long distance relationship

I guess because its just really different if your girlfriend/boyfriend is around. If its a long distance relationship, you could not cuddle, kiss, hug or do those intimate stuff that makes a relationship stronger. But hey, if a relationship is strong then it could go through any test and distance and time would not matter. I know a friend who went overseas to work for a couple of years and when she got back, the two of them got married. So they were able to keep their relationship strong despite the distance. It maybe rare but there are long distance relationships that actually work.

I love this discussion. My husband and i had a Long distance relationship when we were still gf/bf. I met him online. For me, fue factors that made our relationship strong and led to marriage are: constant communication (we chat online everyday), trust, honesty, respect, love, and faith. We are now happy being together as husband and wife.

I am in one, for the second time. The first one failed. And I am not sure whether the second one with a slightly different situation will work out or not. But I guess I must take a risk once again. We do not know. Different person, different relationship. Constant communication and trust are the ingredients to survive this kind of relationship. The first one I had lacks communication and so trust issues came out. Til it did not work out anymore.

Hi janebernal, I guess sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It really depends on the couple. If they really love each other, then they should nurture and commit to the relationship. They shouldn't be any "ifs". They should be faithful to each other and work things out by having a regular date. Dating today doesn't have to be meeting face-to-face. With skype, yahoo chat and so many apps, dating can be done anytime. But I think the most important part of a long distance relationship is to seal this love with a mutual agreement, i.e. getting married. A couple cannot have a long-distance relationship for the rest of their lives, one party must sacrifice and the woman must be prepared to do it because normally it is the wife who must follow the husband, although it is not always the case. So, I think it can be done but should not be done for too long. Happy mylotting!

Hi friend, Both trust and communication plays an important role in our life as well as relationship. We need both of them to maintain a good relationship for a long time. Trust and understanding will form a good relationship. Some times we are in need to miss our beloved ones due to various reasons like job, study purpose, going to abroad and so on at this kind of time we must have a proper trust about them as well as communicate with them using the technology items. In a long distance relationship communication is very important, since we are missing our beloved one and have a lot of trust and faith with them and interested in keeping touch with them to get their updates and share about our present status with them. The modern technology items like internet, cellphone and other gadgets will help us as a great intermediate and communication tool between us and our beloved persons. It is very hard to imagine a life without communication, since it is playing an important role to keep our relationship for a long time. Trust is also very important in long distance relationship. As our beloved person is far away from us and we don't have the ability to see him/her by face to face due to the distance. We can see them virtually using this technology devices, but we can't see them directly. At this kind of time, we must surely have a lot of trust and faith with our beloved person and believe them fully. If we are living far away from our beloved person, we must be loyal to them and fulfill their faith with our activities. Since we are committed, we must be loyal to the person whoever have trust with us to keep our relationship for a long time. In my opinion both trust and communication is having equal preference in long relationship. Without communication we don't know about the status of the person as well as without trust, it is hard to keep our relationship in a good manner. No one can change our mind and spoil our relationship if we have real and sincere love with our beloved person. This kind of sincere love will remain forever and distance is not a factor for it

I have had fee relationships before that were long distance and they all ended up as failures. Communication is a great factor in a relationship. But not only that. You also have to see each other often.personally. Touching/ hugging and cuddling with your partner always tend to refresh your feelings for each other.. They strengthen your connection and make you feel your possession for each other..thats why for me, long distance relationship is really hard and if.you really want your relationship to last, both of you have to work really hard to keep your loyalty alive and avoid breaking your lines of communication...

