does long distance relationships work?

Answer 2

Yes and No.
Each person in the relationship must be mature, and understand that a relationship like that is not easy. You both need to have a clear vision of what you each want from the relationship and spell out expectations (like if you at least expect an email every day or how you would want to spend vacations or time off together). There is also a VERY large part that trust plays in all of this. Long distance relationships require a completely different mind set than a regular casual dating relationship.
It's a lot to think about, and a big decision to make.

Answer 3

It is VERY hard. I've been in a long distance relationship since 2002. We must have broken up more than 10 times through the years. It's all about trust and making the most of the time you have together when you have it. If you trust one another, it can work. I've learned to trust my man and we're the happiest we've ever been now.

Answer 4

Yes, but both people need to be 100% committed and trusting of each other. All relationships are a lot of work and long distance are twice the work.

Answer 5

I've been in a long distance relationship for 2 years (we got together at my going away party, we'd been friends for 3 years before that) and it's going great. We fly out to see each other quite a bit and talk on the phone a lot. I miss him and wish he was closer and it hurts to leave him, but it will do till we can be closer.

Answer 6

as long as there is trust, understanding, alot of communication such as daily phonecalls texts emails msn and also regular meeting up with each other, even if it can only be for a brief amount of time
my ex lives in aother city and we talked all the time to the point it was like i knew his city personally so often did he mention it. but dont worry we didnt split cos of the long distance thing. where there is a will there is way, if you want it to work and put maximum effort on BOTH sides, then it will work

Answer 7

For a long distance relationship to work, you need both parties to be 100% committed to the relationship...and you need to trust your partner...

Without commitment and trust, long distance relationships don't work...

Answer 8

Yes, it works with constant communication. You know the "Secret of Staying Inlove" (John Powell) --- is communication!

No, when you stop communicating. You don't know what's going with the other party now, if you don't have constant communication chances are you will doubt Him/her why s/he is not communicating back to you. If it is a one traffic lane and its only you or him reaching out. eventually, it runs out and sometimes it gets tired. Specially when only one is giving and the other always taking.

A relationship is always a give and take, it will continue to work if you share the same attitude towards the relationship and it will work so as long as you don't hide from each other.

Answer 9

they can do. I'm in the RAF and I've spent about 2 and1/2 to 3 years (in total, not all at once!) away from my girlfriend since we've been together. It all depends how strong the relationship is, what kind of people you both are, how often you speak to each other and also how you choose to fill up your time while apart

Answer 10

Mine does. My fiance and I live 2.5 hours away from one and other and we talk nightly on the phone. On weekends we take turns going to visit each other and having the weekends to ourselves. Trust, confidence and a belief that all is good in the world will help any relationship work - regardless if they are next door or 200 miles away.

Answer 11

Most relationships fail, the long distance just ups the failure rate - end of.
