Is long distance worth it?

0

My boyfriend and I dated through senior year, met on retreat, and have decided to spend the rest of our lives together after college. The distance has been tough especially because he is playing a two-season sport at his university. We are 7 hours away.

If y'all really do love each other then distance won't matter. Yes it's going to be hard but if it's meant to be then it will work. My boyfriend lives 8 hours away from me and we've made long distance work for 2 years now. Just hang in there!

sadly long distance rarely works, but if both people love each other and are devoted it is worth a shot. It takes a lot of trust and honesty about everything. wishing you the best of luck

I think that it's worth the effort.

If it doesn't work out, then you still walk away having had the experience.

And if it does work out, then hey, awesome!

Granted, long distance relationships aren't suited for everyone.

A big part of it depends on our attachment style.
That is, the amount of distress and anxiety that we feel, when we are separated from our partners.

A good way of finding out if it would work for you is to try it yourself.

Long distance relationships can work. You have to be prepared for it though. It is tough. You can def feel the strain from time to time, feel annoyed, bothered easily, and the fact that they are not around doesn't help.
However, you guys are still fairly close and making trips to see each other or at least meeting half way is def a constant possibility for you guys. If this is something that you both really want than you will both find a way to spend time with each other. You will make the time to talk. Honesty will be the biggest factor in it as well.
Be open and don't lose that communication. I'm on 2 1/2 years with someone who lives states away. He visits often and I personally hate talking on the phone, but we text and game a lot. He always tells me when he goes out, as do I for him. I tell him when something bothers me and he's pretty free spirited so mostly it's just me nagging, but he's there for me. The distance sucks so from a money stand point we wait as long as we can in between visits, but really you guys just have to want it. It's hard, but I envy how close you guys are. No regrets, give it a shot =]

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 4 years soon, 3/4 of those years have been spent in a long distance relationship. Of course it can work! But its hard and you need to have patience with each other. The amount of times me and my boyfriend have had to deal with each other being frustrated by the distance is unreal. We've had some serious arguments. But at the end of the day if its to be, it will be. If something is causing you more sadness than it is happiness, then maybe its best to let it go and focus on you for a while. Who knows, you could still get back together after college?
