I just got a new job and recently moved out here. we decided that we could make the distance work. It's only like 4 some hours away. things at first were pretty good, but as time went on things just got bad. not calling me back, txts, nothing really. I'd be lucky if he called or got back to me within the week. it was usually just sorry i've been busy. he finally called me back and told me that it was becoming to hard and that he's been seeing someone else. this has been such a hard time. trying to make new friends and a new life, and he has to go and be an ass 2 to me. who actually things distance can work.

Yes, you're right about that. It is only possible for a period of time. I seriously think it would be too unbearable to hold on to a long distance relationship for an indefinite time.

I would say it's possible in a limited capacity, but only if there is an end in sight, as it were. Indefinitely maintaining a long distance relationship is just impractical, I mean, how is that even a relationship? How are you even "together"?

I have been doing that for almost 6 months actually. True, it's getting harder and harder, but I know what i'm fighting for. I would probably lose my mind if i didn't know i'll see her soon. It's hard and lonely, but it's possible if you really want it.

Above = naïveté. That sounds great in theory, but try actually doing it for a year or so, and see how lonely it makes you.

Distance relationships can work, no matter what age you are. It's all about trust and really how much you care and are willing to fight for herhim. However, it is very true that it gets lonely many times, so it won't be bearable for too long, thus you need to set a plan to change things and be together somehow and hold on until that happens. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out for you Jennifer, but don't give up. There are men who would hold on to you, no matter where you are if they really love you.

I would say age is a factor here, but as a general rule, if your sex drive is still kicking, physical contact = very important, so I think long distance relationships can't work, unless you've already been friends for a long time and it's an open relationship. So basically FWB.
