    Someone once told me:

    "La distancia es el aire que apaga el fuego corto y enciende el largo"

    There's no right way to translate this, so roughly:

    "Distance is the air that extinguishes weak fire and lights up the strong ones"

    Wise, wise man.

    I was in a long distance relationship for almost 3 years. I was in Sydney and she was in Lima (she then moved to Barcelona). In the end, the distance was stronger than our relationship.

    Having been through a long distance relationship I can say that it's the ultimate test for commitment, so if you're madly in love, YOU WILL make it work. Unfortunately for us, that wasn't our case.

    Happy ending: My ex started dating again and I fell in love with another girl and she's absolutely amazing :)

    Well I had a couple in my life, I'm an old salty married guy now. But you know what? Long distance relationships rocked because you could go out and nail anyone without too much guilt or danger of being caught.

    I'm in one from DC-Palm Beach, Florida 6 months together 6 off with the winters in FL. Broken up with week vacations or a cruise when we are apart with calls twice a day.

    Wise words indeed! And I agree... if you've to spend so much time and money just to see the person, it HAS to be strong to keep going.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    15000km.

    I don't see it as a relationship. More like voluntary torture.

    Yeah, cheating is so cool.
