It is hard as you and them do not see each other..you lost contact and they make new friends in time.\nyou have to learn to let go of them and start afresh and try to make friends with new people..You have to try to move on with life and make it fullest of it.\n\nThey were there for you before ,not now. You have to learn to let go and move on.\n\nTry it alright.\n\nTake care.

To make a long distance relationship work there has to be a lot of trust - if you don't see each other all week or sometimes for a few weeks you have to be certain the other is serious about the relationship.  It is also good to have very regular contact.  One good thing about not seeing each other so often is that it keeps the relationship alive and you always have separate interests and therefore loads to talk about when you do see each other.  However, this type of relationship can take a long while to get off the ground - much longer than a normal one and there has to be a lot of feelings to keep it going.

it all depends on how commited you are to him. long distance relationships aren't easy. talk to him about it. be sure you cover every possible situation. and KNOW exactly how you feel about him. it takes two to make a relationship work.

Long distance relationships can work, but I think that for such a relationship to work at least one of the people involved must be ready to move eventually. If neither one of you wants to/can live where the other one is living now, maybe you could consider going to a third country where you could both be. If neither one of you is ready to move, sorry to say, it's unlikely that the relationship will work out.\n\nA long distance relationship worked for me, we are now married and living together despite living thousands of kilometers apart for a year and a half after we got to know each other. :)

It all depends on whether or not your comfortable having a long-distance relationship. if you chose the guy who lives further away, you'd have to deal with seeing the other guy all the time.

It's really difficult to make a long distance relationahip work. It takes a lot of time, effort, sacrifice and money. My friend was living in London, had a boy-friend in Canada and parents in SE Asia. She was constantly having to answer and make phone calls to all aspects of the globe at really odd times. She also had to deal with life in uni. It was really hard for her get much of anything done besides talk on the phone or send emails. Eventually though she decided to stick with the boyfriend and got transferred to an uni in Canada to be with him. She loved him too much to give him up. That's eventually what all long-term relationships come down to. If you really truely want to be together then you'll find some way to amke it work. If you are not that committed it's best to break it off before one of you inadvertantly does something to hurt the other.

long distance relationships are really hard to hold together but if you try hard enough it'll be alright.  i had a boyfriend that lived in germany because he was in the army.  i really thought he could be faithful to me because the whole time while he was gone, i def was.  i mean, it might not be big but i read some stuff on this girl's profile that left a comment on his myspace and it was pretty discusting.  that just let me know that he really wasn't that into me and that it just wasn't meant to be.  good luck girl.  sometimes it does work out; just very seldomly.  ♥ a l y s e

There is nothing wrong with a long distance relatoinship, the problem is how can you trust them. If there is love, trust, honesty and commitment, then it is tottaly beautiful once you go to visit them. It's because when you are away, they misses you and you missing them. When you get together after a while its all exciting to pick you up from the airport with the flowers patiently waiting for you.

yes me and my boyfriend started our relationship long distance. we faught all the time, if i was ever home and doing nothing i'd be so mad that he wasnt calling not even thinking that he might be busy. we would spend hours on the phione and always fight. i dotn even know why. then when he moved back everyhting was just so beautiful. i think long distance is really hard and the fact that you cant see the perosn makes you mad and you take it out on them . i also think that phone conversations are hard. me and my boyfriend only fight on the phone now, cos when i see him in person he can hug me and i'll feel better on the phone its so less personal.\nso you guys have to realize what the problem is and then talk about it and try to make it work. try to see each other as much as possible\ngood luck

of course it can work. it just depends on the commitment and love and trust, just like any in-person relationship. in a way, the long-distance has the benefit of not having to deal with the daily in-person details that sometimes weight relationships down.\n\nmy husband and i maintained a long-distance relationship for more than two years before our situations allowed us to be together.\n\ntalk about it.

I Have good news Yes if you don't trust the person from the start then no. I have been in a long distance relationship for 3 years.  We talk a lot, and see each other at least once a week.  It is not easy but if you really love that person you will make it work.  Don't listen to people when they tell you it won't work. know it will if you want it to that is.

Long distance relationships are VERY difficult. You have to be able to trust the other person without question. I'm speaking from experience! To make it work you have to get to know each other first, and make the effort to see each other as often as possible. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but in some instances it forgets. Just be careful.

distance relationships are generally bad unless your trust level is extremely high. where and when do you fit the quality time. I am sorry you may want to move on at least until the distance becomes a non-issue.  :(

A long-distance relationship is a relationship between people who are physically far apart. Typically they are dating or married.\n\nSome reasons for long-distance relationships are:\nThey met through a dating service and live far apart.\nThey met in an Internet community, such as a forum or multiplayer online game.\nThey met while one or both was on vacation.\nThey used to live close together, but one has since moved away (e.g., job, college, military).\n\nTrust between the two parties is a key requirement for a successful long-distance relationship. Either party may be engaging in social activities which, under usual circumstances, could lead to the forming of a relationship. For example, one party may go out with friends or colleagues from work. These colleagues may very well include single persons interested in a relationship. For them it may appear that the long-distance relationship is 'weak' and not substantially important. It requires each partner to learn to trust the other. Of course, the same can be said of regular relationships as well.\n\nLong-distance relationships can be successful when both partners make efforts to visit each other. Discussing possible times to visit, and planning these "vacations" together can assist with strengthening the relationship. Furthermore, it can help build trust.\n\nHowever, it is important to remember that the success of a long-distance relationship can be aversely affected by the length of time the couple is apart. Since an indefinite amount of time apart is a key feature shared by all long-distance relationships, it can be argued that LDRs are considerably more challenging than regular relationships. This makes it all the more important to keep open lines of communication with one another.

if you can't resolve the issue you've got to both accept that it won't be resolved and talking about it will only make you feel frustrated. You'll have to have discipline to keep a long distance relationship going so use that discipline to avoid the issue for now. Be careful that one or both of you aren't using this as an excuse to get out of the relationship. Having a break suggests it's something you are thinking about. You need to get together soon and remember the reasons that you are together. The issue you mention is obviously standing in the way so are you sure you can't do something to make it a bit better at least. fighting can become a habit and if you or he have done it with previous partners it may be something that feels so familiar that you recreate it. you are in a circle that must be broken but hiding or running away by not talking won't heal or help or break the circle. Only you two can work this out but you must be clear about what you want and need and are you compromising yourself too much! Good luck to you both.
