My friend and her boyfriend are very much in love but oneday her family migrated to Canada so she have no choice but to leave her boyfriend. first few years they are ok to the situation but years past she felt that her boyfriend becomes very cold and she discovered that he has another girlfriend. I think it's really hard if your love once is very far from you coz there's always temptation to fall for other person. So I think long distance won't last. how about you ?

i think most of the long distance relationships couldn't work out because of the factors such as we are not physically available to our loved ones:we might think that love is enough to overcome missing our loved ones but it isn't..in relationships we needed to be sometimes available to our partner..physically and emotionally we should be there for them that's how we show our true love for them..l

I don't know I think that if two people really love each other that they could make anything last...I mean when two people really love each other they are suppose to want to make things work wheater they are with each other all the time or not...but I can see where you say you dont think it will work because there will be alot of men and women around them and that will be tempting to them...and I have heard that people can fall out of love and I hope that that doesnt happen to this couple...but I guess only time will tell!

Long distance love affairs are hard to maintain. People normally wants to enjoy the companionship of being with another person. It takes a lot of effort to maintain a long distance relationship. But the true question there would be if there is any hope for them in the future, like if one party will eventually move to where the other is so that they finally be together. If there are no such plans, then it would be useless to maintain a long distance relationship.

for me i think long distance relationhip can last if both of you have communicate with each other, because communication is very important in this kind of situation and add thi with prayers ofcourse, even if the two of you are not together show her taht you love her/him you care by means of communication. But my point here is if you really love each other love can wait, love will find a way.

I think it can work as long as you have some physical contact and something to look forward to. I had a long distance love that lasted quite a while. We saw each other every other weekend and that was perfect. In between we talked on the phone. If very long stretches go by without seeing each other tho, I can see where it would fade out after a while.

For me, long distance relationships usually won't last but it depends on the couple. Some relationships really lasts and it proves that they really love each other because they are able to be faithful and patient with each other even though they don't see and talk to each other that often.

i can say that long distance love affair can last.. me and my boyfriend have been together for almost three years.. we are miles away even from the start of our relationship.. thank God we're still together and counting more years.. yes there might be ups and downs, but at the end of the day, love still prevails.. i love him so much that distance cant break us apart.. il never let that happen.. ever..

Most long distance relationships do not last. Of course, there is always an exception to the rule. But as they say, out of sight, out of mind.
