I've been in one for the past five years ,they definitely can be very challenging but for me they have created a lot of opportunity to travel and time to focus on myself and career . It personally works out in a very unexpected way ,but I think it is because of our unique circumstances too. Eventually I would like to close the gap but rn idc much when that will be. They are my best friend regardless of distance and time.

I've known a few people who've moved to another continent to marry someone they 'met' on-line. So I guess it's possible that it can work, but I feel I would need to be with and get to know someone very well in real life before I made that sort of commitment.

I’ve been in 2 very serious ones
Mine didn’t work out and I don’t think I’d do another one (although I said that after the first one too)
It’s certainly a difficulty and a very large one at that but it doesn’t invalidate the relationship
They are as real as everyone involved wants to treat it but comes with a unique challenge to it

No. I get annoyed and frustrated when sometimes close to a week passes by without seeing my bf due to work or commitments. I feel it impacts the relationship. So how about long distance altogether. Would not help with bonding and maintaining a close relationship

Those relationships exist, they are real. Not my thing, i tried a few times it was tough. One was great but we were at the same university. She was far away for some parts of the year. We did visit each other even still.

Yes
Because I have so many friends lives overseas, but we are attached with each bottom heartedly, @sahi81 according to my thoughts and experience distance doesn't matter in relationship, we can see so many time, those are lives around us they are not caring us

I don't believe I could have one. Doesn't fit to my love language

It didn't work for me in the long run. We were separated distance wise by a little over 1800 miles, and didn't see each other enough to make it work out properly.

I was in a supposed LTR until I saw it for what it really was. I was being strung along and the person had no intention of meeting up in person! It was a very very painful experience (almost lost my mind), but I'm glad I came to my senses

Yes i believe in them but long term it is very rare they work out ok.

If its short term then fine, if you are talking years and years waiting for someone than no. It's not healthy.

Every relationship has challenges. Having a long distance relationship introduces a very large challenge.

It is not insurmountable, but it's a challenge on top of all the other challenges you may have.

They take a lot more work. You have to make sure he' or she is worth it. A reason to travel is pretty cool though.

Funny story my parents up until I left were in some kind of long distance marriage idek how that worked but it did so I guess I do believe in it

Yes, I believe that they exist.

No, I do not believe that they are a good idea for your S/O.

Anything's possible. In this situation, trust is everything.

They're not for me. I think if it ever happened it'd happen very organically not something I'd actively seek out

I believe that they exist, but I don’t believe that they are for me

I have more faith in a long distance relationship over one here in the US

They are a challenge to maintain but they can work... Having said that, it's an exception when they do for any length of time

Eventually they have to turn into short distance relationships, but I wouldn't mind the wait for true love

I do but they’re very very difficult

It would be very challenging if it'll happen to me.

Yes, but it is not easy.

They aren't ideal but they are an ok substitute.

They're only good if you also have a regular relationship going at the same time

Not if they remain that way.

Yes

Never seen one last

No

No

Yes
