Have you ever been involved in a long-distance relationship?

Yes
We got married

Yes, once a long time ago I met a woman online (kind of by chance)... she was living in Hawaii.

We chatted back and forth for a couple of weeks, and all of a sudden, she said she wanted to come see me.

She did, and it was the most amazing and most unexpected thing I ever experienced.

She stayed a month, we made plans for her to move, and off she went.

A bit over a year later she died from breast cancer...

Yes - we both had jobs that regularly took us abroad to different places. Sadly he died in an accident a couple of months before we were to be married☹

Yes. He lied - I was just convenient. I'll never get over it.

I was for a while with a woman from Wichita, Kansas. It fizzled due to differences of opinions.

Yes.

Almost 3 years of long distance, but we saw each other once or twice every month, and spent summers together. And had a realistic plan to end the distance, which we did when she moved in with me. We were married for 7 years. We are divorced now.

I think many people misunderstand long distance relationships these days. Unless you have a realistic plan to end the distance, it won’t last.

The ones who try to have purely online / over the phone relationships with no realistic plan to ever even meet each other are even more ridiculous. Humans simply don’t work that way.

I met a girl in Hawaii, we had fun for about a week, then she went home to Illinois and I back to western Canada. We sent emails back and forth but really, aside from some minor local interests, there really was no point to it and it finally ended.
If you are willing to commit, you have to fly there and do that. Watch out for scammers too, I have heard of lots of "relationships" getting to the point where she is going to fly to you, and you send her money for the ticket, then you never hear from her again.

Yes I've actually had one before for almost 6 years. And believe it or not it was with an SW user

Yep...

I was living on one of the outlying Hawaiian Islands for a year's contract and she was living on an Island off the East Coast of Canada.

It was before the days of cell phones, and we communicated by sending cassette tapes back and forth.

The result was that once my contract was up, I took a contract near her and moved back to Eastern Canada.

We never had serious intentions of marrying and are still Facebook friends today.

"The one that got away"

Can't call it a relationship really, more like let me(him) string you along while you wait...anyway, it ended,learned my lesson, and didn't repeat it.

my current relationship was long distance and she moved all the way from Boston to LA. it’s been 1.5 years since the move and things have been amazing

Haven’t seen you in a month of Sundays!

Yes, I was in a long-distance relationship. I was on Earth and he was on Neptune.

yes twice. both were long term and eventually moved in with them. both fellow americans and just out of state not out of country

I wasn’t in one but I almost was.. we were in different time zones and she got mad that I went to sleep so I kind of just dipped

I thought I was in some type of "relationship". I mean, it went on for 13+ years.
Turned out I was NOTHING to her.

Well it's complicated. I was but he wasn't.

Yes. Complicated

Yes

We celebrate 10 years of marriage next month

Down the drain

Yes, did not ended well. Doesnt make sense to be in one

Jealousy and arguing
