Generally, going on dates, sex, just the intimacy of holding hands. A hug on a terrible day, a kiss and laying with the person you care about being absent so much can be hard & painful, lonely etc not to mention many suffer trust issues too

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit exactly. Words will never be a substitute for real physical contact from another person.

@SW-User my own relationship did survive a year of distance with a few visits in between. & I do feel it is stronger for it. But there’s no question that simple touches are huge when you can’t have them

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit I know simply holding hands with someone you love, means so much for me.

@SW-User I know, it’s more difficult when you don’t really know what’s next. And you can’t really touch that person that you love.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Eventually it does get old. Most LDRs are futile and will never transition to real life. Certainly, there are exceptions. But most are a lonely path leading to disappointment.
