Even though California is pretty large, when I lived in SF, I always thought of going to the East Bay as a day trip.

--- Quote from: Ghanima Atreides on 09 Apr 2021, 07:25 ---2-3 hour drive? They could see each other once a week at a minimum until something more permanent could be arranged. My boyfriend and I lived across Europe from one another and saw each other 3 times a YEAR - for 5 years until we could finally move in together. So, I don't see the problem here. :roll:

I have done similar repeatedly before and I hated it. It definitely isn't for everyone.

I guess within driving distance barely feels like long distance to me :laugh: But you're right, it's not easy, and not for everyone, especially when the relationship is just one week old.

Also, if you live in a city two hours of driving is nothing. I wouldn't consider two hours of driving away as really "long distance". Hell you could drive there after work for a quick booty call if you really wanted to. I feel like a relationship that can't survive that is kind of failing for other reasons, like laziness? This is assuming both people have cars though.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Even less a problem if they can find a motel midway between them.
Tova:
Speaking of long distances, if this lengthy conversation is still about the Faye and Angus breakup, I'd suggest going back and re-reading.
Spoiler alert: it wasn't about the distance.

--- Quote from: Cypher on 09 Apr 2021, 03:45 ---"Is Dan cooler than Angus"- Sure, Angus bears some of the blame (although what, he was supposed to just throw away his life's ambition?) but I'd have to say Faye did play quite a big part in the collapse of the relationship, just saying... I mean, what was Angus REALLY supposed to say when she said "I know I should be happy for you, but I'm not" then stared blankly into thin air? "Oh, he didn't TRY hard enough"- if he'd kept pushing everyone would say "he's out of line, he should take no for an answer" etc etc.

Yeah, that byline also rubbed me the wrong way a bit. Could Angus have done things differently way back when? Absolutely. But in that situation, it was definitely not due to him 'not being cool' that their relationship ended. In fact, I'd argue that Angus did most things right.
"Is Dan cooler than Faye" would've been more appropriate in this case.
