i visit mine every week or every other week. She lives 1.5 hours away from me too. Although, if either of us are busy with school, I might not see her for a month.

after being in an LD relationship, and seeing my SO once every 3 weeks, feelings really wore off and I would say that was the downfall of our relationship. she was away in college for 2 years and it's what pretty much made me lose feelings.

That and her probably getting interested in other dudes had something to do with it as well....it's college man... :D

the fact that i broke up with her and she didn't really want to ... i kinda doubt that was really part of it :p

1.5 hour drive a long distance relationship? Wow..

There are people that drive 1.5 hours, one way, to work each and every work day.
[raises hand]

Work is different though. You're married to that one. ;)
I've considered doing this but my job isn't good enough to justify all the gas I would use.

actually it would be directly proportional to the quality and quantity of teh sex0rz
Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Which is probably why I have a girlfriend for approximately 2 weeks at a time.

Why are you still 1.5 hours away from your wife? :confused:

For one semester me and my GF were about 1.25 hours apart. I would visit her once or twice during the week, then every weekend.

My job is in the same town that I grew up in so I stay with my parents during the week (no rent) and drive down to our place on the weekends. My wife is in med school which requires her to be down there. I've been trying to get a job where we live for the past year but I haven't had any luck. It's not an ideal situation but I have a job and she's able to continue going to school so we're making it work.

once a week at least

I agree, I would love if my GF was only an hour and a half away. Mine is 3 hours away and I see her every weekend.

That's what I was thinking! My GF and I DO live 1.5 hours away from eachother. However, we both live in the Phoenix area. I don't consider it a "long distance relationship". :) And we see eachother almost daily. Maybe 5X a week.

What percentage of the time does she put out for me when I go? Anything less than 99% and I would never go see her :D

For those who answered "once a week" or "on the weekends", how old are you? If you're high school or college age, I can see that. But if you're out of college and older, how can you see your GF only once a week? Besides, what girl would tolerate that?

This is about equal to my situation.

Edit: Actually it's about 1 hour 45 minutes. She usually takes a train to come see me. There's a lot more to do in my neighborhood, and I live alone so it just makes sense.
