What are your views on long distance relationships?

The best %26amp; the worst at once. Best : you never get bored of each other, you get to miss the other person, have plenty to talk about whenever you DO meet and distance gives you THAT challenge to want to be with each other even more. Worst: You don't know if what the other person says is real, it might be all set up, you don't know what the other one is doing, wether they are with someone else or not, what kind of lifestyle they have or if they're just getting from you what they can't get at home...And if you ever go visit, keep your eyes open for lil' signs as they'll be easy to spot if you pay attention. If the other person always comes visit, it means they don't want you around their ';comfort zone';. Just listen to your mind and follow your heart and you should be OK as there are no rules when it comes to ';love';...What are your views on long distance relationships?
Long distance relationships dont generally work due to the fact of you not seeing each other regularly enough. Would one of you be prepared to move closer to the other person in given time? If your serious enough then there is no reason why you cant and why it cant work just as good as seeing someone who lives down the street.What are your views on long distance relationships?
They never work unless there is an end to the distance. You have to realize that we are constantly growing each and every day. So you can imagine that if you two aren't in close proximity of each other you'll naturally grow apart. And without the fulfillment of that physical touch or quality time the feeling of love will disappear. It's all chemical. :)





So good luck and meet a great guy in your city!





-Love Doctor
I am contemplating the same thing as of now. For myself and him I have absolutely no desire to be with anyone else. We have decided to go out with other people to see if we constantly feel the same for each other. Funny things is we both cant seem to bring ourselves to do so. This is a hard situation!! But my honest opinion is if neither one is willing to move then it will never work.
LDR'S are hard work more than Im willing to put in. I therefore tend not to get involved in them. You get out of it what you put in. Good luck
they don't work out. if you truly love someone you should try to move closer to each other. otherwise yeah they are a waste of time.
They suck! The trust definitely has to be there. At the end somebody has to move.
they require a lot of trust
Never saw one that worked out.... pretty much a waste of time.

A serious relation ship, requires more dedication. Like she would be considered your only girlfriend, her parents might have to meet her.


You would meet her parents,


Introduce her to you friends and vise versa


Go to dates regularly, hang out with the family and friends.


Comit only if you really love her and if she is a good girl.

What role do emotions/feelings play in relationships?

If you are in a relationship, why is it important to share your feelings and stuff?What role do emotions/feelings play in relationships?
If you never communicate what you do and don't like, then the other person will have trouble knowing what you do and don't like him or her to do. However, to constantly express your emotions is a bad idea because it makes you seem self-centered, critical, and annoying. So, in order to help the other person know how to get along with you, express your emotions on things that are really important to you. Also, when you do decide to express an emotion, do it when the other person is most likely to listen and take it well. This may involve waiting for the right moment.What role do emotions/feelings play in relationships?
I think that with out them it is just a booty call/sex.
The beginning of a relationship is all emotion. The beginning of love is usually sight. The sharing of feelings shouldn't be so soon. You've really got to get a feel of the other person. How many times has a girl given her heart felt feelings to a new guy and it becomes a point of laughter to his friends. Love , but proceed with caution.
because ur emotions are part of you---the describe how you feel about something or someone----without emotions we would be robots--and wouldnt that be boring?
Oh I cnt over emphasis hw important it is...I mean am in a lng distnce relationship and we' ve been apart for a year now but our relationship is growing so strong and its all bcos of being able to communicate freely with each other wivout holding back or being afraid of wat d other myt say.





You can never always tell wats on ur partners mind,so it'll be helpful if u guys could communicate...and truth is,it helps to strengthen the friendship in the relationship.


Goodluck...
If you don't communitcate, don't share your feelings... how would you know what the other person really wants?





At the end of the day, we only do things so people can treat us the same...





Ask yourself, do you want to know what he feels for you? Do you want him to know how you feel for him?


So knowing that, is it important or is it not important? :)
pretty much just to piss your partner off.
they get in the way yo have think with out these feelsing or beawaer what your saying
what ? i'd just beat it and leave ... where are you from ?
To create a feeling of trust and relieve any insecurities your lover might have, its always good to share your feelings, and if your in love its should be no proble sharing.

this works

What were Darwin's views on the relationships between various organisms?

Darwinian theory states that within an ecoclimate/system an ubundance of organisms interact depend and compete for survival.


Some even co-exist this is known as symbiosis,where both organisms have become mutually dependant on each oters existance for survival.What were Darwin's views on the relationships between various organisms?
He believed that depending on where things lived, they would interact with the other biotic things in their environment, and sometimes they would need to acclimate to stay in the same environment, as the things around it. For example, in the Galapagos Islands, there were birds that had the same beak sizes, meaning they ate the same things, but then one of the birds acclimated so that it would not be killed off from that certain environment.

