Do you believed in a long distance love affair?

That's probably mostly true, but are there 2 sides to that story?  For example, on this site there are a lot of men who don't understand how the internet works and who obviously have no experience with talking to people online.  In their minds, a PM can be seen as dating.  Some of them are from countries where just saying hello to a woman is a marriage proposal.

There was a time when I was getting PMs every day from people asking me how long I've been in Dubai or Qatar or some other Arab place - despite the very obvious fact that I'm in Hong Kong.  How many of them in their weakened condition thought I deceived them when they learned I'm nowhere close to any of those places?

That's very correct! Long distance relationship doesn't make sense at all even married couples are struggling with it. It has less than 10 percent success rate from my research which included married couples.

I'd like to see this research.

uuuuuhhhhhhhmmmmm,, your reseeeeeeeaaarch, OK let me ask you:
How many samples did you include?
what are the distances apart?
what is the weather in each country?
What kind of relation do they have (marriage, partenership,GF-BF,..)?
Do they have kids or not and how many?
What are the reasons for the long distance relation?
,................................................etc.

Dude, come on, be reasonable such an opinion cannot be decided on research basis. I can carry on a similar research and I can guarantee to get an opposite result than yours.

success/failure of each long distance relation is a complete separate experince.

It will never work unless they see each other in person frequently one of my friends told me he broke up with his GF he simply could't take being away from her too long it's only human we're social by nature u just can't stare at your GF on a screen for hours and call that a relationship.

its really depends on a relationhip, for beginner I think this will not work, for BF,GF it will not work too but for husband and wife this will work, now the question was for how long? just asking......

it could work for some but for me, i dont believe in it.

You're going to have to start believing it, because short distance relationships where you are located now are more impossible!

That is another tory, short distance but hindered due to the
law of saudi quite differen from the ldr we are talking about here.
If both of you are here only few minutes drive ,there is always a way.

i personally think it has nothing to do with distance. when you love someone, you trust and are willing to do anything for that love to survive.as long as one can meet for special occasions, holidays together, meet at common destinations it can work upto some point till a merging can be worked out. the chance to live together for 3 months atleast and then back to work and occassional love meetings. i think distance makes the hearts fonder, like one wise man said lovers should be like two foundation of the same pillar, not too close and not too far away, growing independently and same time nurturing the other.

I absolutely agree with you
Absent makes the heart grow fonder
