    Has anyone ever had a long distance relationship that has worked out? Or have you had one that didn't work out?

    I've had two long distance relationships that didn't work out, just wondering if anyone has had any luck with this complicated type of relationship.


    If it did work out do you have any helpful hints for some of us that are in one?

    Is Long Distance Worth It?,

    Any person worth having is worth waiting a few years for. If you both have something really special then take the plunge. You'd be surprised at how well a long distance relationship can work out. Granted, it won't be easy and you'll both go through your bouts of loneliness. However, the rewards for making it through are worth every lonely second.

    Just remember there are thousands of couples going through long distance relationships every day. There are thousands of resources available, many on this site, to help you both make it through and keep the relationship feeling alive and new. With the Internet you can both keep in contact through Internet phones, chats, instant messengers and more. The only thing stopping a long distance relationship from succeeding in these times is the relationship itself.

    I had one that was only a four hour drive apart and eventually she wound up cheating on me. She was in college and I was running my own business so there wasn't a lot of time to see each other. I do think that she was codependent, so no matter how hard I tried I couldn't be there enough for her.


    It wasn't meant to be so I'm glad that things went the way they did, but I could have done without the cheating. Long distance relationships are probably the toughest type to be involved in.

    The one with ten year old Hector didn't work out. It's now slash and burn!

    No, we'd rather you acted your age Hector. Grow up.

    Long distance relationships are not easy, but by been  incontact with each other very often, and if possible, visiting each other. Some such relationships, have worked out, depending how long you be apart for.

    I live in california. I had a boy friend who lived in kent washington. I met him while i was on vacation. I was 13 and he was 14. he fell in LOVE with me. I did not fall in love with him. he wrote me a letter every single day for about six months and named them with roman numerals. I, II, III, Iv, v, vI, etc.


    He hitchhiked from washington TWICE to visit me. I was horrified. My mother felt so sorry for him and twice she bought his bus ticket back home. he followed me for 40 years or so ... it wasn't creepy. really. it was just his obsession.         ME! omg! tee hee.

    I guess he was really, really in love with you.

    No it didnt for me , but that doesnt mean you shouldnt try to make another  one that lasts.

    I've had a long distance relationship for almost 3 years now. we're still together and very much in love.  It isn't easy at all but if you really love the person its worth it.  You just have to have a lot of trust in the person and visit as frequently as you can. If a relationship can last long distance, it can make it through any tough time!
