Student Relationships: Does Long-Distance Relationship work?

Yes, i think it can work as long as the trust is there :) though there will be temptation to sway away, but it all depends on how deep is the love between each other :) If ur fren can already last 10months, that's not bad already.. hehe

I believe it works. My boyfriend and I are oceans apart, and no doubt, there were hard times we had to go through. We misunderstood each other, thinking that we needed someone right next to us. Hence those times we were on the verge of breaking up so as not to hurt each other. In the end, things were clarified, and we now know we need each other, not someone else. Patience, communication and tolerance are important in a long distance relationship. Believe in each other, show some interest in what he or she is doing, and have faith. It's been two years and a month since my boyfriend and I got together, and we are hoping to get through this :)

it mainly depend on the the parties involved. if both are willing to do everything to work it out yes it is possible. However, to be in a long distance relationship is not easy. You have to have a lot of trust and must establish a good means of communication;otherwise, the relationship is always at the brim of break-up. I myself, was into that relationship, and I will say it wasn't easy because you will feel lonely and you will miss the person so much. Well, we made it and right now we are happily married already.

sad to say most of these relationships won't work. Unless both sides try 100% and really want it to work. I once dated a guy who lived 70 miles away, and your talking oceans apart. 70 miles seems like nothing. Everything went well for about a year and a half. But than loneliness sets in. And the fact is in a long distance relationship your gone to be lonely for the most part. Things will be fine until one of them meet someone who interests them. Than the one will start spending more and more time with this person who interests them.And they start to think this could be a good thing and i would get to see this person on an almost daily basis. That was my situation anyway. At some point or another talking on the phone just isn;t enough anymore. I was seeing this guy about once a month when we both had the time. Sadly the odds are against these two people. one will more than likely move on why the other one doesn;t understand why it all happened

it depends.. i have so many friends who were into long distance relationships---really oceans apart..they were together for like a few years only and they broke up...but on the other hand, i also know of some who really ended up together despite the very long distance they have..as i've said, it depends.. it depends on how these couple are deeply committed to each other, how loyal and faithful they are, and how much patience they are willing to give in order for their relationship to really work..and of course, love..how they both love each other would definitely count!

Its not necessary to meet up often, Its important to communicate. It requires some trust, but usually it doesnt create any problems. Actually I feel the problem in long distance relationship comes up when the couple are actually togehter, the guy (being a guy that he is, may want something crazy....) the girl needs to understanding and good at handeling such situations, in her as well as her boy friends favour!!

I am in a relationship right now, though not as long as oceans apart. But i know people who have had that sort of a relationship and i was actually very proud of that couple because they never gave up. They lived on phone calls and made their day happy by talking to each other everyday over the phone. I have not yet seen any long distance relationship failing because of the situation but as far as i have seen, this sort of relationship can really work if the couple are really committed and are very sincere about their relationship.
