Do you believe in long-distance relationship?

Hi! This happened to me too though we tried to continue the relationship even if we're far from each other. We keep our communication open and we talk on the phone for hours during our free time. We text from time to time to update ourselves on what we're up to. For few months it run smoothly. Sometimes, he would go to my place to visit me once in two or three months as long as he gets his vacation approved. We would sometimes arranged travels so we can spend quality time together but it still didn't work out. We decided to end up the relationship for the same reason: long distance relationship doesn't work. The distance is really difficult to cope up. Even if we keep our communication lines open, I still feel like we were not going to a more serious stage/part of our relationship because we're apart. However, I suggest that you don't base things on whether long distance relationship worked out for others or not. Even if mine didn't work out, I have no regrets about it. We both tried out best to make things work but it just didn't. Maybe we weren't really meant for each other. As for you, you might want to give it a shot. I have a friend whose boyfriend is in the military and keeps getting relocated within the country. I can even count the times in a year they get to see each other. Communication is difficult for them too because militaries are normally aissgned in remote places and here in the Philippines, most mountainous areas are out of reach so it's really difficult for them to communicate often. Their relationship work out though. I'm not sure exactly how they handle it but they're still together now and are happily inlove. They are even planning to tie the knot. I guess that cliche doesn't work for everyone. Happy myLotting!:)

long distant relationships are always hard to keep going. it just depends on how committed each person is. a long distant relationship can put a lot of strain on everyone but you asked if trying is a good option....well if you both don't believe in a long distant relationship then I don't really see the point in trying BUT if you still love them and feel you need them or that something is missing then yes I would try. it really comes down to what your heart wants. follow your heart yes you may get hurt in the end but it is better to say you tried than to wounded what if. all your life...

If you've been dating for a while already before the relationship goes long distance, I think it's worth a try. I've been with my boyfriend almost 3 years and right after our two year anniversary he left for the Army. He's currently stationed in South Korea and I haven't seen him since the beginning of October and I probably won't see him until May. When he found out where he'd be going he never had any doubts about staying together in a relationship. We try to skype as much as we can until we can see each other again. It's hard and I miss him everyday, but when you love someone you'll do anything to be with them.

You broke up just because you did not believe in long distance relationship? It seems so easy, just like it is an on and off light switch. I wonder how people can give up somebody that one loves so deeply, unless of course, it is not really that deep. I don't know. For me, I would have migrated anywhere where my love is, even if I have to start all over again in my career. Anyway, long distance relationship although is not easy, it is not too hard like 10 years ago as we have Internet and smartphone to enable us to communicate and even see each other. The only difficulty is that there is no physical contact but that is the only thing that long distance relationship lacks. And with the popularity of cheap airfare nowadays, one can easily travel to meet on a monthly basis, if not weekly. All in all, if the love is really strong, you will surely find a way for both of you to be together. The separation is but temporary.

I think you could try it for some weeks, and see if you can hanbdle it. After you can break up if you can't.

it needs alot of commitment and trust ofcourse with true love.i dont personally like it much because love is like a delicate growing baby you need to see and watch it grow not hear about it on the phone,but if you are sure of your feelings then work on it and this should be because you will settle in one place soon.

I believe that if you both feel a great bond between you, then distance should not be a question. Why give up on a beautiful relationship if you one needs to be in a farther place? There is such a word as SACRIFICE.

Hi! Long distance relationships are sometimes successful, it depends very much on how determined the couple is to keep this relationship. However, there is an old saying "Far from the eyes, far from the heart", and many supersticious couples just break up because their faith in this relationship fails. I personally tend not to believe in such distance relationships, because I can't really get to know someone well if I don't have the opportunity to live with him before, for example, we get married. Many couples get married after not actually being together and they basically later marry a stranger. And the marriage eventually suffers from it. It is quite dangerous, I think.

Hi ckayth Hi friend in my view any relation is good and possible when we have faith and understanding between both .I will say it is hard but not impossible to maintain relation ,If you both have decided to stand strong on your decision then it is fine , if you both are comfortable with that .If not i suggest you both to be in touch and look for a better solution.

Yes, long distance relationship is very hard and challenging. If you two are in love, I think you can work with it. Try to communicate with each other as often. I am in a long distance relationship right now and I believe that everything will be ok and we will stay strong despite on the distance.

For a relationship to work, you need to be loyal. If one partner is across the country, each of them need to sacrifice. For some, it is not possible. Being from each other, they will face a lot of challenges. It could never be desirable for those who cannot understand the reason of being left behind. If a person is so emotional, including paranoia; it will lead to rocky relationships.

I partly believe in long-distance relationship. Partly because for me it depends on what type of relationship do you have with your partner. I firmly believe that long-distance relationships could work out for married couples because it's beyond romance that bonded them together, especially if they already have kids. However, if we talk about just having a boyfriend-girlfriend long-distance relationship, then this time, I don't think that long-distance relationship will work in this kind of situation. I don't know but of all the long-distance relationships I've known from my friends, none of those worked out.. I think it's better to just break up before then rather than expecting for something to work out and just end up hurting each other. But I also have this tiny feeling that maybe sometimes it would work, it all depends on the couple's persistence to have fight for each other despite the big wall of distance between them..

its works but really a lot of extra effort, extra patience, full of communication such as texting and call and full packed of trust. as of now I'm currently with a long distance relationship and we see each other at least once or twice a month it's been almost 2 yrs and were still together, it depends how strong is your foundation from your relationship supposedly both partners are understanding and lots of sweetness to stay together and always making communication to work things out ;)
