Have you ever dipped your fingers in a pot of Melon Soup (Egusi) without heating or getting it refrigerated? The next day, be sure that your soup will become sour!!! This is possibly what could become of your relationship and emotional feelings when 'distance' is involved, especially, when this 'distance' is not handled with enough maturity!

I personally think it is basically foolish trying to maintain distant relationships when the two persons involve do no wish to get married or are not ready to settle down as husband and wife within the shortest possible time! If your girlfriend lives in Uyo and you live in Akure, the burden and regular emotional pains that distant relationships bring could be better tamed if both of you would be tying the knot as soon as possible. On the other hand, in a situation where both of you are still confused on the future of the relationship or there are no serious plans for marriage on ground, you could both be deceiving yourselves while living in constant emotional torture!!! wink

'Love', no matter how fake it is, grows when the persons that are involved are physically present with each other to ignite the ingredients of romance in the relationship. When romance leaves through the door in a relationship, affection, care and attention are definitely going to leave through the windows! 'Love' would become a mirage and relationship would be recklessly abandoned and forgotten!

As partners, doing things together such as going to the cinema, shopping, strolling and holding hands in the park, watching movies together at home, cracking jokes and seeing the smiles on the faces of each other go a long way in boosting romance cool. On the contrary, these things are not present in distant affairs! Relationship needs physical body contact, if truth be told. That's the easiest way to reduce unnecessary tension, jealousy, accusations and counter-accusations, constant cheating and lying and all other funny things that go along with distant affairs!!!

In this world that we live in, where materialism and sex are fast becoming the foundations of most relationships, you should sincerely think about it...whether the one you romantically call 'your love' is fervently sincere with you too cool. I mean, phone calls and chats are just so boring and useless without physical contact!!!

I am not a misogynist and has never been but experiences and observations have clearly shown that ladies cheat more in distant relationships because they are more prone to romantic pressures from other men; some may be carried away by materialism and the pressure to have sex!!! This explains why you may be in Warri, happy that you have a loving girlfriend that lives in Lagos, not knowing that one sharp banker with slick tongue and posh car is banging her in and out! In no time, her care and attention for you would decrease; she would call and text lesser and discussions on phone would become so boring! You should know it is almost coming to an end! wink. If you don't have any plans of getting married soonest, don't waste your time on distant affairs! I would even suggest you use the money you spend on regular, boring and long phone calls on online betting because you cold be wasting your resources on a girl someone else is 'eating' cool

Distant relationship is full of pains, lies, emotional trauma, unnecessary troubles, jealousy and fear all occassioned by lack of physical presence!

Good points! But my major concern is why you had to give an example about ladies and nt give about guys. Are u saying guys are always faithful during distance relationships?

Secondly, why are u rude to people commenting? you are the owner of the thread, I expect you to embrace any comment that comes either good or bad cos it thier opinion.

You have only described the gains of a socially constructed love, not the natural kind of love.


Socially constructed love DIES with time, even if you live and bath together everyday.

yes I live in Uyo n he stays in Akure n its going to work whether u like it or not. My parent lived apart for d first 16yrs of deir marriage, now dey r living together happily n till death. So OP its abt wat we want n our determination. So u can go n knock off ur head or neck in fact hit something BT if u think coming here to get supporters to destroy wat we av build is going to make us crack, den I can c how frustrated u r. Mind ur damn biz cos its enough trouble for u. Mtcheew....

Your parents case might be a few exceptions but don't blame the OP. What he's saying is factual. This is something that happens everyday. The temptation is very high for both couple when they are far from each other.

Abegiii, its not in all cases. I dated my hubby for 5yrs, 3 out of those 5yrs I spent in the north schooling while he was in lagos, the remaining 2yrz he was out of the country, still I never cheated on him and all d while we were only dating, we didnt evn talk marriage. A good relationship will always be good and a bad 1 will always be bad irrespective of d distance. Evn if ur partner lives in ur neighborhood, itz neva a guarantee that they wont cheat
Babe nice one!!u deserve a medal!! cheesy

This is however from a pessimistic point of view. Only sense he made is that it shouldn't go on for so long.

Truely, all those romance are missed in the relationship, but could be covered with lots of other forms of bonding by having ur spouse as ur closest friend/confidant.

That is not true, everybody with different missions on what u want from ur relationship. Sex is not all u need to be sure that u love ur partner. Trust, faithfulness, understanding and love are the fundation of what I call mature and serious relationship. I am 101 percent in a distance relationship and is working out PERFECTLY. u just need to find the right person and let God do the rest, that is what we did. Though making plans already and please guys pray for us for successful celebration.

Tell them OP, Was serving some years ago and i met someone that was in a relationship, the bf will be calling and be professing love all the time at the same time nagging at every little thing. i just jejely put on my caring and loving skills and was doing the needful. You understand shey!!! My point is, its a no for me when it comes to distant relationship ,From experience , i wouldnt advise one, but if you feel you can handle it, good for you. i have lost 2 gf all in the name of distant relationship.
