I tried and it bombed horribly,I have some good friends it seems to be working for.
I think ld is possible but odds are unfavorable. JJ

Personally? My now husband and I first started long distance. It was great! I had my space and he had his! It was not until we lived together all the time that we started to not handle a (grown up relationship)! I have heard others describe long distant relationships as blocks against the realities of true loving moments.
Dunno if that helps any....

I had a four year long distance relationship, it was hard work and I could never trust him. In the end I ended it.

I had one way back in the day. We lived a few hours a part. In order to have a good happy long distance relationship yeah you gotta be able to trust a person.

As well you must understand, they have "their" life and you have yours. So there will be times when you don't get to see each other or talk as much. Its something you have to be able to handle as part of the distance. Not personaly knowing who all they are with and who their friends are.

Plus the fact of making time to visit each other can be stress full.

you gotta be emotionaly strong to hold a long distance relationship.

We called ours off cos' well life changes and it got to the point to where there wasnt enough chances for us to be together.

If I can't see or feel the person then it really is not a realationship. I like to think that I can trust people but have learned from past relationships that it is only a matter of time before that trust is abused.

I met my now hubby while he was fighting in Iraq. We have been together for 3 1/2 years...married for 3. I think it all depends on how much you care and if you are willing to fight for it or work on it.

Eah and I met, then she was gone to Eastern Europe. We spent five months with air mail letters and very expensive phone calls. I don't think either of us ever considered the trust issue, it just never came up. We both were so absorbed in being anxious for the next form of contact. That was about 16+ years ago. I think LD relationships need to have a time limit, a date to look forward to to keep you motivated to move toward, to finally be close. LD has its own stress and toll on a relationship. Once suspicion gets in it is hard to get rid of. Either find a way (agree on a mutual plan and commit to it) to be close or be honest about the future of the relationship and move on. This is only my opinion you have to find out what is right for you.

thanks for all your comments guys this guy does mean alot to me
