The Long Distance Relationship

July 25, 2008 9:45pm CST
I know a few, who engage into long term relationships though its risky. Why risky? Of course the parties are at a distance from each other and TRUST is always threatened. With regard to my friends' relationship they always are in the EXTREMES. When they are happy, to the EXTREMES. When they argue and fight, EXTREMES. Love Making, EXTREMES as well. But still they manage to work the relationship out for a year and more now. The longest couple in Long Distance that i know of is 9++ years.. What do you think guys? Does Long Distance Relationship work and last? Granting that you see each other once a month, once in 6 months?

i have a long distance relationship. my boyfriend is in Dubai. i tell you, it is really hard.. i trust my boyfriend and i really love him. but he have his priorities. now he is planning to migrate in europe. he doesn't want to come back here in our country anymore. i want to wait but until when. he can't answer it to me. he doesn't want me to expect too much from him. it is really hard, especially when you have a partner who is not that committed to you...

They work if the couple loves each other and has ultimate trust and faith for each other. I am in a very long distance relationship right now, well for over a year now I can brag . He lives 4000 miles away, I being in America and him in Sweden, and when we visit each other it is usually a month at a time. He visited last month June 11th- July 11th, but it was extremely hard to see him go, it's the worst sadness I ever feel. I will go see him December 6th- January 4th, then he goes in the navy (mandatory) for a year. So I doubt I will really get to see him at that time, but we are very determined to make it work, and I can tell you that I am very confident that it will. Maybe he will get time off of work in the navy to visit, or perhaps I will go there, who knows. One thing we definitely have for each other is ultimate trust, there's no way I would distrust him with anything. He doesn't do anything such as drinking, etc. He's very good about things, I can't see him lying or cheating, ever, he's just too in love with me . If you have dedication coming from both man and woman (or man and man, or woman and woman) you can make a long distance relationship work, and not only work, but be fun as well.

Your relationship sugar inspires me, and i know it will inspire others more. Love and Trust are really the mainstream in a relationship and i congratulate you both. Keep rockin` guys!!!

While trust is threatened, if it's true, you really won't have to worry. My boyfriend and I are apart much of the time because I go to school almost 200 miles away. If we didn't have the trust in each other that we do....we certainly would not be together anymore, and we've been dating for over a year now. There can be extremes there, but at the same time, the relationship ends up being that much stronger.
