What is a good way that your long distance relationship can work?

Answer 1

Move closer.

Barring that, create a regular schedule for chatting so you don't feel more distant than you already have to.

Use webcams to see each other over the internet. Send each other packages, it's a nice surprise once in a while.

They are tough, you have to hang in there until you can be closer together. And if it doesn't work out, well, that's not uncommon. Answer If you really love each other you hang on until you can be together again.

Answer 2

well i have been in one for 14 months now.

first you both need to understand the basics A)it is strictly emotional because there is no physical side so you need a strong emotional base B)distance always makes it harder when i had surgery...all i wanted was my logan comforting me but i knew its not reality C)understand the importance of freedom trust is crucial but understand they probably will cheat its the way things are. you get se.ually or physically frustrated and deprived. one moment of teenage hormonal weakness can easily happen. D) feeding off c is boundaries im NOT saying give permisson but give a limit like if he kissed another girl but stoped before making out. just let them know what you couldnt forgive and understand the importance of honesty and communication. E) then theres forgiveness they will mess up but you need to be honnest if you can or cant forgive. and finally F) schedules while this may sound silly......every couple has little habits (meeting at a certain spot, when they talk, what they do, etc) but in a distance relationship you rarely see them so imagination can run wild.get a set time when you always call/skype/text eachother just to check in tell eachother if you might miss a day because one missed phone call can get someone really worried. they have no way of knowing if you are okay so imagination, or jealousy, can come in.

my boyfriend and i have a strong loving relationship but it isnt perfect. we both have cheated. we both fool around sometimes but we tell eachother before hand (like if a guy asks me to the movies) but we have limits. we are saving our first time, our first circus trip, vaction, and a ton of random things for eachother just because it helps us get through tough times. i picture us in the future or our memories we already shared. we only see eachother 1-3 times a year for now but i know what we have planned for us. we learned to appreciate the smallest things that many couples take for granite, every touch is special, every convo is special and i have never trusted anyone or loved anyone before him. he has tought me things about myself i didnt know. honestly, when i have a stress attack hes the only one that can make me laugh. i keep a picture of him on my night stand because i can always feel him with me, and hes is always there for the ups and downs without judgement, sometimes we call each other and end up not saying anything, he just listens to me type and i listen to his music, but it is somehow more comforting then anything.

because of the simple rules i have a best friend and a boyfriend. no relationship is perfect so just realize you guys will mess up. love is never easy and it streches through (in this case hundreds) miles of barriers

and as for knowing if its working, if you cant accept the simple facts, it probably will not work, and most of all if you dont think the future is worth it (like investing all your time now to have an amazing relationship later) then maybe...it isnt. honestly you didnt have to read my story, i think you knew the answer all along and just want confermation. but i wish you good luck.
