Long Distance Relationship,Does it work?

Long-Distance Relationships.. I have stopped believing in them somewhat until and unless they turn out into real life relationships as soon as possible.. I had been in one relationship which ended up after 3 years but we could not see each other even once in 3 years.. I met a girl online, about 5 years back. We had a nice chat and we continued to chat on alternate days for about one month. By that time she had given me her phone number so we started talking on phone. We exchanged our pics and did like each other. I even proposed her after 2 months or so and she accepted my proposal after another month. We went away nicely. But unfortunately couldn't meet each other ever. We loved each other(as i hope) and everytime i could think of meeting her(we lived in different cities) some or the other thing happened which won't allow us to meet. Situations were turning against us.Then after 2 years or so, some incident happened with her due to which our relation started declining. She was not allowed to talk to boys. And i kept on asking her for time so that i can come over to her place to see her. But unfortunately we ended up and i still don't know the reason..WHY?. I still try to contact her, but she doesn't picks up the call because she can't talk to me in the presence of her family. I ask her to give me a miss call whenever its possible to talk, but hardly she does that. So as far as i m concerned, i used to believe in long-distance relationships, but i am afraid to take any chances now. I have seen a 4 year relationship ending up in 4 months just because they got separted after 4 years. So you really can't belive.. Whats gonna happen?

currently, im in a 3-year long distance relationship. we are both students, he studies in our hometown and I'm here in the city. there was a time that i think it was the end because of a third party in his part. but thank God we made it this far. courage, faith, loyalty, trust, patience and love is what it takes to make it work.

Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and sometimes they do... It all depends on how stronge you both are in dealing with being apart... I don't think a long distance relationship could work for me for the simple fact that i like being able to see my man.. I don't know would you consider this a long distance relationship.. Before my husband and i got married he would travel 2 hours to see me and he would only come on the weekends, would you consider that a long distance relationship??? Now we are married.

Worked fine here, for some time. I use the past tense because it took us six years to turn it into a short-distance relationship, so I suppose it's effectively past tense now. I think it takes a certain amount of effort of the part of both people, though, to stay in touch regularly and communicate well.

Sometimes they do and sometimes they dont but in my case it is working out just fine. Of course there are problems that arise due to the distance, but they are minor when you look at it overall. It all depends on the two individuals involved as well as the love, trust, and respect they have for each other. It can definitely work out if there is a lot of work and dedication involved as well as some cute, unique things you can do with each other over the phone that you wouldnt normally do if you saw each other often.

love is a feeling its a connection between two different people that let them be connected to be ONE. long distance relationship is indeed hard.. but it will not be that hard if the two people involve in the relationship are eager to overcome everything this is how your love for one another will be tested and if the two of you were destiny to be together nobody can be a barrier or hindrance to both of you.. just like my cousin he left philippines and live in canada with his parents after five years he went back for his girlfriend and still they are together and they are getting married now. all you need is trust and a love that is willing to hold on and wait because true love knows it.
