Long Distance Relationships
*Note: My goal for this is a general topic discussion, not an advice thread.
I won't be afraid to admit, I'm no stranger to long-distance relationships. Been there, done it, still sucks, that type of thing. Some works, some were just bittersweet memories in the end. I've come to discover that being in love from a difference has a lot of variance from person to person, relationship to relationship. For example, a relationship starting when you were still a teenager in college when you _just_ started dating each other after Sadie Hawkins in your senior year of high school and you went to college in a completely different state--is obviously going to differ drastically from when you're 25, you've been dating the person for few years, maybe even thinking about getting married but the job pulls you apart. Yeah, yeah, very specific examples at very different maturity levels, I know. But you get the gist of the example I put there. *points to above hideous paragraph* So, if you've been (or are) in one, what are/were your thoughts, what did you learn, and how do/did you deal with it. my experiences:
p.s., shameless plug:

Put Balls, glad you're happier.
I think there's a difinitive difference between finding someone online (or someone you met at some exchange where you knew your time together was temporary) as opposed to someone you've been in a long-term relationship previously before the distance settled in. As for me, I'm still in the same Situation I was before, with a few improvements: - FaceTime has been a godsend. - We've gotten into the routine of spending at least a few hours over the week / weekends on FaceTime and doing some Simul-watch (inspired by Tails and Acer, thank you guys!) to have some common activity to do together - with that, we have been communicating more often via KakaoTalk (free texting service; helps with the international LDR thing) The downs are more related to my personal issues (inside my head and more career woes than can sink a ship). There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
