    The few long term relationships I had did not work. It's very difficult to keep in touch and to have them their for you. But most of mine were just starting out or we were not together too long. I hope for you it all works out. As long as you can trust each other then it should all be good.

    I gue$$ it depends on how bad you want it.....

    Anything can work given the desire for it...

    Good luck :)

    All depends on your moral integrity and her moral integrity. I met my wife online and she was 4000 k's on the other side of Australia. There are some screening measures to use before you should be worried. Trust plays a very big part in these situations. I put a lot of trust in my wife's integrity back then. We will be enjoying our 6th wedding anniversary next month.

    Col :)

    "away from view - away from heart"

    that how it is working in most cases. but, every rule have exception. you are asked and your gf.

    dont forget to do your best (but really). dont fall in suspicious thinkings. be strong. if you really love her allways show that. even when is hard. dont loose faith. never be depressed. dont think - just love her.

    If you can be with her, be with her. And the sooner the better. Don't be apart for too long, it just gets worse. You'll miss her a ton. I am in a long distance relationship right now and I hate it. The only thing I'm able to think about is how to make neough money so we can be together again. It's frustrating, but I think that as long as you guys love each other enough you'll get through. Like the second post in this thread said. Communication is super important. Make sure you call her and write her a lot. She'll need it and I bet you'll realize you do too. At the same time, sometimes when people get seprated they slip away from each otther, so be prepared for that too I guess. Good luck!

    I doubt many people care but here is a little update...

    So far so good! :D We talk every day (phone, emails, msn etc) and we usually go see each other during the weekends... So its not too bad. If only the trains were cheaper lol

    I think we now also trust each other more than we ever did.... Quite ironic actually...

    It depends on how time you already have invested in the relationship and how much effort both partners are willing to put into it. If you don't already have a strong relationship, or both partners aren't willing to work for it, then it won't last. It takes a lot more effort.

    I did a long distance relationship for a year. While I am still with the girl and we are living together; should the chance come around where it would need to happen again, I would say absolutely not! I hated the experience...

    it's quite a strain no question and while the majority might not last forever, I think it's worth a shot in any case.

    how long/how far were you apart?

    My now wife and I had a long distance relationship going for 2 years. It wasn't easy, but we got through it intact.

    based from my experiece, it didn't... we usually feel that we're fed up being in a long distance relationship but can't do something to be together... so we ended up braking and looking for someone else who'se close to us who could fulfill our needs...

    sorry to hear that man! :(

    don't let it get you bummed out - so it wasn't in the cards, not meant to be.

    at least you tried :)
