How long......... (30)

Hi yes its me again..............

How much time do one invest in a long distant relationship. If one sees this person only once or twice a month. Talk a lot on skype but not much one on one time. This person has not made much of a commitment in anyway. Why is it so hard for some to commit.help

First I thought that it’s “Does size matter” thread…laugh

From my point of view, every relationship, long-distance and other kinds, has got to last as long as it suits all the involved. When one thinks that it’s not funny anymore, there’s no point to continue.

Have to agree with Tulefel, if it suits you both then it doesn't matter if you see each other once a month or once a week.

I have a friend who only spent 2 weeks a year with her partner for over 10 years. It suited them both. When one of them decided that they weren't happy with it anymore they called it a day.

Don't make a decision based on what others say is right, base it on what you feel is right.

Good luck x

I agree with those above. If your comfortable with the arrangement fine, i take it your not so set a level and use the female intuition still not happy call it a day before it goes too long,compromise and before either one or both get emotionally hurt.

If you are in a long distance relationship, it is said that you are in love with the 'idea' of the person, not the person.

Perhaps you are 'in love' with the idea of being in love?

And why 'commit' when you get the good stuff without commiting?

Flew back to the UK 3 times last year and once to Poland to meet.

Had made plans to relocate, having made the decision to spend less time with my children for the love of a special person.
Not an easy decision to make at all.

I made all the commitment....... so why is it that others/women are not satisfied with you making that commitment. ?

WTF

I’m confused… dunno Does it mean that you’ve met that special person and are about to relocate? Or, judging by “WTF” expression, you are discontent with that?

Shall one congratulate youcheering

It’s hard to commit when people don’t want to commit. And frankly, I think that being on an international dating site is a sign that you are not looking for commitment in the first place. For fun, for experience, for spending time in an odd company, for therapy, for attention, for everything else but. Exception: you are willing to relocate. Then yes, that would be about commitment.

And for the second, you can’t demand anything from other people if they don’t want give it to you of their free will. If one doesn’t want to commit, the other has no right to insist.

I love lots of your posts and you speak so much sense, but I cannot agree with this forst para.

For me it is a sign that I am totally CRAP at the whole 'bar scene' thing that is the staple option here in Spain. But commitment? If I 'felt' it, I'd do whatever I could to make it work. I'd even consider relocation, even though that's a serious difficulty for me and for many others. But for 'her'. I'd find a way to make it work.

Well… from your first post I’ve understood that it’s about a long-distance relationship. But it turned to be about lack of interest from your acquaintance. Good that it didn’t make any negative impact on you. Good luck in the future!
