| My opinions on long distance relationships is that they don't work. Only way i feel they work is if you and that person live in a 100mile radious here's why,because anything over a hundred miles is costly i know your mate is worth it but you cant keep doing that and plus how many times a week will you see that person.
If im with you i wanna at least see my girl everyother day if not everyday i wanna take you out, go places with you how you gonna do that when someone's miles and miles away to me its not realistic at all it doesnt work. Like i said on the 100mile thing either you or her have to make the desicion on moving with one another then you have to think about kids relocating, kids in school uhhh! it just a mess to deal with. I wish that it would work, but either you or her has to make that big move the 100mile thing to me it's like i don't think 100miles is to far to see someone everyother day. Once a week, twice a month is not enough to see your mate hell! no it just does'nt work  prove me wrong someone.

| I am trying to prove you wrong? I have been seeing a guy 80 miles from me for 2 years now. Its not easy I wish things were different but for now its the way it is. He is laid off in the winter. I have my own business so he can work with me (every other week) in the winter. When he is here life is perfect but I don't get to see him often in the summer it really stinks. Toss in his kids that don't like my rules and sometimes I have to wonder what I am doing. I was strict with my girls and the rules they had to live by. His kids have it somewhat easier. We have never had a fight and can talk about anything. Except this kid issue is testing us right now. This is not how I wanted things to be when I started over but if we have to live this way a few years then what the heck. I would rather be happy part time with someone I really care about than find someone just because he is close that I have to work at gettin along with. I have a friend that is marrried to a guy that drives over the road and is only home about 6 days a month. She lives the same way I do since he lost his job and started driving. There are alot of people living like this that never planned to i bet.

| There are planes, trains, buses. etc. And usually when there's chemistry, things will fall into place and 1 person will relocate.

| Long distance does NOT work. I won't do it again.
I can't relocate and more than likely he can't either (whoever he is)

| They are very hard and difficult as you can imagine being separate from the one you love but as long as you have a plan to be together in one place then it can work. We only managed to be apart for about 5 months and will be together soon for the rest of our lives!

| I agree, long distance relationships are difficult to maintain. It takes constant communication and working toward a mutual goal. We have about 800 miles between us, and I'm not willing to commit to a long distance relationship, but I'm not looking either. Is it going to work out for us? I hope so, but I can't predict the future, it looks good and feels right so far. Not being able to "see & touch" one another everyday makes it difficult and frustrating. As I've said before regarding this topic, you take one day at a time and let it flow in what ever direction it takes you.

The kids would be an issue even if he lived next door. Its not easy to blend 2 familes together.

| Woah, I'm hearing some pretty negative feedback on this topic and you guys aren't even talking about REAL LDR's either!
Try talking to a man who lives 1800 miles from you, now THAT'S a LONG ass way! And that's what I've been doing for quite some time now.
I will be meeting him in person at the end of this month. Will it work? I'm not God so I really haven't the foggiest, but I am optimistic that it will.

| Mine is 1200 miles away and we met here. For us, failure is not an option. 17 days and a wake up! Can't wait! California here I come.... 4eva!
I wish everyone here the best if they decide to pursue a LDR but speaking from experience, there are some days I just wanted to say screw it and book the first flight to see him. After a little common sense set I would tell myself that its only temporary until I could go to sleep and wake up in his arms everyday for the rest of my life. The distance is the hardest thing I have ever had to endure in my entire life... having said that, it makes us REALLY appreciate every minute we are together. I think you value your relationship even more when you know you have had to overcome so much to be together.
