It does... And it can... But one or both of you needs to travel and visit each other as often as possible... And you need to have an end goal, with a time frame attached to it... Thank you ^^ I think it really can work that way |

I think some of the respondents in this thread are assuming that the distance in a long distance relationship is a permanent situation. I only know of 2 long distance relationships that evolved into marriage , a family etc and in both cases, the woman moved to the man's country. In one of those cases it took 4 years for the transfer to happen ,but ultimately moving to the other person's country is mandatory for such a relationship to work. There is no other way . Are they happy now ?! Yes. They are both very happy. And they were both in their 20s when they married. One has been married for 6 years. The other has been married about 13 years. I think both people have to be very practical and mature in their thinking and fully committed to the process. Ciretom made a great point earlier. Its not just long distance relationships that have a high failure rate. Relationships on the whole have a high failure rate. How many of our relationships have stood the test of time? And distance was never an issue in most of our relationships. The reality is that all longterm relationships are hard regardless of distance, and most of them fail because one person or both persons are not committed enough to sustain all the effort required. |

*"Also, because the travelling back and forth is expensive, one or both parties have to have sufficient financial resources. In fact, long distance relationships require so much patience, commitment, faithfulness,consistency, discipline, and focus, that I suspect that only mature people stand a fighting chance of succeeding at it in the long-term." --------------------------------------------------------------------- *If the other person is pretty much arbitrary to your goals (i.e. I want a baby, I want security, I want better economic or political conditions, I want to feel loved or at least not lonely, who's most likely to give that to me with the least amount of actual effort) "distance love" can work out for a while until those goals are met." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Why else, would you look for a long distance relationship. |
