How to manage a long distance relationship?

Long distance relationship doesnt work at all..... sooner or later they break up... I knew a few frens who were in long distance relationships......but in a yr or two they broke up.. coz its hard... its either one person loses interest like forget to call on birthdays... or cheating behind his/her back..

Well it depends on a lot of things actually...First off their ages AND whether or not they are on the same page with how they feel about each other...Its all fine and well for him to be crazy about her but is she crazy about him too?? IF they are on the same page/feel the same way...making a long distance relationship is very possible but it takes alot of work, trust, honesty and incredible communication....I'm in a long distance relationship with my bf and was with my hubby before we got married...The hubby lived here in NY and I was in Canada and I dont drive but he would make a point of coming over often...The bf however is in PA..now that I'm in NY its STILL a long distance relationship but we talk on the phone, try to communicate as best as possible and we work it out when issues do arise..I also go to see him as often as possible too which sadly isnt nearly enough but better than not at all..

well first of all i would ask you to advice your friend to make up his mind...whether he really loves this girl or not? cos once you say that you love some one and you are crazy about this person then there is a certain amount of trust that comes along with it..... and the way your friend is thinking about her going around and cheating behind his back..that means there is no trust and so there is no love.... but its ok to have this fear ....it comes as an added problem with the long distance relationship ..... a long distance relationship isnt easy at all.... trust got to be there.... you also have to know the person very well too for that kind of trust to come..... if he doesnt know that girl for too long then i think he should have a tlak with her about this and ask her what she wants to do regarding this situation.... if she tells him that it would be better if they broke up that means she was never really serious with him... but if she convinces him to carry on teh relationship and asks him to trust her then tell him to continue it and also to trust her..... i am also in a long distance relationship and its kinda cool .... i trust him with all my heart and he does too.... i know he would never ever cheat on me and i wouldnt for the whole world too !! thats trust

I think this is a classic problem, a lot of pair have this problem. I ever had this problem too. Many people can handle this problem until they married, but many people failed to handle this problem, including me. Of course you can find out the solve of this problem by give trust each other, but it's not so easy. Too many various other problem that you will find in your relationship. You have to be strong and of course she is too. In this era, you can still keep in touch both of you with technology now, you can use chat by YM and can still contact with mobile phone. I think there's no reason to break her now, you can keep in touch and of course don't forget always send gift love by your mobile phone everyday.

Love know no distance, it defies geographical locations. Well, on an ideal realm, the above is applicable. However, there are things that we need for practical reasons. We need a hug, we need a kiss, we need a shoulder to cry on. These are being impacted with long distance relationship. Maintaining such relationship is workable but extremely difficult. It takes a lot of unconditional love, trust, and understanding. But again, workable. Maximizing communication touchpoints will help too - phone, internet, webcam, etc. Good day!

really its like sarcasm.and fanticising.because.both of them milef of distance and but still influence each others,and wanna improve their relationship so i hope in this case what almost neede is to have a strong commitment and confidense........... so i like to really appreciate.the guy and girl for having such a ever lasting relation ship among each other.............. i too had this kind of relation in my inter also..and i was like.a man digging holes and giving work to my legs wen i ever i encounter girls in front me.i feel like shame and inconvenient.and donot like to h ave ...............them in my life......... but all at a sudden i came to observe a decent and gorgeous and simple appearing girl.whom i have seen her in our college and fell in love at first site........... so ........i like feling of being in loveeeeee

Not all people are made for long distance relationships. It takes a great person to make that work. I have been involved in that type of relationship and all I can say is that it's really tough. I don't want to discourage anyone, but there's going to be a lot of rough rides on that type of relationship. If they're still early in the relationship, then I guess it would be better if they just remain friends or something. I think it doesn't work if it's too long though. They should at least have a plan to be together and not just once a year. Yet, I guess it could work, provided that they communicate a lot and they're really ready for it. Otherwise, it would really be complicated. Mine is on the rocks right now because I caught him cheating. I'm not yet sure what's going to happen, but I'm pretty sure that it would take a miracle for things to be better. But I'm still hoping it does. It's really difficult to love someone so much and let distance separate the both of you. It's tough, but I don't think it's impossible.

Man! I sesly dont knw wuts wid people in long distance relationship. Well me and my girlfriend meet 1ce in 2 months. Or sometimes even not that much. Its basically just about trust and faithfullness. If these two issues are taken care of, then theres nothing that can stand in your way. Thats all i can say

Ya i see,me too am involved in long distance relationship and i dont think love knows any relationship but for the two persons to know each other we most be close and everybody likes to maintain a close relationship and it looks good and nice but when things are hard, and if girl cheats boy, or a boy cheats girl is not love and is all crazy nothing to do about this

it is really up to the person if he can manage the situation. because let's face it the temptation is everywhere so if you can resist all those temptation then long distance relationship will work for you. it also depends on how much you love your partner that you're willing to wait for her/him for the time that both of you can be together. i been in lot of long distance relationship before and i can say that i didn't work for me.

i happen to have a long distance relationship since start my bf is a seaman and we have only few days to be with together mostly we are far from each other, he only text and calls me if he have time so our relationship is okey for me the important is you have trust with each other being near always is useless if you have no trust.
