If so could it work for almost 3 years maybe more?
yes we did that for several years then moved and moved in together and got married.
we are older, established and had the flexibility and means. Being apart creates both opportunity for personal time/space and creates challenges as well... like communications, trust, scheduling, $, commitment. Much easier being together where two can support each other, not to mention you are wasting resources on two residences. I think it's unnatural, but maybe you can make it work... all depends upon you two.

It definitely depends on how serious both people in the relationship are. There has to be trust and overall even more, genuine reasons to trust each other: What are their morals? Are they faithful people and bounded by the duties of the relationship? Do they really want the relationship to work?
If both people in the relationship want the relationship to work, it will no matter what. There can be no imbalance on what’s important and what’s not important. For, one huge disagreement can lead to doubt even if there is no reason for it
It could work if you love them but if the long-distance relationship does not become a short-distance one eventually or if the couple has not discussed when it is possible for the relationship to become short distance then what's the point being is that sort of relationship. A long-term relationship could work for a couple of years but the couple needs to be motivated by a deadline of the end of that long-term relationship.
Not unless you're married and have a plan.
In all other situations, I highly doubt it.

No. Especially over 3 years? Or maybe more? Someone better move closer to the other! Or it’s not gonna work out! That’s a painfully long time! I gotta see, smell, feel and taste my boo! 😭
They’re very, very, difficult. It’ll tax your emotions, trust, patience, wallet.
But some people are worth it.My friends relationship was long distance for the first six or seven years until he moved in with her and they are still going strong after almost ten year's of living under the same roof.
Too weird for me. I like to see who I’m with, we don’t have to see each other every single day but not once a month. I don’t see how that could work but then again it’s worked out fine for some people.
When my brother was a regular on GAG, he got talking to a girl GAGer. They never met, but spent 4 years in an LDR. Sadly, it failed. He is still devastated after 3 years being on his own.
Only if you both
1. meet up regularly
2. end goal where one of you moves to live near the other person
Making kissy faces via text for years on end isn't a real relationship
3 years feels like the upper limit. My wife and I were 2 years long distance and even with frequent visits it was TOUGH.
Very difficult. I suspect it's better to say you'll both keep in touch but live your lives. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
Yes it can. I was in one for about 3-4 years. I find it's better when there is a goal to live closer.
Sure; why not? As long as you love each other and spend a lot of time together (even if it's virtually.). Though you will have to see each other in person at least twice a year.
Sure... it's hard, but it can totally work.
Nah 3 years is too long. LDR only work temporarily I'd say between 6 months to one year maximum.
no long distance relationship doesn’t work i met a guy on chat room he never show his pictures himself he really a jerk
How well they can work depends entirely on the strength that character and commitment of the two parties involved.
Yes if you have trust hell no of you don't have truth or you have a trust issue.
Sometimes, it depends on the individuals involved and their respect and love for each other.
For a while, after that they slowly phase out in my opinion.
Mine only lasted a month
No, don't put yourself in a misery like that
I made one work four years
