long distance relationships

[dansazz]

My husband and I were in a long distance relationship for the first three years.
We would try and fly out to see one another once or twice a year per person (usually meaning 3-4 visits per year).
It sucked, yes, but I wouldn't have rather ended up with anyone else.

It's all about trust.
Now, with Skype and Facetime and all the technology, it's easier to stay in touch.

In my opinion it does not usually work.  Usually one or both end up cheating with someone who is actually there.  I am sure it can work if both people really want it to.

I knew someone who skyped for 2 years...never met in person, but he was going to propose but she unexpectantly died of H1N1 flu!!! He was from Miami, FL, she lived in Canada!

My god that's terrible.

I am coming out of a long distance relationship and the experience is terrible. Trust is critical and if there is doubt things can fall apart easily. It's also very expensive.  I was the only one that could travel due to barriers my potential other half had, so I could only visit periodically.

My almost 20 year old was in one. They were  2 1/2 hours apart and he was the best friend of her cousin. It didn't work out well at all.

I've tried them before and they weren't for me. It sucked not being able to see the other person whenever you wanted to and it takes a lot of trust, but they could work out.

My friend are in long distant relationship.  Now she marry to her husband about 6 years now.  I think they do work out if you put just on it.  But it hard though because sometime you don't see a person for a long time that not going to be fine with your relationship but it still work out

When I was younger I did the long distance thing for about 2 years on and off. It was hard but we made it work for a long time until the guy decided it wasn't worth it anymore. (Best thing that ever happened to me..LOL) I honestly think it depends though. It can work if you both really want it too but it is very, very hard.

I am currently in a long-distance relationship. It is indeed difficult and there were times where I was tempted to cheat earlier in our relationship. But we talk via e-mail, Skype, etc. at least two times a week. We've only met on two separate occasions when we were stationed in the same country. We're meeting again next year. Can't wait.

I don't think it could work, u should start out getting to know  each other become friend first then see where it takes you guys. Building trust first is the key cuz without trust there is no love and love can't happen without trust!

Don't worry about what the chances are, if there's a will, there's a way! If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Just follow your heart and happiness will soon follow.

I think that they might work a little better today with all the ways that we have to communicate. But I don't think it would work if it lasts too long or if you haven't known the person very long.

[lray3152]

It will work if you have found that absolute person that is your better half and you don't want to live your life without them.  If this is going both ways, it will work.

[lgemini]

It will not work, so brake up now.
