    me and most of my friends are in long distance relationships. my excellent friend has been in one for 4 years and it’s still very strong.
    public find it hard because they have trust issues

    It’s very hard to sustain a long distance relationship. They can work there are many public that have successful ones but the majority of them don’t. If you and your partner are truly pleased then more power to you!

  • Destined 2 succeed; but not 2day says:

    They say it based of statistics. If two public can make it work, more power to you. Just know, that you and he are in a group of very few public.

  • jukoabee says:

    Because the reason they usually dont work is, even though you like each other a lot/ like each other, you will be hanging out with other public often. And there will be times when you will need them and they wont be there but someone else will. Thats why public say that.

  • Catherine says:

    Because they have never been involved in a long distance relationship.
    Bet they won’t tell all of the deployed military personnel that long distance relationships don’t work!!

    i didnt ever tell you that. i am too in a long distance relationship. i met her on eharmony.com. shes fantastic!!!

  • RoXy says:

    Out of sight, out of mind, eh?
    and the 2 have a excellent opportunity to cheat on each other.
    it just doesn’t sound right (to me)

    When you don’t have something around with awhile you don’t miss it. Let’s take High School friends, the ones you don’t see any longer? You don’t miss them.

  • Kayla says:

    Because they’re very hard. I was in one and it was fantastic for a while, until he started being nasty..but excellent luck, you’re going to need it. And don’t listen to other public, only you know how your relationship is going so tell them to stuff it. :)

    without close contact and being able to talk face-to-face and hold hands and kiss i would not feel like i was in a relationship at all. i would just feel trapped like i couldn’t really date anyone and i had this annoying friend hundreds of miles away who i may possibly im, call, but never really see.

    How can you build a relationship apart. A major part of a relationship is being together and interacting daily with each other. Trust me I did the long distance thing. I swore to everyone it would work. It didn’t. But it’s your life. If you want to try it then go for it.

    Because it takes a lot of work and trust and a lot of public either don’t place the effort in or trust each other well enough to make it work, so the general thought of them working is they don’t. I’ve known a few that have worked though. My neighbor’s son was in Iraq/Afghanistan for nearly 3 years and him and his high school sweetheart got married when he was home for a week or two break. They have been together for about 10 years and he’s been home for about 2. It can work, it just takes a lot of effort. If you reflect it will work, don’t listen to the public saying it won’t work. Let it play out.

    public say it wont work cause most of the time ppl in long distance relationships dont see each other and they loose feelings for each other and there are other ppl involved but if you and your bf are pleased then dont listen to the ppl that say it wont work out

  • Sherry says:

    Cause your here and he is there, and u don’t know what is going on with him its only what he tells u and u take it at face value even if hes lyeing.Being apart doesn’t bond a realitionship for one u really don’t learn each others wants and needs

  • Blade says:

    A lot of public say that it doesn’t work out because the norm would be to get in a relationship with someone near you. Some public base it on society’s views and dread that such a thing is not comfortable. Dating online only started decades ago or something, since no computers long ago.

    Reasons why they reflect that is because there is no physical contact, and sometimes if the wait is way way too long, it gets tough on a person’s mind. The relationship can and will still work if both partners truly like each other and don’t mind the wait though. Distance and such doesn’t topic in like. The way you feel does.

    Other reasons may include: they dread not knowing what the person might do when they meet, some public are overprotective, they haven’t tried it themselves and is worried of it, they dread the others might cheat on each other or not truly like each other, etc.

    It’ll work, if you like each other and don’t mind the wait. Like can exist with just the heart, no need for physical contact. There should but, be some physical, if not sooner or later though. Since you would yearn to be with that person at a point and that kind of puts a strain in your brain.

    At one point, i believed in long distance relationships, but sometimes it gets too much, and one person or both public involved feel stressed or pressured because they need someone closer to them.

    I live in Australia and the man i knew lives in the US, but with 2 and a half years, things got really shaken and because i wasn’t there in the US, he chose another female over me whom he’d only known for a couple of months. If a miracle happens that shows me like can sustain anything, even distance, then i may just believe in it again, but that’s gorgeous that you and you’re boyfriend are going this strong, i support you both and reflect it’s truly fantastic. May God keep you both going strong…xox

    Cause relationships are about being together. A lot of public in long distance relationships have no chance of really being together, together I mean physically in the same room ever again and then the couple are just to wussy to end it. My rule is that if the time apart is more than a year than just end it and if you are living in the same town again try it again.

    That’s exactly why I chose to start my blog. Too many negative comments regarding LDRs. If it’s been done before then it can certainly be done and there are plenty of examples out there to prove it. Don’t get discouraged!

    My best information is to talk to somebody that’s successfully been in one or is currently in one and that’s it. You will find that these public are much different to talk to and their views on LDRs are different…they are that of the experienced! You can also find negativity with these public, maybe somebody that was in an LDR, but it didn’t go well. Notice though that most of the time the problem is a relationship or compatibility problem rather than the long-distance, but then of course, they always blame the long distance for their loss of connection.

    Negativity is everywhere, it’s nearly as public want you to fail. So I have two ways of production with negative comments: I either don’t pay attention to them, or I make my own reasoning as to how this can be achieved and then stay on my plans.

    Hope this helps!
