AndrewG Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 If you've never actually met the other person in real life before? I've been having trouble with my LDR of 1 year and 6 months with my girlfriend whom I've never met. I posted in the break up/breaking up forum here on LS, and all I seem to get in my topic is ridicule like my relationship is less important/meaningful as others. Pretty damn ignorant, to me.
Els Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 It's not wrong. A relationship is what the two people in it decide it to be - and it's noone else's damn business. However, 1 year and 6 months is a very long time to not meet someone. For the sake of your relationship's health, people typically try to meet much sooner than that. Sorry yours didn't work out, but it's kinda difficult to work out if you've never met IRL to strengthen the bond.

Well, we were planning on meeting up after our senior year (this year) of school ends. We just have no way of meeting up until then.
Varadium Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 It was actually roughly a year and six months until I met my baby for the first time. And what do you mean enter? It sounds like youre already full into it!
Citizen Erased Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 I've met my SO, heck we are getting married, and people are still skeptical of our relationship and how "real" it is. Not a shock people would be doubtful when you haven't met her. FTR, we didn't count ourselves as official until we had met. But I was head over heels in love with him already and I count that as the start of our relationship. We waited almost 6 months until we could see each other.
Rollercoasterr Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 I met my husband about 7 years ago. We "dated" for about 3 months while I was in high school and then broke up because we were too young and it was too hard. I stayed crazy in love with him and he with me until we got back together 2 and a half years ago. We never met face to face until November 2008, so technically that was like 5 years before we saw each other. So no, I don't think it's wrong in any way. I think that every relationship needs a chance to bloom and thrive face to face, however. If he and I had stayed together the first time I definitely wouldn't have been waiting 5 years to meet him though, that just happened because we were broken up and with other people.
