who of you here are into long distance relationships or have been to one? what do you do to make it work? what have you done that broke it up or caused arguements? do you believe that such love life will last? it is never easy to forget the past especially if it means a lot to you.

i've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries;).

I would say you should maintain constant communication with each other to be able to maintain the feeling. It would be very difficult arrangement but it is possible to have that kind of arrangement. I have seen so many like that although there are many temptations that lurks around that but as I said with constant contact you loved for each other might be maintained and sustained for a long period of time.

Why not work? Long distance relationship is for long distance love and affair, not for marriage or making family with him/her it is just a hobby and fun and it lasts until you wish and it break if you like to end having a hubby or wife.

most probably miscommunication is the cause. And sometimes, a little bit of misunderstanding about a very very simple thing can create so much trouble for both. However, if the relationship can go on, it will most probably become a very very strong one. You can imagine, even without seeing each other, you can stand all the problems.
