long distance relationship

For me personally no god has anything to do with it but I'm not a believer in "god"..regardless though, religion or spirituality IMO has nothign to do with it either... I'm in a long distance relationship and have been for the better part of 11 yrs....Sure it has its rocky moments BUT being brutally honest, excellent communication and regular contact (email, letters, phone, visits etc) is and has been a huge help....I would add trust too but thats a very tricky thing when the distance is in the way...Not to say though that its not possible (to trust one another), its just a little tougher to do and you have to work at it alittle harder (earning and keeping)..

I have been in Long distance relationshps only, seems i just cant have anything other than that... its fate not something i chose! Anywyas i find it preety easy to be in a long distance relationship, this is my second! The irony of fate as it seems appeared to me in my first. She and me were really close to each other lots of trust and love and everything that a relatiohips could ask for when we were away from each other in different cities. But then when we moved into same town, she broke up with me.... for no reason at all!! rather she fell for another guy, i had a really really hard time digesting the complete situation. i am still not compeltely over it. Anywyas, i feel any relationship be it a normal one or an LDR requires you both to have love, respect, faith and trust to be successful. if you have these few aspects in your relationship then it will meet the destiny for sure!! the only problems with LDR is probably lack of physical intimacy (including hugs and kisses), but then i think if you love someone then you can delay these things for them.

I know that long distance relationships can work if both partners take it seriously. My sister carried on a successful long distance relationship for a year and then they decided that they were serious enough about each other to move closer together. Then they got engaged and have been married for 8 years now. I have been in long distance relationships but nothing serious yet. But if I find someone Im interested in I would carry on a Long distance relationship while getting to know them better till I decided if I or he should move closer together.

Once i did believe in LDR. I truted her..er!!him..But it didn't last even for couple months.If the couple should be in LDR they should also make it a point to meet each other atleast once a month .But if they both are living far away from each other chances are high that their relationship will start to drift away.

Over half of my marriage has been long distance. My husband is in the service and we have been married almost four years and two of those years he's been overseas. It works...you just have to have the commitment and loyalty and strength to endure those times away from each other. God and the faithfullness of a relationship, no matter how far apart you are, is what keeps it going and actually can bring the two of you closer. For my husband and i all we have is the internet and the phone, so we learn how to see the other person through that. You just have to have complete faith and trust and it all works out. God bless

My husband and I were in a long distance relationship before we were married we met online and he lived in Oregon and I live in Oklahoma. He came here spent a couple months with me then had to go home, although he didn't want to because I was pregnant with our child. We made it work, lots of phone calls and chatting with each other online. Its a lot of hard work and it takes an immense amount of trust. What probably helped me was knowing he was going back to live with his parents for awhile and the fact that I got and still do get along great with his mother. Even then she and I could talk on the phone for quite a long time.

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;).

Long Distance relationships are quite hard as there are times when you need each other alot.. You need your special person to be there for you.. One of my friends broke up with her boyfriend just because she couldnot keep up with him. that was her point of view. I think this thing varies from individual to individual. But whatever the case may be, everyone knows what kind of relationship they are in. If they are committed to each other then distance of individuals don't matter what matters is distance of hearts. Moreover, faith in eachother is extremely important. if you don't trust each other then it would only create misunderstandings and you would ultimately falll aprt. I was in a long distance relationship since past 2 years, even if we fought we always made it a point to talk to each other everyday, no matter what. And I think just because we didn't allow any communication gap to come in between us, i am happy today. Bottom line is you need to work on relationships, distance doesn't matter!!

i believe that in long distance relationship you should have a full trust with each other. But for me, I have no luck in long distance relationship. I already tried it once, we lasted for about 2 years but we broke up b/c later did I know that was a two timer dumb a$s. He even courts some of the girls that he'd met thru online games, chat or text.
