How can you make youre relationship work, if you are so far away from each other,

I've tried the long distance relationship thing a couple of times and for me it has never worked. Every relationship gets to a stage where you want to be close to your loved one every day, wake up next to each other and be able to get a kiss and a hug when you need one. Being so far apart makes this impossible. So for me... It doesn't work but then I do know of others that make it work. TRUST plays a major part in such relationships. All I can say to you is good luck and stay positive! If you are meant to be together nothing will keep you apart!

Yes you are right, thanks for the comment,

who?

Well the good news is, someone took a chance on you Long Distance.
The "bad news". It cannot ever be a replacement for closeness. I just got out of UTAH where blank Peterson was supposed to be this big long distance, socially balistic, and romantically over the top Super Smoothie. When the investigations started, so many women came forth and told tales of seduction and rape. He shot himself dead before it went to trial.

With that being said, LDR's are just that. Very long ways to get aquainted, very far to say hello in person, very hard to determine habits and mutual activities you love to do, very hard to tell what he or she will do if you were't around. Is there a screw loose. Does she yell violently at her children when you are not in her presence long enough to find out. Does he/she have other bad habits you just cannot find out about unless you know her/him and their friends. Does she live within her means. Does she mean what she says. I've just been through one that lasted 28 years, and a second "online LDR" that lasted 2.8 years. You be the judge. Even close up, it's really hard to ask all the right questions when all you want to do is let the hormones take over, right? Do we really know ourselves, let alone someone miles and miles away. It's entertaining. It's a real thrill to believe it can happen...and sometimes it actually works out. Best of luck to you guys and gals who want to see if it can be done. Statistically, it's very difficult unless you are ultra patient, have similar handles on reality and spend a lot of time getting to know each other.

VERY TRUE THANKS :)

You have raised many valid points.
Welcome to the site.

I have been in one long distance relationship and that lasted several years, I have to say it kind of does work in a way, but in another way it is not really good idea, because my girlfriend was in Syria, while I was stuck here in the states. And we where both miserable at times because we could not see each other and we would only get to see each other a few times every few years.

you made a valid point but when two heart are meant for each other, distance can not come inbetween...both parties have to be patient and understand each other very well
