What are your opinions about long distance relationship?

@royanne Long distance relationships can work. It is all about trusting each other.

Yes, it really does depends on those two people who chose to be in a long distance relationship. Some couples try their hard to make their long distance relationship work out and some on the other hand just give up as with long distance relationship their comes many problems and obstacles. It depends on you and your better half that how much in love you are and how long will you make it work out against all the odds. :)

It works for some and others will not.

well honestly to me they hardly ever works especially if it started out as a long distance relationship.. you can be dedicating your time and everything in the person only to find out it was all a lie

For a long time I thought that long distance relationships would never work out. However I now have friends who are in a long distance relationship and have been for about 7 years I think and are now engaged. They have had their rough patches just like any relationship but neither of them have cheated and they are ultimately happy. I personally know I couldn't have a long distance relationship as I like to see the person I am with at least once-twice a week and I think I may become insecure and paranoid. So I really do think it really depends on the people involved.

Hi @royanne! I am from the Philippines as well. I guess it works but you need to hold a big trust to your partner and by means of continuous communication

My opinion I do not think a long distance relationship would work because I would have to see that person everyday. I feel as though they might cheat on you, these days you can't trust people.

It depends on the person. I took a courtship & relationship class this semester and there are a lot of variables that go into the success or fail of a relationship. Our personalities and attachment styles play a big role. If you both have secure attachments and have the Openness, Agreeableness, and Extraversion traits from the big five personalities then a long distance would work fine for you or you are at least more likely to not break up. Dismissing attachment styles are the ones who have the hardest time committing because they have this whole I'm independent and don't need you kind of personalities so they don't feel the need to have to be in a relationship and may not feel the need to be as faithful. There is just too many correlating factors that can affect a relationship whether it is long distance or not. I am currently in college and spend 9/12 months about 4 hours away from my boyfriend and my family. He and I are going on 4 years together and the distance has done nothing but makes us stronger as a couple. It basically was a test to see if we were meant to be because even though we went from seeing each other every day to only seeing each other at breaks we were still able to communicate what we were feeling.

I am positive. They could work. But it depends on the persons.

Love, Trust and Dream. I salute people who can endure that long - distance - relationship. They are strong. Strong mind and conviction are their weapon to survive the longingness and loneliness.

it needs a lot of trust on your partner and it would just work if one is willing to end being in distance, I mean if one would come over to your place or you to their place so you won't stay apart. Advantage is that, you can do a lot more without really going too much issues with your partner and you can build yourself on your own.
