I Believe Long Distance Relationship Can Work

That's true. After a while the long distance becomes unbearable.

I have to throw cold water on this idea..
LDR's "can" work.. for what they are and what they serve, and also as a prelude to more.
I was in a Long Distance Relationship for 2 years that grew and flourished into me waiting for her to retire and move in with me.
She lived 600 miles away and I could only afford to drive there once a month to stay with her for 3 or 4 day weekends.. We had only chatted on EP and later, here on SW before we decided to meet face-to-face for a motel weekend date. Sparks flew and I decided that she was worth the wait until she could shed her job (24/7 live-in caregiver). She was already taking every other weekend off to relax and rejuvenate. I helped her to relax better than being by herself (ha ha)...
She visited my home ONCE for a ThanksGiving holiday and got convinced that I was not a serial killer or something laying a trap for yer (ha ha).. She began making plans to retire and moved in with me the beginning of that year...

We're a living testament to the fact that LDR's "can" work out. I've been worshiping her while I live with her for over 2 yrs now, and our devotion is still growing..

Sure it can ... kindle that intensity... and desire alone will drive you together again.

Not for all people though

It works, if a plan is set in place to close the distance in the (preferably) near future. My experience with it is a success, for example. LDR for about two years, now we live together; he's from England and I'm in Australia. I don't think LDR's are for everyone, and sometimes I'm still surprised it's worked out for me, but it has so I can say it's rare but it happens.

LDR can and do work. Even ones that have been a long time...it's all in the mindset of the two people involved...yes, at some point, one party will have to relocate.

I guess that explains all your cheating on me 😒. 🤪

If It's been to long .... it's not gonna happen

Been there done that, it was good while it lasted but we had our own plans career wise and werent willing to hold each other back for it so we broke up.

Long distance relationships have never worked for me. I need the physical presence of that person with me, and physical contact is vital.

ldr worked for me. you need to be a dedicated person.
