I think its up to the people involved to decide how they're going to conduct their relationships and what's best for them.
I imagine there are ups and downs, negative and positive sides to all types of relationships and that all types of relationships require negotiations and compromise.

kunal011988: this is regarding long distance relationship
No, it's nothing for me. I'm not prepared to break up from everything and start all over again in a new country/culture; it's like learning ABC from scratch again. I don't believe it'll work to see each other couple of times a year either.
I wish all people good luck, who are prepared to take that step.
The most awesome woman I know lives in a different country. If she and I were to have a relationship, it would be worth the move. Not everyone is awesome enough to relocate to another country for, but it can happen.
International dating definitely tests ones "metal" so to speak. Being in an international relationship, I speak from experience.
It can be very rewarding and amazing, it has its lonely times, and its together times (hhmmmm, my previous marriage was just like this as well, and we were in the same household).
The biggest factor is faithfulness, red tape, travel, and accommodation.
Fortunately, we both have homes in each country, so it is not a problem for accommodation.
We are getting married as soon as the "Prospective Marriage Visa" comes through which will allow us to live together and marry in my country. But with my fiance being a nurse and it being so close to when she can get a life pension paid anywhere in the world, we have decided to live here and also in her country.
Some think that this is a lot of bother. It is and it isn't. If one is not addicted to possessions, it can be very liberating, as one sheds the weight and worry of "stuff". Most of us only use a little of our "stuff" often, and a lot of our "stuff" infrequently.
So it certainly helps me to keep my "stuff" under control and it is very liberating.
As for the relationship.... I have never met a more dedicated partner, or a more compatible partner. She is fantastic.
So for me it is a no-brainer. Yes, of course. But one must count the cost and weigh up the benefits. For me, the benefits far outweigh the costs.
