I've seen a lot of long distance relationships during my time in the military. What I've noticed is that it depends on the people and their commitment to each other. You have to be able to trust that your partner is going to do the right thing while you are away. If you can't do that, then you should just break if off before you leave and save yourself the trouble. You are already going to be under enough stress as it is over there without the added frustration of worrying if your partner back home is cheating on you. If you can trust your partner, then you need to make the commitment to communicate often and talk about your problems with each other. If you are truly dedicated to each other, then I'm sure your relationship will succeed.

It really depends on how serious both of you are in the relationship, and if both of your personal goals are the same now or in the future. Ofcourse your love for each other is important, but it really has everything to do with honesty. Do you really think it's going to work long distance? Only you you guys can answer that question because you'll be doing all of the work in order for the relationship to last. So the question for you is...'how much effort are you willing to give into the relationship?'
Hope that helps a bit. :)

I used to believe that long distance relationships could never work. Like I said "USED TO" I've tried long distance relationships and they failed miserably. HOWEVER....
I am now in a long LONG distance relationship (1200 miles) and we talk every day and we're honest with each other. I never thought it would work, and neither did he, but everyday our relationship grows stronger.
The military should play no factor in whether or not your relationship will work. Their are many loyal, faithful soldiers out there. Unfortunately there are also many who are not. Only you & your soldier will know if it will work. Keep your faith and keep the communication open. Don't dwell on them being so far away, and don't jump to conclusions when they don't call or write sometimes.
Best of luck to you and I hope for a safe return of your soldier : )

I would say that is up to the one here at home. The one going to Iraq is going to risk their life for our country. The one here is the one who wil;l have all the freedoms and opportunities to cheat. If two people respect and love each other then yes it will work. There needs to be a certain level of commitment.

Yes, but it takes a LOT of effort on both of you. Many people just don't find the effort worth it. Others have a hard time without that human contact. But, in some cases, when both parties are really committed, it can work out.

I think it could work because Im waiting for my boyfriend exept he is in prison but its been 1 year and 2 months that havent been with him. He still has 1 year and 4 months to go and I plan on waiting because I love him so much. So i think a girl could wait for you at least when you come to visit you can kiss her and do what you want unlike me I cant I have prison guards staring at us. Goodluck

I believe it can work but probably not for someone who has a nickname like yours.
