How lasting is the "Long distance relationship ?"

hi bashful87 ..well my Boyfriend and i are now on the Long distance relationship..after 6 years we usually being together sharing our moments, great opportunities, I'm about two months already here working abroad, but its hard at first that the person are separated by distance...any means COMMUNICATION should have, thanks to skype, fb...we get connected as always..While on the Long distance relationship, the two people should always a TRUST TRUST whatever happens, and need to be strong for the new chapter of the relationship, new challenges may arise.

Most long distance relationships are hard to maintain but it just to test your patience, I think. I am in one as well and it's been that way for over 2 years now. We're fine so far and I think it's because we love each other...it's just the love. We'd talk everyday mostly on yahoo, over the phone, send each other emails...and just talk about our days.

Yes believe that long distance love affair or relationship will last forever if you really inlove and both can understand why they are away in this moment. My measurement about this is unlimited and no boundaries that is why i believe so much. A long distance relationship requires a strong heart, more patience and stay connected with him no matter what...Thanks and have a nice day...!

Long distance relationship is very difficult thing to maintain. I think both of the sides should be very persistent on doing it and love each other very much to wait till they see each other in person. A relationship on the phone/internet can be very boring sometimes and the thing you do is talk all the time. If you call the other person every day you may not have much to talk for. Mainly it depends on the people and how much they want to maintain some kind of relationship whether they are friends or lovers. Happy MyLotting :)

Currently I'm in a long distance relationship. It is very hard to maintain but it really depends on the resolve or love of the person. I really love my girlfriend now that is why I never try to cheat her. We are far away now and I hope that we will be together in the future.

hi:) I think it's alright,but not easy at all, they just need to trust each other and have a good communication, and if they are not married yet maybe it's better if they get married before the man go abroad,that's the best security she can ask from his boyfriend.

I'm not really sure because i myself have never been in a long distance relationship before. But you are right. It's better to be bitter now and then we can enjoy our lives later. How long have your friend and her boyfriend been together? Perhaps you need to ask your friend what are her view that she have of her boyfriend? If she find that he is the husband material, then it would definitely be worthwhile to wait for him and to give him the trust and support that he need. However, if she is still not yet considering him for marriage, then it's another story. Another point to note would be that if they are able to go through this test together and at the end when this guy come back for your friend, i believe their relationship will be even more stronger.

it's better for your friend since they already have a relationship developed even before they went long distance. i had 2 long distance relationships before. i can say both ended because of lack of communication. to endure the distance is quite easy to do as there are a lot of ways to fill that but when one fails to communicate further, everything just stops there. i hope they find time to talk it out between the how to work out their time differences and they should set communicating a priority in their relationship. to me, it is more important than love or trust.

Currently, I am in a relationship in which she lives far from me, not another country or an extremely long distance, but it is far and we cannot see each other as often as we would like. It is hard, especially trying to resist the temptations of cheating... The thing is, if you love a person, distance does not matter so much, although it hurts to be away from your loved one, for the sake of seeing each other again, you have to be strong and resist the pain. Just one more thing. If their relationship falls apart just because of the distance, then it may be better that way since maybe they wouldn't had been able to overcome other obstacles that might come between them.

hello bashful..i am also in this kind of relationship,my boyfriend is abroad and he's gone 9 months every year..you're right with your advice to your friend..trust,patience and love is important but the most important thing is communication..its really up to them on how to keep their relationship strong,but she needs to remember those 4 things..she also needs God's guidance to keep her and her boyfriend away from temptations.. being far from each other is not a hindrance to keep a strong and lasting relationship..let your friend remember that..
