Do you think long distance relationships work?

Any relationship can work if the two people involved are both committed to making it work. But one person can not do it by themselves. It takes an extraordinary level of trust and love to not let outside influences tear it down. A strong will to overcome the "loneliness factor", which can sometimes be like blood in the water, to those who desire you.
It can be done, but it is not the easiest type of relationship to have. On the flip side, if it does work --- it can build and reinforce a very strong bond. -
If you work really hard for it, yeah. But it's not for everyone.

Mine is in it's third year and I have never met her. We talk or chat almost everyday. We are deeply in love and our time will come soon. It hasn't been easy but we have both grown from this experience.

Yes some do but you both have to really want it to work.

as an army spouse i pretty much have to make it work. sometimes he's gone for 15mo at a time. and there's no way i'm gonna give it up. i'll always be right here waiting for him when he gets back..... that said- it's tough and i don't know if i could handle it without the support system i have

It does depend on the people. I am a hermit and enjoy being alone. My Bf works in the energy industry and is gone to other states sometimes for several months before I get to see him for a week. It broke up his last relationship. His wife was having affairs while he was gone. I don't do that. I have no interest in other men and am very content to be by myself when he is away. I have my art and EP to occupy me :)

Of course YES......any relationship is a hard work.....even when two people stay under the same roof ...shouldn't take each other for granted.If you got TRUST,LOVE & COMMUNICATION....then LDR really works :)

Mine has become long distance, I am in another country and I don't think the relationship will survive.
I agree with MollyB1972, it takes a lot of strength, trust and good communication.
That last one is missing lately, the communication has deteriorated and we're down to exchanging basic emails.
I do try, but it's hard to keep talking to someone who seemingly doesn't know what to say any more. -
sometimes, it depends on the couples and the situation

I am with molly.....

Yes, just make sure you know who you're falling in love with.
-
Sure. =)
-
Yes. It is in my opinion the hardest relationship there is and if your SO is in the military you get to do it over and over again.
-
I sure hope so, I'm working on one right now
-
Oh yes, Explorers, men who go to sea for long periods of time....their wives are very good at long distance relationships.

It depends on the people involved. It takes a wicked sort of strength, ultimate trust and the best kind of communication. If one of these things lacks...not going to happen.
