I've been married for 11 yrs, yes it is hard sometimes, and yes we,ve been close to divorce,but we get through it. And obviously our sex life is insane!

Yes. In my experience, they can but BOY are they hard, and maybe not worth it.
My husband and I met while we were stationed at the same base going through AF training together. We fell in love and all that grand stuff, and then reality set in and I was sent to Louisiana while he (in the reserves) was in Texas (about 6 hours away) and then eventually back to his life/job in California. We did the long distance thing for a while. He would visit me occasionally (he'd drive to my base or vice versa); enough to get me pregnant. So, now we already did the I love you thing and I was pregnant but he was now in California and I was still in LA.
We struggled, boy did we struggle. And, quite honestly, if I was't pregnant, I don't know if it would have been worth it.
Thank God we made it work because I love him dearly and now I can't imagine life without him (or my son for that matter).
But, in all reality, there were a lot of problems in our relationship because of the long distance thing, a lot of fights that wouldn't have even been an issue if would have been able to sit face to face.
So I guess what I am saying is - yes, they can work, but you BOTH REALLY REALLY have to be motivated and willing to give it your all (and then some).

? yes, nowadays, Although we can't tell those that are together now, what will happen 40 years from now. I have none. They weren't together for 500 years. I know u said not my parents. But my parents and grandparents are, and almost NONE of my friends' were, like none. Maybe 2 of all my friends, had their parents together, except some were adopted and they were, of course. Oh xcept one was having problems. But I dunno about their real parents. My guess is no? sex never fails? Yes, it does. I mean when it stops being good. Sex does not last. Nor does passion, lust and anything else. So.

Long term relationships will work if you trust thatperson and they trust you. It worked for me. My boyfriend and I lived over one hundred miles away. I went to get him every weekend and we ended up getting married. So it works.

"Do romantic long term relationships work?" What, as opposed to hateful long-term relationships??
Yeah, I'll put my money on the former instead of the latter...
