I Believe That Long Distance Relationships Can Work

If Its Meant to Be It Will Happen.

I believe long distance relationships can work if both involved are willing to put forth the effort and dedication to making it work. If one person tries 110% to keep it going while the other just sits back and relaxes, then chances are the relationship will go nowhere. It takes two people to make a relationship work. You also need to remain faithful and truthful. If you did something wrong, don't try and hide it, it will only make things worse in the end. You have to be upfront and honest with him/her and tell them what you did, and if it's meant to be then they will take you back and you will have a second chance to make things right and regain their trust. God works in mysterious ways, but if your meant to be with your significant other, He will make sure you are on the right path.

I am currently in a long distance relationship myself and it is hard. But nobody said it was going to be easy. If your patient and are willing to wait on that special someone then it everything will be worth it in the end. You just got to believe and don't ever give up. :)

I am sure you are right about the need for a mutual effort and commitment. In my case, a particular disappointment has been that, although we both have skype and could talk for nothing, this only happens very rarely (and probably only then because I have kept mentioning it) and a third party is invariably in on the conversation. I am an eternal optimist, though, and almost worship the other person so, whatever happens, I will always love her. Maybe the need for great patience is essential, in these situations. (PS 3 months on from this posting, things are as they were and I don't see the relationship progressing any further. But, I shall continue to give her whatever love she will accept, moving forward.) [PPS Two years on & I can say that there is almost nothing left of it. The feelings were on my side alone. Other experiences, on line, have convinced me that, with rare exceptions long distance relationships, especially on line, do not work.]

You are absolutley right, I have been in a long distance relationship for 2 years. It was the hardest thing. I was 110% trying all the time, i never let him forget me, and he of course tried too, he was faitful and always picked up my calls. We both were frustrated but i knew that if both of us gave up it wouldnt work. And after coming back after two years, It WAS worth it. I could have never found anyone like him. I never wanted anyone but him, and i thank him for believing in us as well. So your advce is true, it is worth it in the end. You just need to be strong :)
