Long distance relationships are next to impossible to sustain. but I think if you start from a solid base of friendship when you meet again you could pick up where you left off. Love doesn't die just because someone isn't physically able to be with you.
But you have to be realistic -- life can't stand still. You have to be able to live your life in the present. You can't be living for the next meeting or the time you are finally together. its too intense and I think you stand still as a person.
I was in a long distance relationship which I ended before I came to brisbane. My boyfriend ( I shoudl say ex...) left SA to travel last July and we continued our relationship. i saw him once in October and it was great . But ultimately I couldn't handle the uncertainty of it and the wondering when we'd be together again so I gave myself and him some certainty....
anyway we talk as much as we did when we were officially together. he's still my greatest support even if he's not with me.
long distance is not for the faint hearted. even if in this age of seemingly easy communication....
