    Default How far is to far?

    for a relationship to work

    I'm just curious cause I was talking to my friend and she thinks an hour away is to far for a relationship to work where I don't think an hour is that far at all

    How do you all feel about it

    Of course I own this.

    I'd say that 2-3 hours away is about the limit. Sure there are some couples that last at that distance and further away, but for most that would break the relationship

    In that question, I think:

    It doesn't matter how far apart you are, it matters how often you would see each other. If you want it to work out, then I'm sure you both would be more then willing to travel anywhere just to see each other. Sadly to the human mind, if you never get to see the other person you like, we start to think the "what if" concept.. What if I was to find someone else, What if it never works out, etc.. I say if you speak as little as everyother day and see each other atleast every other week, then if willing it would work perfectly. We all just need that lil recharge every once in a while to keep the flame lit.

    i just have one thing to say....


    but seriously... when i first started dating my now ex gf we were in high school together.... i went off to college while she was a senior. we had already been dating for 3 years by the time this happened so our relationship was pretty strong. i was about 90minutes away from her so it made it difficult but it still worked... sort of. ultimately me being so far away ultimately killed our realtionship. she ended up cheating on me and now she is amrrying the douche bag and they havent even been together a year...

    i can see how trying to start and have a relationship grow from the beginning living so far away could present a challenge

    i also had a realtionship with a girl in oregon... she was supposed to be moving here but it turns out she was a psychopath and made up some shit like "i was carjacked and raped while trying to get there" or "i collapsed from something and had to goto the hosptial" etrc etc...

    just make sure she isnt a crazy bitch

    You wanna know whats the sad part about this? When I learned that bout "too" It was seriously from a teacher. When I started taking College Prep classes, they never mentioned the difference because we were supposed to have learned this already. Funny thing is, that teacher got fired my sophmore year.

    Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about it. If its going to happen if your both into it, it'll happen. If not well then that out come is obvious. I say just ride it out as it goes, dont push the issue to much. My girl I had been with had it all set up to where I was about to move to Oklahoma with her and work at her uncles factory for 25 bucks an hour to start. When before she was supposed to come down here at the end of her sr. year this summer. Some shit went on in PA where she had to go to Oklahoma.

    I been dealing with the long distance shitt for a couple months now. It just went sour and i'm on my damned own haha!!

    Just dont push it, let it ride.

    yea basically. i would say dont rush into things if you've both been hurt. just take things slow and eventually things will happen as they are supposed to.
    P.S. she's perfect

    I don’t think the actual distance in hours or miles is what matters... more of how often you see each other, or how strong the bond in the relationship is..... Plenty of people in the military are many miles away from there gf/bf or wives/husbands for months at a time some work out some don’t. It’s the way in which the relationship is cherished by both sides that matters. If u have a person that truly wants to be with you no matter what then there will be no boundaries. But if u are with a person who is not completely devoted into the relationship, then, small stuff such as time apart, will start to take its toll on the relationship... I'm not saying that it is easy by any means but sometimes more than others being in a REAL relationship is a lot of work....
    Either way g/l....

    Man to be honest dont worry wat other people say just let things take there course. Me and my girl have been together for 2 years since the 19 of this month and 1 of those years has been wit distance. She is back in miami and im here in GA but we make it work, we also try to see each other every other month. We have had bad times and a lot of good times but thats wit any relationship weather it's long distance or not. People always ask me "do u think she is cheating or would cheat on u"? To be honest i dont think she would but i always keep it in the back of mind, but i dont let it consume my mind either. I say just to let things take there course and dont try to force anything.

    I couldn't keep a 1hr away relationship going. I have better things to do other than sitting on the phone 24/7, and driving an hour+ to see her. You just start to realize that it really isn't worth the time... I'd have to say that 30 mins would be my max.

    That... and I put around 2k miles on my car in a month. That shit gets old real quick.

    Yeah... one hour isnt shit when you're driving 7 hours a lot. Kind of a short trip. I really don't drive far for anything though.. I'm 1/2 mile from work. I put 7k miles on my car in a year.. and I took it to daytona and panama and myrtle beach. So I did a couple trips

    But she's a pretty girl, so I'd probably make an exception.

    My girl stays in Marietta and i stay in Norcross. We've been together for almost 3 years now. It takes me 45 minutes to get there driving the limit. During traffic hours, the longest time it took me from here to there was 2 1/2 hours! But we're still going good and strong. What sucks is stuck in traffic in 90+ degree weather with no A/C....sweating your balls off....then add ther other car's exhaust and egine heat....then make it i had a black car....then add that i sometimes constipate while stuck in bumper to bumper traffic all the way in the left lane.....ugh!
