long distance relationships...do they work out often? or should i just give up on this even though hes the sweetest guy in the universe

Long distance relationships are incredibly difficult. In order to work, they need a few key ingredients.

Maturity, love, faithfulness, and trust. Also, constant Internet service and phone service help a lot.

I am currently in a long-distance relationship and have been for over a year (I've been in the relationship for more than 2 years but the long-distance part for about a year and a half). My boyfriend is a Marine stationed in Japan and I have not seen him for about 6 months. It's extremely difficult. DO NOT take long-distance relationships lightly. I become so frustrated with couples who say they will make it work, they will stay together, etc....and then realize how difficult it is afterwards, break up, and cheapen the outlook on the situation.

However, if you continue to work hard at them, they are worth it. Every time my bf comes home, I am reminded why I put up with the loneliness and the depression. A week or so with him is worth the months apart. Heck, even a day with him is worth it. When you feel like that, you know that you have found the One and that you can handle anything life throws at you. Long-distance relationships definitely reorganize your priorities.

it depends on how far away he is. Is he faithful? Is he true to you? ask your self these questions they mite help!

Every relationship is different. One of my friends moved three thousand miles away a little over a year ago. Even though we're just friends, I think that the distance has made our relationship stronger. We appreciate the times that we get to talk on the phone or on the computer since we don't get to see each other. But I think it has a lot to do with our friendship being as strong as it was before he moved away.

I also think that it all starts with how strong the relationship is and how strong the two people in the relationship are. If one or the other or both aren't strong from the beginning then the long distance relationship will more than likely not last.

if you make them work they'll work. but if you can't stand not havin' the guy right there with you...then you should probably try and move on. and you'd have to be able to trust the person completely...good luck! :-)

well..I had a long distance relationship and it lasted a month and the distance was NOT what broke us up, but I think that they can work if you make them work....give it a try

long distances can & do work.

my friends guy was back in Alabama and she was here with her mom (this guy sent her here to get her away from her old man) she went back about 2 weeks ago and last I heard she's engaged

You have to have a strong prior relationship. My sister was in a long distance relationship for 4 years and is now engaged. Although, I think the actual distance also matters. They were only about 2 hours apart.

It does not work.

No. It won't. You guys are too damn optimistic.

if u love each other it'll work if u don't 4get it

Give it up. It'll never happen.

i totaly believe that long distance relationships can work! im currently in one with a seriously fucking awesome girl!

You never know, it could work out. It'll be hard though, so be ready to work for it. Good luck and congrats on finding the sweetest guy in the world
