i was in a long distance relationship for most of last year and it was great for the first 6 or so months. the reason it got bad was because she went through some hardships with her work (getting fucked around with her apprenticeship) and there was also some major family issues. although we talked just about every night, once all this shit hit she sorta clammed up and wouldnt say much of anything, which made me super paranoid which just made the whole situation worse. if i had have been stronger we would have lasted longer.
pretty much they are good (you learn how to really love some one and talk to them about the menial things that most people take for granted) and can work, but some times you have to give her space for a day or two, which i didnt.
all that said, we ended up getting back together after 2 months apart and that lasted another 2 months before we both new it was over. we even stayed friends for a while, until she got a new boyfriend. that didnt phase me as i was with someone for a little while afterwards, she just didnt make an effort... but thats another story.
pretty much if you both make an effort and neither of you are the jealous type (i can get very jealous and worry too much at different times) i could see it working quite well for you.
ps hope it goes well for you. if done properly the next 5 1/2 months will fly bye
