Me and my gf have good relationship I would say, but we will be away for a few months and we could visit each other during weekends for at least a year.
Can that kind of relationship have a future ?

I think if it just for temporary, your relationship still have a future as long as you trust your girlfriend and the communication is still there. It is just a test in your relationship just be always positive. It is really hard to be in long distance relationship specially when your relationship start that you are always together but if you really love each other you can make it..

It depends. This way maybe. Depends on your feelings. But a relationship with two person living in different places from the moment they meet is doomed. For me...

I have had a long distance relationship twice in my life so far. The second time I met a man that lived at the other end of my own country. We met up together every two weeks and this seemed to work well in the summer and autumn. The challenge for us was the winter. It would have been alright if we had found a way to be together in one location eventually. We stayed in contact during our relationship with emails and text messages. We live in the ideal world technology wise these days.
The first time I was backpacking around the world and in Australia I met my future husband. I stayed with him in Brisbane for a while and we spent Christmas plus New Year up in Cairns. The challenge was being so far apart when I went home. We came over in June the next year and in the November we got married. He didn't like the climate and our marriage failed after six years.
Your relationship is likely to last. Good luck.

good day vertu007,
with reference to your post, as far as i know, a distance type relationship do have a future. hence, it relies on the hand of the partners. whether they will gonna nourish it with a lot of communication, trust, understanding and love. as these factors are greatly needed, so distance will not ruin and destruct the relationship. as they say, distance is like a rust that eat-up a steel, wherein, if you are too far from your partner, loneliness comes after. in effect, you might tend to look for a new partner. so in this situation, never neglect to work out the communication so you can be able to patch-up matters.

It all depends on you and your girlfriend. Of course the distance can have it's toll on the relationship but as long as you both have faith and are happy with each other and truly love each other then you will learn to compromise and get over the stress of being far from each other. Beside you still have the weekends. Couple i know don't even have the weekends at all.

My husband and I started out on a long distance relationship. I lived in CA he lived in WA. He would send me little gifts every once in awhile. Flowers to my work for special occassions. We talked on the phone every day. I went to visit him and soon i moved to WA. It still deals with the long distance due to his job. We go months with out seeing each other and sometimes not even being able to communicate with each other. I think if your willing to put in the effort and keep the effort going than it can work. if you doubt it and dont want the effort than it will fail.

every relationship has a future. be it long distance affair or short distance, they come to a point in the future to which both of them will find each other. our future depends on our hands, heart and will, especially our love relationship future. of course, you and your gf have a future for each other if you believe so. do not dwell on any doubt. just believe.

When Randy and I first met we met online. He lived in Idhao and I lived in California. We dated long distance for nine months before we met in person. It was love at first sight when we met in person in 2004 and now here we are in the year 2012 and we are still together. We got married in 2007. Of course we missed each other like crazy, but we made it work. Just take advantage of the time you to can spend with each other and try to pack as much fun as you can on weekends.

Oh yes, some couples even have relationships in which they do not see each other for years, at least you can still see each other on weekends. And with the technology today, you can still communicate very easily.. You can call, text or skype any time.

Yes it still does but you should still have communication with you gf so your relationship will last forever.

in my opinion is the future, if it is true milosc.Sama I had this with my current husband, lived about 50 km from each other, each one of us worked in another place, another time, we had a weekend to ourselves, and so it lasted two years, but survived and lasts longer than 12 lat.Powodzenia

LDR is difficult but it always has a future and this future depends on the people involved in it. both of you should be prepared and strong enough to face a lot of challenges, especially the physical distance, communication, and the increased risk of falling into temptation. but the beauty of LDR lies when both of you finally gets to see each other and there you will feel how deep happiness can be. an important aspect on how to make things work for the both of you is to keep and strengthen the trust and confidence in your relationship.
