    Do you mean being in two different geological locations, or do you mean wanting different things out of life?

    For different geological locations (Long-distance "relationship"), they rarely survive.

    For wanting different things, it only bothers the relationship to the extent that the person misunderstands the source of happiness.  95% of our emotions arise from our subconscious patterns, so all our goals, desires, and even our love relationships .. will not make us happy for long unless we already ARE happy.

    So the more we are fixated on some goal, and that goal contradicts making a relationship work, the more we will wreck the relationship.

    YET, the more we hope that the relationship will make us happy once the honeymoon infatuation has died out ... the more miserable we will be with the relationship over the long run.

    Yes because it does not naturally evolve or grow, it's superficial going nowhere fast.  Human beings need to be physically together and in the reality.

    It definitely can. It did with my last relationship, but more so two different set of beliefs. My ex wanted to get married to me as soon as possible, meanwhile I was only 21 trying to build up my life to make the money I’m making now. He couldn’t wait a few more years, and cheated on me with someone that was in the same pace in life as him. I am actually dating someone older than him, but we are both happy and lucky to take our relationship slowly so we can eventually match each other where we are in life. I think our difference is , is we both have goals 😊 I think different places in life can work as long as your end goals and beliefs match.
