Have you tried a long-distance relationship?

Well I am in a realtionship now that is long distance. I live in NJ and he lives in NYC , which is about 2 hours away. We have been together for 2 years now, there has been times that we wanted to give up but we dint. i think that is is a little harder then a realtionship near by but if you really love the person then you will stay with them. The only thing that is very hard about it is, when you love someone you want to be aroung them often, you want a shoulder to cry on when you are in need but sometimes they can not be there and that puts alot of stress on the realtionship.

hi! I do believe that long distance relationship works. If both of you hangs on there. and think that you'll be together soon. I have been in a long distance relationship myself and believe me when I say it's hard. I have to spend a lot on phone calls. and if you believe in the love that you share together everything will turn out fine. pray always...

yes and as long as you are trying to work for it then this will work out. I have been in this relationship and before relationship is better but when modern technology comes in then problem start coming. There's more chances to meet new partners. You better be strong and better be faithful otherwise there's a tendency to ruin relationship.

Ive done it. Its hard. It takes a lot of effort from both people to make it work. It gets pricy, but with cell phones and unlimited minutes, the phone bull problem can be situated.

for me its been my second try and everythings works perfectly...it depends on how you handle the relationship guys...

i've been in a long-distance relationship and i tell you, it didn't work, well at least i tried, i guess it was my ex who's been too weak at that time... it lasted for 3 years though. i ended up being cheated on... well, i guess a relationship without physical connection is really hard to maintain... we've had a good friendship prior to us being couples, we were batchmates back in highschool but time came when he had to move to NY & be with his family. for the duration of the relationship we talked on the phone everyday, exchanged emails & pictures, we loved each other & all and at that time i thought he's the one... i was definitely wrong. needless to say, he dumped me for another girl. it was very painful at that moment, but it took only months for me to recover, that i also find hard to believe whenever i think of those long nights i cried myself to sleep. thanks to my girlfriends, they've helped me regain my self & my confidence... i still believe in happy endings... 'just 4 months after that heart-wrenching long-distance relationship, back in 2004 i met my beau, thank God because He didn't let me close my heart from taking risks & finding love again... i'm speaking for myslef alone... for that, i'm giving my best regards to couples involve in long-distance relationships, i hope it works out for the best.;) ZeaLy

Yes, i have my recent boyfriend who is living in Canada. We have our communication through emails and chatting. It's challenging, i agree..We dont see each other yet but he's planning to meet me this summer and i'm super excited on that day. It's not that easy having a long distance relationship but it works and our love goes deeper and deeper everyday..

I haven't been into any long distance relationship coz I know I definitely can't handle the situation. I wanted to see my girlfriend as often as possible. Yes, there are lots of technologies nowadays that we can use to communicate and bridge the long distance relationship but for me there's no better way to get in touch with your loved somebody than to see her personally and feel the warmth of her touch and caress.

I don't believe in long-distance rel. I've tried once and It hasn't work..... when u live far from ur partner all small troubles or doubt becames huges. If u really care a person u need her/him close to, a long distance relation could be managed just if are not so moved with ur bf/gf
