I've been in a couple and I can't do them. I turn into someone I don't like. That's why I made Andy put a ring on my finger so soon, so I could move to this shit hole of a small town, but at least have an awesome and healthy relationship in it. I would have fucked it up if I didn't move, so I knew I had to.
I feel the same way. I was thinking the other day of why I'd do something like you did, plan a wedding and then kind of just get married because planning to commit to each other would drive me nuts.
Hmm , well people travel all over the world re career , hobbies and families and shit. So ,if its genuinely say a one in a million type of thing , then logically I'd say it makes sense. Yeah the travel and distance is a pain up the arse , but no less than say going out with someone u arent that buzzing about. The worst thing I'd say would be wondering about "what might have been" Overall with long distance , I'd say give it a go , if u feel like u *have to*...
In regards to LDR.... Just be careful of those Turkish guys, ladies. Each week they get a (new) starry eyed Westerner coming over to vacation. Each week they "love" someone else. It is usually a dude working at a hotel. They have a real racket going on and fool a lot of naive girls with dreams of a dark skinned lovers. But as soon as the girl leaves the guy never contacts her and she ends up broken hearted while the guy has a new tourist/(flavor of the week). I have heard this story a few times. They fill your head with a lot of crap to get in your pants and they will "love" you (for the duration of your stay.)
Yah, it works. On the flipside I have talked to a few smarties who avoid sad stories like that. Some Moroccans go to Italy and pose as Italians to get in the pants of dumb drunken Americans at bars who want Italian lovers too.
I've been in about 3 long distance relationships. One the girl lives in Canada. One with the girl lives in New York. One the girl lives in Australia. That one was really long distance!
