**asking for a friend** My friend told me she gets teary eyed when she sees couples in love...

No, not unrealistic.. she should decide if what he does give in terms of love is enough for her.. if it isnt then she has needs and her needs are important. She shouldn't dismiss her needs as this will lead to resentment and unhappiness. We should never just settle for something that isn't working for us.

if she wants a different love she should break off now otherwise she will remain eternally dissatisfied imo 😤

If she’s dissatisfied she needs to move on. Life is too short. Some people can’t handle LDR especially those that go on indefinitely, because there’s no day to day interaction, like she’s seeing with other couples. She’s already spent 7 years without it, and she’s not getting any younger.

LTR relationships don't work for most people and 7 years is an awfully long time. If she's not getting what she needs, she should move on.

being unrealistic about 7 years in a LDR, an ocean apart.

Yes.

The movies blow things out of proportion when it comes to love. They usually don't show the rocky times.

Things are not as they appear. In movies and reality

7 years is too long to carry on a ldr. They need to be together or break up

There is SO much missing in that relationship for her. Seems empty. She really needs to move on to something real..a look, a touch, a smile,a smell,a cuddle.How can she have any of those things now? Frankly, I think she is finally thinking realistically. It's a lonely relationship for her.

Nothing wrong with high expectations.
