Is Long Distance Relationship not really fighting for?

I am in a long distance relationship at the moment. The last time I saw him was January this year, yet we still enjoy talking to each other almost everyday, missing each other, longing to be together again. An hour over the phone per day seem not enough, but for now, it will suffice. I "met" him in a trivia channel. We were both players then. That was about more than 7 years ago. I was in college then. I guess we just had a lot of common stuff and we can talk about anything and everything. We got into the relationship without meeting. Two years into the relationship, we met for the first time, but it felt as though we have known each other so well. Six and a half years, and still going strong! If you add together the times that we are together, it will not even amount to a year, but I believe the magic is there. I know the number of years is not a guarantee that this will last for a lifetime (I am hoping it would, though), and I have been preparing myself of the possibilities, but for now, I am enjoying it. To some people, being physically together most of the time (if not all the time) is a big thing. However, it is not a guarantee that it will last as well. We are both looking forward to see each other again. I am just glad that technology has made a lot of things possible. Most of LDRs would crumble after a few months or years. It is up to the people involved in that relationship how much effort they would BOTH put to make it work. I don't think about the distance. I just think he's always here with me, anywhere life may take me. I am happy, so he is. I think that's what matters. So in conclusion, I would say things as such should be treated in a case-to-case basis.

hi rhizjen, I am in a long distance relationship for three years. Actually, the first months and years is full of hope and sweetness. The beginnings are full of dreams. But as time goes by boredom takes it place. I have a Chinese friend whom I know in the internet for few months and after that he decided to visit me. Just for few months he was able to visit me but my boyfriend cannot make it inspite of the fact we are chatting for almost 3 years. We almost broke up before our anniversary but now we are ok. Honestly, long distance relationship is very difficult. If the love is not that strong and both of you are not patient, nothing will happen in the relationship. However,if it is true love that both individuals are feeling with each other, then I think it is worth fighting for.

I was in a long distance relationship for 6 yrs. It worked out for awhile and then he started cheating and lieing to me so I ended it because I was tired of getting hurt. It depends on the people though it takes 2 people to make it work. I would probably try a long distance relationship again but I really don't want too. it's hard because I rather have the love and affectionate and you can't have that if it's over the phone or internet. I now just found a man where I live that I can say is my true love and treats me like a princess :). He's better than all the other guys I have dated so i'm glad I waited for him to come to me and stopped searching myself for the one...You're friend will find a new guy that will treat her like she should be treated. It may take some getting used to but she wont regret it. Good luck to her :)

A pleasant day to you Rhizjen, It is indeed difficult to handle a long distance relationship. That, both must exert an effort in order that communication will be spontaneous. Since this is the main ingredients of a long distance relationship. For without the proper communication, a long distance relationship will not grow that healthy. In addition, with regard to your main topic, long distance relationship is somehow worth fighting for, as long as you know that you and your partner are still in-love to each other. For that love will keep you binded. And for that reason, you will have the enough courage to fight for what do you feel. However, if one of the partner is not in-love anymore or there is a sudden change in feelings in one of the partner, then, it is indeed difficult to fight for it. Hence, a relationship in general is a two-way road that both of you must know the proper way.

In my opinion people have to have personal, real contact to have a healthy relationship. Of course, it can be maintained, but I think that only for a certain period of time. As for me, I could never be involved in a serious relationship only if we would communicate through Internet. We can find mates on Internet, but if the relationship is only virtual, I would eventually let it go. We can be chat mates for ever, but never more than that.

Long Distance relationships are certainly becoming more common. If a person found himself in a romantic situation that's hindered by location, don't despair.You can make it work. Here's how: 1.Set Rules.You can't be shy about expressing your wants, desires and concerns. How often will you talk on the phone? who will come to visit and when? Will you two be seeing each other in the romantic sense? You don't have to be dictator and set everything in stone, but having these things out in the open will avoid the guessing games. 2. Have confidence, and grab a filter. It is likely that your friends, family, and acquaintances will not understand your desire to stay committed to this realtionship. You have to have confidence in your decisions, and be able to filter the practical advice from the biased advice. 3. Get a life.You'll need to have a life outside of your relationship. You cannot sit around pinning away for your love all day. Get some hobbies, visit with your friends, focus on school or work so that when you do talk with your love you will actually have something to say. 4. Get creative. Even though you aren't face to face with your significant other you can still have fun with them. Send them handwritten letters. Take photos and make mini scrapbooks and collages so they can see what a day in your life is like. Have a video chats like Skype. Make a "date night" with them and plan on having a meal "together" via phone or video chat. Then you all can watch the same movie "together" and maybe even fall asleep. 5. Have an exit strategy. Sooner or later it will be time to end the long distance relationship. Eventually you will have to start planning for that. Who is going to move and when? Or, if it is just not working, don't be afraid to end it.

Every relationship has the capacity of working out. Short distance or long distance should not alter the relationship. You may have to work at a long distance relationship a little harder. You don't have the convenience of seeing the one you care about every day. it should not make a difference to your heart.

I don't thinik is worth fighting for. I won't deny that there are exceptions of long distance relationship which really work but most of them don't. cuz ven if you're sincere and you like the other person you won't have any guarantee that he is also sincere. plus what you love is an image created in your mind by the picture and the way that person sustains he is. on the internet you can create a totally different image from your real one. you can be whoever you feel like.

Hi rhizjen,sad to hear that this kind of situation has come to an end for your friend's relationship.My empirical approach is this.Long distance relationship is a kind of binding to people in different location.Unless if you are both married and like this,they not even meet yet.right?In today's modernization and so by using the internet as a way of communicating and sharing both feelings has been a common tool.In my case,I have been in a long distance relationship too when I was a cadet of a military school.Setting aside first my feelings and so we have to communicate seldom has taken a great disaster with our relationship.My ex-girlfriend got pregnant with other guy.So,this long distance relationship made me realized that she don't love me,or whatever reasons she may have.I forgive her,but its over. I don't believe in long distance relationship.That is all.

I have been in that long distance relationship it's a quite hard if one does have the will then why not.Actually, for me love doesn't matter even how far apart of the lovers.It's depends in financial, will and love.If you can afford to met your love one even how far,it could be, it's possible to happen.And if you have the will to fight for your relationship, then you can make it.Love,if you deeply and sincerely love that person it won't matter the distance and you can wait even how long it takes.Love conquer all,love does not make any excuses,love always finds a way.If someone can't fight for it,well he just not love you enough.And does not have any will.
