Long Distant relationships can they last

Dear Angel, this is a very familiar topic on this forum. It has been beautifully responded to some time before, including by myself. A search on myLot for this topic will surely yield the various responses. It is somehow time-wasting to repeat oneself here, especially as the topic was treated less than 2 months ago. Thank you for your understanding.

LDR can last, but you have to work extra hard on making it last. Communication is the key so maximize every possible means of getting in touch - email, chat,phone calls, etc. Also, before any one of the couple decides to leave the other behind, make sure it's for a worthy cause and that the one whom you're leaving completely understands the reasons for your leaving. It's better if you've already build a strong foundation for the relationship already so that you can continuously nurture it better even if you are apart from each other. I'm speaking from experience so i really know LDR CAN work.

What do you mean by long distance relationships? I have heard people refer to 20 or 30 miles as being long distance, I was seeing someone once who lived about 40 miles away who decided that it was too far and broke it off. However, my wife lived almost 8,000 miles away when we first got to know each other, we chatted for hours online and on the phone. In some ways I felt it was a good way to get to know someone, we eventually trusted each other enough to be able to confide in each other and tell all our secrets. I realise that the danger with this is that you may tell little white lies to make the other person like you more, but if you want it to work you will steer clear of doing this. We carried this on for maybe a year or more before we eventually met in person for the first time. When we did we knew each other so well it was almost like we had been together for all that time. We married in November 2005, we now live in the UK and our love and friendship has grown stronger every day. Our relationship will last because of our honesty and openness in our early relationship

hi angel! just wanna share my views/opinions on long distance relationship. Actually, it's rough and tough especially if you have different time zones/countries, but it's up to the couple on how things will work, they should trust, love, respect and be faithful to each other and also communication plays a vital role to let each other feel that you're a part of your partners life though you're apart. On the other hand, feeling connected but having the space to grow is what usually the benefits of having a long distance love affair and when you see each other you really miss one another. On the other hand, you need to be strong, especially in the cases that you'll feel sad, emptiness and sense of belongingness but if you're really inlove you'll get to surpass this issue.

Well kiddo, anything is possible..but as you know I am a firm believer that once the couple has had nurmerous calls, emails, video sessions and they are still infatuated with each other...then the next step must be taken, which is meeting and to proof out this process and getting the full 3D on each other...interest post this proff process means it will work

Yes they do. My husband is military and leaves for long periods of time, thus leaving us married, but in a long distance relationship. The things that make it last are keeping in contact, sending things to each other, making sure the other person see's you are putting forth an effort to make things work. If you love someone they can live on the moon, and if you are determined it will work. Being patient is probably the biggest thing. Some things are bound to get mis-understood. You have to understand its stressful to be apart and able to brush things aside for easily.

long distance realotions can last onlyu if no one else come into ur relationship who becomes more dear to u thant the other..

My opinion is that they can last if you work with it. Yes you have distance to battle but if you really wish it to work you just have to work with it just like any other relationship.

I think it depends on how the relationship was before you parted. If you have a good relationship and keep it going with phone calls, letters, emails it has a good chance. If it started out as a long distant relationship I think it has a much harder chance of lasting.

I guess the as far we get the more love we have in our relationship.As i have experienced it myself i can say distant relationships can last but there are some exceptions regarding to the different cultures of the society as the girl i loved and still in love with was really far from me and we havent meet each other just the relationship on internet and sending gifts to each other but love was always there until her father decided to get her married with someone else i guess i wasnt that lucky but the relationship stayed at its place and still i love here and do think she loves me aswell.The only thing needed for a relationship to last forver is the sincerity that you got for each other and respect aswell as long its in any relationship i dont think one will ever forget other.

i do not think this long dsitant relationship will last. this is becasue i had experience the taste of this kind of love before. i left my girlfriend and went to other place to study. At first, we alredy promise to each other as we will not change our love to each other becasue we can't meet frequently as i only went back to my place during university holiday. we did keep in touch everyday. But the problem is, i didnt stay beside her and accompany her. This make her love toward me gradually decrease. At the same time, she had another guy try to pick her and alwasy stay beside her. i knew it but i can't control becasue i think i cannot be so selfish and she has the freedom to talk to other guys. finally, i think you all can guest the ending. She accept that guy and reject me and didint not care what i did to recover back her love on me. I realise that, people are hard to control and overcome the feeling of lonely. This make me think long distance relationship is very hard to maintain and it won't last.

hi there.. well i dont think that these kind of relationships last long enough. Because love = understanding
