In October of 1974 I met a girl in Texas who I dated/hung out with for a week. Left and went overseas keeping in touch by letters and a very occasional phone call. Occasional as calls were $3.00 a minute when the ship I was on happened to be in port. When I returned to the states in August of 1975 I married her and next month we will celebrate 33 years together. Takes some serious commitment and communication to succeed but it can be done.
I rarely have ever heard that they work, you have to know one another very well, and have to have complete faith in one another. It doesn't just happen, it takes a lot of work, even living together, there is constant work in communication and devotion to one another. It's a common thing in Alaska for marriages and relationships to end because so many men work up on the slope and they are away for so long, anywhere from 2 weeks on , and 2 weeks off. Others work 1 month, and get 1 or 2 weeks off. Seldom do they ever work out. Hope this helps.
Personally i don't think long distance relationships work. I have yet to see any work out but have heard the one in a million story of it working out. I think its best to set clear expectations and realistic goals for a relationship to have any chance at all distance or not. Communication is key. Good luck hopefully your the one in a million.
I think it depends in you and him are you and him really loves each other , i think the distance will make your love hot , but if not so it will be the excuse for the cheating... Be sure about him and your self first
