I'm a fellow LDR survivor, but not LDM. I've had a few friends and colleagues whose wives were still in Asia while they were in grad school or starting their careers. I have a ton of respect for anyone who pulled that off.

I should have mentioned in my first response that I discouraged my (now) wife from transferring to my college. It didn't have the same opportunities for her to follow her interests. It's still a minor point of contention between us and I'm not sure if I was on the right side of it.

Yes. Because the messaging should be, “Most high school couples break up, but you know what? here are the things you can do to survive a LDR,”

I should know. I not only survived a LDR, but also went through a long-distance marriage. Seriously, being married n having freedom at the same time? Win-win!
