Difficult But True

I guess if 2 people are really committed it must work. How often do you manage to meet up?

Its true these LDR's are difficult...Im engaged to my guy who lives in another country. Its so hard having trust for someone you dont see daily. But trust plays the key factor, as well as respect, love and honest/open communication.

It takes alot of work to keep the relationship going, and there are other commitments too like financial ones. But when you love someone so much you do anything to make things work.
Good luck, and talk throughyour problems when they arise, dont let them simmer....xx

I think they can only work if both parties are equally committed. It is no good if one party makes a lot of effort to keep in touch, but the other does not. It should almost go without saying that the couple will want to talk every day, if possible, for example. So if the other person does not want to do this, and will only do so very occasionally with a third person present, after many requests, the outlook is maybe not too good. As I said in another comment, patience is a help, here and a willingness not to set hopes too high, while remaining hopeful

I'm in a LDR with a wonderful person we have been togather for over 2 years , we never met , but deep inside i believe that somone day its gonna happen , no matter the distance and hope anyone who is in true love can make it to the one they love. :)
