i have been into long distance relationships and its very challenging for me, i have this someone and where far from ach other.. i think that the best formula for long distnce relationship is trust and communication, once you lost it then its bye bye for both of you.. sometimes we think that long distance doesnt work, well it does and it depends on how you both fight for it..

Yes, we were having long distance relationship for ± 2 years, because she's continuing her education abroad. We exchange letters, e-mails, internet phone, all kind of communication. Because communication is important to keep the relationship going. And now we're married for ± 9 years with 2 kids...

I have not been in an online or long-distant relationship. But I would like to . Because I think if two people are too close, there's no mystery. And if you two are together all day, with time goes, I will feel a little bored and tired. I think long-distant is good to me.

I don't believe online relationships. I used to have a long-distant relationship when I was studying at university. I felt really good at that time. And after I graduated, I chose to find a job in his city, and we had more time to be together. Then, after some time, I found out that he is changing. He said I was depending too much on him while actually I just wanted to be more intimate with him. So we broke up.I was really hurt by this relationship.

i have done it for two years but some times it makes me feel as if it is full of things which can make you give up at the long run. some times you receive every short mail or with language you don't understand. Distance is the barrier in between.....otherwise its worthy doing...

Oh really? Are you guys still together? I agree that distance is the barrier and make things more difficult. But at the same time, if two people can stay loyal with each other, I think that's very precious!

I once had. But suddenly I never had her news. Now, I can't accept it and never believe it. I think love in reality is more believable.

I would hate that kind of "sudden disappearance" too!

I have been in one, it ended on a rather absurd note... i would need a whole day to describe it, but all i can say is..... She just wasnt the right person.... but as long as it was it was worth haiving it!!! I think things can work out preety well!!!
