How many people have been in a long distance relationship?

Question

How long did it last or are you still in it? Do you think they really work?

Answer 1

I've been in two.

In the first, she was halfway around the world for about 5 months, and we broke up when she came back to the U.S, but it had nothing to do with the distance. We had trust and communication issues that were magnified by the distance.

In the second, she was halfway across the country for about 6 months before I relocated to be with her. That was about a year ago, and we're getting married next summer so I suppose it's worked out so far.

Yes, long distance relationships can work out, but not if they stay long distance. One partner (or both) has to make a choice to move if the relationship is to survive. We relied on emails, phone calls, text messaging, and letters to keep communication strong. Good communication builds trust, and without those two, any relationship, long distance or not, is doomed to failure.

Answer 2

I spent all of last year in a long-distance relationship; I stayed in my hometown for college, while my fiance was five hours away. It was tough not being able to see him all the time, because for the most part we are inseparable. But I went to visit him once a month, and he came home a few times each semester.

Seeing as we are still together, I do believe that long-distance relationships can work, so long as both partners are dedicated and willing to work for it. If the love and the bond between two people are strong enough, anything is manageable.

Answer 3

I was in a long distance relationship. We are still together, married just over 4 years now. They can work but they are very difficult. For us the long distance part lasted about 1 1/2 years. We always had a plan for being together it just took that long to work it out. You have to work at the relationship a lot harder and you have to have a lot of trust and patience or it won't work.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I am not in a long distance relationship but currently in a seperation period at this time. The woman just got out of a bad relationship and said she was moving don't call the number again. I met unexpectedly at a movie all went perfect even opened the door for her. I have been in this since January 2005. I met a woman who is very beautiful and attractive instantly conneted with and the only one to make me feel so overwhelming postive in my stomach heart reenergized like I had more energy than ever and could do just about anything.
I have remained a Captain America standing by answer that she will call and I will reunite with her inspite of mockery and discouragement to give hope up.
I am the nice goody two shoes that treats people really well, tries to avoid conflict, and goes to Church.
If you are a nice postive decent person that treats people well, means well does good things, goes to church then I think you and I will be rewarded and reunite with the people we wan't to be with.
If you love this person and want to be with them then stick it out and it should work out.

Answer 5

My fiance and I are long distance. Known him 5 years, began dating almost 2 years ago! I think It depends on many things...how often do u see each other, talk on the phone, how good are you with communication, how much are you each willing to put into a relationship, but mine has worked great so far. I get married next year!

Answer 6

I've been in a long distance relationship for over two years now. Me and him have tried to break it off but we just like each other way too much. He is the most Amazing guy and I am so glad that we are together but its so hard cause I never get to see him. I wouldn't reccomend it.

Answer 7

I dont think of anybody desires to have an prolonged distance relationship. lifestyles happens and gets interior the way, you basically would desire to artwork around it. If somebody desires to be with their long distance BF or GF sufficient/or they love them sufficient, they're going to circulate to the place the different individual is and stop the long distance situation. those people who've relationships over the information superhighway or out of state "basically because of the fact" are probable dropping their time. long distance relationships wont final if there isnt dedication.

Answer 8

I met someone on holiday who lived in Plymouth, UK , and I lived up north then in the UK, we kept in touch for over 9 years via letters and phone calls (80s lol) We finally met back up after 9 years, he came up to visit me and we kinda picked up where we left off, I went down to visit him, this continued for 7 months, then he went into the Navy. We lasted for another 5 years with him in the Navy. We since have parted but remain good friends, and this has been going on for over 20 years, So yes you can make a long distance relationship work, its all about the effort your both willing to make to keep it going and how strong you feel for them.

Answer 9

i have been for two years. i am still with him and we are finally going to be together permantly in one month. i think when something is meant to be it happens. for some people long distance is out of the question, but for some people it does work. its been hard probably the most difficult thing i have ever done, but being without him in my life has never been an option for me or for him

Answer 10

I was in one for five months and the guy cheated on me the whole time. Then I dated another guy for about a year the first time I saw him after not seeing him for a long time we broke. I dont' think that they work, I guess it just depends on how well you are willing to make your relationship work.
