ribs... wow, thanks for your story. The lines above struck me the most, and I have some questions for you that might apply to this thread.
Do you think that it was really the distance that killed you guys, or was something else up? What were the things you did that weren't "small" and that lacked personal connection? What made you come to the conclusion in your quote? What if you had been married beforehand, would that have made a difference (if nothing else, in your individual choices for work)?
They always say that distance is sort of the proving grounds for a relationship... that it's not really about the distance, that it only reveals what's really there (or not there). Agree or not??
