    Long distance relationships are hokum, I know of which I speak.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this woman is a child of divorce and her father left her mother.

    Abandoned daughters grow up to have relationships with:

    1. a-holes that are nearby -

    so when you break up you're better off, and not abandoned - 'cuz when you were together that guy was so bad for you, what a dick, huh?

    2. great guys that are far away -

    so when you break up you're better off, and not abandoned - 'cuz when you were together you were safe, he was 4 hours away, what a great guy, huh? too bad he's in another time zone.

    Until finally you have an epiphany after putting yourself through so much crap... and you have a relationship with

    3. a great guy that's nearby.

    been there, done that... 1, 2, and 3
