how would you know when it's time to let go of your long distance relationship?

Answer 1

Probably sometime before you ask total strangers on Answers this kind of question.

Answer 2

When you start to hate the fact that your always going through unecessary drama with them, and/or start dreading their calls because you know it's only going to be alot of arguing, especially on his part of the conversation, then it's time to let him go. He's not doing you any good by stressing you out. If anything, he should make you feel like you just can't wait til the day both of you can be in each other arms. He should also try and make sure that you don't have any doubts about the relationship and if there is, he should want to work with you, not argue or make you doubt the long distant thing even more. I've been there and if he's not doing what you need him to do, drop him and move on... I did, and it was the best thing I ever did. I'm now married because I have moved on with someone else and life couldn't be better.

Answer 3

Women are not capable of long distance relationships. They always are on the prowl for the ideal mate and just because you think that might be you will not stop them from looking. Proof - A woman will keep a relationship going until there is an alternative option that can immediately put into play. A male, will become forlorn, and either require alone downtime to sort things out or a series of meaningless physical encounters until they center themselves and are ready to get involved in a serious relationship. I'm not even going to go into how badly a woman treats her husband's unmarried male friends once she determines they are unsuitable mates for her unattached female friends.

Answer 4

I've been very happy in a long-distance relationship for almost a year now. You need to work soooo much harder to make these work, and the two of you need to be on the same page when it comes to your future plans. And, quite honestly, your future plans need to involve one of you eventually moving to where the other one lives.

Once you realize that your futures will not intersect... once you realize that this person is not somewhere on your mind at all times... once you no longer get that excitement about that person's phone call... once the two of you no longer trust each other's ability to remain faithful.... then it's time to go your separate ways, i think.

Answer 5

it would depend on the situation. for instance

would either one of you move to be closer to the other?
has marriage or anything along the lines of a permanent thing come into conversation?

have the two of you agreed to be monogamous even though a part and you feel that the other is dating on the sly or are you?

can you trust this person being far away just as much as you could if he/she was local?

no doubt about it..LDR's take a lot of time, patience, and trust and communication.
but if no one is going to budge from their location, ever..that is a clue to just keep it a long distance friendship

Answer 6

When you dont think about the person 24/7.
When you don't have time to talk.
When you look for other possible dates nearer to you.
When you think there is no point and marriage is not an option.

My fiance and i have been doing a long distance for 2 years now. he is going to kuwait soon and i am spending as mch time with him as i can right now. think about your relationship and what it is doing for you and to you. long distance relationships take more work than "regular"ones. so just give it some thought

Answer 7

when you start to worry about it and ask the question.
honestly.
If you are already thinking about letting it go, then just let it go, from personal experiences, long distance relationships just become a burden in the end, and people just go through with them because they are afraid of the ending of a relationship, because its been on for too long to just let it go.

Answer 8

When both of you are not even thinking on making plans for a future together ...

I lived in Chile .. my boyfriend in the US, but i always knew I was going to move here, because I took that decision after a while dating him. So our realationship was going somewhere.

My brother on the other hand had a gf in Chile, and he lived in the US.. after 3 years they couldnt agree on a future living together, and both of them made different plans... eventually they splitted up.

Answer 9

The minute you decide to have one.

Long-distance is no good. Go meet people. Don't tie yourself down to someone you never see.

Answer 10

When you are this uncertain about it as to ask the question. Both of you are squandering your lives when the opportunities for up-close-and-personal relationships are there and so much more rewarding.
