It can work if it is for a specified period of time. If it is uncertain when the lovers will be reunited again - it is doomed.

It depends on the reason for separation, the age of the lovers, and the duration of the relationship in question. If separated for work - likely to survive. If lovers too young - unlikely to survive. If long term relationship - more likely to survive...

Expect cheating in any case. That's life. Distance makes the heart grow fonder (at first)... then you meet someone else, and with no supervision - sh*t happens.

It only works if you've already dated for years living close together, and you're married. Trying to maintain a long distance relationship with someone you've just started dating is foolish.

Odds are against it. After a while "love the one you're with" simply becomes easier than abstaining for an indefinite period of time. People are meant to have physical closeness when in a caring relationship, it's just an inevetable and natural outcome between two people.

Thank you guys for such wonderful posts... Some more please... :)

It can, but that doesn't mean it will.

And unless you can arrange to see one another with at least some regularity, it's really not worth it.

They rarely result in marriage. They work for a while if you have been together and then for some reason you have to be apart but at some point one of you has to move.

Here's why they don't work: you only see the good side of a person, you usually see each other on weekends so you don't see each other after a bad day or when you are sick, etc. etc. You have a very unrealistic idea of who that person is. I won't ever do long distance again. I've had a couple of disasterous experiences.

Good point. I am more intrigued by the dark side of a broad's psyche.

They are good stories but I just took an Ambien and don't want to lose anything in the story telling . I will tell them in the morning. Night.

There are those who are just near to their partner but it didn't work out...
Maybe being committed seriously to your lover should be applied to LDR as to have a positive result... :)

not having sex can be a tremendous advantage-you have to actuall;y learn something about the person-there really isnt that much variance between one set of naughty bits and the next...and if a persons character turns you on it can make up for any number of physical imperfections....

been there, done that. it's very tough. i would try to find something closer to home unless this relationship has already been going for some time and the person is having to go oversees or something.

Ok this is why long distance doesn't work...
Guy #1: I was pretty young at the time 23 and we had a long distance relationship. It turns out he had a little drug and alcohol problem that I would have noticed sooner if we'd lived in the same town.

Guy #2: A few years ago, we met on vacation, tried it for 6 months, fell out of touch, then started up again about 9 months later. But we always met somewhere in between and never had to deal with each other in our day to day lives. He had a daughter who wasn't ready for him to have a relationship and I when I spent a week there, it ended badly. He claimed I wasn't okay with his daughter (jeez, I played Internet Barbie with her for two hours, what more could I do). I think he pushed me onto her too soon and she was not ready for her daddy to have a serious girlfriend. Of course he went into therapy right after because he realized I was right, but what are you gonna do? So I say no to long distance from now on.:not:

I am a one man-woman

By misplacing the hyphen in that phrase, you completely changed the meaning of the sentence.

Advantages, you could always put your best face forward!

Dissadvantage, cant go on a date and cant touch or be intimate at all with your special somebody!

Dissadvantage also very easy for their to be miscommunications and dissagreements!

:lmao: youre wrong ,Feenix...

Feenix, you just made my day.

Haha. I'm so glad you noticed that, too!

Oh sorry... if you think you understand what i mean to it, then you're a genius.. if not, i think that is not my problem anymore as i don't have a lot of issues with relationships unlike some of you here... :P
