Do you believe in long distance relationship? Do they really work out in real life just like how it all ends in a movie?

I attempted a few long distance relationships and I have to say from my experiences they never worked out because for me I need quality time and physical touch. I need to be able to hug and kiss the one I love and hold his hand from time to time. I need to see his face while we talk and what his expressions are to different topics. Talking on the phone and via the internet just isn't enough.

I've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries;).

It does work man... but just like any relationships, it need a considerable amount of effort to pull it off. Good luck on it.

It depends to the persons involved in the relationship. If they are working hard to make the relationship work despite the distance, it will work. I think, the best way to keep a relationship working is communication - be it a phone call, text message or email. Although there are a few instances that I know, where relationships break due to distance, I feel that it happened because they did not give an effort to keep it. I think trust is also important in a relationship, more of it must be given to each other if they are apart.

I was in a long distance relationship off and on for about four years. We kept breaking up and getting back together, and I date other people throughout the time we were together. I loved him very much, and I still love him, and I think we would have worked out in the end were it not for one thing: the distance. It was just too hard to be together when we each had our separate lives and separate activities that did not include one another. No matter how much time we made to talk to each other, I still felt cut off from him. Eventually we broke up for good, though we still talk to each other and are very close friends. I have a new boyfriend now, but my ex will always have a special place in my heart. It was distance and nothing else that caused the relationship to end, and I don't think that it is possible for long distance relationships to last unless there is certainty that you won't be separated forever.
