationship?

What do you think are the biggest obstacles to overcome for an established couple entering a long-distance relationship?

Should a new couple ever try a long-distance relationship?

Thanks for your help!

I think that it all revolves around individual integrity and loyalty to each other . I think that it would probably be better to be in a relationship where I could see/spend time with that person. I think that as long as the individuals remain true to each other (although it would be difficult in my opinion) love could last during a long distance relationship. The biggest obstacles to be overcome are I think being attracted to other people and not seeing the significant other on a daily basis. I think that as long as there is trust and love in the relationship than a new couple being separated (by distance) from each other could work out.

in my opinon a long distance relationship doesnt exist. i feel that people are human and it in our nature to sin and be stupid some times, so even if you dont think your cheating by just alittle phone conversation you can be accused of it. so i feel that long distance never works

I think that if the people are truly committed to a relationship than they can make that relationship work. If i loved someone, I could be okay with not seeing them everyday or even talking to them. It would be difficult but I don't think it is impossible. I know a couple who dated all through high school then the guy went into the marines and lived in California. After all the time of dating, they are getting married and are happier than ever. This shows that it is possible. I think there are trust problems that may arise but if you are able to be together than you just have to trust the other person.

I would definitely prefer to be able to see/feel my significant other, but sometimes it's just not possible. Me and him are both in the military, so we have to spend a lot of time apart. As long as the communication and trust stays strong by both parties, long distance relationships are possible.

I think that a long distance relationship could be a very difficult situation over time. Im a believer of out of sight will become out of mind. I also believe a younger couple would have more challenges before them, than say an older couple. For example younger people are more into the party scene, and just simply have more energy. So a night at home after work relaxing and watching movies, just might not cut the mustard for the average 20yr old. They have the peer pressure of other friends who may want to jus hang out and we all know with that its possible to enjoy the company of someone else and too much hanging out can lead to developing another relationship, especially from feeling lonely. So my perspective is I feel a relationship where you see the person everyday is better so that the two may bond and grow with each other.

Long distance relationships can be very hard and challenging, but i believe that if you truly like/love someone, it shouldn’t be difficult to be faithful. If you or the person you are in a relationship with isn’t faithful then it isn’t meant to be; if you can’t be faithful to the one person you want to be with then you don’t like them as much as you think you do. Even if you both are faithful to each other it doesn’t mean it will always last. Some people are able to accept not being able to see each other for long periods at a time. But for others, phone calls, video chats, and email just aren’t good enough.
Having a long Distance relationship isn’t for everyone, but if you think it’s worth a try, good for it.

English student said...

i believe long distance relationships are possible to last, but the bottom line is you have to have trust. both parties have to trust, it can't be one trusts, the other doesn't--it will never work that way. a lot of times, long distance relationships end up being one-sided, and heartache ensues. i have been in the situation where i could have taken the chance at a long distance relationship, and i found out that although it was difficult not being able to see or touch the person, i was able to...it was the other party who couldn't handle it. i agree with R Hall about their comment on age in this case. i too think that it would be a lot easier for an older couple to have a successful relationship as opposed to the younger ones. younger people are too eager to explore, whereas older people have gotten their exploring done and over with. so yeah, i think it just depends on the couple and how much trust and loyalty they have within them.

English student said...

Yes it can. It can be very challenging and you would have to really trust a person to do it. As one student has stated he would be worrying about cheating and if that thought enters your head at any time then you are in a relationship with the wrong person.

I think it can also be very positive. Think about the time apart, the time you spend thinking about the other, and the time you think about what you are going to do when you see each other. You are going to get it on with more passion than if you were together all the time.

I could also be very negative when you get back to being together all time time and start seeing all the little things all the time that you used to just pass off as nothing. These could build over time and.....BOOM.... I hate being with you all the time, then it's over!!!

This question really depends on the person or persons in the relationship. For every relationship this is different, the needs and how people interact with each other. There is no saying that a long relationship can't work, it just depends on the effort that you put fourth in making the relationship work. Nothing can take away how you feel towards a person and the loyalty toward each other is what is going to keep them together. The biggest obstacles to overcome are trusting one another. If you can't find a way to trust them, then everything that they say to you, will feel like a lie.

I think it depends on the individuals. Are they, out of sight out of mind, or absence makes the heart grow fonder, type of people?
The out of sight people have a hard time being faithful because they want instant gratification, while the other set of people handle delayed gratification well. I know it was hard as a teenager to keep faithful because I needed the attention but as an adult it makes my heart grow fonder--not to mention the break does you good!

I had an experience like this . . . my former girlfriend and I at first lived three states apart, and we stayed as a couple that way for over 6 months. Later she moved to my city and moved in with me. Once she was around all the time, we got to know each other way better in REAL life rather than in the imaginary life we had created in our heads while she was in Pennsylvania. In other words, this woman was easy to love from a few states away--over the phone and through romantic letters (this was before Facebook)--but when it came to living with her every day she was way too controlling for me. I disappointed her a bunch, too, of course.

