long distance relationships - can it work?

Personally I think that long distances relationships doesn't work. But I hope for your friend that this time will work

yes long distance really works. it depends on both partners if they have trust and loyalty to each other. Distance may the heart ponder or forget so it really depends on both partner...

some long distance relationship works and mine is an example. my husband and i used to live miles aways from each other. what helped us maintain the relationship was constant communication. i'd like to stress on this that this tops the biggest problem of the relationship because you have to pay a high price for it literally. you should be willing to sacrifice lots of thing, especially the financial aspect. we talk through phone calls, sms, emails as well as slow mails. this has been an every day routine for us. when one is not applicable, we'd try the other alternatives. another is trust. you shouldn't put this in test. always believe in what your partner tells you. no matter what other people tell you, just believe in your partner... and of course your love for each other. take care of it.

it depends on the couple, it would work you both stay loyal and true to each other... that's what i think... ;)

It depends. I had a gf before. She went to another place just to work. At first our communication was ok but years went by we talked less. Then I had found out that she had another date. So we ended up our relationship. Yes I still believe long distance relationship works as long as you both have committed to each other.

well it worked for me. my husband and i were once had this long distance relationship for about two years and yet, we came into marriage. the key is trust and loyalty. keep on going..

I have had a long distance relationship and it didn´t work out for us. It is hard beeing apart and it can either break or give the relation more strenght.

Some said that distance make the heart grow fonder... A long distance relationship can be a test to ur relationship whether both of u are meant to be. It depends on both side to know whether ur relationship is going to work or not.. If both of u are really love each other, distance won't mean anything... even if u cannot meet or call everyday... the love inside u will make the relationship survive the test of time and distance. Always trust ur partner...

long distance love affair works if the partner wants to. distance is not a hindrance to a relationship. it is how you handle things together though you are physically apart. if you truly love your partner, you should be happy together and happy apart. i too am in a long distance relationship now. it's been already a year but my boyfriend and i are growing stronger. constant communication helps a lot. we chat everyday, see each other thru webcam every now and then, exchange electronic cards ocassionally, and give atleast 2minute-call once a week. there may be certain times where in we still have misunderstandings. but if you think of your partner's sacrifice of being far from you, you will be eager to fix things as soon as possible. just accept everything maturely. don't get interrupted or affected of other people's comments, hear say, etc. focus on the relationship and your partner and things will be fine.

yups thats work , i do that for almost one years.that just about believing each other
