why are people sarcastic towards long distance relationships?

I think because this type of thing makes it easier for both people to cheat without the other knowing.

hehe, never mind those envious people, don't let them take away your joy at any time. when you're losing optimism, just remember pinay kokopelli who's been in a LDR, made it thru, and now happily married with her loving american hubby :)

Not sarcastic but it takes alot of work physically, mentally, and financially to keep it going on, and it's quite impossible for people with no financial ability to step into a long distance relationship. My friend was in a long distance r/s with her boyfriend, but they eventually broke up 5 years later.. but it wasn't because of the long distance I think.

I had a bf who was with me for a year, and then he had to go back to Australia, but we kept in touch over the phone and mail for another year, but in the end I thought its really not gonna work out so I dumped him. I wasn't pessimistic about a long distance relationship, but we had a long way before we'd have finished our education and gotten together..plus he was kinda beefin with other gals there, so I did what was best for me. On a general note, long distance relationships have worked for some people and from your pictures, you both seem to be so much in love, am sure it'd work for you! :) All the best!

The trouble with long distance relationships lie in the difficulty of pulling through with them. In the first place, it's either you have met shortly somewhere or, it could be that a friend had simply introduced one to the other by mail or the internet, or it could be that you met through the internet. Then everything after that will be left greatly to the internet, the mail or phone calls. How then can the relationship go any deeper? For the couple to know each other better, either one visits the other or that they meet at a common place from time to time. This is very expensive matter to pursue. Not only in monetary terms but also in terms of time spent. There goes now the main reason for most of the collapse of these relationships. But not all failed. I have known so many who pulled it through till marriage. A lot have become lifetime commitments. If the couple are meant for each other, I don't see any reason why they won't make it. It just simply requires so much more from both parties. More than just the usual patience and love.

I think some people are just over acting in some long distance relationship because they can never survive or they don't know how to handle long distance relationship. Maybe they are just envy, just don't mind what other people say because what important is you love each other so much and no sarcastic reaction can break that love. I'm happy for you and stay beautiful. Happy Mylotting

Well it's probably because they haven't been in a long distance relationship themselves OR they were in one where it did not work out. Don't worry too much about it. You need to do what you have to for yourself. If you are happy and in love, and so is your boyfriend, then that's all that matters!
