Yep, done both of these things and they do put quite a strain on you. I wasn't ready to live with ktspktsp in the fall, but we were stuck with the situation for about 5 months. Nearly killed us--at least, my part of us. Then we went from being 24-7 together to being 170 miles apart... talk about a transition. And now I'll be gone overseas all summer before coming back to weekends-only again.
It's gonna be some years before we are consistently together again, but I do think all the growing-up we have to do in the meantime will prepare us for living together for a much longer period of time in the future. At least, that's my hope. Being with a serious bf/gf in non-ideal situations during the tumultuous 20s is a crazy experience, but hey, it puts hair on your chest. For us, it's still worth it to keep trying.
