Long distance relationship...will it work? How?

I will surely feel sad if i had to maintain a long distance relationship.If iam supposed to have long distance relation then i will be in contact with my partner.I will spend my maximum of time with him through phone calls.I will share each and every thing and let him to do the same thing.I will show my love to him and i will allways remind him that iam missing him.I will try my maximum to stay without him.But if I cant do it I will leave every thing and run to him.Because I love my husband very much.

I think a great deal about the success of a long distance relationship depends on exactly how long the couple will be apart, do they have the opportunity to travel to visit with each other frequently, etc. When my husband and I first met, we did not live in the same country. He was also in the military and was frequently even longer distances away. He did a six-month deployment, as well, during the time we were building our relationship. It wasn't easy but we kept in touch by phone, email, instant messaging and I put together regular "care packages" that I sent him by postal mail with things that I thought would make him happy and feel special. We also took several vacations together ranging from a few days to two weeks at a time... including times where it was much easier for me to fly to where he was, so he could still report for duty days and such. We did this until his discharge finally arrived. Our friendship began back in 2001 but we've been married now for a little over three years. :)

I have beenin a distant relation. We started out living together and we did so for three years . after that we were forced to go distant for about a year and that ended the relationship. I will never even consider it again, It is painful!

i am in a long distance relationship now. i guess to make it work you have to put trust, understanding, acceptance and most of all LOVE. this are the things you need to remember always so that your relationship work. i knew there are couple who had separate bec of distance, i guess it was their situation and we cant question for whatever their decisions. for sure there was something wrong. but if you truly, deeply love someone no matter what love will prevail.

I was once on a long distance relationship when i had my first love:D Ohh!!!gush how could i forgot this guy who make me feel about love and the same time broke my heart.I was 16 then and he was 22, though i know we have an age gap but i consider it a serious relationship because once i been into this kind of relationship i would take it seriously even a young age then but so sad to hear from him because he never consider it seriously just knew it when we were able to met after 10 years (after his marriage) not seeing him once he used to visit to the place of my mother's sister whom we first met. He used to live somewhere in the northern part of the country, at that time cellpones are those for we can say rich people only and internet was not fully introduce so we've been into mails only...We've last for a year of mailing each other until one day found out that he never response to my letter for no reason at all, until we met for once and he never uttered words and confess to me that he was married already i presume his innocence but his cousin told me everything..the truth that really hurts and broke my heart then, i cried out, having sleepless night as if my world turns upside down thinking what had happened.But life must go on....what makes me hurt is because i put my whole trust in him inspite of the miles that separate us. So, it really depends the two of you to make things work out. Taking time to communicate to each other even for a nonsense thing will make your relationship strong for the better. Even a single Hi would brighten up the day. Being faithful to the promises you made not just into words but to action as well.Though i have been into a bad experience on a long distance relationship for the first and last time because im now married to a man who deserve my love and time.It makes me strong to face and finding love again to my hubby's side now.

For me... long distance relationship is not workable. It happened to me twice. I ended up with break ups. Good luck to those who are into it. i hope you wont suffer same fate as mine.

well it's upto you how u keep ur relationship. i tried once and i succeded for 10 months and i dont know wht did she prefered she left me. thts y i said its upto us how to keep ur relationship. its all abt ur loving and having trust on each other.

yes a long distance relationship will work for as long us you guys are devoted with each other.Though being far from your love one is not easy...it involves sacrifices...still you will pass all of these if you just know how to handle things out.One of the most important factor in this kind of relationship is constant communication..Without this relationship will not last.

I think it depends on the dynamics of the relationship itself. Some people do fine with a long distance relationship because they are able to maintain separate lives when they are apart, and then rejoin as a couple when they are together. On the whole, though, I think being apart from each other too much is hard on the relationship because it never can develop a real sense of security.

i was in distant relationship and i got married to the same person ..i guess u have to be careful while you communicate ..so that there is no misunderstanding

I am currently in a long distance relationship. I met my girlfriend at myspace about a year ago. We developed a on-line friendship first then I made the 840 mile trip to see her in May. We hit it off and the relationship continued to grow. I have made three more trips out to see her, she has been here once and we met halfway between us once. We both work really hard at this relationship. We talk everday with e-mails, phone calls and text messages. We also have a set routine...we have date nights where we chat on our webcams. We are currently looking into her moving here so we can be together. We love each other very much. I guess the bottom line is it can work but it takes time, love, communication, trust and a lot of effort on from both people.

for me it gradually depends on them how they will goin to work on this... many relationships have undergo this kind if set-up but still they're happy living with each other and still their relationships are working... in this kind of relationship trust and communication plays a big role coz' without it you can never build a good relationship even it is long distance or whatever realtionships...

my husband and i was far from each other because of my work here in riyadh and hes in the phils. but even we are far we still have a communication everyday and our relationship still stronger the important is we support and trust each other:-)

im in a long distance realationship right now and it is more than a year that she left me here in the Philippines and she's gonna stay in the states for good... First six months it was doing fine she calls me all the time, meet online all the time.. messages everyday that it feels like she's just beside me but right now she's preoccupied with her work and she often log in online ... sometimes i can't even blame her that she is busy... but i have this fear she might find somebody that will cure her lonliness... i hope she'll not do that

maintain ur communication daily. that's the most important to keep the faith, trust, and mutual understanding. and it's a platform for ur partner to know that u are still care and love ur partner.

i am not really a fan of such relationships but i have seen many couples surviving it.. it all depends on how the couples trust each other and how deep the relationship is... it all depends on the people that is involved if they love each other a great deal then they can held on to it no matter what.

Long distance relationship is quite hard. It would test on how you trust each other. But sometimes we can't control ourself to doubt it.

Today lot of tools are available for continuing our long distance relationships, like e-mail, cell phone etc. So there is noproblem in maintaining in this type of relations.

My husband and I dated for 2.5 years before we were married and have now been married for 14 years. I lived in Ohio and he lived in NC, then moved to TN and back to NC. It worked for us! Safe Hugs Patty

It is not that the distance determines the feelings of one for thr other but feelings are the internal secretions for someone whom you love, whom you care for, whom you trust. If feelings are true and with heart and if you love someone, just close your eyes and you can see anyone no matters what the distance is? One has to trust on oneself and his love because eyerything on this world is based on trust and confidence in himself. Have no friends not equal to yourself. WHEN FEELINGS ARE FROM HEART AND ARE SENT FROM A DISTANCE YOU CAN'THEAR THE WISHES, YOU CAN'T SEE THE SMILES BUT YOU CAN SENSE THE CARE THAT TRULY COMES FROM HEART.
