Out of sight is sometimes out of mind. <BR/><BR/>@ babawilly- I suppose time and distance will melt when one meets that "magical" person<BR/><BR/>@ refined one- thanks for those words. One will allow the other to breath but if you're breathing oxygen from different continents, it can be hard.<BR/><BR/>@ be silent- I know what you mean.

The lifespan of any relationship is with every second, couples need to build up on what keeps them together and should want a lot more of that.<BR/><BR/> I know cirsumstances happen and all but if it can be avoided then it's fine.My 2 centshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951849995134832993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743811.post-32093806466215306052007-09-05T06:03:00.000-07:002007-09-05T06:03:00.000-07:00I dont believe in long-distance relationships.

Unless the time apart, in total, is short.<BR/>Basically, if your partner, spouse, bf/gf is away for more than a couple months, I dont believe it's going to work.<BR/>Why? <BR/>Because people change, and people grow. It's best when you grow into each other. Then, there will be no question of I didnt know when He/She changed because both parties will be changing and growing together.<BR/>Off to blog about this...Atinuke A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17478664609565684381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743811.post-78870751836816602172007-09-04T10:26:00.000-07:002007-09-04T10:26:00.000-07:001.

Long distance relationships work when both parties are aware of and have made the commitment to stick it through all the kinks that come with such a situation. I will however disagree with you and second the notion that women are less susceptible to succumb to the claims of our physical needs. the average woman wants to be a matyr and so will keep up the struggle even if she knows her arse is being cheated on like there is no tomorrow.<BR/>Personally, for my sanity, it will take alot for me to allow that. We definitely have to have been in the relationship for a while for me be comfortable with an absence of any kind, which I must add must be punctuated with some visits of some kind. I either come to you or you return to me. Otherwise, I let you go so I can have peace of mind.Ms. Catwalqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506293561878301421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17743811.post-71045432046044083042007-09-04T07:19:00.000-07:002007-09-04T07:19:00.000-07:00Hmm i was once in a long distance relationship but...Hmm i was once in a long distance relationship but you get more frustrated as the day goes by.

A lot of the time one party is not honest with the other and has that relationship without exclusivity...
