Can a relationship work if you're living 50 miles apart?

..I guess it's not that far but it seems a long way, all we've got is his bicycle so it's going to be public transport, phone, email, text and not enough time together. Maybe it won't be easy but I've decided I want to try it and he told me today he does too so...anyone else doing the same or is it a stupid idea?
 
It's not a stupid idea. I had a relationship with about the same distance between us that lasted over 2 years. You guys can make it work so long as both of you are comfortable not seeing each other every day. And SEPTA isn't *too* horrible so seeing each other may not be too difficult. If you guys go for it, good luck!! :-D
 
It does, my boyfriend lives 80 miles away, and we've been together for 15 months.
 
I started dating my hubby while he was in college at Northwestern. I lived in Ann Arbor. He was only 19, and had 2.5 years to go. We generally only saw each other a couple of weekends a month, and he went home to NY for the summers. It wasn't easy, but we managed.

And now, we've been together over 14 years. Whee! (I'm so darned lucky.)
 
Of course you can do it. My partner was in Seattle WA (600 miles away) when we got together. We carried on long distance for a year and managed to see eachother every four to five weeks. That was ten years ago and we're still going strong

If it's right - it's possible
 
50 miles is nothing. Try having him on the other side of the world for 16 months. That's a true test of a relationship.

Ditto - I was in grad. school and hubby was in Atlanta one hour away - that situation lasted 1.5 years. We saw each other on weekends and breaks from school.

14.5 years later, here we are.

I think that distance at the start was the best thing possible - preventing that new relationship burnout of always feeling like you have to be together 24/7.
 
It can work, but try to work on the relationship where you can one day be closer together. A genuine relationship in my mind would be two love birds living under the same roof.
 
It can work, but not without effort on both sides to keep the relationship alive. You guys obviously cannot see each other all the time so you also have to be confortable with absences from each other. Like Just_Believe said, you will hopefully both work toward being geographically closer if the relationshop flourishes.
 
You won't know until you try!!
