it's not that hard if you really like the person. i haven't seen tom for i dunno, between 1-2months. but we both have obligations to keep us occupied so i haven't really felt lonely while he's been gone and i speak to him every 2nd day and we send emails and sms' so the contact never dies. right now it's interstate, he's in QLD, but it'll turn to international when he goes back to england. that is uber long distance, pretty much the furthest point of the world from australia. [hooray...not]. but i dunno if i'll still be with him by the time he leaves cause we'll have been together for a year and that's a bit optimistic of me... lol. but yeah it's not hard if you put effort into it, and when you like the person the effort is really no effort at all because you want to know how they are and you want them to know you miss them, etc etc etc. the hard part is not having any physical contact. but it makes you realise whether they were just a convenient boyfriend or if you like them for who they are. if that made sense. i hope it did. working wtih backpackers i've met a lot of people who have long distance relationships, and it works. one of my friends only see's her boyfriend every 6months. and they've been doing that for a couple of years. now they're travelling the world together. and my sister and her bf have been long-distance for five years, they used to live a suburb apart and for about 4 years they've lived states apart. i also think it depends on your ability to remain monogamous. and like also you cherish every single millisecond you spend with that person. when i see tom next i won't let him go
