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.

Long distance relationships are very hard, but I know couples who are married and are still long distance. So nothing is impossible. It just depends on how much you love and Trust each other to be apart but still stay together. But warning: long distance relationships are Tough. You both need to sit down and talk about the possibilities and if you both decide to stay together, talk about how you'll both deal with it. Make sure you're both prepared for all the hardships to follow, such as missing each other, trust issues, traveling to see each other, etc... Goodluck on your decision!

If you love that person, then, yes. I believe that it will take a conscious effort on both of your parts. \n\nI am in a long distance relationship right now, and have been for almost two years. It works out great for us, because we both realize that we have to work at it. I'm not saying it is easy. I think about him everyday, and miss him like nobody's business. But, if you both decide that it is what you want, then, yes, it can be accomplished.

It will work as long as you trust each other and you are committed.  I am in the same situation.

The truth is that you can't.  If you move, there is still contact, and it is the contact that is damaging to a relationship.  I moved countries with my ex wife, her family had just as much pull with 5000 miles between them and us as they did when we were there just a few miles away.\n\nTime and bereavements are the only way...\n\nGood luck!

It all depends... are the schools in the same town, is it elementary school, or high school, or college... but the most important thing is that you trust each other enough to not see each other all the time. I know a lot of people who have had long-distance relationships, and most of them have worked pretty well so far. If you think it will be hard not to worry all the time about him being around other people, then it might not work out. Of course, I might be getting too complicated if you're only in elementary school or something.

long distance relationships almost ALWAYS work because they are much easier than REAL relationships where you gotta deal w the person each day. Long distance is easy cause you go visit for 3 days or so, and just when it starts getting tough...it is time to come home. How to keep it working? Just talk once in a while, maybe send a card once in a while...nothing should ever really come up that breaks you up...it can last forever without too much work.

First of all, do you know for sure that he is moving...that is the first question that needs to be answered. Secondly, a long distance relationship like the one you may be facing can work out. If you truly care for him as you say oyu do, and he waited for you for as long as you say then you both love eachother very much. You will see eachother occasionally, you will always chat on the phone...i've even heard that long distance relationships can make the couple stronger. But in order of the relationship to work there needs to be trust. You child is almost 16? I know someone who is 16 years old and her parents are in a similar situation as yours. THey are moving, and even though all her friends are where she lives now, she knows that inthe end it will be for the best. If you really want to be with him though, you can marry this guy that you love so much and who loves you, and have your child finish school where she is now and have her live with a friend, close relative, or something like that. That way you both will be happy. In the end its your decision. But the last piece of advice i will give is to just stop for a moment, take deep breath, close your eyes, and just listen to your heart.................\n................................................\nWhat's it telling you?\nJust follow your instinct, your heart, talk with your child about what you are worried about, what you would like to do, if you want to further your relationship with this guy. Talk with your child. But remember that what your child thinks IS important, but so is your heart and your feelings. Ask this man to come over to your house so you and your son could all have a talk about how you want to further your relationship and what you all agree with happening. \n\nIn short, follow your heart...most of the time, it knows which path you should take. Just trust the ones you love, and most importantly, trust yourself! Everything will work out in the end, i know it will. but until then, good luck! :)

Chalk it up as a life experience, and move on. Long distant relationships seldom work, especially, it would seem to me, ones between two different countries. It is possible, I suppose, but brothers and sisters seldom hold hands in America, that would be more of a European thing. Really, you two live so far apart, how is it going to work out anyway?

These relationships can work. What's important is that you both understand what each others differences and similarities are and understand each others background, values and beliefs. There must be respect for each other because both of you come different environments which is base on your age. I believe when two people take a chance and get to know each other, they will discover beautiful things about each other. This is true in any relationship. I believe the most important thing in a relationship is taking two people from various backgrounds and the joy is making a relationship work. Remember there much give and take in any relationship.

Well, if you really trust this person, you can always convince yourself that it will work. However, the sad truth is that even the best of relationships have been ruined by long-distance problems. Don't break off too soon, play it by ear. But if you do so, just remember that you may be hurt. Good luck and be strong! =)

they can, but it can be a lot of work if you don't live near one another.  i suggest choosing someone who lives in your area so that you can meet in person and start an off-line relationship if you decide that's where you want to take it.  i met someone online and now we're married, so i'm living proof that it can work!  :)

My boyfriend and I were friends for less than a year when we started dating. The entire time we have known each other has been spent more apart than together.\nA long distance relationship can work if both people are committed to each other. It's hard work and requires a lot of openness but it's possible to make a long distance relationship work.

From personal experience and I also have friends trying to make long distance work. Its sooooo hard! No matter how much you like or love that person its nearly impossible, especially since you both live in two different states. Have you ever heard of the expression, The right person but the wrong time. Dont hold each other back.

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. :)
