long distance relationships--(college focused)?

Post Reply New Topic

A good idea or a bad idea? My NT best friend was pretty much set on getting married to this one girl. He went to my school while she went about 3 hours away. He broke up with her as people said she was sleeping around.

It's a crappy example but I've been going back and forth whether this can work out. I have more examples than that but I've heard of really one time where a couple that went to separate schools actually worked out. I think there's a better chance that aspies could make it work but with the other an NT it concerns me.

I'm having a situation as I asked to meet a girl, she hasn't replied yet (been 3 days, hasn't been on OKC since an hour after she read my message), I didn't really think about how I can make this work as I rarely go home (once a semester). If you were in my shoes, would location be too big of a factor(about 2.5 hours)?

I would have posted this in the college forum but I think this is more relative to here.

My husband and I were in a long distance relationship for 7 months before I moved to be with him. It's hard, but it can work. 2.5 hours is also not so far away that y'all couldn't see each other once or twice a month.

As long as you are honest with yourselves and can make something happen soon. If you just want the emotional closeness they'll just leave you, sometimes without saying anything so you worry that they're dead.
