I did the LDR for almost two years, was wonderful getting to know the person, without the sex in the way, then that was just the cherry on top when you do get to be together. ;p It is a hard one to do, when you want more, or time schedules conflict. Even if you do trust that person beyond measure, you always wonder if it just gets too hard for them, that someone else that is closer/more convenient comes along. I don’t regret my LDR, but I do miss my best friend. LDR are a catch 22, during the wonderful parts of it, and after a breakup. Can be a blessing and a major heartbreakup intenified more than necessary. That double-edged sword will get you everytime. I don’t think I want to roll that route again though anytime soon.

Long distance relationships aren’t for everyone and it seems as though your guy couldn’t handle the challenge. Perhaps he just wanted/needed more of you to fulfill his idea of a REAL-ationship.

Eh, I might do long distance, if it was an open relationship. I couldn’t just be with that one man if he was many states away… Plus you have to be able to afford long distances, those get expensive.
.
I’d love the comfort of having someone in your life, but the freedom to do what you want. I’ve had some slightly long distance relationships and the guy would call all the time. He would want to know where I was, but then he’d complain when he came to my state about how expensive it was…

I dunno I like my relationships (real relationships) to be close.

Yes yes - La la is way different. I can drive an hour or so and be in Shitsville, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island or New Hampshire. Not as exciting territory, and doubtful I will get cell reception in any of the above places.

I suppose living in LaLa Land makes us impervious to traffic. An hour drive is nothing…even at midnight when you’re pissed off ’cause he did something stupid. Hypothetically of course.

I don’t think it’s choice so much as a preference for Ms. Cass

Plus - what if you get there and the weekend doesn’t work out - then you are stuck with an hour plus drive home?? No way.
I had a boyfriend years ago that lived 1 and 1/2 hours north, and instead of dealing with his entourage all weekend I left early and stayed in a hotel rather than drive home in Holiday Traffic.