I don't think it's a good thing to do, but I suppose it is possible if there is an end date in mind. You can't have a real relationship forever online...it's not the same as in person, and you may find the person is different when you do finally get together. If you knew each other before and then have to separate for awhile it can definitely work, because you know it's worth committing too. If you have never met, and have no plans on every meeting...why compromise your other opportunities for something real that is nearby? Eventually you'd get tired of the fake relationship online. Yes, webcam and instant messaging can make it more real and help-but nothing is better than a real relationship in person! You can't cuddle your computer! Well, not very well anyways lol

Involving oneself in a relationship is a risk. you should be ready with any consequences that you are going to face in the future.that is just an ordinary relationship. what i mean is, they are together in one place. speaking of long distance relationship is one of the relationship to handle. I've been to that for 12 years. and so far I was able to handle it. you know it is just the agreement between and two of you. constant communication is needed to have strong relationship. you can avoid to tempted or to be link with other guys/ girls.honesty, loyalty, love,faithfullness and sincerity are the ingredients to a successful relationship.

Hi, Janebernal! I think, regardless of the technology that we have today, the relationship should be built with trust. No matter how far you are from your partner and for as long as you have that trust and pure love, you will be able to survive this kind of relationship.

I guess it will work out, if both parties are willing to sacrifice.

I guess if you really know the person, and love them it could work. i sure wouldnt want to have a long distant relationship. I know people here in Mexico whos husbands live and work in the usa. They only see them 1-2 months per year. I couldnt do that.

I don't have much experience about long distance relationship but I know one friend of mine who is in this situation. His boyfriend is in AUstralia. THey ended breaking up to each other. It's started as good but ended up so bad. They don't communicate with each other anymore. I think the guy gave up first. I will experience long distance relationship too. Soon, if my boyfriend will pursue working abroad as a nurse. That is one of his dream and I don't want to hinder that because I don't want him to be far from me. I will just accept it I think. And I think it will not be easy for me. :(

I've been in a long distance relationship with my first husband but unfortunately it didn't turned out right. on our first few weeks he still has his time for our once in a week chat online but when time pass by he became busy with playing his dota which causes us to always fight. After a year he never give financial support to us even to our daughter. For which we just separated. I Think for a relationship to last long even from a distance you and your partner should have a regular communication everyday even how busy each other. You still have a time to talk about everything. To say hi how's your day? I think will be fine. Specially today we have lots of ways how to get in touch with our love one's abroad. So, there's no reason for you/ your partner have to say that he/she can't reach you or can communicate with you.

how far is far?. that is one of the questions to be considered.is it north-pole to south-pole?. country to country?.. do they still have the chance to see each other once in a while?. while some says, distance makes the heart grow fonder, it isn't true for everyone. in physics, as the distance increases, the force of attraction decreases. but you know, despite everything, this will have to depend on how the couple manages it. formula?. it really just need a little more trust and an unconditional love.. if this is your case, i hope you'll find courage to try it ..stay in love .. :)

Well it will all be depended on how strong the bond between the partners of course. No matter how advance the technology is for them to stay connected if one would lose to temptation then I guess they are doomed to be broken because of distance. The real test for this for them to survive this is to be sure they have a strong bond where love and trust would not degrade as distance go farther.

Well, even though I might be excluded from your discussion, as in 37 years, I have never yet been involved in a relationship, I would still say my opinion. In a long-distance relationship, of course, the technology keeps us "neighbors", thanks to social networking, to video conferencing and more. But there is one thing that if it fails, the whole thing falls like a house of cards. It is faithfulness! The two who are husband and wife or an engaged couple must remain faithful to all modes. And here I close, because I do not know what else to say.

For me, a long distance relationship can't be accepted despite i know there are many successful cases that a couple got married finally with a long distance away. But i think it's very hard and suffering. So why i have to choose this situation? If i love a girl, i would consider together with her all the time. I can give up all to togehter with her.

I think it's possible and it depends as usual on how things work out between the two people. There have been successes and many failures. It all depends on how somebody makes it.

If you have faith in your partner any kind of relationship can become and successful.I think it's the primary formula for any kind of relation...

I don't think that will work out with any solutions because when you in a long distance relationship no matter what one or the other says it still gonna be that doubt because yall never built that trust with eachother as you would in marriage meaning if I hook up with a girl and she's in California and I'm in Florida and someone tries to holla etc at them and you say some she gonna be like I know he lying.but it all boils down to trust
