For some it's difficult for some its not, but i guess computer world helps a lot cause its a way to communicate with your family and loved ones. But sometimes i believe constant communication with your partner will improve and make things work out between the two of you. But for how long it will work that i don't know, cause even me myself i find it boring if you've been on that relationship for quite along time... But i do believe that if you love someone no matter how hard it is you will survive and wait... but until when??

We had the same discussion my friend and from the responds I got..it actually depends on the couple themselves..because sometimes eventhough technology do help to strengthen the long distance relationship sometimes a person cannot help him or herself to be attempted or be attracted by another person,in this case an affair will build up and the long distance relationship will turn out to be a waste..so I guess for me eventhough there are technologies such as computers and cellphones to help strengthen the relationship but there's no honesty and loyalty,the relationship won't last..

Oh no I'm not in along distance relationship right now..I'm happily living with my girlfriend at the moment..well with boredom,I'm pretty sure both people involved in the long distance relationship wouldn't be bored if they really love each other and if they're really loyal to each other..:)

I prefer to believe on long distance relationship as i am on the said situation. It works if you both make it happen. Love will make both you survive. However its not that easy as it need so much care. Like a flower you need to water it to be able to work out. In other words in LDR you have to water the relationship by constant communication which is one very important thing to do and also trust with each other. I can personally say its very difficult but i believe our love with each other will hold on and can make sacrifices until we both get together for the rest of our lives. Have a nice day!

I tried a long distance relationship and it became a big regret. I guess I need more than words. I need comfort from a hug or a kiss... or a least a sweet loving expression from the twinkle of his eyes. But the computer can only do so much. It was hard being able to relate to the problems that were happening away from each other. I believe true love can last even through long distance but I haven't found my true love.

Well i have to disagree with comment #1. My boy friend and I are gonna be celebrating our 11th year this year, we have been in a long distance relationship for about five years now, but we are still together. First of all make sure this is definitely what you want from the both of you. If its one sided or if one of you aren't into it as much as the other one it mightn't work so easily. Have times that you are able to talk to each other. Sort of like a schedule sort of thing, like not that strick, like make it flexible. But if you can't talk at a certain time tell the other because it hurts so much just waiting and they never come sort of thing.

Hello uellayu this is checkmail and do believe in long distance realtionships as am having many till now.My parental elders and my brothers and sister and friends are still in relationship with me.In our culture it is a tradition to get together at certain family events and festivals which unify us and make the relationship more strong.Its basically a bond of trust in relationship that we and the others have to follow.Else there is nothing that can affect our relationship with our loved ones.

My boyfriend and I were in a long distance relationship for the first year and a half of our relationship. It was very hard but that's how it was...eventually he had enough money to move down here to be with me while I finished school. For us, it worked out but I know for some of my friends it hasn't worked in the past.

me personally i dont believe it because , well for example you want to get married with your long distance guy/girl but you cant decide where or when to get married and when your online buddy/girl buddy wants you to meet his/her parents what are you gonna do if you're going to do you're to do are you just gonna travel their just to greet them and waste your money traveling back. So get my point right? hope it helps

i do believe in long distance relationships. the problem is it will be really hard for it to work. you have to make twice the effort. and it's expensive too because you have to call each other often just to keep the line of communication. i used to have a long distance relationship. it didn't work. so i guess it can work but for most people, it really doesn't end up in happy endings.

some couples will succeed in the end with long distance relationship. Some are not successful . For me it's hard . i enjoy meeting my lover everyday and take a walk everyday. Close relationship for me is really important.

If you ask me this question, my answer would be negative! This is because I have experienced such a situation and I would only advice others to retrieve from such relationships. Long distance relationships are okay, if it's just a casual, hi-bye relationship. But if you are looking for someone for your whole life, I would advice you only to get involved with someone you know personally and in person. Also, from experience, I have come to know long distance relationships can get boring! Most cannot or do not prefer to talk of daily happenings in their life with someone who is present in another part of the world! And also, long distance relationships can be weird. It can be traps or something in someway which can profit from you. I am sure that you can think of at least a couple of incidents as an example for this! So my best advice: NEVER GET INVOLVED IN LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS!!!

I think its preety dumb for three good reasons 1st you don't necessarily know who the person is. (unless you met them somewhere). and 2nd if they live far away you will never be able to see them. and 3rd you wont know if there cheating on you

As some have stated this discussion has been a bit played here. So here we go again. It all depends on the couple itself. If you are strong enough and willing to make that committment. The relationship can go a long way and things will work out fine. However there are the couples that leave for whatever reason or are away for whatever reason and they think it's time to go and do what they want and cheat etc. I am in a long distance relationship. My fiance works in the Pipeline/Oil Rig Industry and he is gone alot of the time. So I don't get to see him as much as some couples do. However we make it work and we are excited to see eachother that much better. We make it work because we have built that foundation up and we trust eachother with everything. We have been going strong for over 3 years.

I do believe as long as you will have the chance to be together and can truly express your love for each other besides there are no boundaries in love. My husband and I started with this kind of relationship and we survived each day of being far by talking twice online, one in the morning and another in the evening aside thru phone or voice chat. It's hard but our love and constant communication kept us strong and patched the distance that separated us. There were even moments we wanted real kisses and hugs from each other and not the virtual ones so we just simply saved all these until we were together again.

I dont think that would work coz a relationship needs nurturing and you cannot nurture it while you are away from your loved one. Phone calls and emails are sometimes too impersonal and a human touch is really needed to make you feel loved.

It is difficult, but not impossible. It takes miracles for love to work. A lot of patience and understanding needed. The thing is - do we need the physical love - hugs, kisses etc often? Often enough to feel frustrated? I have known those who bear with the conditions, coz they love each other much. Thank heavens for webcamera nowadays.
