Some long distance relationship do survive, some don't. Why? It depends on the couple. If they have a commitment to remain faithful,loyal and true even if they are far from each other then it's gonna work if not it would really fail. Some people just have to be strong, but eventually it would be nice to be with the person you love, cuddling, kissing and just being next to her feels right. Why am I saying these things? My girlfriend and I were once into LDR but then we decided to move our worlds together because we thought it would make our relationship stronger. We sacrificed a lot and left a lot behind just to be together and until now we couldn't be happier. No regrets!
