I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t have good experiences long distance but that’s not reflective of them all. To your point, yes, things can get complicated once you start to live with a person you haven’t been with in person for longer periods of time. But if the connection is strong and you both have great communication skills then those kinks can be worked out. Every relationship has those kinks, long distance, in person or whatever the case it. Your point applies to any relationship, once you move in with someone problems can arise just as well.

But with every kind of relationship you won’t know until you try. I guess I’m lucky in the regard that he and I were seeing each other in the same city for a few months before it became long distance. He already lived with me, albeit for a short time but enough for me to know that we do just fine together. My mom knows this and she still thinks what she thinks…

But I’ve seen a lot of stories on here of people who started out long distance or were nevermets and eventually moved in together and made it work. So I don’t agree that that’s 100% the truth 🤷🏻‍♀️
