I don't believe in long distance relationship.I know its just a matter of trust and you need to invest on it.But temptations are just around the corner...sometimes you can't blame people if somehow they fool around or at least go out and date somebody while they away from their chosen partner.But who am I to judge..who knows the long distance relationship work for others.Well not for me.

People have different beliefs in life. Just when you said you dont believe in a long distance relationship.... On my part, I do believe..I do, I do and I do. Wanna know why? coz I am in a wonderful marriage and everything started in a long distance relationship. I was in the Philippines when I met my husband online. He is in the other part of the world that time, which is U.S... We've been in a long distance relationship for a year before he decided to meet me. Now i am living with him here in U.S and will never stop believing in a "Long distance relationship".

I don't believe it. Two people will share something in common during the process of getting along. A boy far away tried fall in love with me. However, we argued time and time again.

I agree that long distance relationships may be very hard. They are clearly not for everyone. But if someone chooses to be in an exclusive long distance relationship either of them can and should be blamed if they cheat in any way. If they want to see someone else it would be the only decent thing to talk to their partner and maybe end the relationship if a new one is what one wants

My husband and I have been withstanding long distance relationship. When we were just going steady he was working in the province while I was working 4 long hours away from him and would only see each other at most 2x a month. Five years into the relationship he went abroad and was gone for more than a year. Two months after we got married, he was assigned by his company to another branch and was away for five months. More than a year ago, he went abroad again and was gone for ten months. In our (all in all) 13 years of being together, I think we've learned that the key to making a relationship work, long distance or not, is good communication. With it, you would eventually gain each other's trust and respect.

I've seen it work for some. It can't be that bad if two people are committed. Even when one lives with their partner one cannot guarantee that he or she will not fool around.

It's hard, but I believe it is possible, especially if the couple started out short distance. That's how it was for me and my boyfriend for a while. We had been together for about 2 years living way close to eachother, but then he moved far away. We still saw eachother at least once a month though. It sucked, but we got through it. Now we live close again and by next year we will have an apartment together. Oh by the way, we've been together for almost 5 years now. We have never cheated on eachother even when we were far away. But I think that that is a lot different than starting out long distance. Noone is really serious at the beginning of a relationship, especially if they have never had a long-term relationship before and so I can understand why it would be hard to stay faithful. However I don't believe that anyone should cheat even if you have only been together a week or so. you never know where that relationship is going to go and you don't want to ruin it before it ever has a chance.
