did'nt work... long distance relationship needs patience, understanding and trust. It's hard but if you want to work it out, make the most out of it.

We speak on skype with web cams each night. But it is hard when one of you is feeling low and needs some TLC

It works but you have to make sure it leads to something in time. You can't wait forever. ;)

I already have one and it seems very hard . But it is also a good way to test your relationship.

very rare...when it does, it is from too much effort & trust of both parties!

Thanks so much for that. I'm just glad I realised what an eejit I would have been pining for when I could be happy and enjoying life.

I just think that you're setting yourself up for disturbed conversation whilst you deal with insecure texts, early nights because you don't want to let significant other down when you're not there when they call- and of course the fact that you're setting your own insecurities up for a BOGOF banquet.

Q'Sun.. I also thrive on the abnormalities of life and I really wish you well if your other half isn't with you- but it's not for me! The older I get, the more I realise that I'm more use to my kids and to myself without getting messed about by unstable relationships. God- I sound like Germaine Greer (or whatever her name is.;))

but in general, yes i agree, it's hard to keep LDR for a long time...

The first, I waited patiently....but the waiting ended with nothing.

Then I tried again...but it ended by choice.

You are fortunate.. I have seen numerous long distance relationships break down..

Having internet/phone links is one thing, but the physical/mental interaction is key to any relationship..

LDR would be really hard. i guess it its a short period that your seperated, its fine but if its indefintely, its hard work and may fizzle out..

Brandylady's divorce might not have been via text, but I realised that my relationship wasn't going to survive the distance when he pissed me off with something he did on facebook!!!:) (By the way..I haven't even left yet..) Lol. He said I was immature.. I said I was entirely realistic. (And happily immature thanks.)

But have actually done the long distance thing too.. I agree.. it takes a bigger person than me.. and it's generally miserable.. Sorry LF!

With the available technology, the world became like a small village. It would work like any shor-distance or no-distance relationship. Provided it should no stay long distance all the time.

Things are now easier than some 40 years ago when a couple are in a relation and they reside in 2 different cities that are some 50 miles away

If there is trust, confidence in the relationship and end to the separation in sight then they can work.

My partner and I have been separated off and on for the past nine years and for as long as two years living apart due to career demands. I agree with everyone who says it takes a lot of commitment, humour and above all else..trust! The best thing about it is when you see each other it's very intense and sweet..with almost no bickering or fighting..well almost:)

They can last if each party is equally dedicated. But they are extremely difficult and will ususally end sooner or later. That said, the ones that survive are the strongest relationships, so you might as well give it a go...
