Sometimes you fall in love not with the actual person but with an imaginary ideal, a better version of them that exists only in your mind.
Been there, done that. Several times. Finally got clue-batted, thanks Be.

Four months on Tuesday. *burble*
They *can* work; a once-friend and her sweetie made it work three timezones apart for nine years before she screwed her courage to the sticking-point and moved 3000 miles to be with her... and after five years of together they were happily married... just about the time my (hopefully last) LDR fell apart. But hard doesn't begin to describe it, for me...
