Long distance relationships : have you been in any and has it worked out for you?

Yes they can work and they do. I have a few friends who were in long distance relationships and they are now married. It takes a lot of commitment and trust but if both people want it, it can work. Sorry about your break up. Breaking up is never easy and takes time to get over.

The only long time relationship that I was in was decades ago and it DID NOT work out.

Same as Marlina, I was in a long distance relationship many years ago, finally we split.

I feel like they can only work out when you can meet up a few times every few months or so. And the main thing with them, you have to talk a lot, through face time and texting and talking on the phone. long distance is possible, it is just a lot of effort but worth it if you love that person. Love isn't easy.

A long distance relationship only Works if it's based on communication, comprehension, and when one of the couple doesn't mind to move near to the other one and takes the decision at the right time. Some years ago, I started a long distance relationship. We connected online as the chats were the way we used to communicate. Finally, he moved to where I was living. Seventeen years later, we are still together.

I never try that, actually I had a two years relationship but we end up that when she decided to go to other country to work, even we don't have any issue, we didn't fight, still we decided to end up that relationship.

I haven't been in one and I don't intend to be in one. I do believe that long distance relationships do not work at all.

Well, its very hard. But so far, its working. Its been 2. years when we started LDR. So thank you to the technologies that we have now it really helps to survive that LDR thing. But in our case, though its expensive, we consistently try to see each other atleast once a month.

Yes to both parts of the question.

It's hard to make long distance relationships work. I've been in one but that didn't work out. And perhaps it's for the best because then I'd have never met my husband.

Been there, done that. Long distance relationships simply will not work out even if you do meet up in person for a variety of reasons.

Its really hard to handle long distance relationship. You may trust each other but there are so many factors, happenings, jealousy and gossips that could destroy the relationship. If you can avoid LDR, avoid it but if it can't, just accept the fate.

trust issues is one of a long distance realationship killers people cant trust people anymore or your prior experiences kinda of way you down

Never try such, though my girlfriend is not in same location with but we still create out time to see each other

This is one of the very hard to maintain relationships. It will work only if both of you have the will and great determination.
