Well, here's a thread that brings back memories... my husband and I started dating in high school, and only 4 months of our dating relationship (which was about two and a half years total) was NOT long distance.
It sucked, a LOT, but I'm glad we stuck it out. Letters, cards, phone, email, instant messaging....we used all of it.
About...hmm...maybe halfway through (well, I didn't know it was "halfway" at the time), I got discouraged and told him it wasn't going to work anymore, and that we should start seeing other people. Luckily, I figured out that while other guys were a lot more accessible, I didn't WANT them.
So, yeah...very tough...but worth it in the end if it's love
