Has anyone had one? Did it work out?

We went out for over a year on and off and she kept breaking up with me and then wanting to get back together then wanted to go out with other guys then wanted it to be serious between us, basically not getting to see each other enough made it very very very difficult for us. i kept trying to make it work, but she didnt, so much.
They can work i am sure though, if both of you know what you want.
We didn't see each other enough, and any time we did we argued because there was so much pressure to enjoy every minute we did have together. It didn't really help that instead of people being happy for us we got a lot of spite and stuff, but we had a good wee while toegther when we made each other really happy. Truth be told, I don't think either of us were really able to deal with the distance. We still love each other to bits though and I don't regret what happened at all.
Some people can do it, but I think one of you need to have some sort of plan to move after a while otherwise there's not a lot of point.
Cool. How far apart if you don't me asking?
200 miles
we spend 3 nights together every other weekend. and even more over the summer. (we dont go to the same uni or live near each at home). It works perfectly, i have a separate live with and without her, and i do quite enjoy the travelling, as its not too costly at all.
I was getting ready to move to Bristol to live with him and I think our relationship changing in such a big way made things go a bit weird and we broke up!
Id do it again though given my time again - LDRs have their good points and their bad but they are difficult to maintain and you never know how well you would get on if you were closer.
