"Is a long distance relationship a good thing?"

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Here’s the deal with long distance relationships.  You want to proceed with caution.  Most of the time in long distance relationships you are on your best behavior when you see each other and the visits are usually for a short period of time.  It is very hard to get to know a person without seeing them in a variety of situations over an extended period of time. Even if you date them for a long time, it isn’t hard to put up a front for 24 hours compared to seeing someone day in and day out having to handle the everyday issues that life dishes out.  You want to be able to know their friends, how they treat their friends, what they are like around their family.  How they handle stress and anger. These are all things you can’t see through the phone or internet.
