Can a relationship last w/ distance?

So me and BD have been talking the past two months. We split up 8 months ago and he started his truck driving job. Hes still in training till he completes his 200+ hours. Its not a local job right now, it's over the road and he won't be able to visit but once a month for the first 6 months or so. My question is can a relationship survive with SO gone all the time? I know time apart is good for a relationship but is too much time apart good? We both want to get back together and i'm hoping the distance and time apart won't tear us apart. I'm trying to stay positive and have hope but it's hard, we've never been thru this before.

If you want it to, yes.

It comes with a whole new set of challenges. If u don't let I tear u apart it won't.

Me and my husband were long distance for almost 2 years without seeing each other. if your both dedicated then yes it will work but it's not easy.

I know of relationships that the only reason it worked is because the guy worked out of town. When he started working in town it failed. If you want it to work it will

It's entirely possible. It can be hard, but if you are both willing to make it work, then I don't see why it wouldn't.

If both of you are willing to put forth the effort and can stay 100% faithful then yes it can work. I is much harder but it for sure can be done.

Yes, look at military families

Can they yes,Do they usually? No. It takes a lot of work, and special kinds of people to be able to make it work. And to be honest if you had issues before it's not likely to be helped by a LDR.

Just depends. My husband who at the time was my boyfriend went out of state for college. It was 9 months long and we stayed together. My father in law is a truck driver and is only home on the wknds. My mother in law loves it. When he is home more than just the wknd she hates it! Now my husband and I argue when we dont see each other daily bc we r so used to it. It was definately hard when he was away to college but we made it

That's how my SO and I are. When we're apart and physically disconnected we become meotionally disconnected and fight more. But dd used I have a babysitter who said her husband had went on 3 voluntary Iraq tours because they're relationship gets better

Actually before he wasn't working and were together almost all the time and it put a strain on the relationship. When he was working we were perfectly happy.
