If your girlfriend lived 1.5 hours away

I'm 31 and married dude. This is all hypothetical.

As I get older, I can tolerate seeing her less. When we were kids, we were attached at the hip.

Besides, what girl would tolerate that?

A woman - more specifically, a wife.

I guess it depends if the situation of being apart was temporary or permanent. If it was permanent I'd probably make an extra effort or else it would never work out. However I am single now so that probably tells you about how much you should take my advice :laugh:

 

[monk3y]

Probably every weekend.

 

[NinjaGnome]

my wife lived three hours away from me for a year and I saw her every weekend without fail. She was my girlfriend back then as well.

Well, me and my GF can't stand to be apart for more than a day or two, so seeing eachother on the weekends wouldn't work.

 

[Triforceofcourage]

My gf is 3 hours away and we usually spend two weekends a month together.

 

[patentman]

Never. Dump that lump and get yourself something local. You know she will be.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Often. At least once a week if not more often, depending on how much gas money I have.

But I have no GF so it doesn't apply to me anyway

 

[preslove]

Every other weekend. And she should make the drive on the other weekends.

1.5 hours isn't local? Where do you guys live? Which part of the sticks?

 

[clamum]

If I had the same work schedule as I do now (9-5 M-F), every weekend.

I'm 26, she's 25. We worked in the same building for the first two months that we saw each other so it was easy. When I got a new job we still wanted to see each other so we did. She really wants to be with me, so she tolerates it for the same reason I do... if we want to be together we have to.

I'm not ready to move in with her or marry her, and i'm not going to rush into anything like that simply because I find this too inconvenient. I'm sure it would be a lot more inconvenient to move in with or marry the wrong person.

every weekend or two.

1.5 hours isn't local, its a PITA distance. Its too far to just stop over, meaning you would have to stay all weekend (which you won;t always want to do), and its close enough that you will feel like an idiot about it after a while. I did the 1.5 hour GF thing and trust me, it gets old.

Moreover, if she is a in college it will be a small miracle if she doesn't start looking around. Its only natural. College is like hook up paradise. No where else in life will you find yourself surrounded by so many eligible, attractive persons of the opposite sex, with nothing else to do on the weekends except study, party/get drunk, hook up and...oh...see your girlfriend/boyfriend from 1.5 hours away. I'm not saying you guys won't try, and I'm not saying you won;t succeed. But honestly the chances are slim. I've seen this bug get many of my friends. You're better off cutting her loose now and finding someone closer. Unless of course this 1.5 hour thing has a foreseeable ending that isn't years away.

And for the record, I wouldn't call DC the sticks.

100% correct. Don;t get married unless you are 100% certain that you want to be with that person for the rest of your life. I am married and 100% happy with my relationship with my wife, whatever ups and downs it may have. But that is only because we went into marriage with the mentality that we would make our relationship work and work hard at it.

 

[Ronstang]

I would find another girlfriend. Too damn many women out there to create problems and distance is a problem.

 

[DainBramaged]

Fri eve, Sat, Sun

 

[Tiamat]

Every other week. She would come visit me every other other week.

 

[kami333]

Probably every weekend or every other (depending on how busy we were, etc)

One summer my gf was living at home (about 100miles, 1h45m drive) and I was taking summer classes at our college. I would drive to her house for the weekend after classes and leave on Monday at 5am to make it to class, that was fun.

So do I. Fortunately she almost always get a lift with someone else (she doesn't have a car), so carpooling is cheaper for us.

I've been with my girlfriend for months. We both live in the Phoenix valley. She's in the northern part, I'm in the southern. We're 1 to 1.5 hours away, depending on traffic. We see eachother all the time. It's the same city! In big cities, you drive an hour sometimes. It's local.

 

[Balt]

On the weekend of every week, unless I had something pressing to do.

 

[PrinceofWands]

An hour and a half is nothing. I drive that every day to school. I've dated two girls in Canada...we're talking a 5-6 hour drive. Did it 2-4 times a month on average.

 

[krunchykrome]

Once a week.

Then again, it depends on a few things

 

[GeekDrew]

once every 2-3 days wouldn't be too often for me.
