What would you considered as long distance and how can you tell if it is not working?  Can a long distance relationship even make things better for a relationship? Im just curious. I found my soulmate & he might be transferred for work.  It is not that much further, but still far enough.

Long distance relationships can work as long as two people are dedicated to each other and want it to work. The two of you are the only ones that will be able to tell if its working. If both of you are completely happy with each other and the way things are going then things are going well I would presume. :) If you truly love each other go for it cause it's more than likely going to work. :) Good luck!

how can we be sure a relationship off line will work?? we cant, all we can do keep up the commuications with each other and be trusting of each other. honesty and humour will go a long way. there are not guarentees in any relationship. good luck and let me tell you long distance can work for you.

long distance never works!!!!!! \nHe could fill some needs that can make you feel good but.......I wouldn't expect a completely truethful, honest or a real relationship out of it......at least nothing truely more then a friendship with possible benefits when u see him.I wouldn't get too emotional about it or you'll end up dissappointed

Yes! Long distance relationships CAN work out! It is A LOT of hard work. I don't know what country you are from and what the customs are there, so I don't know how relevant or plausible my advice will be.\n\nAlways tell her your true feelings. Let her know your worries. Don't forget to tell her how much she means to you, OFTEN!\n\nAlways treat each other with honesty, trust, understanding, respect, and be willing to compromise and to communicate thoughts and feelings openly. This is the basic foundation of a relationship that both people need to work on to make it work, especially for a long distance relationship.\n\nIf you've both been waiting for each other six years, I don't think there's much to worry about. Once you have earned the money, go back and see her. Tell her and show her how much she means to you. Talk about both of your futures.\n\nFight for your relationship, but also be realistic. Sometimes no matter how much both of you care about each other, there are other things that get in the way, such as time and physical distance. Long distance relationships can work, depending on how willing both people are to put hard work into the relationship.

Long distance relationships require commitment from both parties. Maybe you should call her or send her an e-mail, snail mail just to let her know that she's on your mind and that you care.

Yes it works.\nDistance is not the end of the world in a relationship \nDistance cannot, and will not hurt a bond between two people that is based on mutual respect, trust, commitment, and love. \nAlthough you may feel like you are losing faith in your relationship at times, hold fast and trust your heart! \nI, like you, truly believe that love & relationships are what make your life special, and that ones built on love & understanding are always worth preserving, regardless of the miles that may separate two people. \n\n\nYOU ARE NOT ALONE ! \nAll across the world, there are couples just like you who are crazy about each other but are forced by circumstance to live apart..

almost 3 years ago i met a wonderful man.  He and i met online by accident and started chatting.  after almost a year of that, we finally met and it was so wonderful!  We were in love for the next year and half.  we are still good friends and visit each other as often as possible (long distance relationship) I love him with all my heart and he loves me too, just the distance plays a huge sad role in our lives.  No real chance of us being together as a couple on an everyday basis.  he cant leave his hometown in canada due to his job and other things and i cant leave mine because i have small children and my job here. so other than that detail, we would still be together as a couple.

WHat can it hurt, if you dont try to see how things goes. I mean every relationship is different. I am not saying that Annrose had her experience but it doesnt mean you will be like her. It takes time and effort to make it happen for commuication, committment and TRUST.. thats more important. I am also in a long distance relationship. What we have together is great because we have all the tools that we need in for a relationship to happen.  Give him a chance to see how he can deal with the situation with you. Please be OPEN and HONEST with him about your feelings at this distance and be sure to set some rules for you realtionship where u can feel positive all the times.

I think they can work if done right. My boyfriend will be going away for almost two years. A long distance relationship will work if both parties are willing to make it work. Communicaton is key to everything. Keep talking about everything. Try not to get jealous of petty crap. Its hard, but workable.

Long distances relationships can work..but a lot of times they do fail though, sadly to say...but in your case..you have no way to communicate with him at all..so its a bad idea to stay together..if you cant even talk!

If you really love her then what's holding you back. Who's to say that she won't want to move with you? If you don't think a long-distance relationship would be worth trying then just break up with her. But if you think there's any chance of you guys staying together and sticking through this then keep her.

Omg...there is so much to say about long distance relationships...I just got out of a long distance relationship about a month and a half ago, there are many many many things you should consider before pursuing a long distance relationship....we only lived about an hour and fifteen minutes away from eachother, but there will were soo many times when I Was having a bad day and just hearing his voice WAS NOT enough!!..you are going to want and need her by yourside at times when she can't be!...there will also be a lot of long, cold and lonely nights that you have no choice but to spend by yourself.I am not knocking long distance relationships, but you should really make sure you are ready for such a big step! you will have to be a strong willed person in order to make it work,because it is not easy! there will be times when you will see other couples together hand in hand, and wish it was you and her, or maybe a happy couple on T.V, but no matter what it is you will feel the pain of not being able to be with her as often as you would like especially when couples are all around you!.. but it isnt all bad though, sometimes it is very exciting! it also depends on how often you will be able to see eachother. we used to see eachother at LEAST every other weekend if not more, but it was still super hard and lonely when we werent together! my advice to you is that if deep down in your heart you really think that you guys can make it work, then go for it, and the wisest thing i can tell you is DO NOT LET OTHER PEOPLES OPINIONS INFLUENCE YOUR DECISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so many people will have something to say about it, and will tell you it wont work and try to discourage you, DONT get discouraged...One of things that  kept me and him together for so long is that we didnt care what the hell other people thought about what we were doing, and in this type of situation you need to do the same thing, or else its not going to work, because people can be VERY convincing sometimes, and you just might end up missing out on one of the best things in your life!

I started a long distance relationship a long time ago when i was 14 and we lasted 9 years. We broke up when we lived together but i'd say that everyone is different and since you have already lived together its plausible to say that you will find it hard, very hard in fact but keep at it hun, if you love each other as much as you say then you can find a way to make it work.

If you two really love each other then you will make the long distance thing work even though it is hard. If you love and care about her you will wait until you guys can see each other more, but if you can't handle the long distance for that long then try giving each other space and explain it to her that you love her but the long distance thing isn't working for you. You could have a non exclusive relationship where you each can date other people, give some rules if you want, but still be together. Think about what you want and what she wants and come to a decision that you both agree on. Good Luck:)

Ask yourself if you really love her. Long distance relationships are really hard. If you can't keep it together because she is so far away, then end it. Love requires sacrifice
