Do you think you can survive a long distance relationship for more than a year?

Without seeing each other in person, meaning never met even once, do you think you can stay in a relationship for more than a year? I know that would sounds weird and not the typical relationship, but I know there are couples who are experiencing that kind of relationship. I just can't imagine how sweet and wonderful that would be if they can push through their relationship into marriage. Started from a difficult and rocky road relationship and ended to a smooth sailing one. What can you say about it? Good day!

hi harold i have never been to such a relationship and i think i would not be able to stand about a year of long distance relationship. the longest time was a few months but it was not continuous as my bf then was only baout 2 hours away so we would see each other at least once every 2 months.

Maybe it's really hard to say if you are not in the situation. Even though it is really difficult, I can say that it is really very possible especially if you love each other very much. Well you are lucky that you haven't experienced it. Good luck on your relationship. Good day!

Knowing some people in this kind of relationship, I can say that they could survive the relationship even if they are physically far apart. The internet has bridged that gap and so that makes them a lot confident to go on with their relationship.

Yes, internet makes it really possible. It only depends on the couples how much they are in love with each other, but it is really happening. And I'm sure a lot of testimonials will be seen in the near future. Thanks for the response. Good day!

for me i cannot survive in a long distance relationship, it's an awkward to love a person that i haven't met in person. I have an experience like that and it's really not easy to trust in a stranger but i did it in a long run i have been suffer in her sweetest lie then i learned my mistake since then But i still believe that not all the people are like that, i still believe that there are someone out who are worthy..

I think it can work for some people, it really depends. But for me, i don't think I can handle that kind of relationship.

It is possible and happens all the time.

Well, there are people who end up with one person having to move for Business, or people living in Foreign countries that have done this, and people who are in the service who have done this and able to stay faithful, and it is an interesting thing. Actually, when you are apart if you continue to remember the Good things about your relationship and stay close to God your heart does grow fonder to where it makes it even more bitter sweet when you can be together again. I know I would hate to have to experience it, but many continue to do so and most survive.

If it's a real relationship where you also met in real life or you are married yes I can. And with me many people can and do. In fact this is the history of many people in the Netherlands. Ages ago most men were fisherymen, sailors etc and seldom at home. The women took care of everything and this is still the difference between dutch women and many other women world wide. Also these kind of relationships give a lot of "freedom" to both since you also have a kind of life alone where you don't need to deal with the daily problems of someone else, the never ending comforting and taking care of your partner (esp. if it comes to women) and you can have your own friends as well.

I think I could, but it would be really-really hard. If it for us, I can make it. Especially if we could meet sometimes. But I'm not like one of those people who are bored after a week of not being touched, and act like a drama queen that "I need someone care about me physically", and break up just to have someone court them at that moment. That is not my style at all. I'm a loyal person.
