Do you think that a long distance relationship will work?

Answer 1

Hell NO

they do not work

sorry

better luck next time

Answer 2

It depends. If both are really commited to making things work and if you can visit each other often, then yes.

A long distance relationship is hard work. You can feel lonely at times. If there is no real commiment and trust, then the relationship is doomed,

If the distance is too great, then you will eventually drift apart. If you are unable to see each other often, then the lack of physical connection will cool down the relationship, given the oportunity to temptation.

A long distance relationship is not practical, but not impossible. If the person lives in another country, then forget it. If they live more than 6 hours or less apart, then you can get a chance of getting together every other weekend and catch up where you left things.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Yes, it will work. Why long distance, any relation will work if you have faith and understanding in you. Most important thing, the faith and understanding has to be re- inforced regularly in a long distanc relationship as there are more chances to get misunderstandings creeping in. Communication plays the only role. Whatever, mail, sms, phone or chat softwares. Use all. be in touch as much as possible. Be honest and transparent. It works. For those pessimists it has failed, it was because of lack of understanding and trust. Moreover we all want real joy rather than just virtual. So someday somewhere atleast once in a year you both need to meet. And yes one thing, sexually you are unsatisified most of the times. Only reason this may create problem is either or both of you need it badly and are not available for each other. It affects. But I dont see any reason why the people in a long distance relation cant come closer someday, sometime later... They always need not be distant. Its my own experience. It WORKS with TRUST, UNDERSTANDING and COMMUNICATION. Have the best !

Answer 4

I would believe that a long distance relationship would work if I didn't have two go wrong. If the love is strong enough maybe, but it takes more than that. both parties in the relationship have to be willing to completely commit and trust, and keep in their hearts that you will be together again some day... If you know that the relationship wont last long distance, you should put it on hold until you are together again.

Answer 5

I have to say a resounding 'It depends'. There are situations where it can work, there are situations where it won't work.

An example of situation A. would be; one member of the couple in the armed forces while the other member is back on home soil.

An example of situation B. would be; both people living in seperate states by choice; not seperated by family or jobs, just living where they do because they don't want to change anything.

A long distance relationship _can_ work; but both of you need to be on the same page. There are FAR more pressures on your relationship than an 'across-town' relationship.

I'm very happily married, and my wife and I, for a good portion of our relationship, were long-distance. She lived in southern oregon and I lived in washington. It worked out great for us. So it can work.

It also helps to know, what's your goal in the relationship? It's a clinical way to look at it, I know. But people have different goals. They can range from physical, to I don't want to be alone, to Marriage, to True love, and anywhere in between. Sometimes those goals go in a different order. And you don't have to get engaged to find out what your goals are. Just observe the other person. You know what yours are.

Answer 6

no matter if the relationship is long distance or close, in order for it to work, you must have trust and communication. Distance brings both of these factor into play. If he truly loves you, and you him, you will find a way to make this relationship work. I would not worry too much, if you know he loves you then baby go for it.

Answer 7

It can work, if you are willing to do the work that is necessary. I have been married to my husband for over 12 years, our relationship began long distance, has had to continue at times long distance and we have had to both work at it. If you both are willing to take the time to know and to trust in yourselves, your feelings and your partner, with maturity and do the work to communicate and stay intimate with each other in whatever form you can- be it letters, journals kept, then shared when together, creative ways to say I love you and you are inportant in my world, then it can work. If you are not, then not only will it probably not work long distance, it's chances of being long lasting even nearby aren't all that great either.

Answer 8

All long distance relationships are hard. If you plan on at least visiting your mate 1-3 times a week, that would be good, but if you don't plan on visiting for a long time it won't work out.

Why? Because what if you find someone that you really need to spend time with when you can't with your mate? Also there is too much cheating, blaming, and scandal situations in them.

If you think you can handel it, go for it, but I wouldn't advise it. Being very close friends is good enough and when you feel that you need to see your made, go to him/her.

Answer 9

Mine did.

Two years of traveling back and forth and phone calls everyday.

We are now married and very happy.

Communication is the most important part of a relationship and a long distance one forces you to communicate or find out that you can't and that the relationship is not the one for you.

Answer 10

Long distance relationship "only" work if you guys have a plan for the future and you're honest and love each other enough.

if you are going with someone who leave far away. DO NOT keep going if you do not have a plan to be together eventually.

something like, I only going to be away for a year for school might work.

but something such as , I can not leave my family alone is not going to work

Answer 11

My girlfriend lives a hundred miles away. We met on the net and I been seeing her almost 3 years now. Sometimes I dont know about our relationship but she has become my best friend. I wish I could see her more.
