Long-distance relationships

well, foremost, long distance relationship is really a very big sacrifice for both partners.. The only way their relationship could survive is to establish loyalty and trust to each other.. Of course, daily or constant communication is also important.. Most long distance relationship that I know didn't work out because of jumping to conclusions.. Sometimes, when one doesn't send any message, the other would think something is going on.. Suppose to be, the partner will be broad minded and instead of thinking that there is something wrong going on, it would have been nice to ask why the other partner miss to send any message.. maybe there is a problem and that doesn't concern your relationship.. you see, long distance and short distance relationship nowadays could be the same since we have technology.. you could always see each other thru the webcam.. However, if the problem is technology constraint, then both partners should really assure each other that they will remain in their relationship no matter what.. in the issue of missing someone, then maybe their has to be a sacrifice to visit each other once in a while.. After all, the relationship is what is at stake so both should cooperate to make it work..

I had the same experience before. I and my boyfriend live hundred miles from each other. It was a challenge for our relationahip. But we only need 3 things to keep our realationship. TRUSt, LOYALTY and LOVE..

We hold on to these three things and we survived.

We now live in one City so we can see each other any time of the day.

For the long term solution, I strongly advise you guys to take your efforts to come to the same city toghter if you surely want to keep this relationship with her, and I don't think long-distance relationship will have a better result if they can't stay together always...

For the short term solution, I think you can have a kindly communication with your lover and tell her all about your concern and let both of you make more confidence for your relations...so good luck and hope you can get your lover in the future...thanks

Online/long distance relationships are a joke! I know so many people who meet online, but they do not take the steps needed to meet each other in person. Then there are those that meet in person once, and never see each other again. To be with the person that you love, you have to take the steps necessary to get to that person.

You can work it out, if you remain in contact, at LEAST every other day or so. But you have to trust each other, make the best of the time you DO have together.

The conversation is the important thing here. Quality, not quantity. Spend time talking about what's going on, but don't complain about anything the other COULD have done or be doing, when they are miles away, and can't. That induces guilt and frustration. They have to be enjoyable.

Write emails and send pictures back and forth. The internet has made Long distance relationships a bit easier, but also a bit harder, as while you can see each other, if you really love each other, you want to hold them, but can't.

Long Distance relationships CAN work. Only two times a year will be tough, but anything is doable, if both are willing to be without the other for so long.

I am not in a long distance relationship, but alot of them don't work out. Not saying yours won't, but you never know. If you really want more, then one of you has to be willing to "relocate" otherwise this will drag on for years and who knows, by then she might have found someone else and you can't go back and get all the time you lost.

It is hard to be in a long distance relationship if you dont have trust to your partner especially when something happened to your past that you could not give another chance to be far apart. Like for me when the time my partner was away for more than a month, its hard for me to relax my self if what was he doing and whom with him for that day. The only thing i do is to make something else that i could divert myself in order not to give stress for my self.

It is a great challege for those who have long distance between. Somebody will think that it did work as it will increase the relationship after the departing time. But depends on how long you are distant and how long you are going to meet each other. In my disctionary, a week is long enough to see each other. We are human beings only rather than the saint, we get to maintain the relationship with each other by communication, not only through the phone, but from the little behaviour. I don't think that love can be tested by the long distance.

I spend several years to keep the long-distance with my ex, and finally we moved together and realized that many problems existed nowadays. The several years is not a short time that we can escape. I think I just waste the time in those years and now need to start over again.

But if you really love her, just stick to it and talk to her to find a better solution for solving the distance problem for the sake of future life. Effort is worth those times if you think it is worthy of it. Good luck to you.

Just like majority people here say that they dont work because of communication and love i agree, eventually you have to be together and cant be away from each forever, it hurts and sucks espically like when you have those moments within those bad days and that person isnt " THERE " with u, to like give u the simplest thing such as a hug or a pat on the back or sumthing, its rough but its beautiful when you first meet and stay together ...however dont be a dummy and be surprise if it doesnt work out, or if sum cheating or something to that level goes on in that relationship..dont blame that person but just keep in mind and to yourself.

i have been involved with this kind of relationship before sad to say i have been working hard for the relationship for quite sometime but, sad to say it didnt work out..we could see each other 2 times a week since she is in another city and im working far from that city..and i did came to a point that she met another person, so it came to my mind that having long distance not only needs constant communication but also continuos touch..
