Reevaluation

[kingandy]

I've never been a believer in the long-distance relationship. I mean, I know they exist, and I'm sure that people get a lot out of them, but personally I've never seen the appeal. Commuting across the country, shuffling your life so you can snatch a few scant moments with your honey, then driving home again. Somehow this is referred to as "going out with". It seems to me an exercise in futility, and one which will inevitably end badly, with one party or the other on the short end of the commute, or simply growing apart. The Sims, after all, teach us that relationships need to be constantly reinforced by social contact.

That said, today I find myself driven to distraction by an unreasoningly strong urge to reevaluate my position on the matter.

Damn his eyes

Speaking as someone in a LDR I'm quite happy although one day(poss soon) a move is in order. I can understand the problems, certainly from travelling to work from their and having to get up half n hour before I go to bed (tell kids that nowadays they'll not believe ya) to catch the train, not to mention the cost! However we can't help who we fall for and we can't help where they live. Hers is also the nicer area scenery wise and health wise so it's me that's moving.

I can also see why they'd fail, we've had our fair share(possibly more than) of text conversations gone bad because of context problems and come close to splitting a few times due to not seeing each other regularly.
