Long Distance Marriage?

Unless you want a divorce, I would suggest you talk with your employer and explain the situation, and I am sure he or she will be understanding, and work with you to come to some sort of compromise.\nWork is work, but your wife should come first.

Yes but it depends on how the relationship is long distance. If it's temporary( like away at college) then yeah if both are willing to make it work then it will work. If it's some type of 'i met him on the internet but he lives in another state...' then i don't think so.

Yes and No, it depends on the length of the time apart and how much you two trust each other. My husband and i were apart for about a year before getting married, it worked out cause we were in touch almost every day which helps a lot by building trust and maintaining it.

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!

Yes, it can.  It depends on how hard you work at it, and how much they are working at it.  You have to keep your commitments of calling when you promise, being on line when you promise, of coming down when you promise, and vice versa.  Sometimes starting out in long distance relationships actually make them better.  One reason is that you know from the beginning it is going to take work and are ready to take that on.  Second, you learn to communicate verbally with each other on every topic, and that will last through your relationship if it leads to marriage.  Also, it forces you to take things slow, and really get to know the person over time.  Sometimes if we can see the person every day, we fall too fast, and fail to recognize the warning signs that we would see if there were some distance put between us.  I know of a couple that dated from Scotland to Canada for two years, and just got married.  You know what?  They wouldn't have traded the past two years for anything, because now they talk to each other every day about everything, and it has taught them a lot about confiding in each other and trusting in each other.  I hope it works out for you. :)

I managed to keep a ralationship alive between Australia and uk via email, letters and phone calls, (\nOver the space of 3 months i spent the equivalent of $2000 US dollars on phone calls) .....I won't lie, it is Bl**dy hard work, bot worth it. I've now been very very happily married to that person for 2 years.\n\nYou have to be honest and open in any conversation, and you have to tell each other EVERYTHING!!!!! ( and I mean everything, bad things too!)\n\nIf it's right you'll know within weeks of being apart. If he's worth fighting and suffering for, give it everything.  \n\nI guess if you are just leaving school you are still in your teens, i'm in my mid 30's, there's a huge world out there to discover, live for now, enjoy yourself and follow your heart!\n\nGood Luck

Wait until you meet him face to face then make that decision!\nI knew my husband for many years, many of our younger years\nwere apart! In some ways it made us stronger but also mad us weaker! He communicates better through the computer. I strife\nfor face to face and that's the way it should be.\nIf you want to marry this man? Be sure to know him face to face first for awhile. Communicating is so important!

I have to say  that a long distance relationship can only work if both parties are really committed to eventually being together, but if you stay apart too long, lots of things have a tendency to change. Time won't stand still for anyone. \n I was involved in a long distance relationship for about 7 months, and it is very hard for people to just hang on indefinitely. \n I married her and we could not be happier, but I am afraid if I had waited too much longer, I would have lost her because being "together but apart" is very difficult to do.....

I did. We were married on March 9th in Las Vegas. It is possible but be careful. Expose only as much of yourself as you feel like. in other word, listen to your internal voice, if it doesn't sound right, don't do it in terms of meetings, questions, etc. Be very careful and use a proven site such as match.com

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!

Ricos Love,\nI have been married for five years now.  Prior to that, my wife and I endured a four year separation when we were both accepted to professional schools halfway across the country.  It wasn't easy, let me tell you.  But three or four things helped.  Even though it was a long haul, we knew it was temporary.  There has to be a plan to reunite.  Second, communication was key.  We stayed in contact on the telephone, and took every opportunity to meet.  There was a little college town in Kentucky that was exactly half way between our schools, and we arranged a mini-vacation a couple of weekends per year.  That made it possible for us to be together even though we had little time and couldn't afford plane tickets. Third - committment.   It takes hard work and dedication!  You (and your partner) need to go out of your way to feed and strengthen the relationship. You need to trust each other and be comfortable with each other.  Otherwise, the distance will just breed jealousy.  Finally, luck.  In any relationship, long distance or otherwise, you are taking a chance.  If you want to win the prize... you have to buy the ticket.\n\nGood luck!

Be friends first!! Dont just think you can dive into a relationship and expect it to work. Get to know eachother really well. I met my fiance in a online chat room. We were friends first for a few years, now we're planning on getting married soon. I live in Canada and hes in the USA. We get to see eachother in person every few months, and talk on the phone everynight and use our webcams as much as possible. So this new girl you've met could end up being someone you want to spend your life with. Just take it slow. Nothing just happens overnight. As far as wanting to see eachother. Dont just think either you or her have to move to be with eachother. Long distance relationships do and can work out. All depends on you and the other person. If it does turn out that you want to spend your life with this girl, theres options. You can have her move to the US to be with you, or you move there. Right now, I'm waiting on my fiance visa to move to the USA, so thats an option for you. I dont know how the government in the Phillipines works, but thats something you can look into. Remember, one step at a time. Best of luck to ya!

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?

No there is nothing wrong with that keep your long distance relation but you always need to complete it with a local physical contact relation... That will work...

I met my fiance 3 months ago the nite before i moved out of my husbands house to another state.  I continued my moved.  He visited me the next week.  We talked on the phone.  He moved me back 1 month later.  We are so in love and are planning our wedding in Aruba.  All things are possible.

The others are right, keep communicating is the key, and it takes two committed persons to do it. It won't be easy, but if you love each other, a few months is nothing. I was in long distance with my fiancee for over a year before we were together. Now we'll be getting married next month!\n\nMake sure you keep an interest on what's happening to each other while you're apart (who you're hanging out with, what's stressing you out, etc). And try to cultivate some common interest so you don't run out of things (sports, movies, tv shows, etc) to talk about. If you both like to write, I found writing long emails a great way to keep in touch. It takes a little more effort but it can be well appreciated.\n\nBest of luck to you both!
