does long distance relationship really work?

I'm not really sure of your situation as I don't know him and I don't know you personally. I couldn't tell you if he's the type to cheat or not. I will say, however, I have been in a long-distance relationship now for two years and two months. I trust her completely and I know I've never cheated on her. We see each other as much as possible and the times we are together, we are both happy. We talk every single night online to keep in touch and let each other know what's going on in our lives. So, I know they can work but it can only work if both the people involved are willing and able enough to make it work. Sometimes it gets lonely, yes, and there are a lot of temptations out there but both parties must remain committed and strong. I wish you the best in your relationship.

I don't know your specific situation, but just from what you wrote, it sounds like you guys may have more issues than a long distance relationship. I could be way off the mark here because I'm kinda reading between the lines, but it sounds as though you each have different wants and needs -- example: you want to communicate more than he does. Seems to me that if a person really wants a relationship to work, he or she works at it and puts the relationship first. Don't know if this is helpful, but there it is.

If you both love and trust each other then you have nothing to worry about. But yeah you two do need time together if either of you are having doubts or it will get messed up. I never been in your situation, just stating my opinion.

According to me, long distance relationships will work only if both partners are truely sincere and willing to make it work. I have lived away from my husband for nearly 5 years, but we have 2 daughters, aged 18 and 13 years.We talked to each other a dozen times a day.Shared all our problems, and achievements...So, both of you also must have a talk, see if it can work, then only wait for you both to get together. If it looks like you will not be able to go on then its better to split ways now, then break your heart later on.Anyways its going to be hard...so wish you all the best.

if you love him, you have to trust him. i am also in a long distance relationship. but we always communicate with each other through the internet. we always chat and we send messages everyday.

You have to ask yourself if it is worth it. Are you happy with the situation?

i think its waste of time.........

can i ask? how long are you guys together? Long distance relationship really work for some people and does not to others. Trust really matters. Also trust your instinct, i guess you have to talk to each other and be honest with what you truly feels. its better to end it up soon before it hurs more...

Hi, I think log distance relation ship needs a bit more care because you wont be knowing about the person that much. The time is like that people are here to cheat others only. I thik if you find a good relation ship from nearer that will be better for both of you. At least you can meet personaly.....

well it depends on the individual but what i think is even u become close from long distance it is really very important to spend time together and see how is the person closely then only one can know the person properly. so i what i think is unless u spend the time with perosn it cannot work out

Hey there I do not believe that they work

There is hope for long distance relationships. Distance does not matter. The key factors to a successful relationship are trust, commitment, loyalty, unconditional love and patience. If you uphold these values, then there is hope for your relationship. Remember that love is a union of two individualities. You need to trust each other and be patient. Wait for your man no matter how long it will take because it is worth the while. You can make this relationship work. The effort has to start with the both of you. Find time to communicate even if it is just through technology. Communication is important in every relationship. Keep that in mind.

there is always a way to solve things...ONLY IF YOU WANTED TO!...he says his work is the obstacle..so why did he started the whole relationship from the start?..work cant take people from each other if they want to be together forever... try to figure things out with each other and find a good solution caz it is not about his work only ..it is about YOU and Him :)

Hi, Chaiyah~ I am just in the same situation with you. My boyfriend goes to another country for his Master Degree. I think you should trust your boyfriend first. And then, you must develop a method to share information with your boyfried. For example, open a blog for both of you, and then you two share news or interesting things happen everyday, so that you will find more topics to discuss everyday. A relationship which can stand test of time and distance will last much more longer. So, good luck and best wishes to you!

You did not mention how far is he from you? how long you two been together? is he same nationality as with you? But anyway, from my experience yes long distance relationship really works. I've been there as well two years ago, he is 8000 miles away from me and things happen if it really meant to happen,now we've been married for more than a year already. You really need constant communication and understanding for each other, be strong and keep the faith and trust as you go along and love will always be there.

In this situation trust is the most important thing. Personally i would do anything to avoid a long distance relationship but if you love each other enough there is no reason why it should not work.

as long as communication happen for both of them is ok. BUt if not... I don;t think it will be sucsess

Now a long distance relationship is good or not compleatly the type of relationship.If we consider freindship as long term relationship It never works because after a long time every freind forget every of his old friend and make new freind....

NA.... i think LDR(long distance relation) doesnt last 4 long time coz acc 2 me if ur in luv wid sum1 then u wanna spend more n more time wid them n even after being wid ur partner 4 whole day u feel bad 2 leave them n go... n in LDR u crave 4 meeting n slowly it makes u insane n frustrated n lonely n if ne genuine frnd helps u to cope up wid d situation u fall in luv wid them SO, LDR DOESNT WORK!!!:)

Its only you and him can answer that situation!If you really love each other, then you need to work that out!I knew a lot of story of long distance relationship but they are happily together now!
