Are long distance relationships a waste of time, or can they actually work out?

I'm just looking 4 adviceAre long distance relationships a waste of time, or can they actually work out?
I haven't had luck. My ex moved away, we tried the long distance thing, I thought things were going well I was faithful and I would try to be in touch with him all the time........until I found out he was cheating.Are long distance relationships a waste of time, or can they actually work out?
1 in 10 work, most don't. usually from temptation, or maybe a longing they don't know, either side by the way. men and women may love the person they have the long distance relationship with. however the temptation of a new thing near is often to much. or as the bs is said ';one thing leads to another.'; I say that saying is bs because they put themselves in that position and know what will become of it. unless it is rape or something they do know what will happen.
It depend how much you both love each other and the reason why he/she is in long distance. Some people say yes, but to my experience it never work. I had several guys that left and when they come back, they are like a different person. Beside that you don't know if they are going out with someone else. If you have a long distance relationship, be aware when he/she start getting distance. You don't wait, go out with other people without depending in that person.
depends on the distance and how often you see, i know people that live on next street and it doesnt work and I know a friend of mine lives in uk and has just married a girl from us and they are doing the distance thing until one can move to the other country to be together they been married about 6 months now so it can work and sometimes it doesnt it depends on the couple and how much they wish this to work
they can if you are two emotionally strong people. mostly relationships like that fall apart because of insecurity or finding someone else. ive tried it before and realised i didnt even like the guy that much. will you get together again in the future? do you see a future together? thats all i can think of...is it you who are thinking of a long distance thing? go for it and whatever happens, happens. the distance will at least take the sting off of it
It depends on how strong the bond and trust are with each other. If there is trust, and love..I think it's possible. If either of you need reinforcement on a daily basis that you are loved, then probably not. if you start thinking the other is hooking up with someone when your not there, it won't work. Only you and your significant other can tell if the relationship has the stamina to endure distance. Hope this helps....
Depends on what kinda relationship you're looking for Hon.


I've been involved with a woman who lives abroad now for over a year and we are still madly in love with one another!Give each other encouragements,advice,a shoulder to cry on at times and always an ear to listen! If you're referring to a sexual relationship well then I personally couldn't see how that would work out! I know it a hard truth and maybe even rude but when alot of people say ';out of sight,out of mind'; it sux but usually true!Hope I helped out a lil?
if you are willing to make it work it will work


you just have to be patient until the time comes where you two can be living closer together. my cousin has been dating a guy from ireland for 2 years and they are perfectly happy and in a few months hes moving to the u.s so he can be closer to her. and theres always ways to see them without being with them, like video chats, thats what my cousin uses.
Long distance relationships are just the same as normal relationships, the only difference is physical distance. If you and your partner are both mature and fond of one another I'm sure you can pull of a long distance relationship. But it will be hard!
i think it would be super hard. but if both trusted each other enough it may work out. i think its always good to spend time AWAY from the person you are dating so when you get to see each other for the first time in awhile you get super excited. and plus this also helps reducing fights and stuff. it could work out though! good luck =D
Lauren speaking for my relationship I can only say that it worked out for us. We had a LDR for over 4 years then married at the 1/2 mark between out two cites. We lived about 2.5 hrs from each other and had contact daily. Trust is of utmost importance as is maturity and open mindedness. Can work but takes lots of work from both parties.
ITS ALL ABOUT TRUST. IF YOU BOTH TRUST EACH OTHER AND IF YOU BOTH ARE SURE U WANT TO MAKE IT WORK. THEN IT MIGHT...





BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS HOW FAR YOU BOTH ARE AND FOR HOW LONG!


IF I LOVED HIM VERY MUCH I WOULD GIVE IT A TRY.


I WOULD TRY TO VISIT AS MUCH POSSIBLE, AND EXPECT THE SAME FOR HIM.


IF THE LOVE IS THERE, GIVE IT A TRY!
Yes I belive that they can and will work only if you yourself belive,My wife and I meet 6 yrs ago in ouston when she was on vacation from the philippines we stayed in contact via email and phones calls,Our love and interist grew e were married a few yrs ago.Now we are waiting for our spouce papers to go through and she and our daughter will return to the US so soon,Just keep ur faith keep the love,Trust honor and respect are allu really need,If you love ur girl or ur guy then remain faithful let the one know u love them every day and just dont let go!!!!
I think there a waste of time. It really depends on he distance though. If it's pretty far like out of state it will be hard but if it's in the next county it should work out better because you will be able to se each other more often
i'm in one


and it depends on the two people


the trust and how much you are willing to give


it can be a waste of time but they could work out


but then it really just falls on the couple and how mature they are



With a good give and take relationship that has a lot of trust and commitment, they can most definitely work out. They're only a waste of time if you spend most of the time worrying about if you're wasting time.
kinda both they can actually work out but you would have to make them work out like you have to trust each other that you guys aren't cheating on each other but if you can't do that then its just a waste of time
the two that i've had were just a waste of time


you dont know what their doing when their a million miles away...


and by that i mean he could have a ***** on the side.
You asked for advice and now you get it. It is really a waste of time. No hand holding, no lips to mouth kissings, not nice and warm and squeeZing hugs, what is that then, huh?
they are def not a waste of time. im in one now that ive been in for a year. just make sure youre both going to be FAITHFUL to each other...cuz the other will never really know...
no good answer, but usually a waste of time, its too distracting, but hey... if you want to go for it!





please help me..

i wouldnt go with it cuz you dont know if they are cheating on you or something... so like that is why i wouldnt recimend it.
I agree with Kait. Once I go to college I'll have to have a long-distance with my girlfriend. I guess it means we'll just video chat or something.
well depends how serious both of them are going to take it.
