I've only ever heard of LDRs ending badly. Can it work or is it best to end things on a good note?

A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

So, I've been seeing a guy for about 8 months or so and it's been sort of on/off but at the moment it's great. However I've been offered some work overseas and I'm worrying about what will happen to our relationship if I go, especially since I don't know for definate how long I'd be out there.

I do already have a job so I could turn the work down but I've worked there before and I really enjoyed it (and the weather's much better out there lol) But on the other hand, he is special to me so I'd rather not spend 6+ months away from him. Also if I take this job, it's likely I'll be offered more work out there in the future and I know I'd find it hard to say no (like I am now!)

He says I should go but I've only ever heard of LDRs ending badly. Can it work or is it best to end things on a good note?

I agree with Britt429 completely. I'm in an LDR myself. You just have to stay commited and always communicate. As long as you know there's light at the end of the tunnel (knowing you will be together again in 1 or 2 years), you will be able to pull through. Provided that the both of you are ready for that kind of commitment. Good luck!

Not all LDR's end badly! I know of several success stories. If you are meant to be together...you will endure the separation.

If you don't go, and the relationship doesn't work out, you will regret not going! However if you do go and the relationship doesn't work out, at least you know you took the risk!

LDR's are difficult. I don't think I would ever get into one again. But as I said...If things are meant to be they will work out! Everything happens for a reason.

Do what's best to better yourself! If he truly cares, he will support you and be there for you!

I wish you luck in whatever you decide!
