Have you ever thought about how devastating distance can be?In some situation it can be a good thing,but even in the best,strongest relationships it can be detrimental. Whats your view on that?

I think if too people are willing to make it work than it can easily be done. I've had 3 such relationship that either started and stayed long distance or started local and then for whatever reason ended up long distance. In the cases where we were both willing to do the work and make the time for the relationship, we had great relationships and are still friends. The one where I was expected to do 100% of the traveling of over 1,000 miles all the time... that didn't work out so well. So I think it really depends on where in life both parties are and how willing they are to see it through.

Long distance relationships CAN work out BUT the couple has to be HONEST with each other about feelings, thoughts and so on AND have GREAT communication with one another....Of course trust is an important factor too but even if the trust is lacking somewhat it can still workout if the communication and honesty is strong.... I'm in a long distance relationship and though its had its ups and downs and its been rough at times for the most part its pretty good...it takes a lot of work though

If its true love. in taht case disctance do not matter. the trust should be there too. actually the people involved should keep this momentum going.

Not only love. First thing you have to insert is trust to each other. So even though your apart to each other, there's nothing to worry about. THen the second is love. Lastly sensitivity.

good day.. If two people are willing to work it out, then I suppose distance is not a factor. i mean with todays digital communication, with wed cams and the likes feeling of absence can be alleviated, we just have to put in time and effort. Of course it goes without saying that meet as much as possible or everything chances you can have.

Long distance love affair - I suppose it can work, provided that the both of you communicate constantly. Many years back, my boyfriend was working in a foreign country; and his contract was for 1-2 years. We called each other like once a week; he came back every 2 weeks (over the weekend). Absence did make the heart fonder.
