I've done it. It is thrilling and it sucks at the same time. There's nothing like spending a weekend together when you haven't seen each other for a month. A solid week of phone sex helps to make it even better.
But being so far apart in times when you need someone there is awful. Those huge phone bills and credit card bills from airline and hotel costs.
I met a guy online back when I was a sysop on Compuserve (I said it was a long time ago). We did the long distance thing.. me in San Francisco, him out in the Mojave (Victorville). About 9 months later he got a job up in the Bay Area and moved.
Six years later we moved to Washington and just a few months ago we got married! But the long distance part of our relationship was a challenge I wouldn't want to deal with again. For him I'd do it again, but I wouldn't have to like it.
