i used to think long distance relationships never work. but now that i'm in one, i realised that they do work. if u really want something to work, u gotta put in effort to make it work. and its really not that bad. i trust my bf n he trusts me, n thats all that matters. :D

i've been in a long distance relationship before, but that was a few years ago. i do believe that it can work. if you truly love that person, distance won't be an issue. trust is important though, because you don't get to see each other at all. it does take a little bit of effort and hard work, but together you can make it work. thank God for the internet, telephone and digital cameras too! ^_^

I have had a long distant relationship and it did not work out. we had lived together for 3 years when we were forced long distant. After 6 months things started to go bad and after a few more months we decided to break up.I guess our love was not that strong after all.

I believe long distant relationships can work out if both want it to work. its a matter of trust & faith that both must have towards each other. Based on my own experience, it didnt work out for me. both of us wanted it to work out but it was only in saying for the bf (or should i say ex-bf) he was two timing me when he was away. but thats old news. I just hope that if one day im ever in a situation where i have to deal with long distance relationship, i just hope its with someone who really wants it to work out badly. to all you all who's in a long distance relationship.. i wish u all the best!

In my opinion,if there is real love exists,nothing can destroy it.So long distance is not problem.

yes, exactly right nothing can destroy true love and if true love exists, no distance should matter. thanks for the response, + rating for you

I dont like long distance relationships because i always want my partner around me when i'm happy or sad, i've had one experience and it wasnt fun, so i dont like it.

at times when you feel a little down you would always want your relation around you for the comfort and support and sometimes long distance relationships just dont cut it for this. thanks for the response, + rating for you

I had encountered a lot of people who are in a long distance relationship. I think it works as long as both partner has trust in each other and they communicate as frequent as possible. Another factor same with conventional relationship is the openness to each other on what are the daily issues they encounter, nor how they feel.

yeah being entirely open about even the smallest of things can be very important in a relationship, it helps for your partner to get to know you better. + rating for you

I don't really believe the long-distance relationships that happened to my in my life time. Everytime I would think it a real relationship that would never cool down because of the distance. One of them did last for 7 years but later I found it's hard to keep it because everyone needs the real and close emotion but not the one far away from you. But I also see some long distance relationship that is still going on. I am not sure how long it would continue.

i see your point, everyone needs someone close to them but they cant be far away, you need someone you can fall on in person in times of need. thanks for the response + rating for you

Long distance relationship is quite challenging, especially that you have to have faith and trust. You cant see your partner when you need them, you cant talk to them when you need someone. It's sad, but it's always a question of faithfulness and commitment. If you're willing to sacrifice your time and effort for that person, it would always be a happy ever after when you get married. I've met friend couples engaged for 10 yrs and they're happy now. I am in a long distance relationship too. And it's rewarding and tiring at the same time. But as I've said, its always a question of commitment and effort. :)

ive seen lots of people who try long distant relationships and they either fail or work ... they fail b/c they're not in it together as much as the other .... they work b/c the two of you fight for it ... make sure you contact one another ... never go a day with out speaking or communicating somehow and focus on how strong your love is

true, the more effort in place in a LDR, the more chance it has on surviving and a way to do that is constant communitcation. thanks for the response and a + rating for you

i think it takes a lot of effort to maintain a long distance relationship and both parties must be really committed to making it work. i have a friend who was able to make it work for 7 years. and they ended up marrying each other. =)

long distance relationship is challenging for both.its must be trust and honest to each other.i have experinece to have long distance relationship, we have trust to each other.Its more exciting for me because you always miss each other especially when he call me, i always tell him how i miss him and i love him.But sometimes i feel sad when i remember him, but it make me strong because even we are too far to each other we are still keeping in touch, and never loose faith that we will meet soon. But every time he call me, i will end my word by saying him that eve i cannot see him what he is doing,i trusted you.

I've seen many people who can work with long distance relationships. And i've seen many people whose relationships don't work eventhough they live close to each other. I guess it's all a matter of faith and trust.
