do you think long distance relationship work?

Answer 1

To all the naysayers, I dated my then-girlfriend 9 months, then she moved across the Atlantic Ocean for another 9 months and we made it work. Now we're married.

A few things that helped - 1. We knew it was temporary and how long it would be. I don't think I would have kept at it if I didn't know how long it would be... or if it were going to be much more than a year. 2. In addition to some phone calls, we wrote to each other, a lot. This was at the infancy of email, and being in Europe at the time, she had very limited access. Plus, hand-written letters are more romantic.

And to those wondering, did I ever cheat during that time? Nope. Not once. So, if you have a strong, loving relationship prior to this long-distance period, you may have a chance. Good luck with your decision.

Answer 2

.
A long distance relationship will work only if BOTH people are committed to it
and you manage to keep good contact with each other almost everyday in some way.
This way you will both not feel too lonely.
But it is never the same as having someone to hold and touch.
Try using Yahoo IM every night at the game site. You can play games together and have live conversations if you both have a microphone.
Also send cute cards and emails, and DO have phone conversations frequently...
and it is essentail to visit with each other in real life from time to time.

It is essential that if you have never met this person that you have them INVESTIGATED BEFORE you ever meet in real life, and that you only meet in a public place in daylight.

If you know each other well, and you are already in more than just a physcial relationship,
by that I mean
you are also like best-friends, with respect, caring and equal sharing, and you have real trust for each other and can talk about anything and everything, and you are both committed to keeping true to each other
then with all of the above
it can work for a while;
but not forever. At some point you will have to finally get together for real.

I wish you love

Answer 3

Yes, depending on the maturity, commitment and devotion of the individuals involved. If both partners are wiling to make it work and are serious about the relationship, it can definitely work. Commitment and dedication involves constant communication, and making the effort to see each other,so that neither loses touch. Its important to stay connected in this way. Though its not a good idea to have a long distance relationship for too long, as you will eventually lead different lives.

Answer 4

It may work, but obstacles will get in the way. Personally, I don't think it works because I have been a long distant relationship before and it really sucks. I don't know what my guy is doing and he doesn't know what I am doing. We can't see each other a lot and we can go hang out whenever we want to. It also depends on the person and if you two are willing to commit and devote each other's true love and time to each other, then you can make it happen to work between you two. Yet, if the distant between the two is not so far, then it should be okay. Good luck if you plan on dating someone far away.

Answer 5

Some do, some don't, depending on the circumstances. Were you together a while before someone moved away or was thing a long distance relationship from the beginning.

One of my closest friends met someone who lived in Boston and she lived in IL, they stayed together and got married and she just had a baby. Some work if both people are dedicated and you see each other once in a while.

Good luck

Answer 6

It depends. If you're talking about a long distance relationship that started that way and will someday change, then it sometimes works. If it's a relationship that did not start that way, then it depends how long you've been together and how committed each person is. If you're someone just about to start college and going long distance with your highschool boyfriend, then no. It's not going to work.

Answer 7

I have been in a long distance relationship for two years now. It has worked out for me, but sometimes you do need to be with your partner and it can get frustrating. Sometimes it's hard, but if both of you love each other then of course it works out. In my situation, it is not like if we decided to be apart but my boyfriend is in the army and i am away in college. Well, but when we do see each other it is really exciting and our love just never ends. Sometimes you do need your time apart, that way you get to know if you really love that person or not. When you miss him so much and he misses you, i don't know but i think that being a part for a while just makes the relationship stronger. Good luck with your relationship!

Answer 8

depends on was there a relationship prior to becomming long distance? if so and if it was a committed relationship than yes, it can still work. my bf and I has been together for 5 yrs. before he had to leave for 6 yrs. we had both been faithful during throughout the entire 6 yrs. I know in case theres questioning( hes' been incarcerated) and we've reunited 8yrs ago today,! and the love is just as strong if not stronger.

Answer 9

I dont think of all and sundry desires to have an prolonged distance relationship. existence occurs and gets interior the way, you merely ought to artwork around it. If somebody desires to be with their long distance BF or GF sufficient/or they love them sufficient, they are going to pass to the place the different individual is and stop the long distance undertaking. those people who've relationships over the internet or out of state "merely because of the fact" are probable dropping their time. long distance relationships wont final if there isnt dedication.
