long distance relationship.. does it work or not?

I am in a semi one...he is gone 4 days a week and here the other 3 because of his job...but it works..and eventually he will be here all the time..that's the part that scares me..lol

not if you cant accept infidelity

It should work. It depend your understanding. Even though I don’t have enough experience in this matter, I would like to answer this question, because this question looks better than any other questions . There are hundreds of meaningless questions expecting our suggestions and comments over that issue.

Good topic! Actually I don't have much faith on a long distance relationship. It all depends on what sort and the 2 people involved if they can handle it. It is really up to them. If it is just a couple years and the partner does come back here and there i suppose it is fine. But if he is like gone long term, gosh.. i dont really know. i very much rather not though.

I think if you have alot of patience and dont crave the attention maybe it could work, it has to work on both sides though so its twice as hard

most of the time it doesn't but it really depends on the couple. do they really want to stay together? there are a lot of excuses you can make if you dont want to stay with someone and vice versa.

don't know i haven't been in one.

Yes long distance relationships do work the only thing is that both of you should have confidence and trust in each other and it vill al go right. If u dont have trust in eny relationship that relationship is going in the bin for sure.

It depends on the person, but I did this once with my very first love...it was a on again off again relationship mostly in the summertime, we did see each other in the fall season, but only until making wrieves was over. I loved him and he loved me but the distance between us, made it very difficult, that and the fact that every other guy including his brother wanted a relationship with me as there wasn't many girls in that small town. Finally we split and he married a nice girl he had dated a few times when we weren't together. I talk to both of them all the time and we all get along good except for the fact that both of us still have semi feelings for the other but we are both commited to our partners and in anyway we would never hurt them...besides we knew it was over along time ago...though he is still always there when I need him...hes one of my best friends, and I am thankful he is still in my life. Just bcause it didn't work for us though doesn't mean it could never work, we were teens at the time and didn't quite know how to handle the situation. A long distance relationship takes alot of hard work and commitment, two things nither of us ever had. Both of us still wonder from time to time what would have been if...though we both know that it just isn't and we have partners and a family that nither of us would ever give up...

it all depends on the way to treat ur relationship.. there should not be any communication gap..no hard feelings...both need to go for a long vaccation once in a while...u need to treat ur relatioship smoothly...by sharing caring relationships really work out..

it depends on your level of affection and sense of security. it's a high-maintenance relationship since it would require you more effort to keep the communication (which is more expensive, hehe), more understanding, more trust, more patience, and a lottah faith! :)

Its actualy hard to say.because mostly its not working but you have to do what your heart say. if he/she didnt give you any phone call or letter for a long time then why you wait for her/him?

It takes a lot of effort and day-to-day interfacing to maintain a strong relationship. It's very difficult to build a solid relationship when you don't have this time together. I can imagine that the relationship would become thin after an extended period of time.

i don't think they work. it didn't work for me or the other person. as soon as he got back to his hometown, he was all over other girls. *sigh* it'd be nice to be wrong about ppl...

It can be possible to work. I've been in one for about 3 years. We love each other and have been faithful. But eventually, you have to have a plan about where/when you'll be together.

I have had one before as hard as it can be, it can work if you love one another. Love conquers all!

My husband and I met online. I was living here in Chicago at the time and he was living in Alabama (about 900 miles away). We were friends for about 3 years before we started dating... We dated long distance for a little over a year before he moved here. It's possible to have a long distance relationship that works, but you have to be very trusting of the other person and communication is definitely key. We made it a point to talk every day. It was definitely hard, but we're married now, so it worked :)

It's hard, but anything can work out if you put your mind to it.

Sometimes

yes it works .. iahve seen one of my friends ... they are in different countires but love each other by heart ... be positive my friend
