Have you ever came across with someone who is practicing Long Distance Relationships (LDRs)? What is your thoughts about LDRs? Does it really works?

When people are in LDRs, this means that, the both of you rarely meet. Because you're so far away from each other. The both of you keep in contact only through phone calls/MSN/Skype. Maybe once in a while, the both of you will webcam-ed with each other. Phone calls/MSN/Skype/Webcam is completely a total different things than meeting up.

Let me bring you readers to one scenario. Now, put yourself in a situation where you're having a LDR with your boyfriend. You're at London pursuing your studies whereas your boyfriend is at Singapore, still serving his NS. The both of you keep in contact only through the ways we've mentioned above. The both of you will only webcam-ed when the both of you miss each other. Let's say your boyfriend has someone else behind your back without you not knowing it. He will still acts normally 'infront' of you so that you won't suspect anything. Get what we meant?

What we are trying to say is, you won't know the guy/girl is lying by doing so. The only way you can know they are lying or not, is by meeting them up, and talk face to face.

Possibilities are high that cheating will be involved with anybody who's in LDRs. Like what we've mentioned above, when you're in LDRs, both of you rarely meet. Who won't get bored when you can't meet someone you love to spend time with? Who won't get bored when all of your friends have their girl/boyfriends near them when yours is somewhere far away? You readers get what we meant?

So, can the both parties really be trusted?

Well, if you readers ask us, we don't think LDRs makes any sense. If the guy stays at Pasir Ris, and the girl stays at Boon Lay, that should be a no problem. But what if, the guy is in Singapore, and the girl is at somewhere far like in Germany? If you're asking us what is she doing there, we shall say, she is pursuing her studies over there.

We do have a friend who actually practices LDRs. Our friend is a guy. His girlfriend is now at Australia pursuing her studies. She's been there for about 2 years now. And believe it or not, both of them has been together for 8 years! We also knew his girlfriend, and we're kinda close with each other.

They kept in contact through the ways we've mentioned above. They will only get to meet when she came back for study breaks (She gets to go home only two months in a year). So in a year, they will only get to meet for about 60 days.

When asked, she just told us that she trusted her boyfriend, and she lets fate decides in everything or anything that happens. She also ever caught her boyfriend cheating behind her back. She adds that trust plays a very important role when it comes to LDRs. If the guy really loves you, be it in LDRs or not, he won't fling with other girls.

Now, the recently updated news that we've heard about them is, they are getting married by early next year, soon after she has completed her studies. Alhamdullilah.

So readers, is LDRs really something that can be achieve? If we still disagree with it, we've came across with someone who has a successful LDR. So, what's your say?