Maybe my point is that it's easier to romanticize a long-distance relationship than it is an in-the-trenches-together relationship. Sort of like when you lose someone (through death or a breakup), you forget all the stuff that was bad and focus on mainly the positive stuff. The same thing happens in a long-distance relationship: you miss the person so much you build her (or him) into someone she really is not, so she can only disappoint you when you finally get to have a close-distance relationship.

English student said...

I believe that they are possible, like everyone has already said, its mostly about both parties being faithful to eachother. Ive been in a long distance relationship before, only 3 hrs, but it was still hard not being able to see him everyday. We talked on the phone and constantly texted so we kept in touch with eachother. But I would rather have a relationship where I can see and spend quality time with the person I love. And one of the biggest obstacles would have to be that it would be hard no to be attracted to someone else and find qualities in another person that match yours personality better. And personally I don't think that new couples should have a long distance relationship because they are still new to eachother and it would be easier to not be faithful and think "well we've only been seeing eachother for a short time...so I guess its ok"

I think that long distance relationships could work but only if you really like eachother.Also, it depends of the people too some people are just unfaithful so no matter how hard they try they will cheat.Long distance for me are the hardest relationships and if you two can last in one then your that for me is true love. I think that these types of relationship are also, the sadest becuase if it doesnt work out you just wasted time, during the that time you could have meet others. I would be faithful until I see them, but I would perfer to be in one where I could spend alot of time with them.I do think my love would last, and yeah deffinantly everyone should try if you dont and you two break it off then you could have finished with a relationship that could have been a great one.if it doesnt work then oh well then just move on...if its been a long relationship it will be hard but not impossible. I tend to give it a chance until i feel like its not worth it or if its making one of the two unhappy.

I believe that if you truly love someone you can make anything work. Personally I could not date someone that I hardly saw.I need to see and interact with someone I am dating. I believe it would be too difficult for me because I would not trust the other person. I would feel worried and uncomfortable if I could not see my significant other often.

English student said...

A long distance relationship would truly depend on trust and true love. You have to trust that your partner will remain true and loyal to you and your partner has to believe the same way in you. It also takes true love for it to happen. If it is not then you will probably begin to not miss them. The true love will keep you thriving to stay in the relationship. I would rather be in a relationship that I would want to see my girlfriend nearly everyday. The relationship would last as long as both people try. I think the biggest obstacle would be the pressure from other women, knowing that your real partner would not know you are cheating. I do think that a new couple would not risk their relationship unless it it really needed to happen. On the other hand that long distance would put a true test on the relationship.

Clayton B. (11:00)

English student said...

I think a long distance relationship completely depends on the two people that are going out. If they are truely in love then they should definitly be able to stay faithful. If i was in love with a girl and married i would be faithful no matter what. I think every person would like to spend time with there lover and no one would want to be in a long distance relationship where they can't see eachother. I feel your love will fade a little but eventuallly after you see your partner again your love will start right up and it will be like you were never gone. The biggest obstacle in a long distance relationship is checking up on one another and not getting jealous of the other when they go out or hang with the oppposite sex. You also feel like you need someone to physically be attched to you rather than through the phone or skype. I don't believe a new couple could handle a long term relationship becaus etehy don't know eachother well enough to trust one another. I think long term relationships can work!

English student said...

I believe each relationship is unique so its hard to say for sure, but i personally think it is very hard to remain faithful to someone when you are not around them for most of your time. I personally would rather have a relationship where i get to see the person on a daily basis. This gives me the opportunity to really get to know the person for who they truly are. I do think long distant relationships can last but it is very difficult to remain faithful and loyal.

Brett Scott (11:00)

English student said...

I feel that a long distance relationship is effective only if the relationship is very serious. If no long-term prospects such as marriage exist, what is the sense in maintaining something through phone calls and other similar methods of communication. I feel that a relationship should not be long-distance until the relationship is serious enough to stand the effects of not seeing each other all the time. Too many trust issues could come about if something is forced.

I feel like long distance never work. you barely get to see the other one. If your a couple you want to be with them every chance you can get.
Daniel (1:00)

English student said...

I feel as though it depends on the people that are in a relationship when it comes to long distance. Some couples can do fairly well with it like those who have a significant other in the army or something. Long distance relationships are rough and I am not sure if those are my thing to do.

When I was dating my ex, I left for about three months to Canada to visit family. When I got back, everything felt different when I was around him. I was kind of over it, so I broke it off. I don't do long distance relationships because if I don't see them for awhile, my thoughts and feelings will change.

I don't think a new couple should ever try long distance just because you would get lonely and it just sucks being away from someone you care about.

Jenny (11:00)

English student said...

Long distance relationship are commonly the hardest to deal with. simply because you have to go with out seeing the person you love or like the most. how could that be easy, especially if your so use to seeing them every single day of your life. The biggest problem about a long distance relationship is trust. can you trust that one person not to break you heart or betray you? they average person will break up, im speaking from experience. i wish things would of been different but the best thing that happen to us was distance. why? well you can truly find out who's actually there for you at the hardest time in your life. so the way i look at it is he or she wasnt worth your time anyway. i disagree on new couples doing it simply because they dont have the same time investment as the older couples. they havent developed much trust simply cause they hardly know each other.
