Does long distance relationship work?

Well,first ,if you love and trust each other then nothing can stop you loving each other.Dont make any rule in love ,just call her when you miss .But if you had some problems like she is not happy or sick or just need but you are not beside ,then you have to try your best to make her happy just let her feel you are with her ,never ever let her feel that she is still alone . The most important things are trust and understandings.Try to avoid quarreling and misunderstanding. Best wishes to your long distance love.

My best friend and her husband were friends long before they were lovers. They started their relationship after my best friend's husband went overseas to work as a nurse. They were in a long-distance relationship for two years before they finally decided to tie the knot. I guess long-distance relationships can only work if you have spent enough time with each other before you had to be apart. You should have had enough time together to get to know each other. Communication is important. I'd try to get a sense of how my partner feels whenever he calls. Is he eager to talk to me? Or does it seem like he can't wait for our conversation to end? I'd also consider his schedule. Maybe he has a demanding job. He could be working hard to prepare for our future together. Text messaging is fine as long as it done regularly. It is my assurance that he doesn't forget about me. But if he seems to be reluctant when he texts, that would be a bad sign.

I think that it can work if both members in a relationship want to work it out. And if it does work out, for sure that will bring both members even closer to each other. I believe that true love can overcome anything and if they truly love each other then it can work out.

Yes,i believe it always work very wel.but it depends on both partners taughts & feelings,at least u need trust,faithful,kind & u most everyday communicate these activate the mind thinking

It worked for me, me and my long distance boyfriend were together for 2 and a half years. It worked and now he is my lovely husband.

long relationships work. it depends on how you manage them. you need to communicate, though. it's the most important thing. it was said that the best thing that you can give to the person you love is TIME. if your partner does not make time to communicate with you, then there has to be a problem. but if he has been away for work or studies, i think you should be more understanding and considerate. who knows your partner is also thinking the same thing at the end of his line. another thing that you should also exercise in your relationship is TRUST. doubting would never help. aside that it doesn't get anything fixed, it will only make you feel miserable. in the end, you are the one losing the battle. it's not that you lose between you two, it's that you lose to yourself. cheer up! believe that you have everything that he needs. and if the relationship has to end, it's his loss not yours. as a christian, the most important thing is to PRAY. through prayer and meditation to the Word you will know if the relationship is bound to forever or if you need to let it go already.. hope you find love within yourself..

well it depends on how trusted the partners are!! they are not supposed to talk daily or text messaging daily as each one has its own stuff to do..but, they should have trust & respect... honestly speaking; any relationship could possibly break if there is no trust in between! it doesn't matter if it is a long or short distance as long as there is a trust & respect for this relation to go on!! like for instance, I don't expect myself to contact him daily & he should not expect me to contact him daily as well, yet, we should have self confidence that our love is based on trust & respect...

I believe that a long distance relationship can work. It may take a little more effort from both sides. Absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder. Sometrimes this is true. other times it is not. No amount of distance should separate your love from your special person. If you are committed, it will work out.

I am not into long distance relationship because I see that myself is not into that. I am a passionate person so I dont know how will I be passionate if he is away from me. Until such time comes, I am in a relationship now and we are thousand of miles away from each other. At first I believe that I am not into this thing, but I end up myself into long distance. Now I am really trying very hard to convince myself that our long distance relationship would really work out. As I would like to work this out. Its true that as long as both parties love and trust each other every thing will be ok. As long as you have set schedules for your conversation and you made it to a point that you are going to understand both sides and not so be jealous. Its really hard on my part, I dont know how to express myself into words or talking. But the good thing is that he just made it understand I guess. We are not more than 3 yrs now and hopefully counting many more years with each other.

