Good morning all. Herss the question, give me your thoughts. Can a long distance relationship work?

if you have tha money and time
yes it can

i think they can

There are 3 forms of relationship;
Friendship
dating
marriage/commitment


The first one...Sure
The second...Maybe.
The third...No.

sure if you and the other person have good trust, time, money to travel and spend time with one another without crying how much wear and tear your putting on your car.

My nephew had a long distance relationship. She lived 100 miles away. They traveled back and forth for 6 years before getting married this past Aug.

Hope that helps Good luck in your quest Harbor

in my case, it would be wear and tear on an airplane

if both of you put the time and effort, sure it can work.

WOW that is a strech. I sure hope it works out for you and you are the happiest you ever been

It can in the short-term. But, eventually, something's gonna have to give. If it's serious, someone needs to move or you need to let it go. Something you should decide before you ever do it, would I be willing to drop my life and move. And, there is the possibility that once you do, and if it doesn't work, then what? Points to ponder.

I was gonna say the same thing Good luck!

The other thing is, it takes a tremendous amount of faith and trust on both parts. If either one of you is the slightest bit jealous, insecure or possessive, it can be an absolute disaster.

Tried it a few times, pffffffffffffffffftttt, no thanks. Never again!

I've tried it a few times myself, and I'm not saying that it CAN'T work, but for me if they live farther away than the time it takes to order a pizza, its just not going to work. I have no car, so if they want to see me , THEY are gonna have to be the one to do the traveling. Seeing as how that isn't exactly fair, asking someone to drive for more than 30 minutes doesn't seem right in my situation.

yep i believe that it can...but it could take work. depends on both parties and how much they are willing to compromise.

of course long distance can work. i am currently in a long distance relationship, and it is working just fine. my sweetie is only two hours away from me, but there is still a little distance between us..you have to be dedicated to making it work, emails, im's, phone calls, and make sure you see them as much as you can. my boyfriend and i are both dedicated to making this work and i have plans to move closer to him in the next few months. i'd hate to think of where i would be if i didn't take a chance on him. i really feel that i have found my soul mate (and he feels the same) and we will make this work, long distance or not.

In the end, someone has to be willing to move. If not, then it won't work.
