does anybody had this kind of relationship? how did it go? are there stories that it lasted? I'll be in a long distance relationship soon and I'm praying that it will last. I've been so afraid about it.

I can say that long distance relationship is really hard since it's too difficult to find a right partner with this kind of relationship. But if you will be lucky to find the right partner, then your relationship will be as strong or even stronger than a short distance relationship. Well to be able to survive this kind of relationship, both persons involved should be a faithful lovers. If you are both faithful to your partner, then distance will never be a problem coz you are both sure that you are the only love of each other. Plus continuous communication is also important. Trust is also a factor. So whether long distance or short distance if it's true love, then you will be together forever. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

Hi! About your thoughts, yes you will often miss the person, you will always think of him. You will never had a peace of mind unless you trust the person. Trust is very important, actually at first, I'm also like that, keeping on thinking that other guys might get her from me, but as time passes by, I slowly gained my trust on her. She made me feel assured that I am her only one. That's why I believe our relationship is very strong now, being distant to each other is already not a problem to deal with. She also already gained her trust to me, coz I was been really faithful to her. We are lucky that we are both faithful lovers. The saying "honesty is the best policy" also applied in our relationship, we are both honest to each other. We are letting each other know what's happening to each of us. Constant communication is also a key to maintain the relationship. We are using both phone and computer to communicate. We are really in love and we are very happy for each other. That's why it's not difficult for us to survive a long distance relationship. For physical connection, you just need to be contented first in imagination. Well, all I can say is a long distance relationship is very possible to last. Goodluck! Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

Thank you for that lovely comment. Yes, communication and trust is very important. I have two thoughts in mind actually, first is that distance makes us miss the other person more and the other thought is that when you are apart, someone might fall out of love because of lack of physical and emotional connection. I hope the latter will not be true for us. Thanks a lot! :)

I'm actually in a long distance relationship right now and it's very hard but hey, we love each other and we trust each other. Both of you should just need to set some guidelines in your relationships like trusting each other and making sure that either one of you won't flirt or have a fling with anyone else. Also, set an agreement that you'll be talking to each other at a specific time of a day to catch up on things or to talk about some sweet stuff. It's also good to always assure each other of your love, faithfulness and trust to each other and tell it to each other always. :)

Yeah, mine didn't last very long. There were trust issues, and it just couldn't work out cause both of you won't be able to provide each other's needs (emotional and physical needs most importantly). Communication could be a problem, it's still different when you talk face-to-face instead of just using some chat application over the net.

I had a long distance relationship. I was in New Zealand and he was in Europe on the other side of the world. We lasted a few years but it became too hard. The things with it was that we were 12 hours apart so if I wanted to talk to him on the phone at 8pm here he would have to be awake at 8am there. But what was good about it was that when we did split up it was amicable. We stayed good friends because we broke up because of the distance not for any other reason. It can work but it takes a lot of effort and sometimes people don't want to go that extra mile after awhile.

There are lots of long distance relationship considers successful, well its just depends on you how you gonna deal with it! Fighting in a a long distance relationship is kinda the most hardest matter to deal with since you were miles apart there's nothing you can do about or you cannot even show him/her your sincerity when chances and times are in worse cases, so try your best to talk and make things all in proper when things went wrong otherwise relationship will never be as good as you want it to be! Happy myLotting!
