I just realized this was asked to the gals after i posted... sorry They work. Just requires a lot of focus and personal growth. Its an interesting emotional experiment to say the least.

This could be in the 'Relationship Advice' section, although you're likely to get some guys posting here anyway. I think such a relationship can bring its own set of difficulties on top of the crap 'regular' couples go through. I think it takes real strength of character to have a successful long distance relationship but there are examples the world over of people doing it. Love conquers all, as the say. I'd be willing to do it for the right person. On the plus side, I bet what little time they do get to spend together is incredible.

If you have the will and desire to make long distance relationship/friendship work, then of course it can. One of my dearest and closest friends emigrated to Australia 9 years ago, and I have only seen her twice in that time. She remains, however, my confidante, best friend and almost a Sister to me.
As for long distance love affairs, well I guess that's another matter altogether. Luckily I've never been in that situation - but don't they say 'where there's a will, there's a way!'

Distance is all relative as to the the intensity of the relationship - all things transcend distance.

Microphones and webcams if you got them are great little things to help it work. As crazydiamond said if you want it to work it will. I am in one right now

I think a long distance relationship could definitely work... There is so much more to love than just sex, and it kind of forces you to have a deeper emotional connection, and plus when you do finally get to be with that person, I can imagine it would be worth the wait. Of course distance probably can suck at times, but I think it could be completely amazing too. I probably would have a long distance relationship if I needed to, but then again, I would probably just go to where the person I love is, because I don't really have anything holding me back, except family, which I can visit and talk to on skype and on the phone.

They can work with the right person. I have seen many fail from people not being able to deal with the separation or being unfaithful because they think they can now. But mine has worked. I love my marine with all my heart. It is hard to be away from him and every day I wish I could be with him. But it strengthens our relationship and the distance will never make me love him any less. I havent been with him since december and now I will be waiting a full year before I can see him again but it is all worth it

Yes, they can work, so long as the relationship is built with trust. There will be a lot of longing nights so self discipline is a must.

I'd resorted to using these damned clumsy things the last few days.

I thrive in long distance relationships. Anything else is just scary but I'm willing to face my fears. I've spent most of my adult life in relationships where my partner could not be expected to be home day in and day out 365. Sure it takes a lot of work. A relationship easily fails if not nurtured, even more so if it's long distance. It comes with it's own set of issues. But I feel, for the right person, it's well worth the wait and often beneficial.
