She believes that long distance relationships can actually be very healthy for a relationship. "They allow the individual a chance to develop their own relationships and ambitions independently of a partner. They also create a longing for each other." However, in order for it to be successful, Sutherland advises that the couple has to have spent enough time together to have created a strong foundation in order to cope with the separation. "This will avoid any unrealistic idealization and expectations of partners."<br /><br />Though it's difficult it may really works. I guess that you and your boyfriend is not really meant for each other. I hope that I'm making a sense.african girlhttp://www.africadarlings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604012776235658819.post-65006734502457116012012-07-17T15:41:21.674-04:002012-07-17T15:41:21.674-04:00Thanks for weighing in!

After that, I wasn't enough for him and I'm sorry to say I will never do the long-distance thing again. It's too much effort when someone is just going to burn you in the long run.Exes&Whyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06024237997663288993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604012776235658819.post-15334436069038088902012-07-10T19:46:39.697-04:002012-07-10T19:46:39.697-04:00It's perfectly natural.

I have no girlfriend in the romantic sense of the term, but I do have a "girl-friend" that I care about very much. I haven't seen her for over three years and I really miss her. As I see it there are three types of long distance relationships: ones that concern geographic distance and ones that concern temporal distances (long time, no see). The third type is a combination of the two and that seems to be very common. I can sympathize and I hope you will be true to your bf. That way your reunion will be that much more precious.filipinohttp://www.filipinotodate.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604012776235658819.post-73687448900507179732011-11-18T12:28:27.778-05:002011-11-18T12:28:27.778-05:00Thank you for putting this in perspective for me! ...Thank you for putting this in perspective for me!

But there are up-sides to distance relationships - the fact that you are BOTH putting time in to TRY says a lot about how you feel about each other. The fact that you are forced to TALK (instead of maybe just making out) will help you lay a strong foundation for when you can see each other. I have done a lot of long distance things, and yes, eventually you will have to SEE each other, but despite how frustrating it is now, there are some benefits. :) ~ErickaFireWithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573632531554787073noreply@blogger.com
