Would a relationship work if a person and another person lived far apart like overseas or far away from each other?

Answer #1

It can, it all depends on how dedicated and close the couple is. Alot of issues come up during long distance relationships and the takes tons of work and trust, alot of couples cant handle it and break up eventually, but there have been those we make it.

Answer #2

it depends on the people and how they feel about not seeing each other. For me personally I dont think it would work, I hate not seeing my boyfriend. The longest I have spent away from him is two months and I hated every minute of it. On the otherhand, I know people who are perfectly happy to be in a relationship where they dont often see each other in person

Answer #3

This really just depends on the love these two people have for each oher. :)

Answer #4

it really depends on, if you have seen them befor and how much you care and tust the person. Most of the time it really dus not work out though

Answer #5

I tried having an online bf. I meet him through a friend and yeah we ended up liking each other but it didn’t work out. He lived about 4 states away from me. The biggest issue with long distance relationships is trust. That’s already an issue in any relationship,close or not. But being even farther away,seems to make the trust even harder. Plus,to me honest i’m an affectionate person. I like to kiss and hug and cuddle so when you love someone or have feelings for a person you never get to be with in person,it causes a lot of emotional heart ache. And to given the fact,dating someone you have never seen/hung out with in person,you don’t really know who they are. My ex friend Tanya for example. I knew her like 3 years,we hung out a few times (she lives about 4 hours from me) and so i went to go see her. Kay this may sound stupid but i’m a clean freak. I can’t handle dirt and roaches and being in a unclean place. I never relized how digusting Tanya was until i went to her house. They NEVER cleaned. They had roaches in their fridge!!!! And yeah,it was just gross. I don’t have much time to write out the details,but it was the most sickest place i had ever been in my life. I have never been somewhere,that was so unclean i actual cried. -My point is,to me it’s hard,emotional and dangerous be in a relationship with someone you don’t know in person. Not to ad it’s easier to lie to someone who can’t see you in person or hang out. But the choice is yours for whatever reason you are asking this question. I hope the best :) Good luck

Answer #7

It really depends on how easy it will be for them to see eachother regularly. Like if it was a job that offers flights back often as part of the scheme - like travel journalism because you dont see eachother for weeks at a time but you can always garantee a soon return. But I agree with Danielle, it all comes down to the people, if your really in love. And if you think its worth it when you do finally see eachother than it can work. Also of course if you think you can both stay faithful…. it may be harder than you think. But for that you just have to see and hope for the best :)

Answer #9

Its definitely possible, but not easy. I have had them before and am currently dating a girl I met through a friend online. It depends on the people. For me being dedicated to her is easy. She knows she can trust me to stay committed so no worries. Even without seeing her for long periods at a time both of us know the other person will not cheat.

In my experience talking with people that is the biggest issue, they worry that the person will cheat because since they are far away its easy to hide.

If both people love each other, or at least are fully committed to each other it can work aslong as they know it wont be as easy. Both people are going to miss the other person alot which is hard but when you are back together its incredible and completely worth it. Just get a long distance phone plan, a webcam, or skype so you can talk alot and its not a big deal

Answer #10

my best friend dates a guy in the marines, and he’s currently deployed, they get to email, and talk to each other on the phone whenever possible. she say’s it’s really hard, but they love each other, and they know that they can work through it. so basically if you both are committed and trust each other, then yes it can, but it’s a lot of work, that you both have to be ready to put in.

Answer #11

yes it can work. it does work. but only if the two people love eachotehr enough to make it work. its going to be hard as hell! and there are going to be days when your just going to want to give up. missing someone is part of loving them, if you’re never apart then you will never know how strong your love really is ♥

Answer #12

me and my girl live 700 miles apart… yet we have never cheated we have not even so much as thought of another person… its not hard at all to be far away from someone you love as long as you truly lvoe them and want to be together

Answer #13

It really does depend on the people. If you have faith and hope, and if neither of you slips, the relationship will work. And the time away from each other, gives you time to explore your individuality…and time to really get close to each other, cus the next time you see them or for the first time…there will be so many things to talk about, and so many things to do….so I believe it could work, if the couple remains loyal and faithful to each other.
