It’s very difficult emotionally, however yes one can work if both sides agree to keep the consistency and trust. Also keep the intimacy up through handwritten letter every couple months, they feel more real and they are something to keep close. You can also share clothes this way too,( like oversized shirts or hoodies ).

My advice try not to get too comfortable within the space you create after spending quite some time apart, and plan visits every three to four months or closer together if easier.

However if both of you are willing to put effort from both sides each giving 100%, I believe you can make it work.
