Xinreeki Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 What distance or frequency of visits must a relationship have to be an LDR?
will1988 Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 IMO an LDR is when someone lives more than an hour or two away from someone and or can only see that person at most twice a month due to distance (even if it is 30 minutes away, if you can't see your significant other more than once or twice a month IMO this still counts as an LDR). Even if you see your significant other more than twice a mounth but have to travel more than two or three hours to see that person, then that IMO is still classified as LDR.
HeavenOrHell Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 IMO it's not an LDR if a person has to ask if it's one, actual LDR's are very obvious. What distance or frequency of visits must a relationship have to be an LDR?
Author Xinreeki Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 IMO it's not an LDR if a person has to ask if it's one, actual LDR's are very obvious. Doesn't everything or every situation have a generally accepted definition or defined limits? We have visits every 2 weeks and live 5 hours apart. But many here seem to have much less visits, so seems unclear whether it should be considered an LDR the same as other longer distance relationships.
TaraMaiden Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Given that people will even get into their cars and drive to the local shops less than half a mile away, i would define an LDR as anything more than 2 blocks away. 1
LittleTiger Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 What distance or frequency of visits must a relationship have to be an LDR? I don't think there is a definition of an LDR and I don't see why there needs to be one. We certainly don't have a 'you don't qualify' button on LS If you need help with your own relationship and you believe you're in an LDR, ask away. The advice will be a different depending on your circumstances eg, your ages, whether you started 'short distance', the reason you're apart, how often you communicate, how often you see each, how much time you spend together, how far apart you are, financial circumstances, how soon will you be closing the distance (if that's the plan), the nature of your problem etc Every LDR is different but we all consider ourselves to be in LDRs. 1
Asda Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Depends on your character how strong you are and how much you want to be with your partner. It is different for everyone. I was in Europe she was in Latin America, visited once a year - lasted for 3 years, everything became worse and ended. So I had Very Long Distance then. I think if you are not together everyday it is heavy relationships and need to avoid this type of circumstances, do everything you can LDR not to be for a long period of time, make it as short as possible.
Els Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Eh, you'll find that everyone has different definitions of the term. Personally I've defined any sort of distance where you can't just hop in the car, go see your SO, and be back at home the same day as a LDR. So driving distances of 2hr+. I do make a distinction between 'soft' LDRs being the sort where you can see your SO at least once a month or so, and 'hard' LDRs being the sort where you see your SO at most once every few months. Both are LDRs, but are generally comprised of different sorts of issues and problems.
