do long distance relationships work???

Answer 1

Yes they do.

But just like any relationship, it's hard.
And with a LONG DISTANCE relationship, it's a little more hard because of the distance.

Just as long as the 2 people really love each other and are truly committed and have total trust in one another.

But it's also hard because you don't know if they are really the one.... if you are truly waiting for him THINKING he's the one. If you two have talked about the future together, then yes an LDR can work.

If you HAVEN'T talked about the future together, just give an LDR a shot. It's worth a try, right? And if someone else comes along, then they just come along.

Answer 2

This all depends on how long the distance is, and how long will you be apart. I was in a long distance relationship with my current girlfriend. We saw each other once a month for 1 year. it was very hard, but we loved each other and got through it. it has been 3 years since that time. We have already begun planning the wedding.

Just make sure that you care enough about this person to sacrifice alot.

Answer 3

Some long distance relationships can work and some don't. I had a long distance relationship with a guy who I also knew for a lot of years. We would call on the phone and write letters but it did not work out. He eventually married but his marriage did not work out. I had another long distance relationship and this one did work out for me. We also would call each other on the phone and write letters to each other. We are married and have been since 2003. Sometimes things are meant to be and sometimes they're not.

Answer 4

They do if the people involved are willing to work on the relationship. How do you think all of us baby boomers got here if our father's and mother's relationships didn't work while the men were in the military fighting WWII and Korea and were away from home sometimes for 2 or three years? There were obviously a number of working long distance relationships for there to be as many of us to put us in the majority...

Answer 5

It depends...
Do either of you have a high sex drive? If so you will need it more often then a long distance relationship allows.
Are you both independent people where you do not need others around all of the time?
Are you okay with being alone?

Answer 6

Yes and No. It really varies from couple to couple.

It becomes VERY easy for a relationship to become strained and fustrating. If either one of the two have a paranoid personality or a jelous one, than it becomes even MORE fustrating.

Overall, it normally doesn't work, however, a very unique couple can make it work.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

depends on the couple involved and if someone new were to come along on either side. whatever happens happens.. it has almost as much as the same chance as if you had a normal Not long distance one.. because if the guys going to cheat on you here he can there. if you trust him and you both love each other then he will stay.

Answer 8

Long distance relationships can olny work if ur trust one or another.Not only that ur love have to be strong enough to deal with the long distance.

Answer 9

I would say for about 6 months. any longer than that and you are run the risk of breaking up. After about 6 months the relationship isn't the same anymore, your have gotten used to not seeing them all the time and the loneliest returns. I should know it happened to me

Answer 10

Honestly No. If the relationship is new it is very hard. Both of you must be good communicators and like too. It helps to both be looking for something more, like marriage, then you'd make the effort to travel more than not.
