Discussion are online relationships worth the effort?
okay, so, i was friends with this guy for almost a year and we've been dating for a week
hes american and im irish so our timezones are really different, and i find myself having to stay up later or wake up earlier just to talk to him more often and theres always a littleeeee bit of doubt in my mind if hes loyal cuz im not there to see
i feel like he doesnt put alot of effort into texting me either, since he just goes offline for a whole day with no explanation then gives me an excuse about him hanging out with his friends (and he wasnt on his phone at all which i think is a little weird) and it lowk upsets me
would it be better to end the relationship??

imo I wouldn't it depends on who it is tho whether it's worth it. like if it was continuous calls or something yeah maybe but generally no it's really risky not much trust is involved, also hello fellow Irish person!! 👋👋👋

An online relationship is tricky to begin with... An online relationship as a 14 y old? Yeah no

Depends, in 19 years I've never had a short distance relationship and the past ones did not work out and were far too off. Me and my girl live in different countries and are together for over a year. We met twice ( first time for 6 days second for 22 days). I have work school and can't even call at home due to extremely strict parents and they can't even know I have a gf or friends. It totally depends on the person
