<p>Passing through CC briefly and wanted to update this thread, for the sake of completeness. The boyfriend whom the OP references is me. I’m an ex-boyfriend now. We never did the long-distance relationship thing, nope. It ended before we could even give that a shot. When I came to CC I was a boy with poor grammar, full of hope, full of passion, and full of good-humor. Now I’m a 23-year-old adult with better grammar, some hope, some passion, and most of my good-humor. So yeah, life is a real ■■■■■. I work 40 hour weeks for the Man so I can Put Bread On The Table, and I only get 30 minutes of paid lunch during which I consume said Bread. And generally some yogurt, a banana, and maybe some chips if I’m feeling particularly devilish.</p>
<p>I learned a lot from this long-distance relationship. Mainly how to feel ■■■■■■ for a few months and still maintain good grades. I actually found it was harder to feel not-■■■■■■ and maintain good grades, so that’s something to consider. My advice for long-distance couples: become short-distance couples. Horrible advice, sorry. I’m not sure I have real advice. How about you both wear Google Glass and maintain a constant video call between each other? That would be really hardcore!</p>
