Can distance relationships really work?

Nope i would say this can happen in rarest of rare case. One cannot get in love just through internet. That's just the feeling that makes you happy when you talk to the person. But when the same person in front of you and wants to be with you 24*7 then the case is diffrnt. Give it a shot but don't fall much into it. It might work for you but if it doesn't you will suffer :)

It can work...IF you are committed, devoted, and have talked extensively about how to make it work for BOTH of you. For me, I didn't have that long talk with my ex. I let him have freedom because I felt guilty about not being able to be with him. Ultimately, this was my undoing. Even though, we were both totally in love with each other...we drifted apart over time due to the distance. HOWEVER, don't be totally discouraged. I started off saying that it can work because I've seen it. My cousin married her high school sweetheart last year after being four hours away from him at college for four years. They were always in love, committed, talked constantly, and visited often. They found a way to make it work for both of them, so it's completely doable. Best of luck to you in your new relationship!

Well, I would have to say that I was in a long distance relationship and yes it was hard. And actually I would have to say that we are now married. Long distance relationships only work if you are willing to work at it and make sure that it last. If you think that this is something that you do not want or not willing or don't think that you will have the time to work on it to keep the relationship then it would be best to break it off. This is something that you would have to think about and decide on your own. Since going to school or well you said you would be going back to school, then maybe you would not have the time to work on a long distance relationship. But to say long distance relationships can work out and it just depends on how hard the people that are in the relationship willing to work on it.

well,i would say that you should first give it a shot and then think about it. instead, if you are thinking that it will not work in the beginning itself may not be a good idea. i know that it can get difficult, but give it your best before giving up on it.

If you wanna break up purely just to focus on your education. Thats is understandable. If that is not the case and your heart is really with him and his with you. Pls fashion out ways to stay intouch. It could be by sending him regular mails and Calling him on phone. He deserves all these if you know he trully love you. As per TRUST- cheating on you because of distance. Pls dont get yourself bother with all that. Pls just blindly trust him even though you know he is cable of doing it.

I am in a long distance relationship and we have made it work, but not consistently. We somehow break up and then manage to always get back together. It hurts yes but we know we can do it. We love each other to pieces, and we don't know what we would do without each other. We're always there for each other. I think if you really love this person, not necessarily in-love persay but just love, and a connection I think it may work. Don't give up just because it's long distance. It's hard but you can do it. It's not impossible.

I think that long distance relationships can work. Right now my boyfriend is in another country...well he's deployed right now and we are making it work because we know he has no choice but to be away from me. I think when it comes to long distance relationships it takes a lot of work to keep going.

Distance relation is ok for the start. But every relationship demand face to face meeting after some time. You want to see the person from whom you talk daily. from whom you share everything. So, if distance relationship has those face to face meeting then it will not only work, you might find it more effective then the normal relationship. otherwise, it started to dual out, since you can't convince your heart about something you don't see. And your trust spoils

It is some thing like asking which of the two is better? A known devil or unknown devil? First do your job in hand and finish it to the best of your ability that is finish your studies and then try to stand on your own feet. These things will never vanish from the face of the earth. So don't worry about it now.

Long distance relationship works now. We have the advanced technology in the upswing. Gone are the days when you still have to write a letter to your loved one and it takes days or even months for it to reach him. Now we have the internet mail, chat , phone, text. All one needs to do is to JUST DO IT. It will all depend on the two of you. If you are both committed, not matter how much hurdles got in the way, it will succeed.

can a long distance relationship really work? That is up to you. Let me explain what i mean. men and women whom are married to persons in the military make long distance relationships work all the time. the key area of a relationship are communication, exspectations, future goals and desires and things we must have. this are areas that you and you spouse should talk about. Ask question like will you use email and cell phone to communicate? What do you exspect from each other with you are apart? do you want an open realtionship meaning you can date other people or not? Don't be affraid to be blunt when you have this talk. Long distanst can make a relationship better or worse. time a part can make you miss things about you loved one. it could be a good thing but ever one is different and its all in what you can handle. Happy back to school
