I didn't start out wanting a LDR. And it is really hard. Roller Coaster hard....but, If you are drawn to that person...there isn't much you can do except hope for the best.

I wouldn't want to leave beautiful Arizona, but if I met "the one" and she lived across the country I'm not going to give up happiness just to live in a particular place. If she couldn't move then I would. Of course, finding out if they are "the one" becomes increasingly difficult in direct proportion to the distances involved, so I think I have a much better chance of nurturing a relationship to that point if the person lives within at most a 3-4 hour drive for me. Just the realities of an LDR for me.

I agree with you, there is a lot of communication that has to be on a LDR. But no one will answer my question Why if anyone that feels this way would you expect anyone to make the effort if your not willing to meet half way.

One out of how many that said anything about it.

Thank you

I cannot speak for anyone else only for myself....I am not willing at this point in my life to leave where i live...because of my kids and family here and my kids have planted roots in the school and friends etc.etc....so for me to get into a LDR would be just nuts...wouldnt happen....its nice to fantasize about it...so to chit chat with others on here..is fine with me....as far as others in my area there arent many..lol.....but hopefully in about 5 years when my youngest graduates.....i am outta here....time for mom to live....NY is just getting old for me......lol
does that help Shadow????

Under 5 hours, I will meet half way...or go the whole distance, getting a block of time where I won't be called into work every 30 min is my problem....but I'll take care of it.

I understand where your at. There are some people that can't just get up and move. but what i'm looking at is the ones that can...

Where do you live? JK
