Did long distance ruin our relationship?

me and my ex were long distance like im from Australia and he was from America how relationship was quite strong for how far away we were like I mean we called any and every chance we got he had work alot and stuff and I guess that was alot on him but do you guys think that being miles away was what mainly caused our break up?

Huh. Its weirdly common for Australians to date Americans it seems. My ex is Aussie, im American. We met in America and she's still here, but we aren't together anymore. I was very clear I didn't want to live in Australia, and she doesn't feel safe here and I think shes gearing to leave. C'est la vie. Im sorry long distance was hard, but im living proof sometimes closing the distance doesn't make things better. Sometimes it gets bad when you start living together. I wish you luck no matter what.

things were already slipping before the distance became the “reason,” or did it truly feel solid right up until the end?

distance makes things harder, but it usually just exposes what’s already shaky. if it was strong in the right ways, people find ways to make it work, even with busy schedules.

i’ve been in long distance too, different time zones, always trying to squeeze in calls, and when it ended i kept thinking it was just the distance… but deep down there were other cracks already there

in my experience, long distance is extremely hard. And it only gets harder as time went on. While it definitely is a factor that can cause breakups, it may not be the bigger reason

I don’t think so, probably he was afraid on his own that he can’t be enough or that you lose interest in holding the long distance relationship sooner or later. Did he named a reason why he broke up with you?
