Yes, but it depends on the people involved. And, for how long you'll be on that schedule. My girlfriend and I had the opposite problem. I had to work weekends and she had normal weekends off. We never had any free time together, but saw each other all the time. If you can make it quality, you guys can make it. But if it's going to be like this for the next few years, it might not be a good idea. Short term, it could definately work out.

Depends. It didn't work in my last relationship, but it's working just fine in my new one. I guess it depends on how close you are. If you really love each other and you're really close, it actually makes the bond stronger,i think. If you see each other all the time,you could grow complacent and assume the person will be there forever and in some cases almost take the time you have together for granted. But if people only see each other once in awhile,they tend to appreciate more the time they do have together and make the most of it while they have it. Afterall, "distance makes the heart grow fonder"

Only if you think that the other person is trustworthy & keeps their hands to themselves for a week right before the weekend, lol.
Also, absence make the heart grow fonder. You don't need to be with each other every waking moment all the time to make it work.
But in today's world... what's distance, anyway? There're plenty modes of communication i.e. cellphones, IMs, e-mails, webcams, etc. So you'll never feel too far apart from each other.

I don't think so, I'd only consider that dating, not a real relationship. But I'm also anti-long distance relationships for the same reason - I don't think you can connect and grow with someone in a relationship if you aren't around each other that much. However, if you're happy and things are going well, then I say don't fix something that isn't broken.

I used to be in a relationship where we spoke maybe twice a week and were seeing each other once or twice a month. I thought it was great and the sex was hot. We spoke a lot about interesting things when we saw each other, and we rarely argued. I think you got it good.

It all depends on the two people that are involved in the relationship. If they like seeing each other on the weekend then it will work , if not it won't last

Yes it can and is probably going to be better. The week long separation acts as a strong uniting force. Sweet are the fruits of waiting.

That is perfect. Plan for good weekends. Also, get seperate bedrooms. It is the best thing ever. You each have your own room and your own stuff. You can choose to sleep together or not. There is no sharing closet or drawer space and you can "visit" one another.

It CAN work, but unless both of you are truly committed, there will most likely be some straying, and in the long run you'll break up. Proceed with caution.
