Long distance relatioships?

I think for long distance relationships to work, it depends on many different factors. First, how far apart you both will be. If it's halfway around the world, the the chances of you seeing each other often are quite low and this will definitely add stress to the relationship. Second, how long you both will be apart. If you are only going to be doing long distance for say six months to a year, then it has a better chance of working, in my opinion. However, if it's long distance indefinitely, then both of you are going to have to make a decision about whether or not one will move to be closer with the other or not. And third, how long have you been together. If you've just been the relationship for a couple months, then I think you just shouldn't bother with the long distance thing. But if you've been together for several years, then it's worth giving it a try. It really depends also on both your personalities, if you can trust each other and you both communicate well. There's nothing worse than trying to maintain a long distance relationship if one person doesn't like to talk on the phone. There'd be no relationship at all, if that's the case. Anyway, I think it's doable in some instances.

In my opinion, i dont believe in long distance relationship because we are only human. we can make a mistake eventhough our partner is with us. Now, i could'nt imagine that i would encounter this in the future. Im planning to go to dubai with my parents, but honestly until now i cant decide because of my boyfriend. I really love him, he's the only one who loved me the way i want to loved me. And its hard for me to leave him. Honestly, i want to go there because of my career, i know there are lot's of opportunities there but i want to stay here-because of him. i dont know what to do--

I think they can if the male partner is absolutel in love with the female, as I do believe that if he is he will resist temptations and keep the female well aware of his love...an old lady once said to me only marry a man if he loves you more than you love him...and from what I have seem over the years I now understand what she meant where as I never did when I was young.

All the ones I ever tried never panned out. I have given up on the internet connections. Most all the men I have talked to want a relationship without the commitment. Many just want a care provider.

hi. i been to LDR for 3 years and so , we been bless by a little boy whose been 2 yrs old now. even distance make us lonely we still able to le the relationship work and happy. soon we will be togther. LDR have ends and u guys will be together soon. good luck.

I've tried it once and its quite amazing. What's important for long distance relationship is that 'never lose touch' and of course make sure that the so-called 'trust' is always there. Its fun and enjoyable to have one...

This is a simple question with a difficult answer for some people. I tried the long-distance relationship thing for about seven years. The man with whom I had this relationship was less than honest with me. Unfortunately, I found out too late to make it work. He'd been after me for some time to leave my job and move from Florida to Chicago where he lived and worked. I eventually made the move to find out that during part of the time we were having this long distance relationship, he'd been married, and then the last three years before I moved up to Chicago, he'd been seeing another woman and she'd had his child. They had parted ways and it was a nasty split, but the sense of betrayal ran very deep. The lesson I learned in all of this is you can only trust someone if you can look them in the eye while talking to them or being intimate with them. Otherwise, what is the substance of the relationship? I don't think I'll ever get involved with another man who lives halfway across the country as it just can't work. At least, that is my opinion. When I was asked why I left Florida, I'd blush and have to admit, "Because of a stupid man." I felt such shame at being so gullible as to believe a man could be faithful to me (or any woman for that matter) when the chance of making the relationship work is very slim. Anyway, that's my opinion. Maybe someone else has had a better experience, and if he/she has, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
