I'm in a long distance relationship myself. We've been in a relationship for more than a year now. It was fun but hard too. Specially when there are fights. We kinda have a language barrier but that's not much of a problem.
I wanna hear about your story too. :) Or opinions about the matter.

@YannaNeko a year or so before we met, but we met as friends trying to meet, not as a couple, were near each other in real life before we got together

It is very difficult to maintain a long distance relationship. As one day one of you shall consider to sacrifice his/her local life and work and so that you can be together. I assume you think about the marriage. If so, it is better to talk about it and find a solution as soon as possible. As it hurts of this situation lasts for a long time.

We are thinking of getting married in the future and we're planning. But of course, it's not that solid yet.

@YannaNeko Since that, you need to have a good talk about the future. Good luck!

@youless We're doing it bit by bit since we're still young and have a lot of time to decide and plan.

I think if you have plans in the future to be together - like after a graduation of college or something - and you love each other and have a lot of trust in each other, you probably would make it through. me personally, though, I need to physically SEE someone....Unless it was a do-or-die situation. How has your experience been so far with your long-distance relationship?

We fight A LOT. We broke up countless times too. But the thing is, we realize that being in a long distance relationship with each other is hard, but losing any type of connection at all or breaking up is harder. We're like best friends and lovers. We get along so well but our immature sides kinda clash sometimes so fights happen.

me too i am in a long distance relationship i am still here in the philippines and my boyfriend also a filipino but we are far from each other because i am in other island for vacation .,i don't know ,i am in a relationship for almost 4 months but he said he wants a secret marriage with me before i fly to canada soon for assurance that i will do my honor to him .Since i have a working visa to canada and i have to work there for more than two years.
If you could hold on your relationship like mine until meet again then the relationship still go on and just always say a prayer wherever you go

@YannaNeko Not real often. He had move once, but he had to move back up because his mother was wanting him to finish college. I went up to NJ this Christmas. He might be coming down for my birthday next month.

Well we spend loooong hours on the internet together to make up for the distance. Since right now, we're not very busy yet so we can talk almost whenever we want. Maybe that's why we lasted this long. The problem is when I start working next month.

It's really hard but if there's love,you might conquer it all.

Never been there but I have heard so many negative stories about such kind of relationships. However, it all depends on people committed to that relationship and how they feel about each other. That willingness to love beyond the borders is what determines the longevity of a relationship and if all goes well, they end up being married to the love of their lives.
Yes! It is very hard to set everyone else aside and let the enslaved heart be the final decision maker.

I think long distance relationships can work if you were meant to be, you will end up together at the right time.

@marlina well I agree too. Most don't turn out well because things just get more complicated due to distance.

Long distance relationship are basically for fun or u can say for having a friends in different parts of world . Lind distance relationship are more over kind of distance friendship than relationship u can't name it as a relationship . In relationship u need emotions and feelings more over physical presence should be there

I suppose if both parties are 100% trust worthy then fair enough tho only takes one person to slip altho no one would ever know I guess that's the issue with long distance relationship u never really know for sure whether both parties are well behaving themselves.
If your happy doesn't matter what anyone else thinks tho :)
