What do you think about long distance relationships?

My girlfriend is constantly travelling, as well as I. Sometimes, we don't get to see each other much and so technically we do have a long distance relationship- sort of (we live in the same neighbourhood and whenever we are at home or are at school together because we go to the same school we see each other). Anyway, I think long distance relationships are fine if you can find time to talk to your spouse often. You will soon see that the less time you have for her the more your relationship will dwindle. My friend had a long distance relationship once and although she her boyfriend strongly talked to each other at first they began talking less and less when he went in to the army and I don't know if they have officially broken up or if they just don't talk because of his job I am glad to state that my relationship is coming along smoothly, though!

Both parties will most likely cheat. But, that doesn't mean that a long distance relationship is a bad idea or unworkable. It just means that both sides have to be smart going into the situation. If either side is super jealous then it won't work. If either side is a liar, it won't work. If either side loves the other person more than the other it won't work. But, this is true for all relationships!!! So, if you have a strong, healthy relationship, it will work. But, if it's new, unstable, unsure, etc., then it's going to be hard. For both sexes. I'm a guy and I've been in a few LTRs and it's a struggle. But it works if your relationship is beyond the bullshit and you know that your partner's words are real. And, YOUR WORDS have to be real too! Don't string people along if you don't mean it! But, in general a long term relationship is just as feasible as any relationship, they just deteriorate faster than normal relationships if there's a problem. Actually a time saver if you think about it!

Had a few, didn't work out, especially the last one that was long distance

Nope I haven't had one but I think it takes a lot of effort to continue keeping that love burning because you are constantly being separated by distance. The only thing you have is probably some photos and memories as keepsake.

I've never even had a short distance relationship.

I've never had one, and I don't want to. They rarely ever work out for the people that do have them.

Ridiculous.

absence makes the heart fonder. and furthermore, no matter how far two lovers are, as long as their hearts are connected, the relationship will be supplied with sufficient love, making it last.

^^ quite corny there

a waste of time

yup

broke up cause i found out he was cheating on me...he dated some other girls at the same time with me and i didn't find out till a week later where i heard one of his gf picking up on my phone calls.

Yes, I had one. It didn't last very long.
