Do you think real love can last throughout any distance, or will long distance end most relationships?

There are no absolutes when it comes to matters of the heart, as what works for one couple could be a deal-breaker for the next. But when it comes to long distance relationships, I would say it helps if the relationship starts as a long distance situation.

That's how it was for me and Benitha; because talking was (mostly) all we could do, being so far apart, we got to know each other well fairly quickly (even though we would both say that this is a process that never really stops) and we kinda cut out all the usual relationship bullshit from the start.

It definitely makes a difference; if we had started off as a more 'conventional' couple, I don't know if either of us could have handled being 5,000 miles apart for most of the last four-and-a-half years.

But looking back over that time now, just a few days ahead of Benitha and I moving into our first place together, it really doesn't feel like the almost half-a-decade it has been. I think that's a good thing.