Do women who find themselves in abusive relationships over and over again have form of M眉nchhausen Syndrome?

I'm blown away that so many people are under the misconception that those suffering from Munchhausen's fake their ailments. They inflict an ailment upon themselves, take poison, puncture an ear drum. They are physically ill but they caused the illness. I see where you're going. Perhaps they get into the abusive relationships in order to recieve the injurys that send them to the ER. Problem with this theory is most of these women don't seek medical treatment and when they do they make an excuse for it. If Munchausens were involved they would want an undiagnosable ailment that would lead to tests, hospitalization and a lot of attention. Abused women shrink from attention.


Low self esteem is more the cause of the women who repeat the behavior. They don't feel capable of being independant, they need a man to take care of them but they don't feel worthy of a man who treats them well. I wonder if we're seeing more of this because in this day, most men want a equal partner as a wife, not someone who needs to be cared for. For the women who need a caregiver the pickings are being narrowed down to men with a control issue which is the first step to being an abuser.


We can all do our daughters a favor by raising them to be strong independant women who can enjoy a relationship but don't NEED a relationship.Do women who find themselves in abusive relationships over and over again have form of M眉nchhausen Syndrome?
Now my question to you is where you would (personally) see any evidence of this being possible? Many people have already stated what the true meaning behind Munchhausen Syndrome is, so I'm not going to reiterate their statements. But because I've witnessed many men and women who're or at one time where involved in mentally/physically abusive relationship, I (from my own personal experience) would have to say no.





Women and men who stay in these sort of relationships have sort of disconnect between reality and make-believe (sort of like the syndrome you mentioned). They believe that by staying with their abusers and enduring the physical and psychological punishment, they're proving to the abusers that their love for them is unconditional. Some feel that their vows before god are sacred and will not be broken (For better or worse), even if it means them being broken physically. Broken bones, black eyes, gunshot/stab wounds, emotional baggage and damage, and sometimes death are all the result of abuse being suffered at the hands of a lover (very rarely at the hands of the one鈥檚 being abused).





The only way this 'disconnect' would be related to the mentioned disorder was if the victim was causing the afflictions upon themselves. In most instances (based on what I've seen) this is not the case. People (meaning men and women) who cry out for help are not making it up. I'm not saying that it's not possible (because I've seen this happen before too). I would have to say that the cases I've seen where real and the abuser was found guilty and punished.





And while I'm at it, what made you ask this question? What incidents have you witnesses personally would cause you try and find the relation between an abusive relationship and Munchhausen Syndrome?Do women who find themselves in abusive relationships over and over again have form of M眉nchhausen Syndrome?
No... It's definitely not a form of M眉nchhausen Syndrome, though I have often wondered if it was something like Stockholm Syndrome, when a prisoner or other victim begins to identify with their captor...





We learn about love from our parents or parental figures and how we relate in relationships can be directly affected by that dynamic. My mother was raised by an abusive father and that is how she learned of ';love'; so that is what she sought. She has been in numerous relationships with numerous men and almost every single one of them, including my father, was abusive in one way or another. The only ones that were good for her, she couldn't handle and she ran away from. Unfortunately, that is a common theme among women in abusive relationships. That or they believe that, for whatever untrue reason, they deserve this treatment...
Munchausen Syndrome seems to be another name for hypochondria. (the person themself feigning illness to gain attention as opposed to Munchausen Syndrome by proxy which is a mother making her child(ren) sick to gain attention for themselves). Women who are in repeated abusive relationships are most likely to have very low self-esteem and their abusers have convinced them that they are without worth outside the relationship i.e. that without them (the abuser) the woman is worthless, the abuser makes them a ';human being';.
';Munchausen syndrome is a psychiatric disorder in which those affected fake disease, illness, or psychological trauma in order to draw attention or sympathy to themselves'; so obviously not. The bruises, broken bones, etc. are quite real.
Are you thinking of Stockholm Syndrome, where a hostage/kidnap victim falls for, or starts being loyal to their captor? I could see a person who is in multiple abusive relationships maybe having some form of this.
I think they have some kind of mental problems, but probably not that one, since it would require that all of her ailments be fictitious.





A combination of masochism and low self esteem seems more likely.
No they just pick gutless a**h***s who call themselves men!
No, has nothing to do with it.
no!
NO





What a weird idea

What are your views on long distance relationships?

Not easy, but if you can be committed to them, make the effort to make it work, talk to each other daily and visit as often as possible, they can sometimes work, at least for a while. They require a lot of work though, and unless you really love the person to death and there are plans that in future that you will live closer together, I would say they're not worth sticking with for too long.What are your views on long distance relationships?
It would be frustrating to say the least. =/
