Long-distance relationships, it seems, will continue to spark unsure feelings and insecurity, even when mentioned to those who have been in one.
Dr. Gregory Guldner, author of Long Distance Relationships: The Complete Guide, writes that long-distance couples often "face daily bombardment from naysayers, which for some couples makes them constantly reevaluate their choice" (Guldner, 6).
Journalism sophomore Emily Nagle is one of those naysayers.
"I don't think long distance relationships work at all," said Nagle. "You have a divide between you. You can't actually get close with one another which I guess is what a relationship is in my mind."
Nagle said she had previously been in a long-distance relationship, and admittedly wasn't as into it as her partner was.
Engineering junior Jake Huver said that anything is possible, if the connection is there.
"I've never been in a long distance relationship," said Huver. "I'd give it a shot if I really loved the girl, though."
While the negative implications of long-distance relationships seem endless, they will likely continue to exist as travel becomes easier in the modern world we live in.
