Is either one of you rich? You need a lot of money to visit each other with any regularity. Otherwise I dont think it will work.

Ya... nothing... I guess.

I think travel costs prove as more of a barrier than spoken languages.

The lovers live in different countries?
Would I have any faith in it?

Well by that limited and frankly multi-conclusional statement, your asking us to judge about a couple who we know not of the circumstances of the relationship, therefore the default answer is both Yes and No, as some will inevitably work and some inevitably will not.
So Yes and No.

Is it possible:
Yes... 25%+ I'd guess. Though its all circumstantial.

Alternatively you are asking of a personal perspective if we were involved in this relationship... and if that were the case... this would be a trio............................ which the majority of people would default to saying no to... well I know of one guy in a 3 way relationship on this site so maybe we should ask him.

------------------

Sir your OP is a load of crap please expand it and be a lot clearer.

I'm friends with two people in this situation, and when they chat on Twitter it makes me want to projectile vomit. They appear to genuinely care about each other, though, so I can have some faith in another similar situation.

I've seen it work on a couple of occasions. A couple of my friends from an online gaming community just got married, and they were in totally opposite sides of the world when they met.

But like with ANY relationship do be careful, don't rush into anything, and just have fun.

I've tried long-distance too many times to have any faith at ALL in it. Unless you and your sweetie see each other once a week, forget intimacy and meeting of minds. And unless you're PORKING that often, fidelity of the X-rated kind is off the table as well!

My Mum and step dad are from to different countries. They spend six months away from each (South Africa and Australia) and are now married. These kind of relationships are possible.

Completely possible. I'm willing to give them a chance and root for them either way, even if in personal experience it wouldn't work.

I'm just gonna take a stab at it right quick..

Girl/Boy joined organization, military most likely, and you want to keep in touch with the person leaving/staying behind. Am I anywhere close?

Long term distance relationships never work out despite what romance films tell you. Most of the time the one staying behind will want to end it before the other returns.

I am in the beginning of such a relationship, but I never mentioned that in the OP because I was too embarrassed about it.

This blooming long-distance relationship with this girl is THE only thing my love life can call a track-record.

Would it work out if she lives in Japan?

Pretty much EVERYTHING is stacked against you - you both have to be incredibly strong willed people if you want this to have any chance of working. If you're still both young, without wanting to come across as cynical, it is unlikely to work; not because you're young but because you aren't going to be in a position to settle down for decades to come.

But, and this is most important, if you are both happy - it would be a sillier idea to not pursue the relationship.

I'm living in China, my girlfriend is Japanese and living in America. We both have no idea about the future and have chosen to not worry about it.

It is possible to be in such a relationship for a while and to enjoy it, but to believe that it will be a happy ending might be somewhat unfounded. It all depends on the two people in the relationship though.

Your chances get drastically better if you move to Japan. That sounds like I'm joking but I'm not.

Seriously, for the right person, moving halfway across the world shouldn't be too scary. I have a friend who did just that eight years ago. Long story short he has a son now and he lives in Chiba. Make sure you like each other, make a trip to visit. If things work out in person, do like he did and line up a job teaching english. Bing bang boom, happy life (possibly).

She could alternately come here. But there's a lot of reasons why your going over there is easier.

Also is she cute? Pics now.

Chances are it'll all go to shit, but if you think you could sustain it, go ahead.

I've had a friend who actually made it work until one of them could move, which was 2 years.
Granted you can't have it as exclusive as a normal relationship.
