Bad for your mental health. But I had to move TO the snow belt to do it. . . Sometimes, though, I've found that a relationship that holds out fine over long distances can fall apart when the distance is removed. It's like breaking a certain equilibrium that you've managed to construct. This is the first time I've tried this with a relationship that had been nothing BUT long-distance, though, so the results are not yet in. Stay tuned. Have you ever noticed how EXPENSIVE LDR's are???
