Do long distant relationships really work?

probably not

Well I have a friend who's bf lives on the other side of the Atlantic. Not only must they put up with seeing each other once or twice per year because of the difference, the time difference is a b*tch. And I have seen the effect it has had on them both, although they have been doing it for five months. I am of the opinion that it depends on the person, relationship and dedication because it takes work...tons of it... its heartwrenching but when you love someone you will make it work.

For a long distance relationship to work, the couple has to have a very strong attraction(both physical but more so emtional)other wise it can't last. there wouldn't be anything holding it together. Without the long term you at least have the sexual attraction to make up for the of lack of the intillectual one. but if you don't have that then you'll know if it's love or not.

No, it does not.......because when you really need someone, your buddy is not with you .....when you want to share your happiness and tears with someone, she or he is not with you........but some other person may be there at that time to become your strength and you will feel this person is more important than your distant friend. so slowly slowly distant relationship fades out.........as per my experience.........we want to live today and not tomorrow because tomorrow never comes.

Generally they do not. In say 10% cases they do work. Firstly there is the problem of distance and logistics. The culture, way of life, values are all different.If there is a break up it is hell of a problem to resettle.

Sometimes they do work ......... and sometimes they don't ....it depends on how strong it is....... but i had a friend got merried from a long distant relationship and it worked out fine .....Good luck

well from a girl who had one and whos still in it altho its not long distance anymore...they do!! and boy do they work!!! u just have to communicate and love..rest of the stuff works out on its own..

most of the time they dont its too much work but i guess if you are willing to work hard at it then there is no problem and also trust is very important

my fiance is serving 10-15 yrs in federal prison so I hope they do... I think it just depends on your level of commitment to each other.

they can if they are strong and you see eachother often....with alot of hard work and discipline and trust you can make it through one easy.

Yes it works.But you have to trust your partner
