Hey all. I didn't even realize this post had been bumped up. I thought it was odd that I was getting PMs about LDs!
Anyway, I've been with my bf for about 3 1/2 years now, and our LD distance has been increased to about 3 hours. We've gotten used to it, and it's really not too bad. We talk every night at the same time, talk via IM, and try to spend as much time together as possible.
Anyway, just saying the LDs can work. It's hard but manageable.
