It's going to be for 2 - 5 years with visits in between.

You spend alot of time lonely and on hold. It isn't real life. You save up and are perfect for each other for a few days.
It's better than nothing, but you shouldn't put your life on hold.

This one is tough, it depends on how well you two know eachother and how much trust you have. Personally, I couldn't be in a long distance relationship longer than maybe a couple weeks. I want to be able to hold the person when I want, go out to a movie or dinner when I want, to just stop by a quick second just to see their smile. That stuff you can't do when they're far away and I can't live with that. But if you and your partner have been together for a long while then maybe it can work. It just depends on your needs and maybe how often you get to see the person. And again, trust...this biggest issue of all. If you can't trust eachother, then it will not work out, at least not in a happy ending! So be careful and really think it through before you decided to try it

am in a long distance relationship and i know how lonely it could be. But the truth is there' no distance for love, if your Strong enough it will work you know the person better when you communicate off ten in long conversation. And always keep in touch at least 2 or 3 times a day. keep send your long over the phone and on the computer end nice poems and nude pictures of yourself to spice it up as your not there. take a tip every 2 to 3 months and they do the same

Some long distance relationships last and some don't. You have to work extra harder to keep the relationship going. There different types of long distance relationships. Some long distance relationships are temporarily apart but will eventually they will come together. If the two people just live apart and not coming together, then there is potential hazard to the relationship. Communication and compromise is the key. Honesty and being extremely understanding.

I guess that may be the same thing as only seeing each other about 3 times a week? My boyfriend works from 1:30 am to about noon each day and on Saturday night late has another 4 hour job so we see each other on Friday night, Saturday in the daytime until about 5pm and on Sunday for about 4 hours. So far its worked but I find myself getting lonely at times in the evening the other 4 nights of the week when I don't get to see him. We've been doing that for 2 years and its starting to wear me down. I now ask myself would marriage or living with him make it better or be worse since I'd be getting home after he is in bed asleep already which I would be tempted to curl up next to him and possibly wake him up which would interrupt his sleep pattern. I've given this alot of thought, can you tell? I've even started thinking about seeing other people to make sure this is what I want. Did my comment help any?

Depends on the kind of relationships.
I myself am in touch with two boys in Australia. It's been like this for over a year. I thank the web for this. But I must recognize it is in their framework and I have put all my energy into the thing.
One I met in May last year and the other one I missed.
Never mind I keep paying them a visit on the web each day.
I don't know when I'll be back to the world of Down Under though. It is so far away from Europe!!!
I cross my fingers and as we say: wait and see!

A long distance relationship can work if you have two mature & willing, responsible people. Doing the long distance thing is never easy. It requires a lot of trust, compromise and possibly sacrifice. Unles your love is really strong I don't recommend it. But it can work, if you work at it. Good Luck

Some work it depends on why the distance is there and how much they really love ananother in order to be strong enough to with stand the relationship and a relationship is really what you put into it and what you set your expectations to get out of it. Yes it can work.

it's not simple but not totally impossible... a long distance relationship is no different from a proximal relationship in that they both require a great deal of work, excellent communication, patience, sacrifice and understanding. but you will have to work extra hard to maintain the communication and to stay focused enough to not let your daily life interfere with your desire to be with the other person. don't forget them or you can forget the relationship.

Depends on how long you've already been with the person... do you trust them? How often will you get to see them? The relationship will be super hard to deal with but if you love each other than it will be worth the wait. It also depends on how 'long distance' though.

They can.
You need to be very proactive. You need to be able to talk about senstitive things, over the phone, email, whatever. You need to set limits, expectations and respect them. (how much to spend on travel, how often to call or travel, if something gets cancelled then talk about why) People who play games need not apply.
My brother and his wife were long distance for about 2.5 years - and it worked out fine - they are married 3 years now. It really depends on the person.
