Dyt: exactly!! is that the reason why you put LDR sucks on your YIM update shaking my head! [size=3pt] Heard her voice a couple of days back and had butterflies in my tummy, Although i tend to worry and think bout just one person despite im in one myself, but so far so good no cause for alarm cos she's been really living up to expectations, [/size] |

@OP, What I mean is there has got to be an understanding. Especially when it comes to finance. One partner cannot pretend the other is rich and can see them when THEY want to them to. If you cannot stomach being away from each other and keep your mind focused on the eventual goal of being united after taking care of individual issues then LDRs are not for you. But you HAVE GOT to be an understanding person. NEVER play games or bluff when in an argument because that makes the temptation to break it off or to cheat even easier to succumb to. People who can master LDRs are special people. I know a woman who waited for her guy for 16 years!! and they are still together only this time living with each other. There will be heartache and pain not to mention the arguments but if you have self discipline and are considerate to each other it will work. Gotta put God in it tho. I have been there and done that. So I know. |

done it before and it didnt work out at the end. it's very hard for a long distance relationship to succeed. |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by Nobody: 2:56am On May 28, 2011 |
sexylogan: my last LDR was between myself and a guy who lived in New York [I moved to the south]. It was crazy and the reason we broke up. But it lasted as long as it did because we were for as long as we could be patient and considerate. He paid for most of my travel expenses and I paid for his when he came. He understood my position and I his. Breaking it off was sooo hard and still hard to get over. We talk every once in a while but what happens is supposed to. |

The odds are not high. You have to work hard for it. It helps if you've established yourselves before separating. |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by MrsChima1(f): 3:03am On May 28, 2011 |
Too many fishes in the sea and unless we were TOGETHER before we have separated I would not engage in long distance relationships. Life is too short. Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by ShyOne(f): 3:15am On May 28, 2011 |
long distance relationships have a better chance at lasting if both are: emotionally mature have a full agenda (aren't sitting around with little to do but cry about why they aren't together) are financially stable (can visit, call often, can send gifts, etc.) long distance has a much better chance at working if you can communicate frequently - it's as though there isn't distance between you. If you are extremely young, immature, no finances, aren't settled with a decent amount of self esteem or self assurance and you are sitting around waiting for the phone to ring and you have no agenda to keep you busy. LONG DISTANCE WILL NEVER WORK FOR YOU. 1 Like |

Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by 677ano(m): 5:36am On May 28, 2011 |
it could work depends on those involved in it |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by 190: 7:55am On May 28, 2011 |
677ano: I'm not a fan of LDR except we were together before, Thats the only reason, even if >>> things still gotta be done Thank God anyways |

Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by ayomide202(f): 5:39pm On May 28, 2011 |
Shy-One:i agree and in addition for me iv learnt to tame myself from suggesting i'm suspicious i never sniff or try to find out if he's havin xtra affairs my mind is open cos from past experience i knw it puts a lot of stress on the relationship, though i love him so much n we r planning on life-long but if any mess up happens i will never end up in a psychiatric ward i understand its hard esp when u r in different country. It really works esp if u care less about s3x but it demands a lot of sacrifices and endurance i dont encourage it though cos, if i had my way i wouldnt be in the same mess |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by Orikinla(m): 8:56pm On May 28, 2011 |
For only those who are honest. |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by sexylogan(m): 9:58pm On May 28, 2011 |
Mrs, Chima: i think i did. too hard in fact. it just wasnt working for me. |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by MrsChima1(f): 10:29pm On May 28, 2011 |
sexylogan: Of course. Being away from someone you love or care about would be difficult for anyone and regardless how often you guys keep in touch it is not the same as being in short distance with each other. Anyone can pretend everything is good over the airwaves. |

OP. To be rational . . Distance relationship doesn't always work with Nigerian babes |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by sexylogan(m): 11:28pm On May 28, 2011 |
D-sense: ^^^Let's not start bashing our Nigerian baes here. the problem of long distance relationships is not peculiar to nigerian relationships. |
Re: Does Long Distance Relationships Realy Work? by 1honeybee: 11:28pm On May 28, 2011 |
I'm presently in a LDR and i can say its working alright. I believe its just like any other relationship. See how it goes first before making ur decision |
