they 100% do NOT work...says the girl who got her heart broken. I could do it...he couldn't. Evidently the wait to see me drove him to going to the movies with some chick he just met...and then swapping naked photos with her. That was fun. Glad HE was having a great time. I didnt find out til I had traveled 12 hrs and spent over a grand to see him. GRR
but Im not bitter! ![]() |

I guess the best advice I could offer is to keep your expectations low and your appreciation for the times you do get to see each other high. I'm in a very happy long distance relationship, and have been for a couple of years. I always look at it this way: I'd rather have this guy in my life, and not see him nearly as much as I'd like, than to have any other man and be with him all the time. It certainly isn't for everyone, and it most definitely isn't conventional, but it seems to work quite well for both of us. That is great advice, thank you! I'm happy that your relationship is working out so well. Do you ever talk about moving closer to one another? Do you get to the point where long distance just isnt' enough anymore? Sorry if I'm nosey! |

Once in a great while they do work. Personally I stand a better chance of winning the lottery.

They are soooo hard! Sometimes I wonder if I am cut out for it. I feel disgruntled much of the time. When we are together it's really great, but the in-between times are hard. Any tips for making it a little easier? Any success stories out there? Thanks! I think trust is the number one key in a LDR. |

I am very happily in a LDR.....We have total trust in each other and know that we are meant to be together and we will be soon. We have been calling, texting and talking on Messenger for the past two years....we spend the nights on the phone listening to each other sleep. It sounds silly, but that is the only way I can get a good nights sleep anymore.
Good luck with yours. |

A long distance relationship is the same as having a pen pal. Don't expect it to be anything else.

A long distance relationship is the same as having a pen pal. Don't expect it to be anything else. There are a few on here that have worked out just fine...... Tigerman & Fallenangel bad_girl & sharpshooter eileena9 & TheCaptain shuttergal & AntonK Wolfsprit & SandyLou And a few that came to the site already in a LDR, that are great examples.... papersmiles & Quiet_2008 pink_lady & Dan99 I apologize to any I have left out.....brain is fried.... |

Most people can't even get short-distance relationships to work out, so what makes you think that LDRs would?

Not for me thank you.

Does not work for me at all...

The one that actually does the moving to another location, lets say 1,000 or more miles away has the burden of just the stress of moving, the expense of moving, finding a new job, finding new friends etc. The one expecting all this should be helping in everyway they can.

They are the bomb! ![]() Why does someone HAVE to move? If it's working as it as, and travelling isn't a huge, financial expense, why does someone have to uproot? I have a friend, whose wife lives in Austria, with their children, and has for probably about 20 years. They all come back to Canada during the summer and he flies out every three weeks or so. I think it takes two pretty strong-minded, independent people to make this sort of a relationship work, but it can, and does. |
