Come on, we feed the other writers too.

True. Feminism prolly has nothing to do with LDR's.

Operative word: BEAST

Personally I don't want to travel. I'd rather the person be closer. Those that can do long distance...kudos. I can respect that. It's just not for me. My family and friends are here and I'm not that big on traveling. I like the idea of seeing new places, I just don't have the energy and would get home sick

It takes lots of money to keep a LDR going. Which I do not have.
Plus it takes more than just commitment and love.
At my age it takes one of the couple to be willing to give up their home, friends and maybe family to move to where the other party lives.

Now, I am going to tell you this, that is one heck of a scary proposal. Too many variables to worry about.

I did that once, LDR, he said he had no ties to where he lived and could move anywhere. Then he started with trying to convince me to move there. Told him in the beginning that was not going to happen.

So he found someone there, without telling me. Good for him. I sill miss our conversations though.

So the only distance I will travel is an hour.

I travel a lot anyway so for me it's not a major issue. That's just part of life. If someone doesn't ever travel they will probably not be able to handle all the variables, because it's too hard to change everything about one's life just for a relationship. It depends on the person's lifestyle I'd say.

There are some "distances" love can't overcome.
