Even if you both feel true love for each other... why would it fade away just because you're far away from each other?... Isn't it True love last forever?... my BF just dumped me coz he found a new girl... I'm so devastated bcoz we have sweet future plans already. How can he just throw the love we felt for each other? is it bcoz long-distance relationships really doesn't work?

I am a marine wife widow. He was killed. We were together for 7 years ( high school sweethearts ).
But let me tell you if you really want it to work, yes they work. I have sat thru bootcamp ( 16 weeks ) , and 3 deployments ( totaling 21 months ) with out him. We were married for 22 months and he was home for only 6 of them.
If you are willing to put in the effort yes they work. If someone has weak tendencies in the relationship no then it won't work.
Sorry to hear that he dumped ya. Sounds like you were really dedicated.. Well then he wasn't worth your time. He wasn't willing to put in the hard work to make it work. And wouldn't you rather have someone who is going to match you on the effort that you put into a relationship. Better you find out now that he is weak then 5 years down the line..

I'm sorry that you had a bad Long Distance experience. It worked for a friend of mine. She is now happily married. They were LD for about 3 years. They both had to work things out and decide who was going to move where. I had a LD once and it was going OK, but neither of us wanted to move so far away from family and home (I'm in the USA, he was in the Netherlands). In my case it was bad timing. Also although we did like each other we were not in love. In short, I think that LD can work. It just depends on the people involved and how much they care for each other.

I think they do work, I have 2 friends one in england and one in Australia who are having long distance and it is working for them but i know it would be hard, the aussie (guy) lives neaqr me and he misses her so so so so so much.........it would be hard being in that kind of relationship if u met someone new and had to choose between the person right there with u who u can share stuff with and the person who lives far far away who u miss all the time and only can talk to by ph and net......im sure he didnt mean to hurt u and there are plenty more fish in the sea......good luck and hope the broken heart meands quick !!!!!! :)

The EXACT same thing happened to me. Because of it I never want to have a LDR again. It was too hard and hurt too much after everything was over. I think it depends on the person. Some people can make them work and some can't.
I like it better when I can see my guy everyday.

Well, it's hard 4 it to work...like they say, "outa sight, outa mind. " I know.. i've tried it, & not only did my gf cheat on me, the phone company made me come down & pay 2-3 times/month to let me keep the phone in. Long-distance romance requires big finance, & it jus didnt work 4 me..but not 2 worry...u'll have 1 or more "true loves" b4 it's over, so don't get discouraged. I guarantee it!

The eyes you do not see you will forget them so he was not close to you anyway. It is impossible to make a long distance relationship work you are not together they start to feel lonely and try to make friends to hang out....
Mind your own life and get over it it was useless anyway

If u really want to make it work..
Relationship works in any form..
If either of the 2 r not serious it fails..

LDR doesn't really work. humans are social beings. other than talking to your partner and feeling and understanding, u need to be physically present. sorry but its like out of sight, out of mind.
