Which are the benefits of being in a LDR?
I know what you are thinking. Long distance relationships have benefits? Yeah right! Well, you shouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet. It is true most people think it is all tears and heartache but there is always an upside in every negative situation. In this instance, being away from your sweetheart for a period of time can be a blessing for your relationship in many levels.

You don’t have to sacrifice your social life  
Forget the dilemma between a night with your girlfriends and a night with him. A long distance relationship gives you the freedom to continue

You really get to know each other
It is much easier and much more natural to get to know somebody through e-mail. All the outside-stuff is left out. It is easier to open up, you learn the inner world of you partner.
No pretending, no beautifying.
This also makes the meetings more intense.
There you have it, some thoughts why to take a chance and go for it.

I can definitely relate to these benefits. My bf lives all the way in South Dakota and I live in WI. We talk through emails every day and then on Wednesdays he calls from Job Corps, which is where he is currently attending.

A nice story, I cant find myself in either one of these benefits. I only want one thing and that is being togther doing all the benifits with my partner together or support one and another in them. But i can imagen one could use these so called benefits as a way of making the waiting and separtion less painfull.

Regards from Holland And love to my N In BG

I like that this article focuses on all the positive aspects. Being in an LDR can really make things feel more bleak than good. But the article presents LDRs as if it is the best arrangement, with all these perks, which is deceptive. First of all, the point about sacrificing social life: if I had to chose between my boyfriend and my friends, I would chose my bf. And it is NOT an act of sacrifice. It is sad to even think that. If someone is in a relationship and thinks \"I have to sacrifice my social life to be with this person\" they shouldn\'t be in that relationship. And the other point about not being bored... if you are with the person you love, it is never boring! Are you kidding me??? However, I do agree it is a good way to see if your bond is truly strong, and it is also a good way to advance in one\'s career. Certain relationships can get in the way of that.

I related a lot to this article. This is how I feel in my current LDR relationship. We are 2 hours apart but see each other every weekend and talk on the phone every night. I have never felt a bond so strong in any of my other relationships. We talk about everything, we spend the greatest time together on the weekends and the facts that we spend 24 hours a day every day together when we see each other makes me discover and appreciate all the little things in his life and his personality that make me love him even more. Granted we do miss each other a lot during the week and we can\'t wait to see each other on Friday night but I feel that this LDR will have brought us a lot that all other relationships I have had weren\'t able to bring me.
