Can long distance relationships work??

It seems like the odds are against it but I’d like to hear your experiences.. good, bad and ugly! 😍😥😱

Do you mean ones where the couple do at least get to meet occasionally? If so, and if getting together permanently or on a more frequent basis is a realistic prospect, then I’d say yes they can work.

@Helpinghands Yes I mean irl.. for example if a couple is dating for awhile and one accepts a job far away.. they are exclusive but not necessarily ready for marriage. Should they date long distance for awhile, try moving together or break up?
@summergirl4fun only they can decide the right choice for them out of those options. If they’re right for each other the relationship can survive a period of separation. Is it you in the situation?

@Helpinghands Yes and after dating long distance for a few months we decided to break up. I guess I struggle with that decision bc we do still care about each other
@summergirl4fun sorry to hear that. Do you think there’s hope for reconciliation? Why did you decide to break up?

@Helpinghands Mainly bc both of our jobs require us to be where we are.. he has offered to move but I don’t want him to end up resentful or me to feel responsible if he’s unhappy.. idk it’s just confusing 😐
@summergirl4fun it does sound quite a dilemma, poor you. How long were you together?

@summergirl4fun you sound very considerate of his feelings. Good luck for the future.

@summergirl4fun Personally,if I had any chance of moving to be with my partner,I'd have made the move,taking on a different job,if need be.
But life isn't always so black n white is it

Nothing is ever black or white really imo..he was willing to move but something just didn’t feel right to me. Hopefully I made the right decision @SW-User
