Just wanted to know do you think a long distance relationship say of 230 miles would it work!

yes and no .... mine worked between glasgow and sheffield .. but the time comes when someone has to relocate, and none of us could because for me i didnt want to uproot my kids .. and for him his business and his son were there ....

yup i know so, but it would require relocation, i think the hardest thing is missing the other person, but i'd move anywhere and take my little girl with me while she's not at school, only for the right person though

he so was the right person too thats the maddening thing .. but like i said my kids were seetled in school love where we live and i just couldnt them through any more upheaval just for my happiness ( which insidently might not work out ) and i'd have sold my house and end up with nothing ... big risk

not right away .. i'd suggest maybe a year or so seeing how you get on first , but i think its inevitable

Well Dave..Tony and I are approx 1500 miles apart and we are working it..his telephone bill is huge, but he says who cares

Huge phone bills No prob! travelling in this day and age is so easy fast and cheap! i once dated a lady in Edinburgh! a oneway trip of 450 miles! a flight from Exeter to Edinburgh booked on the Net with Flybe 2 weeks in advance cost me £39 return!

I've was in a long distance relationship that lasted for 3½ years. I was in Liverpool and he was in London. It was ok at first, but then because I was doing all the travelling it felt like one tedious cycle. Friday night driving, sat there, sunday driving home , monday - friday working with unpacking & washing & paking again in between, then friday night driving again!!!

(I'm boring myself even writing it! LOL)

I think to behonest it depends on the people involved, the give & take and the commitment from both parties.

When it was all going well the bad part about it was the missing the person in their absence. Its difficult to have all or nothing, and no inbetween... no popping over for an evening, cinema during the week, etc... You can go from a gorgeous high to a miserable low being so far apart.

Anyway - after all that, I'd say - if it feels right - GO FOR IT! If it doesn't work out - at least you can say you tried.
