everyone is tellin me it wont work but i think it will (its been 5 months like this), whats ur opinionDo LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS work? Any advice?
Well, I met my husband on the internet....we met in real life, dated long distance for a while, then got married so I would say yes. Do you have a chance of being together geographically any time in the next couple of years? That would be important.
-SDo LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS work? Any advice?
I don't think it will work and it's only gonna hurt more to think it will. That's my opinion only, but look at the men who have to go away for a while in the military, does it work? Well if they were all to be honest it doesn't, life is probably never the same, because neither of them wants to be married but alone, wives or husbands ! I hate to hear when one or the other has to go away for a time, it's got to be awful for both. I hope you prove me wrong !!
i think it can be successful if you want it to. it will just take more work and more patience but there's no reason it can't work.
the biggest issue is the lack of intimacy and i don't just mean sex, i mean hugs... glances... seeing him smile, etc.
there are websites out there than deal with this. i know because i'm in a long distance relationship now and will be married in 6 months. (woooo!) they have suggestions like making word jumble puzzles for the other to solve or keeping a private online or physical journal for only your significant other to read so they feel they are part of your daily life.
try the site included... for tips on LDRs
from my experience, no.
if it is worth it, one of you move to where the other is at. If you are willing to make that committment in a long distance relationship, then go all the way and be together.
there are so many things that are against it,but people can be wrong.If it's met to be it will last
against the odds.I wish you the best of luck.
We've been together for 11 months, and apart for 4.
We see each other every month if possible.
It is HARD.
But if you love each other enough, and the relationship works, then it will work.
Just make sure it makes you happy to be with her more than it makes you sad.
if you 2 are strong enough to handle it and be faithful then go for it.
i think it does as long as u have some kind of communication between each other-msn, phone, ...
Is there an end in sight for the long distance? It can get old very quickly which is why most dont make it. Sorry.
I dont personally think they work without one getting paranoid and theres all the ''have you cheated on me''.
People say that they can trust their other half to go away for monthys, years- but what you dont know wont hurt, but then again..... what is it you think when yours is away for such a long time????
If two people are truely in love with each other and are truehearted sure it can work ! We have a choice on submitting to temptation. Some people may fool their partners but in the end we will all be judged for the choices we made in this life !!!
its just easy for another who lives close by to move in on your claim
Rarely, if ever.
long distance relationship for me is nothing... its imposble to work honestly
I'm sorry but it rarely works. The couples gets suspicious about the other cheating or messing around so there can't be a trusting relationship. And I know it sounds bad but a relationship can't really work without any physical contact(kisses or hugs, hand holding don't be gross ppl) Unless the other moves back or the one moves out to them it will be a really tough relationship to keep. Hope everything works out
Yes it does. My hubby and I lived two states away from each other for two years. We ran up enormous phone bills, and saw each other every other weekend and on holidays and other special days. It's heart wrenching, but so worth it if the love is real.
never!!u nevr no wat culd happen over deir!!
Yes they do. It just depends on the people and the relationship. It IS hard work, but most relationships are. Just always remember to be considerate, truthful and direct and all should go well.
I'm in a long distance relationship and have been from the start...(not Internet related). We spend a lot of time on the phone, e-mail and Web cam. Plus we try to see each other as often as we can. It's hard and we miss each other, but at the same time I enjoy being able to ';get away'; to go visit him.
Don't let others discourage you...especially on here. Sometimes I think some people just want to spread negativity because their lives are so empty.
You have to put fourth more communication than ever and trust plays the biggest part of all. Set terms of what is allowed and what is not, and always be open with one another. When you see each other you have to act like it hasnt been that long and like nothing has changed or one person can get detoured and that hurts. I am in a long distance relationship and its great!
I've tried and it just doesn't work for me. I like ';hands on.'; As in I like to put my hands on my lady from time to time.
It is possible for it to work. Me and my (now ex) boyfriend had a long distance relationship for a long time. I was a senior in high school and he moved to a college 2 1/2 hrs away. Then after he graduated he got a job 4 hours away, and eventually came back home. Shortly after i took a summer job 3 hours away. Most of our relationship after the first 6 or 7 months was long distance. In order for your relationship to survive there is one thing that you must have: TRUST. You have to trust that they will be faithful. Ocassional visits helps a ton just to ensure your relationship.
I talk about the importance of trust in a long distance relationship. However my and my ex boyfriends relationship ended because he did cheat on me when he was away and I trusted him too much to see it. So if you do decide on long distance, dont be stupid about it.
my first long distance relationship (in highschool) didn't last. we were together for a total of 4 years (3 years together and one year apart).
my second long distance relationship didn't work out either. he had to move b/c his ex-wife was moving and i wouldn't let him put me before his kids, so i made him go too. but after about a year (even though we had been together for almost 5 years) we split up.
i wouldn't say give up on your relationship, go ahead and give it a try, it could work, but do know that you are not alone if it doesn't work out for the two of you.
i've been with my fiancee for 2 years hes been in prison for a little over a year in a different state i cant talk to him on the phone or visit him cuz i am his co defendant so all we do is write each other and it works perfectly
yes it does work, but it depends on the commitment between the two people.
If both of you are 100% committed to being in a long distance relationship and there are no reasons why you would cheat, then yes, it could work.
Don't listen to what other people say. There are so many people out there who don't believe in long distance just because they've never been put through it or because they're partner cheated or left them. It doesn't always work that way.
I say have a long talk with your SO about it, make sure that both of you trust the other, and go for it.
i think it could work it depends on yall though my sister had along real. for 6 years then he proposed to her on christmas this year they moved together
Its hard to keep. You may hold yourself well but the person at the other end may not. Thats the problem. It could work if its a you-alone situation, but it isnt. You have to get together before the flame expires at the other end.
Personally I would not try it, however know one know's more than you if it is a possability. It really depends on who the two people are.... Do you trust him would be the most important question, if you do I couldnt see a problem. Because you were together before he moved away that is a plus! y fiancee and I actually moved apart for about 3 months and we worked out great..... Honestly it may be better for a relationship finding out who you are but still having the other person there for you. Time away is great as long as the split is not permanent I think you will be fine.
i personally think it does not work! my fiance is in Dubai and i haven't seen him since we got engaged. The phone calls do not help at all, it's a very bad way to communicate between two ppl who are in love, you can't understand each other over the phone and you always get the wrong end of the stick! it also does not help at all not seeing face reaction, knowing if he's making a joke or he's serious! it sucks.. but hopefully growing stronger just hoping that when we do see each other it will be amazing...
7-8 months and still going.
good luck with you, just be patient and pray that everything will be good soon :) ;)
It's tough to generalize because all relationships are different. I have friends whose long distance relationship lasted 4 years before they were together again, and now they're engaged. Mine ended after 2 months, and my roommates ended after 6 months. It's not easy, but I guess if you try hard to be part of each others lives, there's no reason it shouldn't work.
Relationships are about trust, honesty, attraction and friendship. If you can keep those without being in physical contact for long periods, it might just work out for you.
Either way... good luck :)
It totally depends on who is working the relationship. The simple answer is ';yes, they can work.'; Both parties have to be willing to establish and live within the boundaries of how you decide to relate.
