Long-Distance Relationships

[Martin]

Boyah:

As very few of you know, I'm departing my home here in Missouri and am traveling to the wondrous city of Orlando, Florida to attend Full Sail University and, while I do find my hometown incredibly dull, the idea of leaving my friends behind has been quite the emotional shock to me, as it would be for anyone. This, of course, is dwarfed in comparison to the stress I am going through with my girlfriend, whose name I will surrender to you. Megan is a lovely girl who is admittedly two years my junior (sixteen compared to my eighteen), and is one of the few women who my attraction toward is not for the purpose of satiating my embarrassing, subconscious need for emotional abuse, and has somehow survived my cynical standards of what I consider a good girlfriend (and a good person, for that matter).

Also, I recognize the fact that she is not the only girl of her kind, and I'm not going to pretend that we are match-made in heaven, and that there's no possibility we will go our separate ways, but I think it's reasonable to want to stay with her, even at the cost of new ass, if I'm so god-damned happy with her.

I come to you asking for advice on how to maintain a long-distance relationship. I'd appreciate no one mentioning however unlikely it is to last, not only because it's useless fucking information, but because I already understand that life will not always go the way I want it to so, never mind, it is only because it's useless information.

Thanks in advance,

Damon

patience, loyalty, effort, and ingenuity = love, even at a distance. if there is already sufficient mutual affection and consideration, then you've got very little to worry about. beyond this you can only hope for the best.

Suggestion: make tangible things with her. Record you two singing and banging on drums together, draw or paint something really dumb together, take a lot of pictures and print them out. Things that you can hold in your hand and remember her by, that can prompt all of the wonderful things that socks is talking about.

make a mold of her vagina and put it in a flashlight for when you get lonely

I always figured that long-distance relationships never worked for more than 2 years at most. Good luck. Also, make new friends.

I've been in a couple long distance relationships now and they've always sucked... you too would have to trust each other and be very understanding to make it work otherwise miscommunication will kill everything. I don't know that a 16 year old girl is going to be ready for a long distance thing either since she's still wrapped up in high school

Steal her and take her with you to school.

Well, you have already admitted that she is not the only girl of her kind... so that should automatically make you question whether SHE is worth it,  never mind if your happiness with her.  LDRs take a toll on your mental health, so you need be absolutely, unequivocally sure that it will be worth your while to make the sacrifices that will NEED to be made.  If you honestly don't see a legitimate future with this girl, then why put yourself through the additional stresses of a long distance relationship?  Your primary focus should be school/furthering your progress towards the career you desire and you will constantly need to maintain the delicate balance between focusing on what's best for you and focusing on what's best for the relationship.  It can quickly become an extremely combustible situation if your dedication wavers for even a second.

I'll only be gone for two years.

I'm very committed to this, and I believe she is very worth it. I say she is not the only girl of her kind because I think that's incredibly unrealistic to think that anyone anybody cares about is perfectly unique; I, at least, have yet to meet anyone like her. Furthermore, even I was surprised to find out how dedicated she is to this idea. The only problem I may have with her is something contrary to what I initially feared.

Do you really think a 16 year old girl who is going to go to parties without her boyfriend, prom--probably without him, and pretty much finish half of high school without him around will handle that properly?

Perfectly mature adults, like RTD said, have a problem with this and its toll on mental health is something a 16 year old girl--generally an already insecure, unstable demographic--will almost certainly not be able to handle. Unless she is one of the most mature fucking 16 year old girls in the world I honestly believe that this won't work for very long. Even a year would be pushing my expectations.

I'm trying to save you trouble bro, no need to get pissy.


edit: The whole "Furthermore, even I was surprised to find out how dedicated she is to this idea. " may just be part of that whole "omg look how mature and romantic i am" thing that 16 year old girls enjoy

The reason I'm pissy is because I specifically said I'd appreciate no one telling me how this is doomed to failure, as if I hadn't already fucking considered the possibility of failure. It's a useless thing to say that isn't constructive nor even remotely insightful, and is the first response any half-witted cunt will have when any mention of "long-distance relationship" comes up. "hur hur she gon cheat on you dawg, nawm sayin?"

So you only want posts which contribute to a confirmation bias?
