having a long distance relationship?

Long distance relationships can only survive if two persons are constantly in touch by some means like sms, chat, email, phone etc, Neglect on anyones side breaks the relationship. The moment communication gap increases, things start fading away. No relationship can survive neglect.Communication is the essential feature that too both ways not always one way.

Hmmm...I'm not really in a long distance relationship. But, I think that, I won't be able to survive that. I mean, I always want to see my boyfriend and be with him. So I'm definitely gonna have a hard time if I'll experience that.

I firmly believe it can be true. True or false it will totally depends on both parties. Key to success to a long distance relationship are; sincerity, beholden and one love. Its happening to me now since August 2007 and we don't find any problem, our marriage will be on Christmas 2010. She is also a myLot member and matter of fact, myLot was our first internet meeting point. We discern ourselves to work for the right financial planning towards that proposed marriage date. LOVE is LOVE, but without proper financial planning, our marriage life will be dull and disorientated.

I'm currently in a long distance relationship, we're not married yet but we had vowed that we will stick together. I guess the secret to work things out is constant communication and the affection with one another is not lost. Also, respect and faith with one another adds up to the bond to strengten the foundation of our relationship. At first, I'm scared that we wont work out but as years passed, our love strengten. Even he had to go back home once a year and be here for 2 weeks, that's not enough really to share our love with one another but we really understand our situation and it's for our own good for the future. I'm just hoping that we really end up with each other so that I wont undergo to the same process of having another love of my life.

We've been together for almost 2 years in relationship but if to consider from the time we know each other its been almost 4 years alredy..Today theres a lot of way to communicate with your loveone, and i think that's y even we're far our relationship is strong even stronger day by day.. we just met once a year..its just a matter of trust,loyalty and prayer to make your relation grow and will stay intact regardless of distance...

I am in a long distance relationship with my gf, but once thing is we have never met in person. We met online. I do think it would be extremely hard to have met the person and been around them and then try a long distance relationship. I love my baby :) very very much, she means the world to me and i would do anything to have her here with me. We live in different countries as well, she lives in the philippines while I live in the U.S. We get to talk about once a week now which is ok with me, because she worked a bad job before and now she is at home with her family and she is much better there. We have been together for 5 months and i have never been happier in my life. She is everything to me and i love her soo much. I would wait for her forever. We pray everyday that God will let us meet soon and we know that it will all be worth it when we meet.

If both people see each other now and then and they really fight, and I mean really fight, to make it work, then there is a chance that it might actually work, but in all honestly, long distance relationships rarely ever work and the reason for this is because people need real physical contact, without that contact you wonder what it is all for?

Hi yina Well i have been into a long distance relationship with my ex but it didnt worked out, reasons being lack of trust, i was mentally prepared for my breakup because i knew long distance relationship with him wont work. But in my present relationship i have been away from him say 3 months and thankfully it worked out really well. Its really to be in a distance relationship, but i knew m gonna be away fom my bf from say 3 or 4 months, and i really love him , so i made all my efforts to work it out. Secondly trust, you really cant do without it. You need too trust your partner fully, only then things can be good. Hope for the best Blessings

I had a long distance relationship before when I was in high school. We were dating for like 7 months already when he was asked by his dad to move to the states. Because we are so far from each other, out only way of communication was through the internet. We email everyday but then because we don't see each other we misinterpret and sometimes misunderstood what we wrote in our emails causing us to fight. I don't really suggest long distance relationships! -chery

I don't think it can work for a long time because then people make new friends and other things happen which they don't share together and start growing apart. It doesn't do for me either

i do...i meet my husband online...and our relationship long for 4 years b4 we got married...and now we are still in a long distance relationship as husband and wife...its not easy to have a long distance relationship but for now we have nothing to do with it...i fell/fall inlove to a guy who is halfway around the world from me...

I haven't had that kind of experience yet, but I just think from what I saw amongst my friends, Long distance relationship isn't really very difficult... What makes up a relationship is mutual LOVE, trust of partners and consistent communication... If those elements are present I doubt if the relationship wouldn't work out...

I knew my gf for about 6 months before she got a job in a game park as a ranger, we loved each other very much but the distance started to tear us apart. She eventually cheated on me and i found out from her friend that worked with her. After some time i managed to forgive her and took her back. It seems she changed from the experience for the better though. We now live together happier than ever and have put our issues behind us to focus on our future. On the 29th Of January 2009 we had our 30 month anniversary. :)

having been in this kind of situation twice, my answer might be a bit confusing. the first time didn't work out, but i'm pretty much hopeful for the current. despite the failure in the past which led me to believe that long distance relationships are definitely a waste of time, i have ironically fallen in love with a childhood crush who now lives in another country. now i'd like to believe that it might just work. i guess its really up to both parties concerned to make things work if they want it so bad. love isn't enough. Just like any other relationship, this requires not only love, but also faith, commitment, respect and a whole lot of trust to make it last. i think forever still is a possibility for us who take this chance. =)

A relationship will flower in its fullest bloom, if it is in close proximity. Distance is an impediment that mars the beauty of relationship. I believe in it.

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;)

Hey yina. I tried long distance relationship for twice in the past, but sadly either of them worked out. Yeah, at first we were both eager to see each other that we grab every chance we can to get together, you know, take the a train or take a long distance bus or train first and then bus if it's saving time. After two months or so, we got tired of all this running. We got friends of our own and we can't just save all the weekends or holidays for mere the two of us and we also had other schedules. I have to admit we loved each other truely and then we had to say goodbye coz both of us knew that's no future as we didn't want to give in our careers. Two relationships, the same ending. It takes only half a year, heehee. And currently my bf is still in another city, but it is very near from me, can't really be called long distance, aha. And we are both willing to give in the job for each other. So that matters. Love and willingness to give in the job or thing that stick yr lover in that certain place.

If you are truely in love with someone, it doesn't matter where they are in the world, it will work out. This world seems big but love takes a much bigger toll on you then anything. Never listen to your mind, listen to what your heart has to say and you will be all right. Long distance relationships are hard and sometimes seem impossible but like I said, if that is the person you commited yourself to, it'll work out in the end and eventually you will be together again. It's hard to not have them there to hold and hug everyday when you really need them, trust me I know, but just knowing that there is someone out there that loves you as much as you love them helps you through those hard times. Just make sure that person is in as much as in love with you as you are with them so you don't hurt your heart. Love is a beautiful thing but it definatly has a way of making a person feel not wanted and not able to do the things that they usually do. Love is patient though, always remember that!

wow its nice but we must carefully about having relationship with long distance cause we need to be patient, talk n share each other, understanding, care ,etc but love is pure

My relationship that I'm in right now started out long distance. In a way it was nice and special because it made those times when we did get to see each other a lot better. Now that we live together and see each other 24/7 I think part of that spark is gone. I don't think that I could do long distance forever. For us it was about 4 months, and that was long enough.
