Re: Me love you long time.
I personally was in a LDR of exactly the sort you described for a grand total of four years. And it was ..good while it lasted. But now Im in a relationship where the person in question is right here and comparing the two, I find this one more real.
People say it is hard to be in a LDR and that that takes more work and as such is worth it more. I tend to disagree as I have seen both. LDRs may appear to take more work/understanding/commitment but it is all a matter of perspective. If you think about it people tend to be more forgiving/understanding if the only mode of communication is limited (eg chat or phone) because there are a lot of other outside factors to consider when it comes to spending time together ( onlinity, access to a telephone, time zones etc)
But when it comes to physical interaction, the realness of that..well it cannot compare. These people who havent ever seen their significant other(people in online chat relationships) seriously have no idea of the amount of freedom and boost to self esteem you get to be completely and totally accepted with all your faults. The best part about a close intimate relationship where you get to meet regularly off and on is that the familiarity completely allays any doubts you may have abt the other and abt your acceptance(what if he/she doesnt like my voice, what if he/she doesnt like the way I walk? )((okay those were horrible examples but my point is that they are able to see you in any and every aspect this way))
I've been my very best Ive been my very worst. I've pigged out and I've starved myself. I've laughed the hardest, I've cried like mad. I've done it all with this new relationship and he's seen it all. The relationship took work..every step of the way. But the most vivid difference I found was that I could see us evolving. growing..and comparing the two I found us to be way more real.
And that is what matters the most I guess..that its real.
