Just curious how many of you would work to maintain a long distance relationship if you really enjoyed being with the person you were dating.

The reason I ask is cause I just got out of a relationship that was long distance. We were both happy but she said she couldn't handle the distance. We saw each other almost every weekend. We didn't argue and talked on the phone every day. So whats your stance on this.

I would at least try it. But I think it would depend how involved the other person made me in thier life even across the miles. In any relationship you have to be a priority to each other and sometimes that gets lost when we are all busy with our day to day stuff in a long distance relationship.

I didn't want one at all! But, it sort of snuck up on me. Now, I am in one and it is hard. But, I think we will make it. I just don't think we will do too much back and forth...just forth bigsmile

Finances have a great deal to do with LDRs. If you've got loads of disposable income at the ready, then it'd be no problem at all. However- if the finances are tight, then there will be problems. That goes especially for what's going on at present, with our totally insane prices for fuel and other necessities.

I agree with Winx.. in a normal relationship you basically see the person on weekends only, due to work and busy schedules..

Were you the one doing the driving for the weekend visits? If so, I'd say that there were other reasons for her ending it. JMO

Well the cash wasn't really an issue, we lived about 100 miles apart so we make the drive back and forth on one tank of gas. I paid for her gas a lot of the time too just to make it easier on her if she was driving. I think its easier for me to handle it because I'm prior military and had to deal with it with deployments and stuff. I just wanted to see everyone elses opinion.

No we would switch off weekends, I would drive one weekend and she would do the other.

One thing she said was that if she needed me at that time she knew she couldn't call me and have me come over.

15 miles, in this town, is geographically undesirable

If I really felt it could work, then yeah sure I would. Kind of in such a situation now actually.

Though also had to end one cause of distance too recently, so can sort of go both ways.
