Sorry, you had such a bad experience. Yes, caution should be used with all relationships..not too sure that it is any easier to deceive though if the right questions are asked and demanded to be answered. You do need to know what to ask, though.
As far as the financial issue...why would you buy his ticket? Shouldn't costs be shared in a relationship? I mean...Peccy paid for his own ticket..but, I paid for our cabin, roon in PC and our food, booze and entertainment.
Finances should be shared as much as possible.



Yes, costs should be shared and were supposed to be. But, they weren't, as he was not as good as his word. And we spoke over 3000 minutes a month, plus pc time. Trust me, I asked the right questions. I simply received lies in response.

The man was a narcissistic sociopath. No exaggeration. Ask Peccy.... he encountered him a time or two or three....

Those are the type to watch for.



Unfortunately, we sometimes believe what we wish as opposed to reality. Often, in a long distance situation it is difficult if not impossible to verify the truth.

As many of you are aware, I've found this out the hard way.

However, that said, there is much evidence on this site that LDR's can and do work. Angel's post is an excellent public service and should be required reading for those contemplating the plunge into a LDR

People say they have success at LDR and finding love on these site. Which I dont doubt just like someone winning the lotto it does happen. Still nothing like person in person talking,meeting etc.etc.

I think what can be said is that is if you are an effective open communicator.... LDR's can be very doable.

Say what you mean to say. Hear what is said, and nothing more.

It does not seem to me that anyone on this thread disputes what you say. Angel is trying to give advice to those that do wish to try a LDR.

Is there anything wrong with that?

"it takes work" Yes it does..and alot of people just havn't got it in them to put forth the effort...heck alot don't have it in them to put forth the effort toward any relationship...much less a special one. So, they should really stay away from LDR's.

Angel, you got that right. You must be on the same page.... reading the same book...

We are just people in love trying to beat the odds. I hope we do. But, I'm also working to help make that happen. Hope without effort is fruitless.
