Long distance relationships can definitely test the people in them. The person that you love and care about might not be around all the time and that can be tough.
However, I feel in order for long distance relationships to work both people have to be committed to each other and realize that it may take some extra effort as well as compromise.
The people have to do other things too keep up that communication. Whether it's talking online or on the phone. You lose that communication you could find yourself having relationship issues.
Hopefully that helps!

I've had this experience before, not with myself, but with my cousin and his girlfriend. You see, my cuz went to one college and she went to another, MILES away. They broke up. It wasn't working out. They broke up. They loved each other, but being away for 4+ years...
On the other hand, while this was going on, my parents were ALSO having a long distance relationship. (The phone bill was off the charts and there were MANY emails/IMs) My father went to Australia and my mother stayed here to watch over me and work on her own time. They're relationship held up, if not, flourished.
It just matters how much faith you have, how much you LOVE each other. If you two love each other, you two will naturally call each other and talk for three hours and IM each other and all of that. Make sure he/she is the one for you. There's no way to know. My cuz and his ex had been ex's before. My parents had been with each other for YEARS!!!!!
If you are truly in love, it won't matter. If they're near or far, you still love them. If you can smell their sweet breath next to you, and feel their soft hair when you think of them, and you're passion in unrelenting, you are truly in love. Use you gifts (music, writing, etc.) to impress him/her. Just keep remembering that you'll see him/her, eventually. Just keep loving.
And I truly hope this helps!

It worked for me...
I fell in love with a guy that was across state (4 hours). We met online randomly and talked for a few weeks. He visited me for my bday and we fell in love.
We're getting married June 23.
Three years of living four hours apart was gut-wrenching sometimes. He'd visit for a week or two and leave for three. But we pushed through and I chose a college an hour away from him. He asked me to marry him a year later and I moved to his hometown.
It worked out, and it could for you if you simply put in the time, effort, understanding, and patience. You also need to realize that men are visual creatures and it's REALLY hard for them to stay faithful (no flirting, etc), so sending a lot of pictures helps.

I have been a LD relationship that worked really good, It was nice to visit then come home and miss him then when I got to see him it was like we were teenagers. The only reason that it didn't work out is because I wanted things to go farther in the relationship and he just wanted to screw around.

I don't know. My boyfriend is going to college in Wyoming and that's like halfway across the country. We've only been dating about 9 months now but I really feel like I love him. All I can say is that if its true love it will work out. Just make sure to talk alot and email and send pictures and stuff. you can do it. good luck

It worked for me I'm married to him now.
You have to enjoy your own company & be able to stay faithfull specially at parties and valentines day when everywhere you look are couples.
The plus side is you're always looking forward to seeing him again and always have the best time when you do see each other again.

Unfortunately not for many people. There is a soldier that returned from Iraq to find his wife pregnant from another Man, he shot her in the head and then turned the gun on to himself.
Murder/Suicide
Long distance romance personally to me is best left alone. It doesn't work all the time.

itz really hard, i have been able to c my bf and when u cant c that special person it is hard for your eyes not to wander.... but if u can try hard enough to keep your mind set on this long distant love and trust him than it should work out... and if u keep a picture or a few and look at it/them daily than that can help make it work

when youve been living on your own for so long without someone...a long distance relationship isnt much different than being alone unless that person far away communicates with you frequently. peace
