Answer 1

If you have trust, faith, good morals. yes

Answer 2

I have a long distance relationship and we are continents apart also. We have known each other for five years now and we have been romantically involve for about a two years. I love and I am willing to stick with it and she feels totally the same way. We plan to be together soon so that gives us something to look forward to. To answer your question. Yes, a long distance relationship can work. The feelings between the two must be completely mutual. If one is in love more than the other there would be some kind of off balance and one person may not be totally faithful. As long as both are in love and you to make plans as to when you will be together again it will last.

This is the way I see it. I am a male and I don't see women as just women. I see personalities and my girlfriend is unique, there is no one in the world that can replace her. So where ever she goes she will be the one for me. If you have a relationship and a love like that it would not make a difference. But If you can quickly look around the corner and find a replacement for your special one, I think you may want to forget it. The relationship must be worth saving from the two of your perspective. Me and my girlfriend has been through a lot together and giving this up will be giving up to much. So I am just using myself as an example. So you can tell me what you think.

Answer 3

I think its impossible. Not continents away. What would be the point. Love is real and really felt when you have a warm body that is close to you or that you can at least feel for a weekend a month....

My husband and I when we first met where from different states. I was from Iowa he from MO. It was a 3 hour trip to go see him. I did it for one weekend a month for an entire year. It was gettting to be to much driving and I missed him so bad in between. I decided to move here. We have been together now 3 yrs and just got married a few months ago. I love him more than anything but if one of us had not made the move then it would not have been worth loving him from so far away. All that did was hurt.

Answer 4

I think that a long distance relationship can last only when there some real exchange of favors going on between the lady and the guy.

A husband who regularly sends money to his wife is more likely to stay married than someone who just calls her up on the phone once in a while.

If you regularly do something real for him and he regularly does something real for you, then your long-distance relationship can last. But if all you do is just talk, then eventually one or both of you will get tired of talking and that will be the end of your relationship.

Answer 5

I believe they can really work no matter how many people tell you that it is impossible. It all is about whether you and your partner are DETERMINED to make it work.

I am preparing soon to having to be in a long distance relationship, but I've come too far to just walk away from everything now. Eventually, there will be a time when the two of you will be together again.

Answer 6

If you guys are both commited enough and ready for the pain of a long distance relationship than I believe it can work. I met my current boyfriend online, he lives in California and I lived in Michigan. We met once for two weeks and then were apart for a month. It was seriously the most painful month I have had to go through because I was missing him so much. After that month passed I sold my car, packed all of my stuff up and moved to California to be with him. Anything can work if the two of you are commited to each other enough, you just have to jump over a lot of obstacles to achieve what you want. Good Luck!!

Answer 7

Yes they can work. Arrange some time to meet, him maybe staying for a few days to a week. Find a way for it to work and it will.

I'm in a long-distance relationship (not quite as far distance) I live in Scotland and he lives in the south of England. We've been together nearly a year.

Have faith and trust, and if yous really love each other, it'll work.

Answer 8

Hey sorry but it depends, if both of you try anything possible to get together by any means, yes. But if one doesn't want to commit to that sorry it won't work. It just happened to me it f..ing suck but it is life, and picture I was the one leaving everything behind: family, friends,everything! And I even got in a school 10 minutes away from her and she wanted to end it because she said that she might move in year because she wanted to get a doctorate and she dumped me!I felt like ****, i hope the best for you! Good luck

Answer 9

i'm sorry to tell you but no long distance relationships do not lasts. people living in the same town rarely have lasting relationships. just keep this guy as a pen pal.

Answer 10

I have been with my better half for eight years, and we have only been together maybe three in total in that time. You both need to be secure and trusting but on the whole it does make your relationship stronger .

Answer 11

yes, they can work, but it is very hard. my husband is in the military and we have been separated many many times. once for 17 months, but we made it through and if both of you are mature and really want everything to work, it will. just dont go out and get drunk and screw up.... its very easy to do. be honest, if you think you need to date other people, let him know, dont f around behind his back.
