Certainly, long-distance relationships are hard to maintain, but I'd be
interested to find out what percentage really fail.  Also, how does
this correlate with age?  I'll bet most high-school romances fail if
the two go off to separate colleges.  But, I'll bet fewer college romances
fail, say if one of the couple transfers to another college, or if
both graduate and take jobs relatively far away.  Obviously, you'll
NEVER see one another if one's in NY and the other's in LA, but if one's
in NY and the other's in Boston, then it's reasonable to see one another
every other weekend.

In my experience, I've seen four long-distance relationships.  Two
resulted in marriage, eventually; one is still going; and the last (the
only once that started in high school) failed.  That's a 25% fail rate.

Comments?
