Mine failed.

Lack of trust and too much pressure.

So my answer is no. Long distance relationships do not work

. . . . Unless you have something really special. Then in that case you'll stay together no matter what.

i really CAN wait to find out..

probably not though. my boyfriend will give all his pspare time to MOHAA/his best friend/tennis/his best friend/MOHAA/his best friend...

in a few days it will be like - 'who's clare? girlfriend? never had a girlfriend called clare... OOH i remember.. well you know.. my game, my sport and my best friend are my life now. i'm going to marry my best friend, shack up and make babies.'

Yes I think so in the short term - it's definitely not the ideal way to have a relationship. They can be very upsetting and if there's no end in sight (i.e. one person moving to the other eventually) I don't see how they could work.

I have had two, they both failed.

you end up building the significant other up into some ideal which they are not. and when you reunite the cracks emerge.

or you cheat on them because you meet someone who reminds you of them and makes you miss them.

how far is the distance though?
i did UK-Germany and UK (JAPAN) - USA

I've just started one. It is darn hard, believe me. It is horrible not having him there all the time and I can't get to him that easily. I hope it will work, but it won't be easy. :frown:

Depends...

Personally, I dont mind traipsing up and down but there'd have to be a future with a worthwhile person...

well it's going to. it's difficult enough to see my bf when he lives 20 minutes away because he is a homo and hates having to pay for the bus..

living a whole hour away.. i'll be lucky to see him like.. ever.. y'know.. with all his gaming/best friend 'commitments'.

i hope he has fun shagging all the big boobed whores in short skirts.. or his best friend for that matter.

Nope, one of them will always find someone better and dump the other.

I'm in one at the moment and found it hard, the thing that kept me going is knowing that my boyfriend is moving to be with me.

see, i would use that as something to help, but i always have the constant thought that his 'best friend' will get a flat first and they will move in.. then my bf can't be rude and move out after like a month, so he will be there forever.

Some people are sounding bitter...I think they can definitely work, I'm in a successful one right now :biggrin:

Guaranteed as long as both people are willing to make it work, committed etc and enough communication is essential
