As they said "Distance makes the heart grow fonder". That is why a long distance relationship can really work if both partners are willing to sacrifice and to accept to whatever differences they had in their life while they are far away from each other.
I think it really depends on the two people in that relationship.
I mean long-distance is hard, but if you are really really in love with the other, you can make it through. Working together and consciously keeping the flame alive is one thing, but trusting the other one and not letting jealousy take over is almost as important.
Although distance truly does make the heart grow fonder, it can also play a huge role in being unsuccessful. I fell in love with someone that lived 4,000 miles away from me. Not only was it one of the best relationships I've had, but it was also one of the hardest relationships I've encountered. So much time was spent trying to make sure that the other person felt secure. It was a constant battle when it came to time zones and making sure we trusted each other enough to let each other have the friend time we needed. I would never be in a long distance relationship again, but I do understand the appeal. It can be so rewarding when you get to see your significant other after so much time, but it's also a terrible feeling when you have to leave. I remember feeling like my heart was being ripped to shreds every time I boarded my plane home.
It can get pretty insecure and uncertain at some points when the communication is poor in long distance relationships.
However, with technology so advanced there is a slim chance for excuses unless the partner is truly busy.
I feel honesty is the best policy in the long distance relationship. If there is true love, it may survive any duration provided there is willingness to be together.
I don't believe in long distance relationship.However, it has worked for some people I know personally. My brother was in a long distance relationship for 5 years and he married the girl, who he met on facebook for the first time, last April. I cannot imagine how could they be together after living in two cities during their five years relationship. Off course they met, but it was very often, just about one of two times in a year. Some people are really serious on long distance relationship
I don't think that there's any doubt that a long distance relationship DOES carry with it more problems than dating somebody local, but a lot depends on the two people that are involved and if they are willing to make it work or not. Trust is important in any relationship, and when it comes to dating somebody long distance, then I think that it's even more important than ever. There's no point in entering into a long distance relationship and treating it as any other, as there is going to be times when the relationship gets tested and you are going to have to know how to deal with it.
Communicating via messenger or Skype for example does put a strain on things, and especially if things aren't going well. Talking things over and sorting issues out that may come up is a lot easier face to face, and while I'm not saying that long distance relationships don't work, before people get into one, then I do think that we need to realise just what extra problems we may face, and maybe more importantly, have the right mentality to be able to deal with them.
You are quite right there @pwarbi, long distance relationships are way harder to be successful. For one, there's no intimacy between the couple. Secondly, they don't see each other on a daily basis and they see other people, so it's easy to get engaged with someone else.
I know life is complex, but if there is real love I think people should find a way to be together as a long distance relationship is the death of the relation in my opinion.
