Would you purposefully choose to get involved in a relationship if you knew you wouldn't see your partner very often? I think it depends on the people involved at a particular point in time. If you like someone enough, you'll be willing to put up with things that you might not have in previous relationships. But even for the strongest couples, this type of situation can cause a strain.
And it's true – they are hard, one must have a high degree of trust, and the seemingly endless carting around of your belongings from one place to another.
It doesn't hurt when you're crazy punch-drunk mad about each other, count down the days until you're together again. While the time apart kills you, it makes the time both of you do spend together spectacular. But sometimes people around you seem to have more of a problem with your boyfriend's schedule than you do. They always ask you if you are sad and if you miss him and they look at you with pity.
On the bright side, one of the major benefits of ...is the fact that it forces you to learn how to verbally communicate with each other. Many relationships are based on fun, on joint activities, on social events. Couples aren't forced to tackle issues until they are cohabitating or married.
