I had one that lasted about 8 months, of the long distant part I mean. we've been dating for 13 months. During the long distance I was 2 hrs away from him, we talked everyday, saw each other almost every weekend. Got each other holiday gifts, were just like a regular couple. We also broke up twice. Once when I'd first moved because he didn't think it would work, the second time because he had said something about me behind my back. We managed to work through it and still talk ti each other everyday and are close.
I've only been back a month, its exciting to be with him again but who knows if it will last.. -
wow good luck 2 you its hard im glad you got a chance to actually go back after hanging on for so long, some arent so lucky

Yes, for 3 years across the ocean.
It became hard, we started arguing, getting suspicious.
When I could not take it anymore, cause i missed him so much, he left his whole life and moved closer to me. We have been together for 7 years now.
I sacrificed a lot, he sacrificed it ALL.
When we look at our baby---it was all worth it. -
If ending one is considered successful, then I'm happy to say; "Yes!"--|------

It's always nice in the beginning. After a while it just gets tiresome or depressing. Unless you meet at a very good time in your life where you can visit each other often or move. I've found that theres always one person in the relationship that puts the most effort into it. In my case both times I was in a long distance relationship it was always put on me to do all the dirty work, pay money to go visit the other person, or reassure someone, or make someone else feel better, sacrifice my time my money my mental sanity. In the end I was always tired and after the last one I had I know I couldn't do it again, not unless I was 100% percent sure. Even then I'm not sure I have enough fight left in me to try and make it work. It was all too hard and much more stressful than any relationship I would have had with someone nearby.
In all honestly since my last one ended I don't feel that stress or that pressure to hold something together that was obviously doomed from the start. I feel like I can finally breathe and focus on myself for a while.
With all of that being said, there are the few exceptions. If you have met somebody thats willing to put as much effort into the relationship as you are, and you've met someone that you really connect with, then anything is possible. -
Yes i do. I still do. Its great. Well sometimes bad but still good
-

I've been in a on again off again long distance relationship for 2 years almost. We fought, we broke up, I poured my heart out and I got nothing back, he poured his heart out. Things are going very well now, it's been a very long time since we've seen each other. But after all we've been through I can definitely tell you this: You need to be open and honest with each other. It doesn't matter if you feel like an idiot saying what you say. If you can't speak your mind or be honest about your fears then things won't work. I move 10 minutes away from my guy in 50 days, and I see him again in 10. All the ups and downs, all the missing will be worth it then.
