chezmozart Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Fine, i am from China and due to my impression of westerners it seems Chinese believe LDR more than westerners. I am really surprised that so many people on this forum believe in it and i am really encouraged by it. Just i am thinking which aspects will influence the belief in LDR. It worked on my parents (LDR 5yrs), my grandparents (3yrs) and I am experiencing it right now... What makes it possible and makes people believe it?
hoping2heal Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I believe in the person I am in the LDR with. It doesn't matter who worked out and who didn't, it matters that I have faith in who I'm with.
carvidep Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 same as h2h, and communication facilitates that belief in the other person. my sweetie knows me like a book, and I can't say that about a lot of my friends. And we've only been able to be together in person a total of 10 days. We make sure that we fit into each other's daily lives. The 1 to 2 hour webcam chat is the best part of my day!
AnnPod Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Hm I've never been thinking it would be a cultural thing... I think it sucks that when you tell that your boyfriend lives like really really far, people don't think you are seriously with that person, and then ask if you have an open relationship and stuff. This is what according to my experience happens in most cases, and it hurts, because for you it's a major thing in your life (I mean just like any other serious relationship). What makes me believe in mine is that I just fundamentally love that person and have never met anyone who has ever made me feel like that. I feel we have a connection that not many people have, and this is strong enough to keep us going. The other thing is we have been through a lot of stuff. The both of us have experienced some tough things since we are together, and also things between us got sort of messy at a certain point. We tried to break up, but stayed in touch quite frequently, since no one really wanted to move on, then met again, and decided to keep going. I think LDRs are just too hard to take when you are not serious with someone.
Author chezmozart Posted August 10, 2009 Author Posted August 10, 2009 Yeah, i agree with you. But I found for some kids whose family is broken itself, they don't believe in it and lack of courage in it.
MSUE Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I personally do not believe in LDR's I need and love the companionship the presence and intimacy...I would not be able to be away from my BF...I need to wake up to him every morning... But kudos to those of you who can and believe in it
