Would you?

[xnavylovex118]

Oh my. My husband and I actually talked about this the other night on the phone. I have to say, it was one of the sweetest conversations we've had in a good while. Weird, I know. But, he put it in the most perfect way of describing how worth all the distance is.

"You know that feeling when you're playing black jack? The gut feeling when you know you just have to go for it, no matter the risk? It's like, you have a queen and a 7, and all you need is a four to win. And the dealer has 20. So you have the dealer, deal. And that card is the exact card you need. And you win the jackpot. You, baby, are my jackpot. I would rather take that risk, and be with you, than to ever throw us away."

I have to say, that is best way I have ever thought of looking at an LDR. :]

[krabuzh]

No and will never though my SO already thought about it and already did. :P
But well, I'm not willing to give up until I've tried my best and I know even if it didn't work out at least I've tried my best.
So yeah, let's see what happen till we meet each other in person next April 2012.
Hopefully I could steal his heart away.

[bluishskin]

Not at the moment and hopefully I will never have to.

Would lie if I said I had never considered giving up on our relationship. We especially had a very hard time around a year ago, where we both discussed the option of a break or even a break up. It never went that far though, since breaking up would be far more painful than continuing.

Now I would not consider ending it. We're married and there's a lot of things to look forward to in the future. (finally living together, children etc.)

I would have ended my LDR for the same reasons I would end any other relationship... if there had been infedelity, not being compatible, being mistreated ect. None of those things were a factor in my relationship

I definitely wouldn't have done long distance with just anyone though... he was more than worth it, but I would never, EVER do it again. Sucked too much.

[kteire]

I haven't had any thoughts of giving up on my LDR. There was a period of a week or two when we had just become LD that I panicked quite a bit about how on earth it would work out, and was convinced we'd drift apart and grow sick of each other. That passed, and now I'm quite convinced it would take our relationship having major issues to make me think about ending it. Fortunately, we rarely even have minor issues, and I can't imagine either of us giving up on what we have!

There were moments when I was really. really done and in a lot of pain when I thought 'Why am I doing that to myself' well, obviously because it was him, because, I loved him more than I ever loved a person. Because he loved me more than I could imagine sb would ever love me. I knew too that not having him would be so much worse. Just having him, even though he is not with me, is so much better, oh yeah, SO much better than not having him. So I'm strong for him, for us.

[solarkissed]

I think about it all the time. All the time meaning maybe once a week or every other week. Not because he's a horrible person and I don't want to spend the rest of my life with him, but rather because I question my own ability to handle the hurdles of a long distance relationship. I can be pretty impulsive...doing things and saying things I really don't mean...just because I'm scared, it's some sort of defense mechanism. He and I have talked about this and he knows I'm this way...and that I'm working on it. I'm so, so, sooo grateful he's so patient with me. And loves me. He's always so positive and reassuring. If he ever thinks about it, he never admits it. I don't think I could have a LD relationship with anyone else but him.

[kiti28]

I could never give up on my SO,cause man like him I was waiting for 15 years and I can't find any good reason to stop this true and unconditional love between us. There has been and still are times when I break down and cry but who hasn't? It's not easy but every tear is worth it.because I know once we deal with distance we will enjoy our lives together forever untill death do us part. After we have done this-being apart from the loved ones for so long- nothing is impossible.We get so strong that no one and nothing can break us down

[heylittlekrissy]

I answered this before and don't remember what my answer was, but after having my LDR end, I realize no matter how many times I considered ending it because I thought the distance is too much, well, it's much harder being without him.
So if we do get back together (and *fingers crossed*, here's to hoping we will!), I wouldn't even let the thought cross my mind ever again.

[Yaaamiii]

I would never. But I do hate being LD because it's just so frustrating and can be exhausting. But there are just some things worth fighting for. :P

[Zapookie]

No. I wouldn't. I did in the very early stages, before we had even planned to meet (just to save myself from being hurt again), but he has proven to me that he thinks I am worth it, and has shown me that he loves me. What we share is something I feel so very lucky to have and I would never ever consider ending it just because of the distance. He means too much to me and our love is greater than some silly number.

[squirrelz15]

I knew entering the relationship that it would be long distance. And when he first asked me, I told him I needed time to think about it because I wasn't sure I could handle the distance. In the end, I obviously decided I'd regret not giving him a shot and enduring the distance for the sake of the relationship. That said, I don't think I'd break up with him over distance. If something else was the cause then that would be another story.

[Malaga]

I don't know tbh. Just because of the distance and the problems it brings? - no, I wouldn't. But it would be unacceptable for me to be in this same position a few years from now, ie not being at least close to closing the distance. I believe relationships have moments when you have to upgrade or let it go. And if you stall the upgrade for too long, it's inevitably going to spiral downwards. In that case, I'd rather cut my losses than pursue something with no future.

[Babypuppy21]

I’d be a liar if I never thought of ending it..not because we were going through problems or anything but the distance does get really difficult to bear sometimes. In saying that as we’ve come this far I can’t imagine my life without him so it’s not an option at the moment. Of course that isn’t in stone and shit happens but in the main..NOPE
