Were you ever in a long-distance relationship that worked?

Post Reply New Topic

i hares quite a vent been in one but theres quite a bit of ones that have worked right here on wp

moving in together, those first 3 weeks were horrible. it was a huge adjustment. I wonder if there are some books that discusses it. would have helped me prepare for it mentally.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Hell no.

The girl is really shy though. Like we've been chatting over the phone every couple of weeks, but I generally lead most of the discussion. I've tried using SMS more regularly to play trivia games to keep things exciting, but that's not working either

LDR? REALLY? If there's no p**** licking or kissing then it is NOT a relationship. I licked a girls a**hole two weeks ago, now THAT was a relationship!

yes, but lack of those things is indicative of a sh***y pointless relationship that sucks

I have been in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend for 5 years now. He lives 2 hours away from me and we see eachother on quite a regular basis, that being every month for either a weekend, a week or two weeks depending on our schedules with college and university. It's true long-distance relationships work more slowly than close proximity relationships. In my long-distance relationship, I have noticed we both still get that excitement of seeing eachother, which is a nice feeling that won't wear off until we start living together. I think that they can definately work, it just takes perserverance, trust, commitment and communication on both sides to keep it alive.

When my friend came back from travelling overseas and shared his experience with me about what he noticed in a couple that he admired. His then gf's parents happen to be married, but they live apart for few days and live together for a bit more than a few days. So when they are together they do appreciate each other's company. Not irritated with each other at all. But why do I have to fool myself like that, will it even work on someone like me.

I have my doubts. I wish I can predict what my emotions are going to be, but I only know how I feel now. We're very interested in each other at the moment, but I'm just not sure how long those feelings are going to last if we can't physically see each other. What's really great about him is that he's also an aspie, so we can understand each other and there's no "lost in translation" snafus to sort out. All the posts here have given me hope. What I think I'm going to do is clear out 1 or 2 days to go see him. He just visited me for a few days, so it's only fair that I put in the same amount of effort to make this thing work.

I was for 3 years, with another Aspie. It didn't work out because we weren't compatible as we thought.

Long-distances aren't my first choice, but trying to find a hypersexual, Christian Aspie, who likes to travel, wants kids, and lives in the Houston, Texas area, is nearly impossible.

Barrin the sexual thing, just finding a aspie here in fla, much less a christain one,, who has same interests and is willing to do the seperare residences thing,, is near impossible... I have been involved in NT dating sites for 7 years,, Very few long distance relationships work out UNLESS one is willing to relocate fairly early in the relationship,, thats my obsevation. But these are NT sites and our situation is different.

The prevalence of Autism seems to be greater in the higher latitudes. I wonder how the rates in Florida compare to the rates in places like Maine.

My interests include animated sitcoms and foreign/indie films (I have tons of other interests, but I feel there is a correlation between those interests and a partner's sexuality). That correlation is based on the fact that both those interests and my sexual preferences have been frequently decried by most of the televangelists. As a result, I developed my philosophy of "If the televangelists say it's bad, it must be good"

However, I get shut out by Christians because of my interests/sexual preferences, and I get shut out by people with my interests/sexual preferences because of my religious and political beliefs (I am a Republican, pro-life, and pro-traditional marriage). So I am in a major catch-22 here.

And exactly what do you mean by "traditional" marriage? The term "tradition" means many things to many people, depending on how far back you're going in time and what culture you were raised in.

I don't support same-sex marriage (but civil unions are ok).

Ahah. I think we just figured out why you have a problem. People get married because they love each other. Once you come to understand that, you'll start removing many of these nonsense barriers that you've created for yourself.
