I'm into a long distance relationship. Inspite of our desire to be together, it can never be due to work. However, we manage to meet twice a year. It's both our first time to be in this situation and we are both doing our best to give time, but it's really hard. We're afraid it won't work. Can you help us?

hi!There's no such thing as long distance if there's true love. Love can move mountains, no matter what it takes, no matter how difficult, no matter how impossible. I believed God is in your midst and He will bless your relationship if you will also place Him at the center. God bless!

hi there. first of all, if both of you do love each other, you'll keep on finding ways for your relationship to work out. i suggest that both of you should never think about your relationship negatively since it's already a complicated situation. it's best to try your best to maintain your communication rather than perceiving in mind that it won't just work because if that's what both of your minds conceive, it will really happen. so if you don't want to let go of each other, keep on sacrificing and remember to TRUST each other, if trust is never a problem to both of you well it's a must that either one of you do not take advantage of it, because once you failed to do something wrong, trust is difficult to earn back. communication, trust, sacrifice and hope will keep both of you warm and will keep your relationship strong no matter how far you may both be apart. see you around! :)

sorry wrong grammar: that should be "...well it's a must that either one of you do not take advantage of it, because once you failed to do something RIGHT..." instead of "wrong". :P

Love, honesty and trust has to be very strong. Continue consistence communication no matter how busy you get. It will not be easy but if you work towards it in the long run it will be well worth it. Good luck and wish you both the best.

I do not know that I could actually be in a long distant relationship as I would from time to time need my partners should to cry and be comforted. However, it is not impossible when in love. Thanks for commenting, and I see you are new so a warm welcome to you.

Who told you that long distance relationship won't work. So saw many people stay away from their lover but they love each other to much. I also stay away from my house for my profession. But I every fell alone and miss my wife and child though there are many people around me; I think if you love each other distance does not matter. I think if you meet with your lover twice in a year that is enough.

hello, Wow! really amazing , Actually I never got into that situation but maybe it is depends on both of you if you gonna work it out or not. Sometimes if you super miss each other their will comes a fight ,but don't give up on any problem that you will encounter. If you didn't give each other so much time that doesn't mean that you dont love each other or you will not survive for this relationship, as long as you are holding each other. You just need a trust and patience for your relationship. Okay. wishing you the best. GOOD LUCK

hello there, blue_servant. yes, it will work out just fine as long you have faith to each other. always have a open communication as possible. and don't let silly things will come into your way. trust each other. If trust is always present, your relationship will push thru.and give each others space as always.

Thanks for your response. I hope we could really make things work for us always.. Giving space allows us also to miss each other more =).. And I like it that way.
