Hi There,
I like your version of how to survive a long distance relationship, but as you probably already know, it is not for everyone. I have tried to do long-distance relationships of just 40 miles and it didn’t work because I wanted the person to be physically with me all the time. I would drive there and she would drive here, but soon it started to become a bother in that we were tired after work, had other things to do and so it really didn’t feel like a relationship, it felt more like an arrangement.
But I live in the UK and had a somewhat girlfriend in the US and we were cool because we really didn’t have many expectations and trusted what we couldn’t see, so we never knew or spoke about what might be going on behind the scenes. But like you mentioned in your outlined plan if adhered to I think it would work as you say.
