They're utterly pointless in truth
All they involve is texting, email, facebooking, and excessive shower masturbation
And the odd phone call saying "I miss you and can't wait to be with you baby", while you cry wank yourself to sleep after you hang up
I've done the long distance thing, twice. And both for long periods of time
Then I woke up and realized its nothing more than chasing a fairytale
I'd much rather bed a minger on a one night stand and blow my beans up her, than stare at a facebook picture and think
"only 4 more months to go until I hold her hand again". As if she's at home in her bed safe guarding her beaver for my impending arrival.
What utter bollox. Its easy to get caught up in romantic notions of grandeur. But lets face it, we all have urges, both male and female.
Innit, basically you are conducting a relationship with various electrical appliances. Its ultimately pointless unless you at least end up living in the same postcode as each other.
Don't buy that once a cheat line tho to be fair. Everyone is capable of cheating, its just human nature, right or wrong circumstances, human weakness it happens. Just not that black and white, lots of shades of grey. We are constantly evolving socially and emotionally, everything we experience changes us. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not the same person I was even a year ago. So, would I always do the same thing when presented with a particular situation, maybe, maybe not, cant say.
If someone cheats in one relationship, are they forever a cheat in every relationship they have after that? Of course not. Its not if someone is or was a cheat, the issue is trust. Can you live with the person who broke your trust or is that little seed of doubt going to always be there, is the relationship forever tainted.
Trust isn't something you just freely give out, it has to be built, so in turn its something that can be rebuilt with time and effort if you want to.
This particular situation just sounds like the odds and complexities are myriad. However, its a simple yes or no, you want to be with her or not. If its a yes, then you work it all out, you get your head round it, you accept it, get the fuck past it and get on with life.
If you want us to decide, should of put in a poll, then abide by the poll, simple, the decision is out of your hands.
Do you want to be told to fuck her off? Ok fuck her, she is a cheating skank, she did it once, she will deffo do it again, nailed on.
Or do you want to forgive her? Ok forgive her, she didn't mean it, we all make mistakes, not worth losing her for a moment of madness.
Point is it doesn't matter what advice any of us give based on what you tell us, only you know what you want and need to do, so do it.
