I am in a long distance relationship. We've been together for more than a year but this year we will meet for the first time. This is my second time in this kind of relationship the first one wasn't a success because of his true personality. I know that a lot of people don't believe about this LDR because they think that it's not worth it. There are more negative sides than positive if you are in this kind of relationship. I started blogging about LDR because of my situation and I am happy that I met a lot friends that has the same situation and their stories inspired me a lot. Are you in a relationship? What do you think about long distance relationship?

I have never been in a long distance relationship but my daughter has and it worked out really well. They met on a dating site, dated for a year but because he lived quite a long way away she couldn't see him that often. This week they move into their first house together after being together for nearly 3 years. It does work out for some people.

@ayahmdee13 I guess it won't always work but if two people care enough to want to be together then it can.

I have been in a couple of LDR but they didn't work out. One guy got upset cause I couldn't be with him all the time. I do know of some that has worked out though. Good luck to you.

I cannot say LDR is not good, but though there are happy ending with kind of plot but many turn out be a disaster.

@ayahmdee13 now I am in close distance relationship and I like it very much because we are able to talk face to face. We can not feel good in long distance relationship than close distance

Whether it's long distance or not, a relationship will work when it's meant to be. Good luck on your love.

In a long distance relationship,the two partners ought to be committed for it to work.Then trust is important in such a relationship and don't have any reservations that may make your partner doubt if the relationship is worth his or her time.

@ayahmdee13 At times you have to look for a red flag like for a case where one partner just goes silent and this definitely means something is looming.Then you need to ask yourself if you are really in a healthy relationship.You may weigh your options to know whether the relationship is worthwhile

@waflay yes you are correct but we can't blame others for believing them they just like/love them.

Do not believe our Doctors and researchers. They are totally hopeless. If one researcher gives one of analysis of a product another researchers give quite opposite. They are all thrash.

I'm not in a relationship. If both parties are willing to exert effort, then a long distance relationship will work.
