Death Of Long Distance Relationships -_-

I'm sorry to break it to you all but long distance relationships have officially died. You know that whole bullshit quote that says "absence makes the heart grow fonder" well it's just a bunch of crap. Not only does absence make your partner go officially crazy but it also makes them clinically insane, jealous, needy, and unfaithful. I mean just peep the word absence! Remember when your teacher from middle school used to be absent for the day and you used to act up in class and throw paper planes, write notes to people, and then when she showed up the next day you were all behaving like A+ students? Yeah that's what your partner is doing during those absent moments.
Okay let me start with the fact that I asked a question on Twitter today that made my @'s go through the roof. The question was: Do people still do long distance relationships? Here are some of the replies I got:

No...
i know not a single nigra who can successfully do that shyt indefinitely
that shit is fucking impossible
that shit goes against human nature
it truly depends on the person and their dedication. It can work though but it definitely calls for WORK
yeah, it's mad difficult though.

Yeah I put a couple of the replies who said it was a lot of work and tough but relationships should not be a second or third job. I shouldn't have to say "Damn this is tough" every single day when I'm dealing with debt, loans, homeless men on the number 2 train showing me their penises, and more. So that's my little blurb to those folks.

But seriously, the reason why I say these types of relationships are dying is because people are just not ready for the trials and tribulations that distance adds on to the relationship. A relationship itself is its own entity and distance comes along like "Bitch I'mma fuck this up." Yes there all these means of communicating via the internets, phone boning, video chat, facebook, emails but it's not worth it. Why go all through that when you can definitely find something better on the homestand. And please don't tell me that you cannot find better because although there are a whole bunch of snakes, and assholes and players and hoes, on the opposite side you have good girls and guys who, if given a chance, can turn your whole world upside down, in a good way. Why go all through that when a partner is cheating or lying to you and you're the last one to know it. Yes you may have all those kinds of problems with the man/woman on the homestand that is closer to you but the distance just magnifies that. Now I'll get soft on you and say that nothing feels better than the warmth of coming home from a long day of work and just getting a hug and kiss from your partner. Being waited on because of those long hours you just put in. Instead you have to hear, over the phone, how stressful work was and offer good advice that won't be taken. Soon enough someone will find that warmth somewhere else and it's not because there was a lack of communication but someone on the homestand is there.


I know a lot of people doing this long distance relationship thing and I just say good luck. No hate or shade being thrown but I've seen mature men and women make all kinds of immature, crazy decisions without their man or woman to see them. Is it because of the distance or is it the nature of whore? I say both but distance plays a larger role.


What's your take on it? Are long distance relationships dead? Are they worth it? Do you really have to find the person who will make you work through it? Comment and speak on it!
