Ok since I have actually done it before I have 2 answer yes and no.

Yes if you really LOVE each other and I can not stress this any further LOVE each other you can. I have friends who actually got married and now have a baby she is in Manila and he is New York

No if you can not be faithful and you can not accept that people have need, and sometimes they just need to get a piece of the pie.

If people wants answer its not found outside the relationship but between the people involve even normal couples who are in the same house can still find it very difficult to stay together. It only meant more sacrifices. So better asked your self is he or she worth it all the of it? if you can answer this question with a resounding YES then go for it but if not better stay friends.

There are no clear answer with this question only the person involve knows the answer. Wink

It will take a lot of courage, patience, trust, faith to make LDR really work. And yes in reality there is no clear answer like what sanell said. And don't forget...magastos Smiley

Character is what you do when no one is looking.

wow, talk about magastos!!!

we were emailing each other everyday, and at least two letters a week by post, then there's the monthly phone bills, 20,000 baht on average. That was bout what, 7-8 years ago? How much more now?

Needs... sacrifices... they all have a part to play.

One thing I find wise about what our friends are doing right now - they made an agreement that if they have to be apart, they have to see each other at least three times a year. They had to let go of a job opportunity in Canada because that agreement was at risk of not being fulfilled. Need... sacrifice...

It is very difficult not to grow apart if you don't see eahc other often enough. letters, emails, phone calls just won't do it. experiences have to match, the people you meet won't be the same, it's just not the same.

I have seen a few MARRIED relationships collapse because the wife got overwhelmed by all that's new and exciting about life in Thailand. It could get very confusing especially for somebody who's never been out of the country. Sorry, but i think, women are more at risk of losing focus because we are highly emotional.

It can work but its not advisable. People at times grow away each other. Their minds are influenced with different cultures, different situations and of course different temptations. If you are working, you tend to be busy. You tend to be tired. You tend to forget that there is someone waiting for you. In a different city, with a different time zone.

You will misunderstand each other, you will be longing for comfort that you used to have 24/7... You will look for an outlet to release your feelings but not necessary in an intimate manner. It can be work, can be your friends, studying another language, etc.

It is something very hard and will test your faith, patience and trust...

This is my 2 cents... Buhay nyo parin yan. Malaki na kayo:P

now thats the attitude Candy.  tama yan.

i agree with most replies to this thread, ldr is a sacrifice.  di cya madali, but it totally depends on the 2 persons involved if they can make it work.  so there's no yes or no answer to your question Candy.

Tama ka diyan Josephil. Dami ngang potential dito Smiley

Pero as for LDR naman I heared one story na nabuntis ang babae sa colleage niyang puti. Teacher silang pareho. Ang masama wala silang pinagawayan ng asawa at may dalawa silang anak sa Pinas. Hindi niya pinalaglag ang bata (masama nga naman yun)  Huh?

Pag married ka, hindi advisable mag abroad mag-isa... Dapat magkakasama kayong mag-asawa kasi prone to temptation ang bawat isa sa inyo. Sa ganung situation, dapat maging matatag ka. Maraming situation na ganyan dito sa Thailand. May asawa sa Pilipinas peromay ka live-in dito sa Thailand. LET'S PRAY FOR THEM...
