Do you believe long distance relationships actually work

Question

Answer

My fiancé and I were long distance for 4yrs. The distance between us varied due to where we found work between university semesters. The closest we ever were was 6hrs driving and the furthest was a week long drive/10+hrs by plane. Now he's recently moved to where I'm living and we're getting married. We made it work because we loved each other. Being apart was brutal on the both of us- we dated about a year before I moved away and were broken up for 6 months after the move until he realized that he didn't want to be apart from me like that. So we got back together and have been together and happy ever since. It's all about good communication and the fact that we wanted and were willing and committed to making it work. 
And no neither one of us ever cheated. The idea of cheating on him makes me physically ill. I could never even attempt to cheat. And I know he feels the same way. Cheating isn't an option when you truly love someone. You'd just never betray the person you love like that. Sex isn't the most important thing in a relationship either. Yeah long distance sucks, but you can still connect emotionally and be there for each other. And we're certainly not the type to do an open relationship.

Answer

Me & my bf were long distance for nearly 4 years until I moved to his country. It can be hard at times but as long as you both trust each other and are planning on moving closer in future you'll be fine ☺

Answer

My husband and I were long distance for 3 years before I moved to Canada to be with him. If both parties are determined to make it work and they put in the time and effort, it will.

Answer

I'm in a long distance relationship at the moment, 3 months so far with 4 more to go. she's in nyc for an internship while I will go back to college. the question is not of cheating or being open, for us; I want her to feel free. she told me "yes, life happens. but I want life to happen with you." if she "cheated" (something I don't believe exists) it does not necessarily mean she does not still love me. we're only human. I feel lucky to be with her in whatever capacity she accepts me, and she feels the same.

Answer

I don't think one party always cheats. I just don't think they work - at least not 99% of the time. I know personally I need to have my partner there and be able to see them frequently. I don't like to feel like I'm dating my phone, or a voice on the other end of the line.

Answer

Depends.

Answer

I think it just depends on the relationship and the connection they have. I've known some people who had a long distance relationship and stayed together neither of them cheated and they weren't in an open relationship. But when I was in one we ended up breaking up 4 weeks later

Answer

I've known him since elementary school, was bffs with his sister, then in high school we had a "talking" thing, were friends with benefits off and on for the past two years and then he moved a few hours away and we recently saw each other and he confessed his feelings for me and now we're trying long distance 
Gonna see him in a few weeks though 💕💕💕

Answer

I don't actually believe that one party always cheats, but it was the best option. I don't feel it always works, it's extremely difficult and can be very unfulfilling... I'm not a fan but I'm sure it works well for some people
