01.Speaking, 68.Long Distance Relationships

Alex: So how do you feel about long distance relationships?

Maria: Not that good. I had two relationships by now and both of them ended after me going somewhere. First time I was in Denmark but like I lived on a school in another city and while I was there for four months like I think two months after I went home to him and broke up and then came back to the school and just didn't really care. And then the second time I went traveling and I missed him so much and I came back and realized that there was nothing left. I'd lost everything while I was away so I don't, after one month, after two months, I think it just doesn't work for me if it's not really special.

Alex: Yeah, I guess you're kind of like me. I have to see the person.

Maria: Exactly.

Alex: Almost, you know, daily.

Maria: Exactly and you can have conversations online and on the phone but if there's no, I don't know, it doesn't have to be much, just like be close, see each other in the eye.

Alex: It's a big difference, yeah. I did a month when I went home to Australia away...

Maria: This summer?

Alex: Yeah, this recent summer and like Skype is just not enough. Do you know what I mean? You can see the person, you can talk to them, you know you can kiss the camera if you want but it's not...

Maria: If you want.

Alex: You know it's not the same but that's not to say I don't think, some people can do it.

Maria: I figure if it's a very, like if the relationship is very, it's very passionate or you've been going on for a long time because both of my relationships were under one year I think. The first one was one year and the second one was half a year. So if we're used to staying together then I think you can work it out. I'm just too impatient.

Alex: Yeah, I guess under a year you haven't really learned to depend on the other person all the time.

Maria: Exactly.

Alex: Or...

Maria: Still going by the passion and if you can't see the person every day or like whenever you want, then the passion just slowly fades.

Alex: Yeah, agreed.

Maria: But this is your first relationship right?

Alex: Yes it is and I did one month when I went home away from the person and it was just...

Maria: And that was the first time you ever went away from the person?

Alex: Yeah and it was just aah horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.

Maria: I remember the first time I like traveled while my boyfriend was still at home and it was a week and I was devastated so it's, if it's passionate it's...

Alex: Well I did Christmas away from them when I went to Christmas, I did India for Christmas last year.

Maria: OK.

Alex: And two weeks was bad enough and then a month and I was just pulling my hair out, do you know? So.

Maria: Yeah, it's hard.

Alex: It, yeah, it certainly is.

Maria: Yeah.

Alex: So how do you feel about long distance relationships?

Maria: Not that good. I had two relationships by now and both of them ended after me going somewhere. Ich hatte inzwischen zwei Beziehungen, und beide endeten, nachdem ich irgendwo hingegangen war. Ya tenía dos relaciones y ambas terminaron después de que yo me fuera a algún lado. У мене вже було два стосунки, і обидва закінчилися після того, як я кудись поїхав. First time I was in Denmark but like I lived on a school in another city and while I was there for four months like I think two months after I went home to him and broke up and then came back to the school and just didn't really care. Das erste Mal war ich in Dänemark, aber ich lebte auf einer Schule in einer anderen Stadt, und während ich dort vier Monate lang war, ich glaube, zwei Monate, nachdem ich zu ihm nach Hause gegangen war und Schluss gemacht hatte, kam ich zurück auf die Schule und kümmerte mich einfach nicht wirklich darum. La primera vez que estuve en Dinamarca, pero viví en una escuela en otra ciudad y mientras estuve allí durante cuatro meses, creo que dos meses después fui a casa con él y rompí y luego volví a la escuela y simplemente no. con mucho cuidado. And then the second time I went traveling and I missed him so much and I came back and realized that there was nothing left. Beim zweiten Mal ging ich auf Reisen und vermisste ihn so sehr, dass ich zurückkam und feststellte, dass nichts mehr da war. Y luego la segunda vez que me fui de viaje y lo extrañé mucho y volví y me di cuenta de que no quedaba nada. I'd lost everything while I was away so I don't, after one month, after two months, I think it just doesn't work for me if it's not really special. Ich hatte alles verloren, während ich weg war, also denke ich nicht, dass es nach einem Monat, nach zwei Monaten, einfach nicht funktioniert, wenn es nicht wirklich etwas Besonderes ist. Perdí todo mientras estuve fuera, así que no, después de un mes, después de dos meses, creo que simplemente no funciona para mí si no es realmente especial.

Alex: Yeah, I guess you're kind of like me. Alex: Sí, supongo que eres como yo. I have to see the person. Tengo que ver a la persona.

Maria: Exactly.

Alex: Almost, you know, daily. Alex: Fast, wissen Sie, täglich.

