Does Distance Really Matter At All? by lutha: 5:50pm On Apr 28, 2011
It has once been said that if there is love and understanding between the lovers that distance does not matter, but have seen brake-ups caused as a result of distance even in a loving and understanding relationship. Kindly give your reasonable opinion please.

OP.

It doesn't matter . . .Seriousness matters.

It depends on the people involved. Some people can have a distance relationship and do well, others cant. II personally cannot survive in such a relationship

That's life o. Some people can handle it; some people can't. It depends on the couple's willpower.

With constant communication it makes it easier
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by Clemcoco: 5:03am On Apr 29, 2011
If both parties are "seriously" committed to making the relationship work, then distance will not really matter.
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by Nekai(f): 5:18am On Apr 29, 2011
Distance is ok if you already have a firm foundation together before the separation.
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by esteduca(m): 6:23am On Apr 29, 2011
I think exactly as Nekai.
Unfortunately my experience with distance relation was nightmare.

It's a very tough question to answer if the relationship will work out, it really depends on the couple if they planned to work hard or give up easily. Yes! It's not as easy as anyone thinks,  struggles with culture, time difference and the list goes on. Occasional arguments are unavoidable due to misunderstanding, communication breakdown, trust etc.

I truly understand the difficulty and hardship as I am in a long distance relationship with a wonderful naija man for almost 11 months now. I can't deny we have ups and down or several times when things gets tough,  I wanna quit. We would discuss about giving it up but somehow we cant and still managed to stay together. Hopefully things will work out when he move closer to my country so we can start seeing each other regularly.

As to how the ending of distance relationship will be,  nobody knows,  but if we walk away now we might lose our soulmate without realising. At least we put in effort tried our best with no regrets.  wink

Some of the factors are;
1. Age
2. Time difference
3. Culture
4. Understanding
5. Tolerance
6. Communication
7. Individual Character
8. Sincerity
9. Honesty
10. Jealousy
11. Trust
12. Emotional
13. Patience
14. Fidelity
15. Effort

Basically long distance does hinder but do close distance relationship work out all the time? No! So what if we are just 500 meters away, sees each other daily but neither party wants to work at it will the relationship flourish?

It's still the human factor afterall to achieve success or fail.  tongue
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by alagha: 2:57pm On Apr 29, 2011
distance has nothing to do with LOVE,however it does contribute to certain level of decision taking periods.
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by sylve11: 3:40pm On Apr 29, 2011
one thing i hate about distance relationship is that the babe might just call u on phone to tell u she had with jonhson. with stammering voice at that . . . really annoying angry. Of all chicks i have come across distance isn't really favoring me. Staying in kaduna while she's in Warri, can be disastrous, if u know what i mean. cool
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by Dukewawa(m): 9:54pm On Apr 29, 2011
Keeping a relationship alive across the miles is no easy task…….so I advise my people before taken any step into long distance relationship always make sure that your ready to face the consequences.
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by andy1(m): 10:04pm On Apr 29, 2011
jst as BABE said distance is a B1TCH!! Can drive u mad cos u dnt get to see her feel her be intimate with her nd all. So i aint down 4 it.

Out of sight, in most cases, eventually becomes out of mind.
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by Phate07(m): 12:01am On Apr 30, 2011

To some extent, it does matter.
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by BloodShed1: 12:06am On Apr 30, 2011
Long distance relationships only work when you're banging other people.
Re: Does Distance Really Matter At All? by Orton10(m): 12:32am On Apr 30, 2011
