long distance relationship?

Of course it works .. If u have a very good understanding .. Relationship never ends !!!

i have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years.. i can bank on my fiance being away 8 months of the year due to work... i dont mind it but i do get lonely and so do the kids.. but its worth it with the money he makes which he would never make that here so you give some to take some... it has worked out for us

Yes I believe it does. It depends on the couple and not the distance. Distance may be a factor to make a relationship difficult but it depends on the couple and their love for each other. I am in one and I know a lot of people who have long distance relationships too :)

I think another vital part of long distance relationships that you didn't mention is really good communication, which obviously builds trust and helps to keep you interested and informed of your loved one's life. I've kind of had long distance relationships, in the sense that a friend and I who lived quite far apart were interested in each other, but never officially "dated" because of the distance, but we have remained good friends. That was some time ago now, and I am in a great short-distance relationship with my boyfriend of 1 year, who lives with me and is sitting about 1 metre away from me =) To answer your question properly, yes, I do think it is possible for a long distance relationship to work, but just like any other relationship, they can take a lot of work and go through ups and downs, and might eventually come to an end. =)

I don't really believe a long distance relationship. And I never do a long distance relationship. Maybe it's not really works for me. But I agree with where long distance relationship needs extra commitment and trust.

It really depends. I do agree with you. Two bonded souls with genuine commitment may be apart in distance, but not in heart.

I've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries ;) .

i would tell you from my experience. recently, my girlfriend broke up with me because my long absence with her is taking a toll on her needs. i am studying abroad. we are separated half-the world away. i could not be there when she needs me. i thought the technological advances would make us virtually together every now and then through chatting, emails, SMS and cheap calls. but they all failed to make our relationship work. so long distance relationship did not work for me.

well it can definitely work but i think it probably doesn't work more often. personally i make it work. i'd be lying if i said i never get tempted, but its knowing that i couldn't live with myself if i screwed up that keeps me out of trouble. plus, absence makes the heart grow fonder!
