They can easily fall apart. They're difficult, and sometimes painfully lonely. But when both people in the relationship are honest and true to each other, then they can work. You have to really trust the other person, and you have to really want to be with that person. Long distance relationships are not for "just having some fun". It's got to be real

It is possible to have a long distance relationship, but it is difficult. With being able to trust someone. I'd rather find someone outside of where I live, because I know all these guys to well, and know the games they play. Especially if you grew up with them.

Besides all the partying and going out you should consider the fact how will you be able to communicate with each other. Bare in mind the time difference/studying/working barriers as well as how often you'd be able to see each other.
I've been in a long distance relationship and trust me it wasn't easy at all. We had reached the point of not communicating properly even if we were together after 3-4 months apart. The cherry on top is that he's in a new relationship now, in a new long distance relationship I should add.
Be careful who you'll choose to be with.

The hardest part of being in a long distance relationship is no physical contact. You can talk and skype to your heart's desire. The fantasy play can be very fun. You can have massive amounts of love and trust, but on those cold dark days when your soul is raining, who is there to hold you? Affection is what is missing in a long distance relationship, and when you need it you seek it from a "friend". That is when your heart starts to attach to something else while not letting go of where your loyalty should rightfully be, and that is hell. It is where your needs cannot be met that tears apart long distance relationships. I had a few, and stayed true. By the time we were reunited our fantastical expectations far exceeded reality. (Not to mention the problems caused by his need for a warm body in his bed.)
Still there is one long distance relationship that I wish I had tried to have. Sure it probably would have fizzled and drifted off into history, but I often wonder how much sweeter the memories could have been if I'd tried to hold on longer rather than kissing him goodbye.

When I find myself "in one", I will come back and reply.
Until then, in my opinion, it depends on both parties and what their striving for and how serious they want it? Every relationship, long distance or not, will have issues as far as trust and commitment is concerned.
I wish you luck, AbsAlex!

My long distance relationship lasted 2 years.
We didn't meet each other in person for the first time until 10 months into the relationship.
We moved in together and have been living this way for 4 years.
We are getting married in just under two years time.
If you want it to work, it will.

And no... To anybody who's thinking it, I'm not having some weird bondage collaring ceremony lol. It's a white wedding. Just to clear that up right now
Yes. Trust is indeed the key. If you don't have trust you're fundamentally screwed in terms of long distance.
