Yearning
During my Sunday morning chat with Gratitude, something he said about relationships really shook me-- right down to the foundations.
If you ask me, I can also say that an LDR (long distance relationship) isn't really a relationship at all.
It had me stunned for a moment. Truth be told, it is quite an anomaly. But I have never had a "normal" relationship before. Hmmm. What am I missing out on? Or is a relationship whatever we define it to be?
Any thoughts?

my 2cents...
Being near or being far shouldn't be the be all or end all of a relationship. Infidelity doesn't only happens to those in LDR..
You love someone - without conditions, without benefits, flaws & all. And that someone, feels likewise to you.
Isn't all that matters?
And the word 'normal' is so over-rated. Dun care whether its normal or not. Happy can liao =)
It's juz my opinion. So as long as you are comfy, that's what's most important.
Neways, you omitted to mention that I said LDR Sg-KL wuz still ok, unlike my KL-Dublin one. ISH!
Don't over analyse it my dear. ;) You're having a normal relationship here. Tell me what is abnormal. :)
Across the boundaries!
@L2:
Thanks for vouching for us.
@Pikey:
That's what I'm getting at lo.
@J:
It is very fond. :P
@Legs:
But can we have it both ways?
@Ken:
:(
@BluBoi:
I agree. Betrayal can happen at any time. But I wonder if distance raises the risk.
@BBear:
You memang kuat seks one. :P
@Grat:
It's your fault. You owe me dinner.
@Cest:
To each their own I guess.
p/s: I've been in a LDR for the longest time.
The important part is that, both of you have mutual respect, understanding and trust for each other. And from there try to do the 'right' things.
And on the individual part, everyone has their own set of 'moral values'. And if both of you follow and uphold the 'right' set of your own values, it should be fine. Remember we are not 'perfect', we do mistakes.
With the fondness between both of you, everything should fall into place. Don't worry about the distance, just enjoy the relationship and it will turn out nicely for both of you.
but seriously, LDR is much harder to work out than a "normal" relationship. i think all the previous comments up there already stated why.
unless you've been a couple for like 10 years already and you need to go out work for 2 years or so and turn into a LDR in the meantime, yeah, maybe it works. ;)
You love life is always most interesting. :). Will we hear about it some time?
@J:
Thanks J. Yeah, will relish every moment of it.
@Nase:
Emo. :P
@CCat:
I started out with an LDR!
Then again, your LDR is only to SG, and you share many friends. I think that makes a difference.
Will,the most important factor is u and KH are in love with each other and both are faithful even though ur apart.
No long ago,I thought of LDR not worth pursuing cos of the trust factor but since u and KH have built a solid foundation in ur relationship,why are u having 2nd opinions just becos of someone's words.Is ur love that weak,meh?
LDR is LDR,no matter the distance.
Thanks for the wonderful and varied opinions. And also the support for both of us! Hugs
For me, this is my second LDR. Actually all my relationship had some element of LDR in it.
William and I are doing great, yes there are pros and cons but we're still here ;P
