Would all of our relationships work better if we saw each other less?

We all need our space otherwise we start getting in each other's nerves.  I agree with you except 2x a wk is  too little of a time to be together.  What about somewhere down the middle like 4x a wk spaced every other day?

No, it just puts them off for a later date.  Sometimes people THINK that it fixes problems because the two people remember their warm and fuzzy feelings for each other while they are apart.  They will then cover over or dismiss the problems and get back together.  Eventually though, the same problems will come up again, often worse because the suppressed feelings over the unresolved problem the first time will come up as well, causing the person to be even more upset, angry, etc.\n\nTalking and working through problems is the only way to solve them.

Not in my experience.  They might be better at the romance part of the relationship but better lovers?  Don't think so.

no and even if it was, do u really think that would stop people from loving one another?

Yes, as long as you two still communicate to each other some kind of way. Letting you know that your still apart of each others lives is important. If you two plan to eventually be together it can work, I've been doing it for about two years, we still see each other on most weekends (2 hours away) and make time for family things, but I will be moving soon to where he is. If you decide to do it it will be good test to see if he is the one and if you two are meant to be together, the test of time. Best of luck.

I don't know how much this will help you but my girlfriend and I met and started dating almost instantly...thinking back it all happened so quick but it was so natural that we never had any problems.  She lived about 30 minutes away from me and I was in college and worked so it was hard but honestly, I would come home from work and could expect to walk in the door and see her every day (she had a key).  Two months after we met we moved in together and have been living together ever since.  We talk and spend time together every day.  I can honestly say that we have not spent more than 10 days apart from each other since we met 8 months ago and it has been amazing!

Yes it works.\nDistance is not the end of the world in a relationship \nDistance cannot, and will not hurt a bond between two people that is based on mutual respect, trust, commitment, and love. \nAlthough you may feel like you are losing faith in your relationship at times, hold fast and trust your heart! \nI, like you, truly believe that love & relationships are what make your life special, and that ones built on love & understanding are always worth preserving, regardless of the miles that may separate two people. \n\n\nYOU ARE NOT ALONE ! \nAll across the world, there are couples just like you who are crazy about each other but are forced by circumstance to live apart..

Yeah, but you have to be sure to keep the relationships seperate. If they hurt one another you have to be able to be neutral amd not let either relationship suffer.

I would probably give it a bit more time.  Your still in that honeymoon stage where you haven't gotten to know each others bad habits all that well yet.  When you move in together then you have to live with those bad habits plus you have the added pressure of dealing with all the finances and living expectations that go with it.

NOpe. I don't think that could be an issue. Since you both also have separate personal lives. One thing I could advice though is to keep an open communication. Even if you don't see each other everyday, a call on the phone, a text message, a special delivery, an email could perk up the relationship. You could also think of other ways to keep it spicy. Sometimes being with each other every single day gets kinda boring and infact this will have a deeper negative impact in your relationship rather than giving each other enough personal space with the 3 days a week dates. :-) Hoep everything works well with you and your boyfriend. If you not having a car of your own repells him from you, then that means you don't deserve him. You are far more valuable than a car. If he loves you and you love him, you both will always find a way to see or even just communicate with each otehr everyday. Distance could also make you miss the person, and missing the person makes the times when your together sweeter coz you'll both cherish every moment. :_)

of course to both but this type of relationship is a positive for helping him to develop in life with out we would all be afraid of  change. If the relationship turns out good or bad either way it goes he will become a stronger person who will adapt to having better and more mature relationships with all types of people and I say this as in being able to work with others to make friends it is a part of growing live and learn...Learn from our mistakes so we don't make them again we wont have our parents with us forever so let life happen and see how he grows

Your right but there are some exceptions.  There are things often that you know you can't work through or differences that exist that aren't even things that involve working through.  You can try everything possible to make a relationship work but at some point no matter how much you love someone you have to be honest about if it is really a relationship that can work.

Of course. That is healthy. Some, like friendships, can be dropped if not healthy or they've been outgrown. Others, such as marriage, will take work to keep healthy instead of using it as an excuse to fall back into our own selfish habits or to selfishly say that we aren't "in love" and leave.

how well you get along in a relationship is all that matters

This is something i've asked myself a few times. I guess it depends on how often you get to see each other. I mean, if you can't see each other for years on end then no, i don't see how it can work. But if you see each other a few times a year, and keep in constant contact, and are always honest about what's goin on in your life, then yeah, sure it can work. i guess my big worry would be that the temptation to cheat would be higher and it would also be easier to cheat. I mean, it's understandable that someone gets lonely and wants a relationship with someone they can see whenever they want. \nThis answer's a bit all over the place but i hope it helps

If you guys live a long distance from each other, and still are able to see each other a few times a month...it's worth it.  It looks like 1or2 of you are attempting to make this relationship work by seeing each other.  Doesn't that mean anything?  The key to a long distance relationship is trust, communication, trust, and communication.:-)  Don't let the distance fool you into believing that it won't work.  You two keep doing what you're doing...it will work.
