My girlfriend is studying oversea which is 1000 miles away from me. Do you think a long distance relationship can work?

Yes, a long distance relationship can work but it does involve more effort than having a local boy/girl friend. These days couples that are far apart can communicate by text messages if they have a mobile phone and by email if they have access to a computer. It might be possible to get cut price phone calls so that is worth looking into. I met a lovely Australian man when I was traveling around the world. We fell in love and this made it difficult for me to fly on the next leg of my trip to Darwin after we said goodbye in Cairns. I had to go though because my working holiday visa would have soon expired. We had many expensive phone calls and letters took up to a week. He came over to my home country and we got married. He didn't like the cold climate. A summers day was cool for him and the winter was freezing. We got divorced six years later. Good luck with your long distance relationship.

It most definitely can! My wife and I were apart a lot in the first couple of years of our relationship as I had to travel a lot and had to spend considerable time back in my home country as well. It takes a tremendous amount of trust and respect and good communication to make a long distance relationship work; but the best thing about it is that you truly treasure the time you DO spend together and there is rarely a time you will take each other for granted! It will be what you both make of it.

Yes i do.. My finance live 2600 miles from me.. and he either flies to see me or I him once a month.. He is currently taking care of his sick father.. but he asked me to marry him and I said yes.. I just got back from seeing him and his family last week.. We talked for over 4 months before we even saw each other and now I am in process of moving there to be close to him and help take care of his father. When you love someone mileage is only a number.. and give it time it will work out.. I can't wait to be back in his arms again.. Give her some time.. if you love each other it will work itself out.. and if you don't, then you need to both move on with your own lives.. But i am here to tell you it does work,, just trust your heart! Good Luck, Deedee

it can work , but with alot of phone calls , and keep in touch , but yeah it might become a little bit of a hassle keeping up on her like that but hey , its what you have to do to keep the relationship..and then again your thoughts are always going to go into the negative zone , wondering what shes doing , why isnt she responding to your emails , or is she lying to me ? u gotta keep it alive or unless its not going to work

yes it is as long as the faith and trush is there... long distance wont the a reason for the both of you.... distance is just a matter of number. and right now the world is too small. now a days you can chat nor text her/him.

You know eveything will work if both of you will have trust and respect and especially love to each other..new technologies are up so it is very easy to have a communication to your love one and don't think about the distance, just think about the relationship to be work..c",)

It would depend on you. I mean if you really love each other then no amount of distance would stop you from being together by heart. Though I should say taht its not easy, because you will meet a lot who is better than her, and since you are far from each other, more likely you will fall... and that's the end of the story. So, the best that you can do, is make your communication more frequent, say i love you more often and trust and be worthy of each others trust.

i do believe it can work.. just depends on how loyal you are and that you both dont change so much that you cant adapt to each other when you reunite.. if your relationship is strong and meant to be it will work out

Its possible that they can work but both partied have to strong and are very good at trusting each other... It is hard work let me tell you... My husband was jsut two hours away from and it was hard... I only got to see him on the weekends and some times i couldn't see him on the weekends.. All we had was trust and support for each other.. We finally got tired of only seeing each other only on the weekend so we got married.. It is possible for it to work you just have to have alot of trust in each other and Lots lots lots of communication...
