Do long distance relationships work?

Just curious... for example your partner moved 2 hours way from where you live, you still see eachother at least once a month, but only for a weekend... any opinions/experience with the issue?Do long distance relationships work?
I did a long distance relationship and we saw each other every two weeks for a weekend and it worked. We were together for over 8 years. It really depends on the people involved and how much you feel for each other. If you really love someone then your do everything you can to make it work.Do long distance relationships work?
A long distance relationship can work just as a normal one can work.


If you really want it to work, then it will.


I've been in a long distance relationship for 11 months now and my boyfriend lives 5 hours away. We see each other every now and then and plan on moving in with each other in July. I think that with a long distance relationship, you face a lot of challenges that normal couples wouldn't, and you miss out on the daily things a regular couple may take for granted. In my opinion, those things only make you stronger. It will work if you put in enough effort, stay strong and keep in touch. Talk on the phone, text, IM, and visit each other as much as possible. It will be difficult at times, but it is so worth it!
I ve been in a long Distance Relationship with my boyfriend for 4years now.. and the main issue is trust.. I trust him so much and so does he.. this really makes things easier when we go out with our friend in our town erm in the beginning it was really hard though but we eventually sort of came up with rules.. i know it sounds silly but they are really important like for instance we know we will roughly see each other once or twice a month (and we live 4 hours away from each other).. we call each other everyday or even a text msg ( communication is so important).. oh yeh and at times when we miss each other we are honest about it.. no point of being embaressed but then again when one is bussy and the other one feels sad...well the sad one must give respect to the bussy one and deal with it on their own untill the bussy one has time to get back to you.





Honestly I think LDR work but it takes time to adjust to the new lifestyle it takes dedication but its all well worth it in the end.





There are times when we argue alot and its harder to make up at the end of the dday though we know that we want each other so we try so hard to make up and make reunion twice as special





gud luck
If you love each other enough it is possible!! I think 2hrs away is not completely impossible, this can be worked out but you both need to give a valid effort to make it workable!! I have been in a long distant relationship for 5yrs now and its not as easy as 2hrs, he is on the east coast and im on the west coast, but we have managed because we both agree on one important thing, we love each other and we both give the effort to make it work!! You truly need to be two very strong individuals who are very much committed to each other!! You need to make every effort to keep close when your apart such as e-mails, letters, phone calls, messaging and most importantly you both need to make a greater effort to see each as much as possible, truly 2hrs is not that long, you both will make it what it is, so if you both really want to be with each other then you both need to make the sacrifices to make it!! I wish you luck and i hope everything works out!!
Yeah it could work! i know loads of people that have been to uni and have had there partners be away, but have managed it as it hasn't been a permanent work. Just give it a go, if you love each other that much, there's no reason why it won't work. In 5 months, thats like 20 whole weekends together, which is alot of time. Could even make you closer. Good luck!
I used to do those but I hate them now.


People always say that ';If it's for the one you love, you should do it';.


If you consider trying, I promise you guys are going to fade away.


Sorry, but its the honest to God truth.
Yes, it can. Will test the relationship to see how much in love you are though. Win win situation. If it works, fantastic, if not, then you know it wouldn't have worked anyway in the long run, so that's good also.
2 hours isn't particularly long distance.





In my experience, they don't work.
god there has to be ALOT of trust in the relationship to make it work. you have to be able to trust each other with other people if you get jealous easily it wont work. i really hope thinks work out for you!
My fiancee and I lived 280 miles away when we first met and was great for 12 months but then you will start to feel the strain. She ended up moving in after 18 months but the last 6 months before she did was tough. Hope this helps.
to be honest, i doubt a relationship where you saw each other for one weekend a month would last long.





but if you can make it work then good luck :)
It won't work. You both will fall out of love eventually. One of you are going to have to make adjustments.
Nope, it won't work. Sorry
if you love him/ her anything will
Of course it will! Love will conquer all! My girlfriend is currently 9 hours away in another country and we are fine! so a few hours is nothing! for free calling online, try using Skype.
