that person didn’t really love you if they acted that way. That’s a bad partner, not a fault of distance.

i think a long distance relationship can work,as long as both people want it to.i’m actually in one at the moment and my boyfriend is moving again,but closer to where i am.so my mom agreed that we could visit each other.

it doesn’t work. My partner used and cheated on me and i didn’t know anything…usually people look for their spouses in real life… I think that people just use others “for fun” in the internet…from boredom and loneliness.

I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now but he was my best friend before that. I spend most of my time with him and now I’m not sure if I can handle a LDR. He’s planning to join the active airforce and I’m not sure what that means for us. He says he’s doing this to raise money for our wedding but I’d rather he just stay with me and do it some other way.

I feel as though the snecod senario is more damaging because if your in a relationship, then that person should be receiving your undivided attention. I feel as though it is slightly ok to cheat on your spouse but still give your spouse 110%. You can cheat on someone and the person who was cheated with doesn’t have to mean anything to you but they just happened to be that cute at the time. At night you still go home to the person you love the most and give your all to that person because they are there for you as well.

I am in an LDR for a month. People around me say it won’t work and that I’m stupid spending 3 hours on skype webchatting with my bf. After I tell them the story of how we met, they all become amazed about the fact that I actually do something like that. It takes a lot of trust, honesty and work to be in one, but the hardest part, in my opinion, is to tell your parents, at least if you are still living under their roof and they are your financial support. My bf is coming to visit me this December while I’ll have holiday from the university. I don’t know how to tell my parents that I want to spend a week in another city just cause I have an LDR ( 2000 km or 1300 miles. He is in the UK, I am in Latvia) .

Maybe some of those people who have been in an LDR could tell me how they told their parents and made them agree on their kid meeting a total stranger ( since me and my bf met on Facebook and have never met in real life).

My parents had a LDR. My mom lived in Jerusalem and my dad lived in California. It worked out. (Duh. They got married.) But it might be harder before you have complete financial independance and stuff. Don’t rush into the future. I hope it works out, if not, know that you probably are not ment for eachother.

They’re doable, but very hard. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and a half now, and most of that has been LDR because he goes to school an hour away. We’re currently in our longest stretch apart, but we still love each other very much, just as much as we did when we were together. Just because other people haven’t made it work, doesn’t mean it can’t

You were together for one month.
I understand it must have been hard that he passed away and you might not be over that but I don’t know how you could have been in love…
