...Has anyone had one/in one?
Mine is experiencing some difficulties. I'm looking for hope through success stories.

I've been through 5, they never work in the end. You'll just end up heart-broken and disappointed. Love is a disease created by Satan.

i've HAD one and i'm IN one.
they have positives and negatives. i'm lucky in some ways cos for me getting on a plane is NOT a problem.
my ex BF was stationed in Germany and i was in the US, and the relationship went really well for the time it lasted. he wanted to get married and i didn't, HOWEVER we are now really good friends and he's now in TEXAS and engaged to a really great girl!
all i can say is take it day by day and just remember how much you love each other. ALSO communication is KEY in a long distance relationship. thats the primary thing that must always remain in good order or doubts...etc..start to occur.
good luck to you!

I dont think they work unless the two (or more, depending on your beliefs =p)people are already in love once the long distance part of the relationship begins. I don't see how you would REALLY get to know a person from hundreds/thousands of miles away, unless you saw each other very very often.

i kinda agree with you, however the relationship i am right now in didn't start out that way.
i 'fell in love' from afar, and it wasn't something i thought would ever happen. we've had our bumps along the road, but love is a powerful force that can't be denied.
the more i see him the BETTER. we aim for at LEAST once a month, 3-4 days.

I started dating someone the summer before my freshman year at college (which is six hours away from my home). We eventaully broke up around winter break :-/....buuut, we did get back together when I came back home, and we're ok now.
If you love each other, then the distance shouldn't matter. Like LeCoeur said, communcation is the key.

I'm in a LD-relationship too at the moment. We try to visit each other about twice every month (for two days or so). Sometimes I think it's hard to keep it up. I mean, I do love her very much but still....
I'm glad it works so well for you, Lecoeur.And once again your advice is priceless :D

thanks for the kind words eXXailon!
and keep working at it. it does take more effort and work than a normal relationship. but if you love the person the work will be easy......and something you look forward to.
remember the person you're with is worth the effort. i find the things i work hardest for are the things matter the most to me in the end.
so it's HAPPY work!

me and lecoeur use each other like a little relationship support group... well wait. she mainly helps me :D but yeah, the thing you have to realise is that no matter what you're going to get into incredibly stupid fights, but thats because you're frustrated because of the distance.
i'm incredibly inlove with my girl, she lives 2000 miles away from me, and neither of us have much money. i saw her about 2 weeks ago on layover, and she might visit in october. and we know that thats all we're gonna get, so we're definatlely going to make the best out of it.
she's actually going to move out here next summer, so yes, my brother. long distance relationships CAN work. it's really got to mean something though...
and to lecoeur: BFF! hehehehehe i'm guessing you're downloading music, other wise you'd be on aim, yeah? so have fun with that.

I spent about a year in a long distance relationship, never seeing my boyfriend once in the meantime. It was hard sometimes, or most times, but we talked so much about everything - like an interactive journal, almost. Everything worked out okay, and we live nearby now, and see each other everyday. So yes, I think they can work, if you love each other enough.
