Long distance?

Do long distance relationships work?

I never used to think they could at all. But as i'm currently in one I clearly changed my mind. Some people might say its more difficult but I don't think it is, they're just different. You need a lot of trust, and patience. But they can work.

[Desuetude]

Like Louise said they're not necessarily harder but they require more trust and communication to one another. They can work of you're both willing to work for the same thing.

They do need more work than a close relationship, like communication and trust. If you have those then it will be fine, but moving away changes some people so there Is also that to think about

They only will work if there is a definite way of meeting together. In my opinion they're normal destined to fail just as much, if not more, as any normal relationship.

In my (admittedly, limited) experience, they suck. They're very possible, but they are difficult. The physical element of a relationship is a very big one, especially when it comes to brain chemistry. Physical interactions are one of the big factors in producing the chemicals that keep people attracted.

They're absolutely possible, but they're certainly not easy.

well it really depends on the people involved.. because being in a long distance relationship you need to give trust and of course the most important is time. But i must say LDR is really hard it's up to the lovers on how they can handle it. If they were able to handle it well, probably they will last. Just don't forget to communicate from time to time, but too much is not always good, you need to give him/her some space for herself/himself :D

Long distance relationships can work. In these relationships, communication is the key. Skyping, calling, writing old fashioned letters, texting and email are all good. It's also nice to make time to see the person in person, too.

Really hard to keep one working, but with enough effort it could work.
i would make sure i really like the person, because it's very tough to maintain it and even tougher to trust someone so far.

Like Louise said, you need a lot of time and patience. My boyfriend temporarily moved to another state for a long time, and it was in the beginning of our relationship and there wasn't a day that went by without my text message inbox getting full.
