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

I think it all depends.  If you've been in a relationship with someone for a long time and you know they'll be back, then it's ideal.  Military wives do it all the time when their husbands go and fight.  However, if you haven't known the person for very long, and have never even met.  IE:  Online love.  Then screw that.  There's no point in having a long distance relationship with someone you don't know REALLY well.  Long distance relationships often fail because you two can't even be together that much, causing a series of emotions that aren't healthy.  If you're in a long term relationship, make sure it's right for both of you and you're not just doing it because you can't let someone go.

No, it hard to make relationship work when you are together, so you know it's hard long distance.  The person is never the person they pretend to be at a distance.

From your description, I'm not sure you even have a "true" relationship. I feel you think you have but I am not so sure about him. At any rate a long distance relationship has no nurturing value...especially if there is no commitment. You have no idea what the other is doing. How can it be fulfilling? Your description itself suggest no pleasure from it...only doubt, insecurity and unhappiness. Your task is to firmly decide what is best for YOU.\nI suggest you continue to stabilize your life...this clearly is not working to your benefit. \n\nYou don't have to be face to face for it to end. Please don't let it be an excuse for him or yourself. Over the phone, email or a letter would suffice.

Yes I have.  I was sitting on ICQ program and had a message from a man over 2000 miles away.  We had a nice conversation that night and though neither of us was looking for a love relationship, we kept talking from time to time at night during the following weeks.  We later found out that his Mother lives about 2 hours from me and when he came home to visit her we decided to have dinner togehter to say hello in person.  Up to that time it was just a nice friendship but when we made it face to face it turned into love.  That was 4 years ago and we plan to make our relationship permanent this fall.

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.

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 Distance relationships are a very different type of relationship. There are good points and bad points to every type of relationship. Bad point being in this case that most long distance couples fear infidelity, but research has shown that those that are in serious long distance relationships chose not to cheat. A good point of long distance relationships is that it is very hard to get tired of one another. It also helps if one or the other is prone to feeling smothered. It allows you to get to know the other at a distance.\nWhen in a long distance relationship although it is difficult to deal with the distance between you - you both are in it together and it helps build stronger bonds. You also develop a relationship on psersonality rather than looks.\n\nLong distance relationships are a fine thing when you put the time and the energy into it. Just like any relationship Good luck to you!

it depends on how both of you feel, and if you really want to make it work it will work. my bf and i have a more than 3 year relationship now, the first 8 months was together in college, the rest was spent in diff continents. i go home to vacation every year to see him. im sure how i feel about him and he says he's sure and i believe him though somethimes i get paranoid and i grill him with questions and sometimes he is patient sometimes he gets irritated. communication is very important. we try to talk everyday even if it's just to say hello. trust each other, if you don't trust each other there's no use having the long distance relationship. don't hold back each other in terms of friendships, your goals, etc. in my case if i'm excited happy sad angry ... he's the person i always want to "report" to. we're each other's "go-to" person even if it's just on the phone. i told him that in case someone new comes along i asked him to just tell me right away and i'm hoping if it ever happens he'll care enough and just be honest. long distance relationships are not easy but if you feel that it's what you want and your bf feels the same way then it will be worth the time and effort. i hope i've been some of help.

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!

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!

I can't say for another country, but I have been in a long term relationship that started out with us living in two different provinces for 2 years...:) \n\nIn the end we both moved in together, and have been happy together ever since...:)\n\nI think that love is something you can't control...when it hits you, you just know and whatever the distance, you still love them.\n\n\nAlso, in today's advancements in communication technology, distance is what you make it...Webcams, IM & unlimited long distance plans make the kilometers just seem trivial...Especially since there are people who live in the same house and can go days without seeing each other for more than a few minutes at a time.

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!

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.

Well....it really depends on how you feel for him. If you actually LOVE him then yes but if you can go without him and not worry about him being around or not. No don't create bad relationships. \n\nSincerely-Fudge
