I would say 2 years should be the max. Anything more and it's just not a real relationship. Or better said the people in the relationship don't actually want to be with the other, as in live together. I couldn't fathom not being able to get together after 2 years someone should be able to move. Whats first love or everything else? I choose love.
Plus I would probably go crazy from anxiousness and doubt. I guess I need a hug and a kiss etc, on a regular basis so that I can feel that things are ok. I need contact and most people do.
I'll never understand people's insistence to impose their own beliefs on other couples. What works - or doesn't work - for you is not necessarily what works or doesn't work for everyone else.
Yea, LDR are totally unnatural as they are only kept alive through artificial means like cell phones, skype and the internet. The moment that technology fails so will the relationship.
Well, unless the end of the world occurs, I find it hard to believe our internet and phones would fail permanently all at the same time. I can assure you there was nothing "unnatural" about our LDR - for crying out loud, we're married now! lol, obviously something worked and you cynical people can argue all you want, it doesn't change the facts of our relationship.
not asking about if the LD relationship works. a guy could be f***ing around and the relationship can still work. let's stick to the topic please aha. i do agree that everyone has their own needs, but I'm definitely a creature of contact too... but not to the point to go cheat... but i'm a girl too. so who knows. like some of you said, i guess you just gotta take the plunge and have faith in someone.

Different strokes for different folks, but it still stands that if you can't get together after 2 years its because you don't want to.
It's not "working" if one of them wants to meet and one of them is putting it off. Especially for a long time, like 2 years.
I don't think we're talking about 2 years without meeting, we're talking about 2 years until the long distance comes to an end and the couple reside locally. It sounds like you're talking about an internet relationship where the couple have not yet meet in person... that's not what this topic is about.
