The long distance stories I hear where it didn't work out in a healthy way usually involve people a couple of years out of high school.
After that point, it seems like people will deal with the distance with good communication and either decide they don't want to deal with that burden anymore, and break it off, or they solve the problem eventually by moving together. The young ones lie to themselves and stay when they shouldn't. Or cheat.
I don't think it's any easier due to age. I think it has way more to do with the people involved. But I do think a lot of twenty year olds are in long term relationships because they didn't want to just break up or because they are afraid of being alone.
Being alone in a bed with someone else is much worse than just being alone.
