worth a fighting chance, or just the long way to drag out a break up?

It depends on the people, there are alot of emotions involved. If you're both strong enough to handle not seeing eachother everyday and doing stuff that most couples do(watching tv together, going out to movies,just hanging out, ect.) then i say go for it. I'm in a long distance relationship right now, and it does get hard from time to time. He visits when he can, and I'm moving out to be with him soon so thats what keeps me going(not to mention i love him lol)

Just a long way to drag out something that really isn't happening. Relationships are more than just conversation. And it's not just about sex, either. It's about closeness. Being comfortable with someone. Having them see you naked. Being comfortable with each other.
Sooner than later, somebody's gotta move, or it's not going to last. You can see someone a few times a month, but then you go back to your own lives. And you are - living two different lives.
Relationships, real relationships, are not when you have planned dates. It's when someone is there for you - when you need them. And not just a phone call, but real people need hugs. And - going out with friends, or family parties - having someone there on your arm. When you're doing a long distance thing - each person end up being alone more than not.
So, a long distance relationship is good for a short period of time. Very short. But, for it to be a real relationship - it's gotta have the regular dating fundamentals. Being together, doing things together, having someone there to hold your hand...not just someone who's a voice on the phone.

I think it depends on the couple in the relationship.......if one feels as though it's not heading anywhere well then no point in waisting time. I experienced a long distance relationship for 3yrs and the guy i was seeing lives in Europe!!! we were fortunate enough to be able to travel and see one another but sometimes it's just way too hard......we still have remained good friends and i cherish that as he really is a one of kind type person with a heart of gold.
Sometimes the relationship is definitely worth fighting for, but that's something you need to analyse yourself.
Good luck ;-)

i was in a long distance relationship for 2 years. we would only see each other for a week or two every few months. it was really hard and it hurt a lot. but now i am married to him and he is the best man i could have ever found. he treats me like a queen and respects me. you only find someone like that once in a while so when i found him i was willing to go through the long distance relationship. so i think they are worse it as long as it is for the right person. as for if it is the right person that decision is up to you.

It's a long way to drag out a break-up...
It really never works, unless you magically find someone who loves you- and only you 110%

It can work if you want it to work, trust me. Some of the best relationships stem from one in which the distance between you and your lover is great. Imagine how wonderful it becomes just seeing the other person again! It teaches you to take nothing for granted, and to cherish what you have, even if it is far away.

Hi
I dont want to dissapoint you, but I had long distance relationships many times, due to travelling a lot, even my long term relationship did not survive after I left to Europe to study. I mean, you have to realize that once you are not there, the other party has to go everywhere alone, right? So it means that he/she meets other people... And that says it all.

It can work if you want it to. That means both of you putting in the effort to stay together and keep your bond going. It also means that at some point along the line one of you is going to have to make the decision to move to be with the other - you can't stay long distance forever.

honestly i would say that 90 % of long distance relationships never work out because of the distance and never being able to see each other and never knowing what the other person is doing while you are not with them.
