Do you need to break up with her/him when apart?

It is true most long distance relationships do not last, but I have actually heard success stories come of them. I am married to a military man and one day soon he will have to deploy to Afghanistan for a year. It's not the same as him going abroad but he is still going to be gone for over a year. I can't break up with him and wouldn't want to even if we were not married. It all depends on the people, the trust in the relationship, and the circumstances. :o)

Well as long you long each other and committed with each other. No distance will keep you guys from loving each other until the day comes that you are again with each other. As they say, patience is a virtue. Besides there are plenty of ways on how you guys can communicate even if you are on both ends of this world. Its the commitment, trust and love that will hold and bind you guys

Well for me it is depend on the arrangement we have done.If we promise not to go on relationship with somebody while we are apart well that that id fine and good. But if one of them feel inlove to another girl or guy we can do nothing but to accept the truth because they are apart and maybe there is somebody behind them that full the needs of each of them. Fall in love with the person who is always present in times of needs. That is one reason why they are turn to other. And this is accepted in a long distance relationship. Anyway this is not always the face of this LDR some are stand still to their promises and they are to be with them until the end of time till do as part. Well this is a very happy ending relationship!

I have heard several of this types of stories as well and you right they normally do not last. As much as the two hope and strive for it to work it is so difficult as interests dis way our train of thinking and when we need the person they are not around so sometimes it is easier to find comfort somewhere else. However it also depends on the love for one another, but it certainly is not not easy.

It's a NO NO for me. If you love the person why don't you give it a try? Do not preempt that something bad will happen. If it didn't work for others don't think it won't work for you. I guess If you really love each other then your relationship is worth fighting for. It is also a test for both of you. Take advantage of the benefits of a long distance relationship offers. There are also lots of it you just have to keep the faith and be positive. Being apart helps you to maintain your individuality which can get lost when you always spending free time together. So there... just give it a try. =)

I'd suppose it really depends on two things - how long they're going to be gone, and how much you're both willing to put into the relationship. If they are gone for a long time, I'm of the opinion that it's pretty difficult to keep a long distance relationship. However, you do have the option of you both trying really hard to keep together. If you could, plan a few trips to see each other every now and then. You could both get webcams and the like and make an effort to talk to each other every day. I really don't know, since I've never been in a situation like that, but I'd also say to try to have a calm discussion with your loved one about the reality of it and whether you both think it's a better idea to break up or not.
