Have you ever been in a LDR?

Wondering how many people are in a long distance relationship and what they do to make it work.
-
I don't really believe it works at all.

Depends on how you describe "far".
I was with a guy about 200km away for a year. Didn't work out.
But now I'm trying my luck with a guy whos 500km away. Guys, wish me luck. -
Betty Downer here with a bit of a silver lining.
Long distance relationships just don't work but that's okay because really neither do any other relationships in the end.
Just enjoy what you can while you can.

Was with In a long term distance relationship for 3 yrs, visited a few times, both sort of cooled on it after that. Can be frustrating but made up for it on the visits

I have. With my current boyfriend. Actually it was kinda weird. I met him via facebook and I didn't expect to fall for him in any way. I didn't even know his face until several months later. I fell for him after knowing him for 6-7 months, and by that time I've seen his face, but we haven't had met yet because we lived in different part of the country. I stated my feelings for him and we were kinda established in a long distant relationship for much of our relationship period. After three years, he moved to the city where I live and we immediately met and this time, formally got acquainted. We are still in a relationship by now. It's kinda funny for me how it was all started.
Also, we are in a relationship but without either of us proposing to each other. We just… get through it, expressing affection and all. Is that weird? :-X

Although I've been in LDR for years, separated by schools and work and too expensive travel costs. I guess it depends a bit on what you want to get out of it and how you define a relationship. If you need direct sexual contact often then I guess it doesn't work. I'm content with the occasional cam sessions and knowing that feelings can travel any distance. Also I enjoy my personal space a bit too much I think. I won't lie though, I miss the skin-to-skin contact a lot when we're separated for too long. Again, I think it depends greatly on how secure you both are in your feelings and what your personal needs are. In general, I would say No, it doesn't work. But there are exceptions to every rule.
