Do they work? I have seen them done, but are they healthy and are they good? I was in one when I was traveling for my job, but my girl left me because she couldn't take me being gone. I was heartbroken for a long time and still am a bit. But how do people do it? Can it survive? My job sends me on the road a lot. Is my job worth it if my love life fails because of it?

Some long-distant relationships do succeed. It works pretty well with other people.
You just have to be patient. Being far away is not the reason to give up your relationship. If you love the girl, you have to fight for it.
This is only a trial of how brave you are to face these obstacles in your life.
Have a great day!

Sometimes it works, you can't be sure just like any relationship. But if you love some one and they are moving away you need to try

My husband and I are currently long-distance. He is in Arizona and I am in Ontario. We got married in September, and a few days later I had to fly back to Canada. We have been long distance together and separately for three years and we have survived quite well. We miss eachother, but we love eachother enough to be patient.

When my boyfriend left and went back to his own town. I asked my friend if long distance relationship will work. Then she said, its not and it will never be. I think she said that because thats what she experienced. I asked my other friend and said Its depend. IF both of you will HOLD ON and WAIT. And HAVE TIME to COMMUNICATE then it can be. Actually, For me and my boyfriend it didn't work out. He found other girl and actually he will be getting married soon..sigh.:)

That is a tough question that honestly you have to ponder on and think on for yourself. YOu have to ask yourself if loosing someone you love is worth all the hard work and time you've put into your job. For me, I am a military wife. My husband is gone just about every two years for a year or longer, so yes, i do believe that long distance relationships can work out. you just have to find the right person, one that can handle you being gone and one that can trust you being gone and one that can love you while you are gone. Good luck to you and God bless. i'm sure the answer will come to you. Just look deep within your heart
