have u had a long distance relationship and how did it work? r u still together or did it fall apart?

Answer 1

I had a long distance relationship for a while. I was a single mom, and he is in the Marine Corps, so he goes where he is told. I stayed in my hometown, because I have 3 children from a previous marriage. We were always on the phone, ALWAYS, and maybe once a month visits. Then one day I noticed my daughter laying on the couch, and I thought to myself,that is all she has done for 4 days,because I have been talking to him the entire time. So, midsentence, I said, OK, yea, this is not going to work for me. I have ignored my child for 4 days. Sorry, I'm done, and hung up. He called back, and said marry me. Many years later, we are still happily married. Had he not asked me to marry him, we would not be together. You can not grow as a couple if you are apart for a steady Length of time. Think about the 10-10-10 rule. Will this make a difference in my life in 10 weeks, 10 months, or 10 years. In 10 years, do you still want to be apart? I personally would not.

Answer 2

I had a long distance relationship when I was in high school. It was a friend turned boyfriend, and I was in the 9th grade he was in the 11th. Early on, him and his mom moved to back to his hometown in Detroit, and it was really sad because I always thought of him as my true love..Now this was like in 96'. And I always felt that he was an unfinished chapter. But I kept in touch with him for a long *** time. Finally when I got older, in 2001, I visited him, and it brought back a lot of memories I had. I even considered moving down there but I changed my mind. As an adult he wasn't too responsible and he wasn't stable. But I still loved him. But it never happened, but I don't regret it. But I needed to see him to see if it was going to be a continuing saga, or for closure. Now I got a baby by someone else and I have moved on, but I think about him now and then. But from what I told you, long distance relationships are hard! I lived in Las Vegas at the time, and then went to college in Kansas and from there I met him in Detroit. All I can say is don't expect too much from a long distance relationship, it's gonna be open wether you like it or not. But all I can tell you is do what you gotta do, and if the love is there, there is a time and place for it and it will happen. And if not, then it wasn't meant to be and it was meant to end where y'all separated at. Hope that helped. Sorry for the length.

Yes I had one.. It went well for the three years he was away in college.. When he turned is when all hell broke loose. You build a rare relationship because you have to learn a person mentally which is wonderful. Once we moved together that's where the problems started we where use to our own space, our on time.. We did stay together ten year but we could never get over the hump of regrouping. We are best friends, some lines are not meant to cross.

Answer 5

I had a LD relationship for 2 out of 4 1/2 years of being together. It takes alot of work. You have to allow yourself to have fun when you're not together. Long distance sucks, but it can work.

I went away to college and he had one more year of HS left, we took an 8 month break, and we're still together. It takes more effort equally from the both of you in order for it to work. good luck

Answer 7

I think long distance relationships tests your love and also your thoughts. If all you do is ponder about what he/she is doing, about how much you miss them, about how you wish they were there with you to tell him/her about that silly thing that happened to you that day then you will surely win the long distance battle everyone so calls a mistake. If you don't ponder about him/her then your doom the failure. I won the battle! LOL 6 years married and still going!
