Any one I was ever in never worked out.But I know people who had them work before.
-
I had one for about 5 years where she was in one state and I was in another . Then we got married, then divorced after 17 years. Does that count? Actually, one of the reasons we got divorced was that she travelled too much...so I guess the answer is no.

Here are pages of answers for your duplicate question. http://www.answerbag.com/search?search=Can+long-distance+relationships+work

I've had two. One lasted for 6 years until we moved to the same city. Then it lasted 3 weeks.
-
No. They normally don't. I am sure someone has a success story but everyone has a failure story.
-
Sure, as long as you move closer to each other.
-
long distance relationships can work out but because you dont see each other in person, you need to make time for each other, to write and send letters and talk and video chat. if you want to be with that person that much then there is nothing stopping you.
-
Yes they can. I'm working on one right now. unfortunately, most don't, but that's true of most close-range relationships too
-
No

no...

Long distance relationships are hard, but not impossible. Both of you have to be committed to your relationship and willing to work past being apart. I'm currently working on a long distance relationship and we try and make it as 'normal' as possible and it works for us. Yeah we can't hug and kiss and all that but we work around it and find our own ways of being intimate with each other without being physically close.

Mine did. My wife and I met on line. We lived 600 miles apart, me in Canada, her in the USA. She couldn't move because of her children. I couldn't because of my business. We married after knowing each other for 1 1/2 years and I drove down for the weekend every two weeks for five years. We spoke on the phone every day, 1/2 hour in the morning and an hour at night. We were together for all of our holidays, spring breaks, summer vacations, etc. After the kids were finally out on their own, she moved to be with me. This month, we celebrated our 9th anniversary. It is possible but you have to be really committed to each other.
-
Yes. It takes alot of extra effort on both sides. Distance cannot deny true love (and/or awesome sex).
-
The odds are against it.
-
yeperioony! i'm in one... 1.5 years (almost) and counting! <3
-
I tried it once and the feelings faded. I met someone else but we still stayed good friends.
-
No way.
-
Yes. When I dated my ex-girlfriend, she lived in Mexico for a while during it, and everything worked out ok for then.
-
yes, im on a long distance relationship and its workin perfectly fine...we've been together for 13 months so its going like we jst started dating...i think long distance relationships are good bcuz u get a chance to miss that person..and when u see that person you see him or her...happy
-
no it cant work out
-
Yes, they absolutely can. I am in one and I've never been happier.
-
It will initially work for a while but due to the distance, usually die out gradually without any major arguments. Unless you have a set time to get marry otherwise there is no point starting it.
-
Yes they can work!! beelieeeeeeeeve!
-
They are really hard, but it is worthwhile to try to keep them going because they can work. I had one that worked out well. It eventually died a natural death because we were young, but I'm glad that we kept it going. I am now good friends with him and his wife, and will be godmother to their second child in a few months. If you value your partner and value your relationship, go for it and give it all your effort and attention. If you don't feel that both of you can sustain the commitment and value it enough, let each other go without rancor.
-
Mine did and still does!
-
Yes they can work...I am in one, my fiance is from Singapore and she works for Singapore airlines as Cabin crew. I live in the UK and we have been together now for 14 years and will be getting married in August 2009.
-
no
-
Yes, mine did. We met and continued a long distance (canada to california) relationship for two years. I'm married living happily ever after now. It can work. You need to see each other in person. Instantly, you will have that connection together, or you won't. The longer you delay meeting the higher your expectations will become. There's one way to find out...what are you waiting for?
-
it's been working for me for a year and a half :D
-
YES,I was in along distance relationship for two years, before he finished college ,and moved to my town to be with me.It had it's ups and downs but we loved each other enough to make it work.Make it a point to call each other every night and TALK,OR say I LOVE YOU!!
-
I certainly hope so. I have someone in Ireland I care about alot, for many years and have never persued it for the long distance factor. Im from literally the other side of the world.
-
I'm sure it has for some.
-
I think they are risky. Anyone can pretend to be anything for a while, but not 24/7.
-
Yes, it just takes more work and focus on keeping channels of communication open in my experience. And you have to really really like each other!! www.longdistancerelationship-tips.com
-
Honest commitment is the essential ingredient for making long distance relationships work!
-
It depends on the strongness and deepness of the relationship..........In my case it works....
-
Yes they can. I've been in one and its working out great! It take time, trust, efforts, and love.
-
Yep... I've had two (Well, LD for both was about 3 hours) Had a girlfriend three hours one way for a couple of years, and as we were breaking up met one three hours the other way. I married the latter, and we've been happily married for almost four years (Dec 24th). I think it takes regular (daily, if possible) contact, via phone or IM (best), email or snail-mail (slowest and, in my mind, worst), and being able to see each other on a fairly regular basis, but it can work.
-
Yes, it can but it takes alot of trust from both parties. I've been the traditional long distance relationship before and it lasted a little over a year. Currently my fiance travels constantly for work. He's gone for 4 weeks and then home for one and it has been this way for more than half our relationship. It can be hard but we love eachother and have no doubt that we'll make it work no matter what happens. I think it has actually made our relationship stronger.
-
I never been in a long distance relationship. Because, who knows what the other person is doing on the other side of the world/town. That is a tricky question. I'm sure someone out there might've had a good experience with that. If your not a jealous type of person, then go for it.
-
Never been in one, I would say it depends on how dedicated you are to each other. How long you've been together and how comfortable you would be without seeing each other for long periods of time... I'd say its VERY VERY hard. But give it a try. They say what or whos meant for you will never pass you!
-
Been there, done that. It didn't work for me. Some people can make it work. But, in my case, I was really the only one who was making an effort to do so.
-
It depends on the couple. But these days it should be easier than ever to have a long distance relationship. With all of the different and simple forms of communication you would think it would be easier than when you just sent letters or called once in a while.
-
It depends on how much you are willing to put into it, as with any relationship.
-
well i dont know , but i would like an answer to that as well...i met this guy through some very close friends and weve met a year ago ....started talking a few months back and now were dating he lives about 6 hours away by car 1 hour flight....he said when he asked me out that he doesnt wanna play around with me because of the whole friends in commo thing and that he did not want a relationship but after spending time with me for 2 weeks he was i town ...he felt its worth trying it out...now i am willing to work at it but is he althouhg he initiated the relationship in the first place he is 25
-
I think that they can work...It has worked for my partner and I. She is cabin crew with Singapore airlines and is she is based in Singapore I live in the UK, we have been together for 12 years and will be getting married this year, whats the secret? I don't know but it has definately worked for us whatever it is.
-
Not at all. It's naive to think that it won't be difficult or take a lot of love and hard-work.
-
Any kind of relationship has the potential for "working", it's really up to the parties. It's just that some relationships present more handicaps than others. Long distance may not be a problem, but both parties have local relationships available. Many servicemen and women maintain loving relationships while 1/2 is overseas, many relationships last going away for school. But even relationships between people living across the street can break down. So it still depends on the parties.
-
not at all its hard work and alot of commitment but my boyfriend and I were in 2 different countries for the first year until i moved
-
no mine worked 4 three years while my then boyfriend(now husband) was in the military
-
No, they can work. But it requires dedication and maturity.