Hey. I've said this before and I'll say it many times again. TAKE IT EASY But...... TAKE IT. A relationship is ALWAYS worth continuing as long as there is hope that you will enjoy it. It doesn't matter how much effort you put into it. It doesn't matter how long you wait if you WANT to wait. It doesn't matter if it is "considered" a relationship or not. It doesn't matter how often you talk. Wait ! Are you asking because if it IS a relationship then you are not allowed to start ANOTHER relationship ? And if it ISN'T a relationship then you ARE allowed to start another one ? Well I have good news for you. You CAN start ANOTHER relationship WHENEVER you want. You DON'T have to wait. UNLESS the relationship is going VERY well and there are no questions like the one you're asking. And even IF the relationship IS going well. The idea that you are allowed only one relationship at a time has lost it's value. ENJOY life as much as you can. OK ? As long as you don't HURT anyone else. Tell everyone that you are now free and are not willing to be committed to only one person at a time.

It can work if both the ends have a desire to love each other. If there's only one way traffic, then I fear the relationship's going to end some day. Suppose I am trying to maintain the relationship from my end only. I am sending text messages, emails, letters, telecalling and I get poor response or no response, the natural thing I will do is eventually I will stop all that crap and be busy with my own work. However busy the person at other end is, anyone would respect him to atleast respond me at a ratio of 4:1.

Long distance relationship is hard to maintain.But nowsday is different with communication technology like webcam,skype,msn,email and others things making the distance closer with the digital technology.However, far from eye, scare the heart will wander away and not faithful . Long distance relationship really test the loyality of the couples.

i was waiting for this discussion to arise and it finally did..hehehe.. well,we've survived almost 6 months of being apart from each other and i know we can still make it up to the time when we will see each other again. we have different time zones and we have different schedules of our day-to-day activities but yet we manage to have a simple conversation at the end or start of our days. its all worth it when you know that the one you're waiting for is the one you truly love and the one who loves you back. how long, well only time can tell. you just have to be patient and always keep that communication between you and your partner. we made an agreement that despite our busy schedule, one of us should be able to leave even a simple message in our email. sometimes, we argue but we make sure that at the end of the day, we would settle things out. it doesnt have to be 10 messages or so, as long as you can still feel the sincerity and the determination that your partner is also excited about that day you'll be seeing each other again. trust is also one important factor that you should have in your relationship. i hope im talking some sense here..^_^ anyways, God bless to your LDR...=)

its impossible for your long distance relationship work . not because you are far from each other but because you communicate less.. a partner needs to talk everyday of their lives cos they are partners. u see my point? once a week is not enough even text messaging once or twice is not enough.. try to communicate more often and u will know that it is not impossible for a long distance relationship work.

ok going to keep this real. i dont belive in long distance relartionship at all. ive seen to many that didnt work and a small percentage that did work. to me how do you know what the other person is doing, now i am talking about if you never met, and its off the net kind of thing. i couldnt trust anyone i met off the net and have an relationship with them. now if you two been together for along time, and they just moved away then its a different story. it have to do with trust.

Long distace relationship works for some and not for others. I know, i have been into it. And its all worth the wait. BUT!! Being in a Long Distance Relationship is different when u guys dont communicate that much. Thats the whole point of having a relationship right? To communicate! No matter how near or far you are you guys NEED to communicate. Now, if you feel your the only one doing the effort to reach out to him. I think thats a problem. Think twice.

Once a week to talk is impossible to maintain a durable relationship, it demands lots of time and togetherness to have a healthy relationship, we need to meet, to talk, to feel each other while holding hands so long distance relationship to me seems quite a difficulty to have a good bond.

i think both partners should make the effort at communication especially in a long distance relationship. if it seems that it's one-sided then it might be a signal that the other party is getting cold.

well if you really love your partner there no time limit to wait for him and as long as you are both trusting each other and there's no third party then it is still worth waiting for.

I am not really a fan of long0distance relationships. I don't like it because it is simply not for me. I like to be with the one I love always and see him if possible everyday. However, if the person is worth the wait, then go for it. If you really love each other and are willing to wait for one another, go on. But if you are the only one who is making the effort to make the relationship work, it is simply not worth it. It should be mutual, you two should be working together to keep the relationship going no matter how far you are from each other. Communication is important with a long-distance relationship. You must always let your partner know and assure him/her that everything is still going fine between the two of you. Once a weel call or text is only acceptable if you or your partner is working 5 jobs a day. You should always find time for your partner.
