We live considerably far from each other... Ohio and Pennsylvania... And everybody thinks it won't work as soon as they hear "long distance"... but we love each other.We are perfect for each other, and have dedicated ourselves to each other... Why is there a stereotype of long-distance relationships not working?

there's the stereotype of long distance relationships not working out because it can be hard when two people are far away. You're going through different experiences in two different places. People need companionship and sometimes its hard when the person you love is miles away. But as cliche as it sounds "love has no boundaries" and if you guys love eachother and want to try the long distance thing. GO FOR IT AND DONT LISTEN TO WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY. if you truly love him, and he truly loves you see how things work out. Hopefully distance wont be a problem for you. More than anything i hope it works out between you...

Me and my now husband use to live 2 and a half hours away from each other. We did this for 3 full years only seeing each other every other weekend and for a week for holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving. It can work if you have the heart and dedication. I have even heard of people doing it from even further distances. It did get very hard in the end because we wanted to be together more often than we were. It can work out if you hearts are truly connected. Good luck on your relationship. If you want to see a happy ending see my yahoo 360 page. It can work out.

Whether it's long-distance or not, relationships tend not to work out sometimes its because of the lovers. People only say that because they are not in your shoes. But if you really dedicate yourselves to each other, promise to be honest, faithful, and love each other, there's no way it's not gonna work.
Is that far? How about this: I lived from Asia then and my ex-bf-now-hubby is from US. Plus technology consoles you with emails, camphones, etc. so that makes it's easier. It's only a matter of trust.
I think one factor that plays a huge role in every long-distance in a relationship is TRUST. Now, this is really a biggie. People can be skeptical probably because of the distance and they tend to be "over-reacting," possessive, jealous, and insecure. Don't put yourself in that situation because jealousy or mistrust will let you lose your tract and you will slip down further and faster like an uphill battle.

Long distance relationships CAN work but you both need to work at it. A letter a day helps, phone call a week helps. Try to meet once a month half way from where you live.When I met my wife I lived in another state because of my job. I drove a truck in 11 states. I wrote her a letter at least every 2 days(even on the road).I called her every week and we met every 2 weeks for a weekend..This coninued for11/2yrs. then I quiet my Job. We got married as soon as I got a job that was close to home.It worked for us & it can work for u. Good luck//

Hello,
It is my belief that LDR's are stereotyped as they are.Because the two people involved are not physically near or in eachothers company...
So if they aren't able to be with eachother say,as often as if they lived in the same town...
Then it's never going to work out...
As we are all human beings,and we all take notice of the opposite sex whether we admit it or not...
The difference is that some people will act upon noticing the opposite sex...
While there are others,like yourself and your lover...
Who as you stated are totally dedicated to eachother as partners,as one...
And if this works for you and yours...
Then you have found true love...
Until a time comes when you can be in eachothers company,face to face so to say...
I wish you all the best...

Because if you can not see this person when you want you go and look for some else who you can see when you want. Some long distance relationships can work. It all depends on the people in the relationship.

not true. long distance relationships can work, it just how often you see each other. the stereotype is there b/c people think that they will be unfaithful. if both of you have the dedication to do it, and you can see each other often enough. it can work.
i was in a long distance relationship. calif [her] and ny [me]...it didnt work cause we couldnt see each other enough and other reasons. you're not in a long distance relationship unless you've done 3,000 miles away like ny and calif.

If you both get along great and love each other then go for it. Don't listen to people telling you it won't work, they have no idea, they aren't you. Some day when the time is right for both of you, maybe you can live closer together. Good Luck!

My best friend in Missouri had a several month long-distance relationship with a woman from Pennsylvania. They are now married with children.

people say the same thing to me all of the time. I'm in a long-distance relationship and it definitely has it's ups and downs. But we love eachother and i'm moving to where he is soon, so we're both happy about that. we lived together for a year and a half but he had to move to start his business. so when I'm done selling my house, I will move too.