Maria: Exactly and you can have conversations online and on the phone but if there's no, I don't know, it doesn't have to be much, just like be close, see each other in the eye. Maria: Genau, und man kann sich online und am Telefon unterhalten, aber wenn es keine, ich weiß nicht, es muss nicht viel sein, einfach nah sein, sich in die Augen sehen. María: Exacto y puedes tener conversaciones por internet y por teléfono pero si no hay no sé, no tiene que ser mucho, solo como estar cerca, mirarnos a los ojos.

Alex: It's a big difference, yeah. Alex: Das ist ein großer Unterschied, ja. I did a month when I went home to Australia away...

Maria: This summer?

Alex: Yeah, this recent summer and like Skype is just not enough. Alex: Ja, der letzte Sommer und Skype sind einfach nicht genug. Alex: Sí, este verano reciente y como Skype no es suficiente. Do you know what I mean? You can see the person, you can talk to them, you know you can kiss the camera if you want but it's not... Du kannst die Person sehen, du kannst mit ihr reden, du kannst die Kamera küssen, wenn du willst, aber es ist nicht... Puedes ver a la persona, puedes hablar con ella, sabes que puedes besar a la cámara si quieres pero no es...

Maria: If you want.

Alex: You know it's not the same but that's not to say I don't think, some people can do it. Alex: Sabes que no es lo mismo, pero eso no quiere decir que no creo, algunas personas pueden hacerlo.

Maria: I figure if it's a very, like if the relationship is very, it's very passionate or you've been going on for a long time because both of my relationships were under one year I think. Maria: Ich denke, wenn die Beziehung sehr, sehr leidenschaftlich ist oder schon lange andauert, denn meine beiden Beziehungen waren weniger als ein Jahr, glaube ich. María: Me imagino que si es una relación muy, como si la relación es muy, es muy apasionada o ha estado durante mucho tiempo porque mis dos relaciones duraron menos de un año, creo. The first one was one year and the second one was half a year. So if we're used to staying together then I think you can work it out. Entonces, si estamos acostumbrados a permanecer juntos, entonces creo que puedes solucionarlo. I'm just too impatient. Soy demasiado impaciente.

Alex: Yeah, I guess under a year you haven't really learned to depend on the other person all the time. Alex: Ja, ich denke, unter einem Jahr hat man noch nicht wirklich gelernt, sich ständig auf die andere Person zu verlassen. Alex: Sí, supongo que en menos de un año no has aprendido realmente a depender de la otra persona todo el tiempo.

Maria: Exactly.

Alex: Or...

Maria: Still going by the passion and if you can't see the person every day or like whenever you want, then the passion just slowly fades. María: Sigo con la pasión y si no puedes ver a la persona todos los días o cuando quieras, entonces la pasión se desvanece lentamente.

Alex: Yeah, agreed.

Maria: But this is your first relationship right?

Alex: Yes it is and I did one month when I went home away from the person and it was just... Alex: Ja, das ist es, und ich hatte einen Monat, als ich von der Person weg nach Hause ging, und es war einfach... Alex: Sí lo es y lo hice un mes cuando me fui a casa lejos de la persona y fue solo...

Maria: And that was the first time you ever went away from the person? María: ¿Y esa fue la primera vez que te alejaste de la persona?

Alex: Yeah and it was just aah horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.

Maria: I remember the first time I like traveled while my boyfriend was still at home and it was a week and I was devastated so it's, if it's passionate it's... Maria: Ich erinnere mich an das erste Mal, als ich gerne reiste, während mein Freund noch zu Hause war, und es war eine Woche und ich war am Boden zerstört, also ist es, wenn es leidenschaftlich ist, ist es... María: Recuerdo la primera vez que viajé mientras mi novio todavía estaba en casa y fue una semana y estaba devastada, así que si es apasionado es...

Alex: Well I did Christmas away from them when I went to Christmas, I did India for Christmas last year. Alex: Nun, ich war Weihnachten nicht bei ihnen, sondern in Indien, letztes Jahr zu Weihnachten. Alex: Bueno, hice Navidad lejos de ellos cuando fui a Navidad, hice India para Navidad el año pasado.

Maria: OK.

Alex: And two weeks was bad enough and then a month and I was just pulling my hair out, do you know? Alex: Zwei Wochen waren schon schlimm genug, und nach einem Monat habe ich mir die Haare gerauft, verstehst du? Alex: Y dos semanas fue bastante malo y luego un mes y me estaba tirando de los pelos, ¿sabes? So.

Maria: Yeah, it's hard.

Alex: It, yeah, it certainly is.

Maria: Yeah.
