long distance relationship

In my experience long distance relationships don't work. I have been engaged for four years with a man who lived just 60 km far from me but I saw him just once a week. It's difficult to know well a man if you see him seldom.During the week you would like to do things with him but you can't. On the whole it's not a good experience, I think.

I met my girlfriend online. We have been carrying on a long distance relationship for just over a year. It takes a lot of work but we are both putting in the time and effort to make the relationship last. We are now in the planning stages for making the relationship permanent. We are making plans for her to move and are talking about marriage.

They must work for those who can deal with them. I don't think they would work for me. My son and his now wife had an internet relationship for 2 years before they met and got married. He lived in the US, she lived in Holland. They now live in Holland together.

The internet Relationships don't work in my opinion. People lie and sure they may so you their real picture but how much of the things about their life do they tell the truth. I met a guy on the net 3 yrs ago, we chatted on the net and talked on the phone everyday for hours then months later he moved here to where I live and we became roomates boy was that a mistake. I found out he lied a little about himself and didn't tell me he was very much mentally disabled. I had to be his mom and help him with everything. I told him months later after all that I couldn't do this anymore and that I was pregnant. he didn't want to stay in this town, I told him I would help him get a place here so he could see the baby. but he decided to call his mom and crying he told her "nobody loves me and she is braking up with me" He then told me my mom hates you. I told him why , she don't even know me. Its because I won't take of you right? He didn't answer I knew it was true. Later when my son was born he asked for pictures and I sent them. But then he emailed me back complaining he don't look me, he looks like you. I told him he's got some of your features. he never wrote me back. so I have never mentioned him to my son. He's 3 yr and as a step dad he calls daddy. but we're divorced and not with him eigther. If my son ever wants to know his real dad I will tell him the good times we had together.

Hello,evelynlyp,I am not in long distance relationship.I have to say someone may find their partners online and keep their relationship or marriage forever,it is hard to say whether it works or not,but i am sure the couples need to trust each other more than other couples who can see each other any time. Those couples in long distance relationship can only keep in contact by phones or internet,they cannot touch each other,it may be hard for them at times. They may feel lonely even in relationship as they do not have their partners beside.

I have a long distance relationship now.. I met my boyfriend in the game online. we often played together.. but we chatted by SMS more than in the game. Now we're going to 2nd anniversary.. ^-^ I think if you trust your partner and be patient to meet him/her.. it will work.. =)
