My thoughts on online relationships.

Journal Entry: Thu Jan 3, 2013, 7:47 PM
I'd like to give out my thoughts about online relationships.

First, I believe that online relationships can work. And second, I believe that having Skype can be a major help with online relationship. Voice chatting, to someday video chatting, Skype can be a very huge help. But that's just what I think.

Now, there are some people in online relationships that can be impatient, or worried about their relationship with the one that they love.

The biggest issue with online relationships is trust.

Why? Because if you don't trust your online partner enough, then how can that online relationship work out? How can it last long?

Assuming and accusing too quickly is just...what now? And this has happened.

So someone doesn't respond to his/her online lover everyday or so, and that other partner is usually the one who does this. Notes, comment section, whatever, that other partner would be the one doing the most responding, wanting a response from his/her lover.

...Doing it everyday, and just wanting a comment soon, but soon come to the conclusion that your partner 'doesn't love you'... REALLY now?

Dumbfucks, and you know who you are, that partner may be busy with work, school, colleges, etc., or having Internet connection issues. Coming to the conclusion that that partner 'doesn't love you' is bullshit. And that is where trusting usually goes downhill from here.

Patience is also a key to an online relationship, and the dumbfucks who assume that their partner 'doesn't love them' anymore, don't seem to have patience.

Again, that partner may be busy with college work, school, etc. or the Internet may be a problem.

Trust and patience is an answer in online relationships. Assuming leads to distrust, and distrust can lead to impatience.

If you can't trust nor have the patience to be with your online companion, then WHY the fuck did you want to be in an online relationship in the first place?

-----------------------

That's my thoughts about online relationships, especially since some dumbfucks, and you know who you are, just don't have patience, assume, and have distrust in their partners, and some simply just go after another new partner without telling the first partner who hasn't responded back due to again, being busy or having Internet problems.

Since my own relationship started online, I must agree with all you've said here. :)

Absolutely agree with this.

This is the main reason why my relationship with :iconregiinator: has lasted for so long (four years). I'm in Canada and he lives in the United Kingdom, but it's our trust and communication that has helped us last for so long.

You've spelled everything out so clearly here and addressed the things no one seems to care about. Most people think that online relationships are just for 'desperate people who can't find anyone near them'. It's not true. Speaking from experience, I found my fiance to be easier to talk to than anyone I knew around me. Now he's beside me for a month long visit and I feel so complete.

I'm glad not all people aren't closed minded about online relationships. They can work with trust and communication. That's the same with any relationship, though. Including face to face ones.

I had an online relationship but it fell through for neither of those reasons. The other person became unresponsive to me. No matter the topic or how often I tried I'd get the bare minimum of a response.

Ah.

Oh I forgot to include something.
Talking, that's a huge factor in the relationship. Since you don't meet and touch you really need to be able to communicate.

One thing about this, just be careful who you talk to online.
Sometimes people online are not always the best in the world.
