HELP with Long Distance Relationship

Long distance relationship may work in some very rare cases but in many cases, it does not. For it to succeed, I believe faithfulness is the number one key. But who could be faithful in the midst of loneliness and temptation. Temptation is all around so at anytime it strikes and one is unable to resist, that will surely ruin the relationship. It is so hard to maintain a long distance relationship. Maybe for a time it will work but if being separated becomes too long, chances are one of them will grow cold and will find someone who can give the physical companionship that he/she needs.

Avoid temptations or things that one knows will lead into temptation. Communicate as often as possible. Make sure both are updating each other not only on complicated matters but even simple things, and try to be always available to listen. Talk more often about the future and how the distance could be resolved at a shorter time because this has to be temporary only. Know each other's friends. Be committed to allotting a specific time to skype. But among all things, both should be convinced enough that it has to work, and that the love they have is worth fighting.

I don't think that kind of relationship would survive specially they meet after thirty years. That's just pretty long. Better if they meet or be someone that they can be with

That is possible though it will take too much patience and strong determination to wait.. I know some with that kind of relationship, some of them maintained their relationship but some also failed and end up with separation. I have 2 office mates with husbands working abroad, they usually seen each other every other 2 years or some time once a year, she said that raising a family without her husband is really hard but it would be more harder if he stay and cannot support their family financially, meaning they have to sacrifice for the future of their family.

Hello Neildc ! Love knows no bound ! It will reach all destinations , no matter how far the couple are to each other , if love is really with them , distance never matters. We are living in a very modern world where we can connect to our loved ones 24/7. Constant communication would bring two people together less only the physical presence but still life and soul can be shared. Love is so mysterious , it can make everything possible ! It will find way , no need to guide because it behaves its own command .

As a long distance couple, it's important to do other things together besides the usual phone call. and interaction over the phone is important, for now long distance relationships is lucky than before. for having a new technology. considering using skype video chat calls everyday as often as possible, texting, and email everyday. It is important to maintain contact and to be in each others daily as possible, Avoid temptation, talk about future together, avoid jealousy and be trusting. And lastly Pray always. I think all of these can help to be a succesful in long distance relationship.

I've never been in a long distance relationship and I couldn't imagine how hard that could be. The girl that I have fallen in love with I couldn't think of being away for an extended period of time and I honestly just want her to come with me wherever I go. I'm not very good at talking on the phone either so that's another reason I wouldn't want to be in a long distance relationship. For it to work though there would have to be constant communication and lots of phone calls and letters so that way the two partners continue to gain each other's attention. If the two partners aren't staying in contact I just think it would be two easy for them to get distracted by someone that they could share time with face to face and actually enjoy their time with physically. Perhaps your friends should even plan dates on when they can actually see each other.

I guess for some it would work but we should not take aside temptations. Being far from your love is really a sacrifice, so they should communicate more often. Trust is also a factor that should be considered.

Skype works wonderful in a long distance relationship. It allows for many things minus physical touches. I would suggest they talk and have rules in a sense. After all, the chances of the person on the other end not cheating could be considered high unless you really trust them. There are many long distance relationships that do work, but they take more work, communication and trust than normal relationships because of the distance. That is the best advice for them is to keep talking and to have that level of trust that they need.

agreement... settle for agreement. how will they communicate since communication is very basic and essential part of the relationship. How can they express and answer their "longing" miss. Talk about it sincerely for it is really difficult too have long distance relationship however it is possible and workable.

i have been in a long distance relationship before and it is not worked, aside from the different time zone, we both don't have trust to each other because it is really hard to build trust to a person in a long distance, i even tried but not worked and we ended our relationship as we are not happy to each other anymore.

Before i have a long distance relationship, we are particularly on for almost 5 years. He works to another place because his parents can't afford to send him on college that is why he decided to just find a work and me is still on my college years. It's so quite beautiful that we run almost a year being a long distance relationship, but it is not so easy because their are so much temptation along the way so we need to have a big trust to one another and be open to one another. Unfortunately, we end up broken because we don't have so much time to see one another and communicate as will, their is also a problem that centers between the two of us, so we decided to separate our ways. If we are truly meant to be each other then we will and if faith will lead us to someone else then will accept it heartily.

long distance relations are always hazardous. first and most important rule is 'stay awake'. i mean vigilant, we have to pickup even the slightest change in th patner and try to be supportive. Express more. since you can not show your care start saying it. we need to avoid hiding things from each other even the slightest incident will trigger a fight and can have serious consequences.Above we need trust and love. nothing can stand in the way of these things.:)

These days mobile phone text messages and emails sent by Internet are possible to keep a long distance relationship going well. When the couple do meet up the time must be very special like a romantic wonderful time I mean. In the messages the couple can discuss their love and missing the other person. Hopefully the time apart would pass by rather quickly. Good luck to the two that used to be high school sweethearts

Although I did not respond to your previous discussion, I remember that discussion of yours. I feel that to be an unhealthy relationship which could surely spoil the current married life of the boy. I feel that it is better he does not continue with this renovated relationship.

Distance is not going to disturb the relationship at all because lots of people are making correspondence in long distance form. Hence, it is not good to say that love would deteriorate in between long distance relationship. However, love would grown like a wild fire between them without fail.

This is a eternal topic and can be seen many times in mylot,and I still keep my first opinion,if this couple love each other very much then there is nothing can stop them.

I am in a long distance relationship for almost four years now and I would say that this relationship is a very successful one. In a long distance relationship, the two lovers must need a cooperative effort for them to maintain a last long and harmonious relationship even if they are far away from each other. It needs a constant communication and if there is an argument, one must reach out.

Once some of my friends were in such condition,but they are all failed to keep it.I never have been such experience,but if we were truely in love or we got a responsible for something ,like family ,maybe distance is not a big problem!
