Yes they do, depending on the relationship. I'm in one right now and I couldn't be happier. The rumours about high infidelity rates are false; if you'd cheat whilst in a long-distance, you'd cheat in a close-distance too. It's all about respect and trust. Theres a lot more emotional input in a long-distance, because your main communication is verbal. It can't be a relationship purely based on sex, because you're not physically together as much as you would be in a close-distance relationship. Me and my boyfriend see each other in intervals of between 3 to 6 weeks, and whilst it can be a little difficult when it's the 6 week stretch and so on, it's well worth it because, basically, we're right for each other. You have to work hard, and you need to have very strong feelings for each other, but I know it can work because it is doing right now.

I don't know for sure, but I REALLY want this side to be true for personal reasons, and i think if you try, its possible.

If the two people in question truely love each other then distance should be no object. And I think they really put the effort in then they can work out.

Okay, listen to me, forget anything everyone else says. They work out. I'm in one now, almost three months. The bad is you can't really see them all the time, The good is the distance and time you send away from each other makes you appreciate them more. It makes every hug every kiss even better. If you really like them it will work out.

The good thing about these relationships is that those who have agreed to remain monogamous while away are true friends. Those who say they will and don't are cheats.

 only the one accused of cheating really knows if they did it.
at the end of the day people just do whatever was really in their HEART ALL ALONG. Finito.

To be frank with you my dear friend I believe they do indeed work...if you truly care and have a mutual love for each other that is. I've been down that road before and it was a wonderful experience that lasted years. If you have faith and believe in yourself and your partner things work out..when this relationships don't work it's probably because it was a case of infatuation and nothing more...it's always best to stay positive and see the best in things not be so d***negative...negative people suck!!!!

As long as there is love, there is no fear and as long as there is no fear, there are no boundaries. As for the goods and bads, I'd say they have the same ups and downs as any other relationship.
Yea' they work out, it just takes two.

You hardly see them and its painful especially if you are young. I know. It hurts. I never even got to be in his arms. Now we haven't spoken in months :(
Also, when you see people being intimate it hurts.

 And that means it can't work? Because it's hard? Never heard the saying that nothing worthwhile comes easily?

I think it's kind of half and half. My friend has had long distance relationships, and they failed miserably. On the other hand, my parents only saw each other once a month when they were dating and they've been married 24 years without a single fight (that I know of). I guess it dwindles down to if it's really love or not (because now that I think about it, my friend didn't really LIKE those people, and they only talked over the Internet. Actually, a lot of people's relationships over the Internet fail. So some advice: Don't get relationships over the Internet).

They can, but it's hard. Eventually it has to become not a long distance relationship to have much hope.

I don't think long distance relationships work out because the connection with the person you were with is lost...people want someone that will always be there and that they can trust because they see them I'm sure there are plenty of long distance relationships that have worked out but i don't see how...

 You hit the nail on the head... trust. Relationships are about trust, communication... not just cuddles and sex. Yes it's hard, but it's still possible. You can have a relationship with someone without being with them all the time.

The CAN work out, however, the vast majority of the time they do not.

Most people who have been to college can tell you stories about the many Freshmen they knew who had serious boyfriends/girlfriends back home. They stay loyal half a semester, go home midterm having second thoughts, and then free themselves for the rest of college. They literally drop like flies despite the best intentions to start with.

I'm gonna have to disagree due
to the fact that they do not
work out unless you both put a hell of a lot effort into
it reasons are that you'd never get to see that person then conflicts and trust issues will
occur the you'll begin to wonder is it worth it and then be temped w/ other males/females while your significant other is way out of reach
so i have to disagree

It takes an extreme amount of work to keep long distance relationship going. There are usually way too many things to do and way too many friends to contend with to keep it going. If they are not near, you do not see them as much and do not know what is physically going on around them, so there is less to talk about and less feeling between the two. Eventually, there is nothing but was.
