My boy friend and I met while I was still dating my ex. Anyways we kept talking and we fell in love. I mean like he is already talking about marriage and kids and the whole 9 yards (which doesn't really bother me because I would take that step with him). The only problem is he live 2 hours away from me! We see each other as soon as we can, but I know it will never be like having a boyfriend who lives close. The distant doesn't seem to bother either of us but his friends say that long distant relationships don't last! We are committed to each other and he is not the type that would cheat and me (I hope!!).Do you think we will last!?!?
It takes a strong relationship on both sides. I was in a very long distance relationship and it did not work out. I am in Michigan and she was in Texas. I asked her to move with me...she stayed...and the story goes on. I believe if love is strong enough it will work.
Thank you for picking my answer as the best. I hope the best for the both of you. Keep the communication going and you will know when it is time to make any kind of decisions. - 10 months ago

You are very much welcome! I picked you because I strongly believe that things can and will work out if the love is strong enough... Thank you for your answer! - 10 months ago
2 hours isn't that far, but if you aren't making any plans to move closer soon, I doubt it will last. In my experience, they fail miserably. Then again, it probably would have failed sooner had she lived close by.
I know exactly how you feel. My boyfriend says the same things to me and I would happily marry him and have kids with him, but the distance is a problem. He lives in IL and I live in AR, so yea we live very far apart. I love him and he loves me and we want this to work, so we're going to tough it out and make it work some how. I believe with all my heart that our relationship will persevere because that's just how much we love each other. I trust that he will not go to someone else just because I'm not there. He doesn't have to worry about me doing that, because I love him too much to ever stop loving him and go to someone else.
They can work but only if at a stage you come together in the one place and its no longer a long distance relationship because you can't be in a long distance relationship forever because chances are you'll meet someone new!
As long as you both stay honest with each other and keep the communication lines open and the trust is there....then you have the makings of a relationship that will last! - 10 months ago

While messaging a good friend on here regarding relationships, I recalled a memory of being a lonely book worm whom no one wanted to date in High School. Come to find out after graduation that...
The tokens of love that woman crave include flowers, chocolate and framed pictures of the two of you walking on the beach (or some similar romantic, albeit ridiculous, pose). "Aww, you remembered!"...
