Honest answer? I'm not sure they do, but that's probably bitter personal experiences talking there! In some respects they are brilliant, you can share a lot via mail on or here but in reality there is a lot on wonder involved and you begin to become paranoid. I think I'm just a paranoid kind of person, a bit cynical.

Long distance don't work imo
Exactly! That's why my girlfriend lives a 20 minutes away from me :)
20 minutes? that's on the edge homie, but you are keeping it real
no more than 30 minutes IMO , that gives them time for lots of stuff to do

If you mean paranoid about whether or not your partner is cheating on you, that's of course a problem. Fortunately an obstacle which me and my partner got by long ago, based on trust and lots of honesty.
Im in one, kinda. My boyfriend lives on the other side of the county to me, even thou it isnt as far as some other peoples. But cos we both work, we meet twice a month. Thats once a fortnight. Its hard when we are so much in love, but i think thats what gets you throu it- if you have that strength.
I would say
your lucky to have a relationship
i've never had a bf

I have two friends who were in a relationship, and one of them had to move away. They kept it going for 6 months after that, but just broke it off very recently. I think it can work if you know that at some point you and your partner will for sure be together again, and I don't just mean for a visit, I mean really living near each other. The reason my friends broke up is cause they know they'll have to spend at least another 4 years apart, and that's just too much. But they're still friends, and I think all in all it was a good experience.
Distances do suck though. I met an awesome guy this summer, and we both like each other, but we didn't want to start anything because he's moving away to uni this year. :(

I met my husband in the Queenrocker message board in 2000. We started to email each other and fell madly in love even before we met for the first time "in reality". After 9 months' intense emailing (several letters a day) I flew to meet him and when we saw each other in the airport we knew that we were meant to be together.
I, however, couldn't move to him right away because of various workrelated reasons, so we ended up living in a long distance relationship for approx. 1,5 year - only meeting during summer, christmas and other longer holidays. It could go 4 months between visits. Of course it wasn't nice time, but we phoned and emailed each other every day, which made our relationship even stronger (I bet that there are couples who - even after several years - don't know as much about their partners as I do about my husband after only few years).
Anyway, after 1,5 years long distance relationship, we were finally able to move to the same country and begin our life together for real.
This summer we got married and are a strong, happy couple. I even think that the long distance relationship made us stronger as a couple. To be able to wake up every morning by your love's side is something that feels so wonderful.
So, a short summary. The long distance can be a good thing for the relationship if the both partners are willing to work for it.
