Do you believe in long distance relationships?

Well I surely do believe that long distance relationships can work. Mine did. My hubby and I met online - at a writing site. He was a moderator back then and the editor for a romance/love newsletter. He often included my work in his newsletter. And we corresponded and helped each other out when our relationships (not to each other) weren't working. We gave each other advice. After doing that for a few years, we realized that we were developing feelings for each other, so we decided that we should meet. We both had to drive about 3 hours to do that. About 3 1/2 years after we first "met" online and about 4 months after we met for real, we got married. And we've been married for 3 1/2 years now.

Your right about having to worry. I was in one once and when we had a hurricane hit and I didn't get to talk to him for two days, he cheated on me. All it took were those two days. I would never do it again if I could go back. I have my husband right here by my side. Like all relationships should be. Side by Side.

It depends on how long the distance is! Try me!

I don't believe long distance relationships actually work. I used to think that they would, but since I have had experience with one, I know they don't! How do you actually know what the person that is miles away is doing? Hey they may even be having an additional affair! They can tell you whatever you want to hear, but in actuality it could all be a lie. Just be extra careful if you are having a long distance relationship.

Well now, i have to believe it does because it is all i have right now. It is difficult yes, there are times that i really want to be around him and him around me but at this point of time it just not possible. There are times that i want to end it so as not to be dissappointed in the future. But when i think that i would miss him then, i change my mind and be content with what we have. But the truth is i am happy at least at the end of the day i know someone is waiting for me somewhere.

I don't believe either in long distance relationships.. I went through that and after 2 months I cheat on her.. is impossible to keep in mind to wait 2 or more years to a girl that is on the other side of the world.. I think that is best to put an end to the relationship before a travel.

i think i can try and live with this kind of relationship. i believe if heart is true it will never betray you. :) just have faith and be trusting.

It's not for everyone and if you are jealous it might be even more complicated for you. THere has to be a fair amount of trust involve - but also self confidence as well. But it can work too. I had a long term relationship with my husband before we got married. We were away from each other for a bit over 3 years and we had a chance to be with each other just 3 or 4 times during that period. We are quite far apart - let's say a whole ocean in between , 7 hour flight. This was a time before internet, emails and cell phones so even communicating with each other wasn't completely easy. Long distance calls were expensive and the time difference didn't help either. Still it worked for us. It really depends on the two people involved. Some will have a very hard time with this kind of relationship. Some will be able to handle it.

hi friend, iam not believe in have long distance relaationships. Because i want to saw all my important person in my life. take care.

Well Love isnt to fulfil your needs always remember that, And love based on a trust between two people. However i dont personally belive in trust nor do i trust anyone but there is an understanding or lets say its a limitation that no one would go across the limits if there is love Once love is forgotten one can do anything !

Long distance love affair is a big no, no! I am very attached to my hubby so just the thought of not seeing him for years would make me sick. Fortunately, hubby feels the same thing so no worries! =)

Well, I have to say I also don't believe in long distance relationship!!That's quite natural, I believe!! Such relationship won't last long...Of course, all has exception! It depends on how you two think of or deal with it.

well, i never believe in long distance relationship. It almost seemed unrealistic. Why wont u just get a normal bf/gf that u can talk to everyday face to face.

I think that it depends on what kind of person you are as to whether a long distance relationship would work for you or not. I don't think it could work for me, as I like the physical things that come with a relationship, like hugs and kisses, just as much as I like the psychological benefits like having someone to care for you and someone to rely on. Plus, with me being a paranoid person with regards to relationships, I would always be too scared about the fact that they would be able to cheat on me. I will admit that when I was in a long distance relationship I 'strayed' although I didn't realise that what I was doing was bad until after I'd done it, and it's this that makes me realise that you just can't trust someone enough if they're miles away from you.

hi fairygrl! well, i am into long distance relationship now for 2 1/2 years and for me at first i really have to adjust into many things like, no dates, i can't see him whenever i want to, we cannot celebrate any occasion like birthdays, anniversaries, parties etc.,but we i cannot do something about it cause i know he's working in other countries for our future and not for anything else.,and i personally understand it.,it is really hard but i have to accept it., right now, he'll be back now in our country and we'll gonna be each others arms again,.no more waiting.,i just hope everything will turn out good.,Ü wish me luck! have a wonderful day to you!

personly I would never do it its really dumb. Why would people want to be in long distances relatetionship when you have a better change on cheating on your parner and she wouldn't evening know. Its best to break-up so nobody get hurt.

I will admit that long distance relationships are not for everyone but it has worked out for me. I have been in a long distance relationship for the last 2.5 years and things are working out great for me. To be in a long distance relationship you have to have that trust as well as not be a jealous person. I trust my fiance that when he is gone for work he is there to work and yes I know that when he goes out with the boys (since most of them are single because of the job that they do) I know that he is still coming home to me. I trust him that he won't cheat on me and I love him for that. In your case because you are a jealous person of course it is not going to work for you. So I would suggest you not fall for a guy that is in the army/navy/military or someone that has to go away for work as you are going to be the jealous girlfriend that is always going to freak out on him.

I do, but unfortunately the person I'd want to go out with, doesn't. :s

I feel like you. I dont think I would work out in a long distance relationship. I need attention like you say. And I dont think I would feel secure, satified, or comfortable if I had to only communicate with my boyfriend over the telephone. I need one on one time with my man, and the phone just wouldnt cut it for me. lol

I just got out of my own long distance relationship. We dated for 9 months and then he convinced me to move in with him. After 2 weeks, I ended getting my own apartment because I could see it wasn't going to work. If two people are really meant for each other though, then a little distance isn't going to hurt.
