From my own personal experience, I don't believe they work. Long distance relationships are just too hard to manage, Is already hard enough to build love and trust to someone living close to you, now you add distance into the mix and you have nothing to work with except a voice. If you already feel that you love this person, take the necessary steps to be together as one. Remember humans are not flawless and is just a matter of time before one or the other begins to loose interest. Suerte...

Every kind of relationship is possible for the right people. But, I would say that long distance relationships are really difficult. If this LDR is one that was started when you were both in the same place at the same time for long enough to really get to know each other. You travel on weekends to see each other. Then yeah, maybe. You already have a foundation. Even that is hard. But harder still and nearly impossible, is an online LDR. You have not met one another yet, and fell in love through words and pics online. I would bet against it. I do know a couple of couples that met that way and are doing good, but they are actually together now. One of the members of said relationship picked up and moved across country to be with the other. So either way it is hard.

I personally think that they can be good and that they can work. I've been in one for 4 years now, he lives in Germany and i live in California. We would love to be together but we are both in school right now and we want to finish our education before moving on. We make the distance work and look at it as a challenge. We love each other very much and have a lot of trust in eachother. We are very honest with one another (which from talking with other couples not in LDR is not common for them). We actually have a better relationship than some of our friends who have bf/gfs that are close to them. They can work if both people involved are willing to do the work required. It takes a lot of communication, trust and honesty. If BOTH people can do that then they are off to a good start. Let me know if you have anymore questions :)

In my Opinion they Generally do not work out. While it is great that you have marvelous conversation over the phone, Internet whatever, nothing beats actually being with a person. Sooner or later, unless you are willing to move or they are, someone else will come along that lives nearby and the long distance relationship will fail.
I have seen this happen quite a few times with not only myself but two of my friends. I have personally never seen it work out

Some do...some don't. If the relationship stays long distance for too long, then it will eventually go away. It is best to have one move to where the other is living.

They are not a long-term solution. They may be exciting at the beginning, and you aren't bombarded by some clingy person all the time because they are far away, but unless you get to see them on a fairly regular basis, physical distance starts to become an issue, and eventually trust is a problem.

Short distance relationships are just as hard, don't ya think? If it's with the right person, anything can work. I was in a long term relationship with my current wife while we were dating. It was hard, at times it was absolute hell, but it was worth it.

If you mean: Will we still stay together when he goes to a different college or goes away to join the army and only sees me once or twice a year, then the answer is no, you will not stay together. You will torture each other and make each other miserable and both probably cut yourself off from your immediate reality to a very unhealthy degree. Get a real relationship with a person who actually exists in the same physical spaces you inhabit.

If the two are in it for the same reasons yes. you make it work. my husband and i were 4000 miles apart we met in a really unique bizarre way talked on the phone for almost one year we both felt serious at the same point about e other we traveled to see each other and talked all the time the second trip he made to see me he stayed and we have been married for 4 years together for 5. have a son too! he is the hottest man i have ever seen and it is so "crazy" how we came together from two diffent parts of the states!
I trusted him and he trusted me i never cheated id talk to his dad his gma id go out for holiday likethanksgiving to have itwith his family. we never made excuses to why it couldnt work, the problem was we wanted to be together always so we did what we had to do to make it happen!
