Can a long-distance relationship work?

For many, it can be a turning point in their relationship when one person has to move. There is a general notion that such relationships don t last as the romance fizzles out sooner or later. Says Nandita, Many long-distance relationships certainly succeed, but they require careful steering from the people involved to direct through the obstacles brought on by geography. Efforts are required from both parties to build and maintain the relationship with trust, understanding, support, love otherwise things can go sour.

What can go wrong?

Being in a long-distance relationship can be tough and there are certain problems which can crop up over time. These include:
