Being in a relationship could be fun. But sometimes, couples need to be apart because of other circumstances like one of them needs to work overseas or need to study abroad. If you are in that situation, are you willing to give lobg distance relationship a try or just end it up to avoid the heartaches later on?

To me, it depends on how long you have been together and how much trust you have for each other. With the job my husband just got he does have to go out of town at times, but we have been married for 8 years so I know he would not do anything to hurt me! So, I can definitely handle it.
Now, if we were only dating and together for a short time I would not bother with the relationship if it had to be long distance... They rarely ever work in this situation! You don't have the trust factor and the love is not as strong yet... I would not do it but its personal choice too.

I agree with you. But sometimes even married couple are having this dilemma.What if temptation and homesickness kicks in?Sometimes, because of the distance the love they feel for each other recedes that eventually push one of them to file for annulment or divorce. :-(

My husband and I have been through being Homeless together and losing 2 children together. If that did not break us apart NOTHING will. =)

If you've been through that situation and passed it successfully, yeah I think distance won't be a hindrance to your relationship. God bless you both.

For my boyfriend and I a long distance relationship has been worth it. We've been together for 2 and a half years and this past May he left for the army. I've seen him twice since he left and now he's deployed to Korea for a year. We talk every day and that really helps make us feel better. It's worth it for us because we already loved each other so much before he even left that we didn't even think twice about whether or not we should stay together. We just automatically assumed our relationship would continue no matter where we were. So far it has. It's hard being without him all the time but I know one day we'll get to be together every day and that's what will make the wait worth while.

Modern technology is a great help to couples, families and friends separated by distance. It makes the world a smaller place to live in my opinion. :-)

When I as younger, and my boyfriend was about to go to College, he needed to go to different city. And I guess since I was still young and I was not that serious about the relationship, I told him that it's better for us to just part ways for good. I know that I have hurt him, but I just didn't want to have that kind of set up in a relationship.
Now that I am mature, granting that I am still single, I think I would remain in the relationship even if it would take months for us to be together again. Mature love sees mo boundaries. Love should be full of hope. And with that, both should have full trust and a strong commitment to make the relationship stronger even if they are million miles apart.

Realizations in past experiences are very important, it makes the person we are today.

Everything is worth trying unless you won't give it a try. There are no quarantees for nothing you do or decide in your life.

Yes that's true. Every relationship is a test of patience and how far can you go for it. If your doesn't succeed in the distance test, may be because the love is not that strong. Failed relationships leaves with life lessons that we can apply next time we get into the same situation.

Yes I think that is a worth trying. A long distance relantionship isn't a rela relationship. This is my opinion. It's about a lot of feelings, emotions and a lot of more things that you never live together. What is the sens ? I try and my conclusion is that it's a big failure

In my views long distance relationships can not stable for more times. It is very needed that spend time together in a relationship. Long distance relationships needed high rating trust between you and your partner that can be it stable but though I don't believe it. It's may be.
