Love from a distance?

Lots of mature couple they are apart from each other, either for work or travelling, etc. But even though they love each other, they still have that distance. I think it depends on how strong the relationship is between the couple. But its hard to think they might be lying to you or doing something else because you can't really see what they are doing. But I would still be faithful in them and support all the way, until I found something strange about them then we can talk about it and stuff.

So would you think a relationship can last from a distance? How would you deal with it?

70% of long distance relationship does not work out. Matter of fact, the other 30% that works is because of fate, because of healthy communication which is essential and also the faith that the both have in each other. I believe that in any problems or any things that happen between a couple, faith should not be lost...As once lost, it can never be recovered

The thing about long distance relationships is the things that can go on without the other side knowing.

You have to have A LOT of trust in each other in order for it to work. If you really really love each other, it will work out.

But with no communication, the whole thing is bound to go down the drain. So if u have a long distance relationship, please talk as much as possible, keeps it alive a lot better.

I think it's more likely that 10% or lesser of all long distance relationship lasts. The love in a long distance relationship will remain the same from where it was left but it is not always enough to make the relationship last because there's many factors that make it in that way.
People changes more or less all the time, especially when you are with different kind of people. Your feelings can be changed with the other people so it's not so uncommon that a person who is having a relationship find another partner.
Also thoughts can be cheating your mind, in long distance relationship they might keep thinking why the person left him/her and wonder if work is more important than him/her.
It's same with all kind of relationship...with cousins, friends or lovers. Only people who are very close to each other will remain the same.

I have deal with this with my cousin...and we both are like best friends when we hang out, but after like 2 year not seen each other we are like strangers for a while. During that 2 years you slowly can't talk about everything on the phone like you can when you meet the person.. -_-
..What I do is..to do nothing

If the time and distance changes the relationship there will be nothing to do with it...you can always try to get the relationship back again as friends but as lovers it's pretty hard...

I am in a long distance relationship at the moment. I guess it's really difficult to maintain if there is no trust and understanding between the two parties. At times, it would be very difficult due to the problems of loneliness and time differences. (in my case, my gf is in UK and i am in Malaysia) It will work though if both parties are committed in maintaining the relationship but a lot of efforts will be needed.

I've had a long distance relationship. It lasted about a year before the trust issues got out of hand.

"Oh, so you're going out with some guy... ok have fun. It's good to have more friends"
"Oh, so now you're talking on the phone with him for 3 hours in the middle of the night. I guess you guys must be best friends."
"Oh, you're considering dating him now."

Well, that was the last phone call. I only know one couple who's working out long distance, but they visit each other a heck of a lot for long periods of time so I don't know if it really counts. Other than that, I don't personally know any long distance relationships that worked out.

Hmmm... I've never had a Long Distance Relationship before 2 of my friends are going through one right now and its going pretty good. But the again, she's totally obsessed with him and he calls her like everyday and talk for hours. Not only that, but the guy's parents hate her too...

I think far distance relationship will not work. That's propbably because you might not know what they are doing. Also, they might had met a new person. You would'nt know what they will be doing. If they told you that they need to go somewhere for like 2 or 3 years, never let them go. They might not come back.
