Long distance relationships..

[Fuseless]

I dunno i guess i thought it was sweet coz my girlfriend lives at the moment 417 miles away from me, but i get to see her maybe twice a month at the moment if im lucky, and i think we are quite strong, were both happy and have skype calls almost everyday to stay in touch with each other, ill soon be moving closer to her though as ill be working out there. To be honest i knew the video wouldn't be everyone cup of tea, i think they were just showing to everyone else that they can work, because they are happily living together now. Guess it depends a lot on who you are, whether you become so dependent on that person or if you can wait to see them again.

I just wanted to know everyone's opinions on whether for them personally it would work, or if anyone has been in one in the past and what it was like, as i hadst had very good relationships in the past with girls that lived so close to me.. I just like the fact that when i see her it feels like its been forever and we are always happy, no arguing or anything just happy

awwwwww i just watched the video where they met!!

they're engaged and everything now how sweet! sometimes it can work. In this day and age with so many online dating websites you're more likely to find a compatible 'mate' online. IMO anyway!!

i don't really consider relationships that just stay online to be a long distance relationship, that's what the video seemed to me anyway (until they met yada yada)

for a relationship where one moves away and becomes a long distance relationship, i dunno how i could handle that. it must be so horrible!! especially if one is off to uni, i'd have such trust issues, but that's just me. i don't think for me it would ever work.

welllllllll, i know all about the whole long distance since you've started dating. @pasta; and i waited until we met first to begin dating, but it is so hard. i lived in ireland and he lived in england so you either had to get a boat or flight to get to one another. after he went home the first time i think it was about a month before we met again and that was so stressful for me anyway. you get used to being with them all day then they're gone (same applys to the person moving above) after that though, we met every two or less weeks so we were quite lucky there i suppose!! now we live together you just forget about all the time waiting for eachother and dont really care anymore. if i was to do a long-distance relationship again, i don't think i would. they are horrible, especially when you're alone for so long and you just cant hold the person you are with

I'm in a long distance relationship and my girlfriend lives over two hundred miles away, we had to go further apart because of university. It's really difficult at times, but it definitely works. It's annoying it's so hard to meet up for just a day, and we can't really just spontaneously go somewhere or do something or see each other, then there's all the extra expense and waiting, but we talk to each other all the time, and we stay with each other when we can, and it just feels all that more special. Though I find there's so many more worries with distance. In fact all of our worries are probably the result of distance; other people, seeing each other, jealously, not being able to be there, etc. I find there's more you have to talk about and make clear, but when you have trust and an understanding you can get over them or deal with it. They also say absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I think that is true. I just feel like I'm longing for her all the time, and being away is very painful. But I would never say it's more pain than pleasure, every relationship has it's ups and downs, and every couple will have their own things to work out. If two people truly love each other, there's no reason why distance can't work.

The video is awesome, so glad she took her nose ring out though.
