Just something interesting that I have observed. It seems to be left out of conversation and discussion that All Good Relationships take Lots of Work. Period.
What makes the long distance relationships more visible is the fact that often, you have to spend more time nurturing and continuing the healthy relationship in ways that are not always pursued when you have the luxury of close contact. But, on the other hand, LDR can save you a lot of heartache, if you are simply not on the same wavelength - this will show up a lot faster LD than in normal day to day face time.
in my current relationship, I have done a stretch of 9 months long distance, followed by 2 years together, followed 6 months LD - now we are under one roof.
