do long distance relationships ever work out?

Question

my boyfriend lives like an hour away from me, but we rly like eachother!! does ne 1 think it'll work? did it 4 u? hit me up

Answer 1

If both of you are dedicated to each other, it will definitely work. Without commitment towards each other, it won't work.In fact, even the short distance relationship will also not work in the long run without commitment.

Answer 2

I have a few pointers and I also have a few questions that you need to ask your self.
Ok I am currently in a long distance relationship... my fiance and I live 2 hours away from eachother and we love eachother very much.
Ok are you willing to take what he says as truth and trust him? The most important thing for me is the fact that I can trust him to tell me what he has been doing and where he has been.
Is he able to trust you for what you say is the truth?
The same goes for you to tell him the truth and him trusting you.
Another factor is how old you are. If you are too young you won't be able to see eachother so that will also not work out. I am old enough that I can drive to see him and he can come and see me.
Does your parents ( if you are still young) support you in dating him.
I hope that some if not all of this helps you. I have made mine work with a lot of trust and sacrifice.... that is another thing. Are you willing to drop what you are doing sometimes just to be able to see him if he happens to be coming in to town or you have an opportyunity to go and see him.
Once again I hope that some of this helped. Let me know if you need more advice on this issue.

Answer 3

It depends on how deep your love is. There are two contradictory phrases "Out of sight out of mind" and "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". So what works for the goose may or may not work for the gander.....heeeheheee.
It worked for me but only you know whether it will work or not for you.
When you see each other everyday you grow with each other but when you live apart you grow differently from each other. In a long distance relationship when you do meet each other the changes become very obvious and most of the times you end up feeling that the person is not the same as the one that you had fallen in love with. However, if you love this person for more fundamental reasons then those reasons will always exist and you will overlook those changes that he goes through with time. Because we all change with time, he too will have a hard time accepting the fact that you are not the same person anymore. It all depends on how serious you are about each other in order for your relationship to work.

Answer 4

I married mine. We lived 750 miles apart for three years. We saw each other every 6 or 8 weeks, and we talked on the phone a lot! When we became a long distance couple (we lived and dated in the same town for a year before he moved for work) cell phones were first becoming popular. They are the greatest! We had free nights and weekends so we talked every evening. As long as you are willing to be a little patient, and as long as you really love each other it is worth it. Just make sure there is the possibility that you will live in the same town again. Otherwise it can be a waste of time. Only you two can decide if it will work or not.

I totally agree with mixedmetaphor.

Answer 5

There are some that work it out and get together and make a life for themselves. It all depends on how much you love each other and if that love is true, then there will be a way for you to be together. There has to be a lot of love and compermise if you are going to make it as a couple. It can work and it did for me and my merrage is 22 years and counting. Don't give up and if it is ment to be it will happen. Take your time and make sure that you really know and trust your boyfriend. Young love is sometimes not the real thing so take your time.

Answer 6

An hour away isn't really considered long distance. Distance doesn't really matter when it comes to the successfullness of a relationship. Relationships succeed or fail regardless of the distance. When my husband and I were dating, we went to different colleges, about 2000 miles apart. That was 13years ago. We worked out fine.

All relationships require the same basics, love, understanding, forgiveness, and a lot of hardwork. Hope all goes well.

Answer 7

An hour away? That's nothing. Try flying from Boston to Puerto Rico every weekend just to break it off due to the stress of being out played by Seth and Hank at the poker table the next fall. I'm still in debt!

Answer 8

I think it works just got to make an effort on both parts. My girlfriend lives in wisconsin and i live in alabama. We see eachother like every 3 months or so. And we talk on the phone everyday. So yea as long as you can both stay commited to the relationship everything will work out for the best. Good luck !!!!!!

Answer 9

I've never been in one that worked out, but they can. It takes an extra level of commitment from both people, and it helps if you arrange to see each other as often as you can. My sister and her husband lived about three hours apart when they were dating, and he would drive up to visit on the weekends when they weren't both working. Eventually, he got a job in the Seattle area, and they got married and moved in together at last.

Answer 10

i think your question might be more accurately : do they ever work out in a certain way, like happily ever after in realtionship bliss .... coz in answer to your question "do they ever work out" the answer is yes - they always ALWAYS work out > the way they work out!

But do they last, enrich your life, fullfill what you both declare what your relationship is gonna 'be" for the two of you.

That I don't know.

If the best part of your relationship is about physical intimacy, and you are physically far apart - then how can that work!? I doubt it. Perhaps your relationship is about more then just sex - then maybe! why not?

Answer 11

If you both want it to work out , then it probably will. Maybe try phone sex, good conversations, see him as often as you can. Either you or he should have a car if that sort of distance is involved for it to have a chance. If you really love each other than moving is not a big issue. Good luck.
