Absence makes
the heart grow fonder? Maybe, maybe not! Many gay men
are divided on the topic of long-distance
relationships, some will say they found lasting love with suitors miles or even oceans away and
others would say their long-distance relationships crashed
and burned.
For what it’s
worth, a study published in the Journal of Communication in
2013 found that duos in long-distance relationships had more meaningful
relationships than those who saw each other daily—with the long-distance
couples having more frequent communications and more “relationally intense”
conversations, as study co-author Crystal Jiang of the City University of Hong
Kong told USA
Today. “The intimacy developed here is a psychological closeness—it
doesn’t include physical or sexual intimacy,” Jiang added. (Then again, these
were heterosexual couples, so our mileage may vary.)
Anyway, what’s
your take on the subject, are you in the “yea” or “nay” column?
