i think it depends on the people and how commited they are to making it work, i met my parter while on holiday and he lived about 6 hours from me by train, we only saw each other once every couple of months but when we were together it was so special, now he has moved to be with me and we are extremely happy and have been for the last 2 years. good luck, give it a try

They can either fail or work depending on the situation and the people. Some do work because of commitment, time and they actually don't just write, email and call they actually see eachother each year or more and then one or the other commits to make the move to live in the same area as their partner thus ending the long distance part. So they can go either way. I had one but well it failed and it was nicer when she lived here locally and wasn't cheating on me either. ARG.

I think that long distance realationships, are useless and very hard to maintain, unless you really know that person on the inside and out. It is very hard to know the difference between knowing them and thinking that you know them. Because once you and the significant other is apart, you never know what could happen, and you will never know if they are lieing about what they are doing. Just because they say they are being faithful, are you 100% sure he/she is telling the truth?? Also Once the realationship goes long distance, what if you find some one you are more intrested in that may be closer.

It is something that only you can decide on!
My guy currently lives in Manchester
I have two friends in similar situations - one of them has a partner who lived in London. They do see each other all the time but the biggest thing is that she knows he will be coming home as soon as he leaves the army next year.
My other friend i actually met when she moved up here to Newcastle and came to work at the same place as me - she moved up because she had met this guy and she couldn't bare to be away from him so she moved in with him and left all of her friends and family behind - she gets married this summer!!!
You need to decide how much you want it and how much patience you have - GOOD LUCK

some work, some don't. Personally I found temptation crept in and, well, long distance relationship over. I didn't do the dirty, but it did make it easier finishing it because I didn't bump in to him.

They are hard work but can work with the right attitude. There has to be ALOT of trust at the very beginning on both sides.
If it is meant to be it will be fine though.

They never ever work. Plus, no matter how you feel there are millions of other people in the world who would be compatible with you. I wouldn't advise it, it will just hurt worse when it ends.
Even if your personality is "one in a million" that leaves six thousand five hundred people suitable for you. Don't let your feeling cloud your judgement.

is it really a relationship if you aren't 'together' or is it just companionship?
from experience.... if you've got a plan where you end up in the same location it can be great.. but it can be really difficult, both parties need to be really committed..

they can work for some time . the need of seeing and being with the other can destroy everything .
i dont think they can work for a long term
