Military wives are experts on this subject! Both of parents were in the Navy and I can tell you, the majority of their marriage was long distant! They've been together almost 30 years now. My husband is gone for any where between a month to 14 months at a time. Most of the time he's back for only a month or two and he's gone again! We love each other though and we make it work. It definitely proves that our relationship is much more than physical! If you work at it, it will work.
By the way, these people saying they don't were most likely infatuated not in love. You have to really love the person and trust them to be faithful. Also, don't put yourself in a situation that could be perceived badly. You don't him/her to find out and then it puts these nagging doubts in their head. You have to have love! Good luck!

There is no way a long distant relationship can work. You hardly ever see eachother. You will never know if he is faithful. You need to be able to spend time together getting to know each others habits and and everything about eachother in order to grow the relationship. Without seeing eachother the interest will fade away and move on to someone whom hey will be able to see and be with and share memories and other things with that makes a relationship all the more meaningful.

A long-distance relationship is no different than any other as long as both are willing to try and truelly care for each other. Due to unfortunate circumstances on my part, my current girlfriend and I are living at opposite ends of the country. But it's still a thriving relationship because I come out there during the summer and every other chance I get during the year. We talk on the phone and on the computer. With effort and true commitment, a long-distance relationship can easily work out.

Yes, it can, but long distant relationships don't usually last long. Because you and the other person hardly see each other, it doesn't help you become closer over time. Because you don't know what they are doing a lot of the time (and unless you are really trusting in the other person, you are going to want to know what they are doing.) then they could be going out with someone over where they are (or vice versa). But if you are willing to do that, the go for it. If you are ready for a commitment like that then there's no stopping you. good luck! :)

It depends on how long you have had your relationship and how much of that is based on trust, honesty, loyalty, communication, devotion, commitment, hope, faith, and patience. Some people change and for some distance makes the heart grow fonder. I have many friends who tried to hold long distant intimate relationships and now they are either divorced or no longer with that person.
I on the other hand held very strong relationships with people but just as friends to avoid heartbreaks. And now one of those people is my husband. We just kept in contact as friends and had other relationships but when we finally met again as singles we got back together. We couldn't be happier. If you two are deeply in love unconditionally you'll both find a way to make it work. Hope this helped a bit.

Some say they do, others say they don't. I say, that most likely they don't. The only connections between you and your partner are that you only get to email back and forth, call each other, and so on. But you cannot touch each other, be there physically. When you need someone to hug or go to a dance, you'll know that your partner is there. As time goes by, your feelings for your partner will fade, and will just want to stay as friends. It is better for you to find someone in your area, or at least nearby that you can be there physically and in anyother way you want to.

Ya, a long distant relationship can work some of the time.
but, do not expect them to remain true for too long.

no caues they are away and love has to be nutured and if you dont spend time together it is like a flower they need watering if they dont get water regularyly they wilt and die so does love when it isnt nutured on a regular basis
relationships means togetherness even if it is just for a couple of hours a day or week
no i tried that and after 18 months i moved on not getting to see him for months on end phone calls are good but isnt the same as the special touches and being together

Based on my experience, no. I've tried it twice. Unless you are seeing the person every weekend, it might work. But once a month to a few times a year won't work. somebody will end up cheating.
