Do long-distance relationships work?

My boyfriend and I recently met and he lives like 80 miles from me. He works and I work so right now we only can see each other on Friday evenings when we both get off work. He stays the night some but he has to leave early Saturday because he works Saturday evening. My question is do you really think long distant relationships can work, and if so, how? Thks for any advice.

No.

Not only because of the distance, but because you just "recently met." If you had known him for some time, then maybe. Otherwise, it's not worth the effort.

Well, mine did. We met when I was 14 and he was 16, and knew each other for 3 months before he moved 90 miles away. We were separated for 1 1/2 years and neither one of us had a car, so we saw each other once every 3 months or so. he moved back to my town for 2 months, then left again for another year. When my husband finally graduated, he moved back to my town to go to college and be with me. When I graduated 2 years later, we moved in together for a year and then tied the knot. We have been happily married for 1 1/2 years now and I can honestly tell you that I do believe in long distance relationships. You just have to communicate, and the fact that you two get to see each other raises your odds in my opinion. If it's meant to be, it will work out!

Thanks for the advice. We talk everyday or we text constantly. We have been together 2 months now and we have talked everyday. More advice is always helpful.

I don't think so!!!sorry but thats the only truth!!!

It has to work since you are just enjoying it. The question is that how long it will work. I think if you cannot get closer to each other it will end quite soon.
