Long Distance relationship.. Really that difficult?

[Peep Game]

Man, a 30 min drive is far enough for me

That's what I gradually learned. After awhile, 6 hour drives just to see somebody for 3-4 days starts to be a burden instead of excitement and anticipating. It became a job more than anything.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Easily doable. If you (and her) think it's worth it, things will work out.

You make it sound so simple. They can think it is worth it and it can fail.

Hell, anybody that tried AND failed probably thought it was worth it.

 

[Sir San Diego]

Why though?

There are women in every city.

 

[combo gd]

It is doable, but highly unlikely to work out.

How far is DC and NY?

My main yamb is 2 hours away...

I think that the perfect distance is 45 minutes travel time

 

[iheartboost]

Yes.

Did it, we hated it. She ended it.

Did it again (another realationship), hated it. We moved in with each other a few years ago. Now im tired of seeing her all the damn time

This. I was seeing this chick that was 45 minutes away for a minute. That got old fast. I only want local ladies.

Damn, any of yall live in NYC? A ride from the Bronx to Brooklyn or Queens is already 45 mins

Yeah sw and jetblue are cash. Fly out of SNA or LB.

 

[teamjordan79]

past like 40-50 years old, i want all my relationships to be long distance. A chick in every city that i visit.

Long distance international relationships are underrated IMO

Define "works" though?

 

[Mark Antony]

There are women in every city.

I think folk are simplifying this too much. In general? naw, skip it. But if this is the woman you intend to spend the rest of your life with? go for it.

You can try to master the art of that far away love.. but only so much can keep a woman warm.

We've been living in a cold, cold world.

 

[sportsjunkie]

DC to NY. Very cool chick, probably an 8/10. You all could see each other every weekend if you wanted to(bus up, bus down).

Could you do it? And for how long if so. Both of your careers are keeping you in your respective areas for the foreseeable future.

DC to NY isnt bad at all. Because they can see each other every weekend.

I'm doing this right now. It's not bad at all. I'm in DC she's in NY. Lives in NYC but goes to school upstate near my parents home so I visit them if she's busy or something. Don't see eachother for two weeks or so but when we do we spend a whole weekend or more together without any distractions. Just time for us to be together and enjoy ourselves which is nice. When we are apart we still talk every day but I can focus on myself, career, gym, and save money. I actually prefer it this way at this point in my life. Nice change of pace after just getting out of a two year relationship where I saw the girl almost every day.
