Does long distance reraltionship work?Should I give it a try?

Question

I already had one-he was in my original country,I was in US.Didn't work.Now-I have another bf in the same country.Should I try again?

Answer 1

I am in a long-distance relationship...have been for over two years now. We try to get together every two months or so, although sometimes things come up and it might be an extra month.

If you're young, don't do it unless you want to put the time and effort into things.

In my case, we are engaged and will be married next November. I have complete trust and faith in her and I know she does with me as well.

Answer 2

Long distance relationships are always hard, because it’s nearly impossible for two people to have completely separate lives apart from each other and still grow close emotionally. That is not to say it cannot be done, it’s simply more difficult. Especially if there wasn’t already a strong basis of a relationship (i.e. if the couple had already been together for some time and had a solid foundation).

Also, I think it’s always a bit risky to start a new relationship that begins via long distance, because what you know of the other person is only what you can hear on the phone or read in emails, and maybe occasional meetings. You won’t know what he or she is really like on a day to day level until you live close enough to see each other on a regular basis...

Good luck and best wishes...

Answer 3

I've been in one for 4 years now, hes in Germany and i'm in the U.S. A LDR takes a lot of work, and a lot of communication, trust and honesty. If BOTH of you can do that then things will be off to a good start. Since you have been in one, you know that it is hard. I say give it a shot if you really feel strongly about him. If you don't have one, get a webcam so that you two can see eachother. Letters are good too because they are more personal and its nice getting a surprise in the mail. Since you were in one before you know how hard it can be so just make sure you can learn from it. Good luck. Let me know if you have anymore questions :)

Answer 4

I had a 2 year long distance relationship and we were only 6 hours away, but it was hard, unless you are able to see them quite a lot it probably won't work, or will be hard, but then it depends on a lot of things, and whatever anyone says, they won't know what is best for you. Maybe you feel secure knowing there is someone somewhere for you, maybe you need someone by your side.

Answer 5

I think you should keep yourself cautious for about a month or two and see how far it takes you =] I know this guy who has a girl friend in new york and theyve never seen eachother but theyve been going our for about 4 months and theyre making plans about going to college together and everything lol theyre really cute. But yeah I think you should try it again. Good luck!

Answer 6

You did not learn from your past experience? Of course long distance relationships do not work unless both parties are locked in a locked room. For the most part people get into these because they really don't want real relationship, just something to fill in the gaps of their lonely life's.

Answer 7

I have just moved to Spain and my boyfriend lives in the uk - and so far after 3 months, things are ok - I mean, its not ideal and we have more arguments as we have to speak on msn to avoid huge phonebills - and msn, well its just words... you dont hear how the person is saying things and so one of us takes things the wrong way and we have another argument... its your decision, give it a try. And I don't reccomend msn lol - try skype instead if you!

Answer 8

all of my friends that went off to college when they had bf's have all since broken up! i personally dont think long distance relationships work! this is why i am not going to college, cos i know that if i did, it would destroy the three year relationship i have had with my partner, and i am not willing to risk this! in my opinion i would say no!! they dont work, one of you will end up cheating, or the paranoia will be too much!!

Answer 9

Hun the type of relationship doesn't matter its the commitment both people are willing to make. Don't let one bad experience threaten something that could be rewarding. Just be smart about and do what you think is right for yourself and the long run.

Answer 10

Hi, you should to ask yourself, are you ready for another commitment? If yes, have faith in yourself and dont let the distance bother you. It may not be the distance that cause the problem it could be how you handle it. Got it? =)
*Good Luck!!*
