Long-Distance Love and Dating Abroad

The last time we talked about singleness and dating on this show was 3 years ago (Ep 19: What We've Learned From Being Single)! But new developments have emerged...   Daree hates long-distance relationships (LDRs), but she unexpectedly met someone special on her last trip... and he lives on another continent. (It feels like he's in another galaxy far, far, away lol.)   Whether you're in a LDR now, or considering it, listen in as she gets some advice from Daj (whose had her own LDRs). We discussed how to deal with the circumstances, being wary of your emotional and financial investment in the LDR, and more:  

• Daree explains how her LDR came about (in Colombia) 4:10
• Daj's 3-year relationship that turned from local to LDR (in Italy) 6:18
• Overextending yourself and things to think about for LDRs 15:21
• Being used when you appear to affluent or unaware 19:18
• Daj's 2-year LDR & engagement  21:18
• How to evaluate "where this is going" and decide if a LDR is right for you 28:37

  Have you ever been in an LDR? How did it turn out? Let us know:   @thecmonsonpod [e-mail] Voicemail: 757-204-5495     Background: Daree's 2022 Colombia vlog
