    • Long distance is difficult, but rewarding at the same time......the distance can really test the strength of the feelings between the two people instead of the everyday convenience of just having someone right there at all times, it will make you or break you

    • One of the best things about a long distance relationship is that u can have ur own life a life totally apart from the other prsn u can do things they might not like without fear of them finding out. Hell u can even work at a strip bar or be an escort they'll never know. U can cheat on them and be pretty confident that they'll never find out. U don't have to worry about cling-on's (hard to cling-on to someone 3,000 miles away). It's like having ur cake and eating it to. U have the stability and security of being in a relationship with the freedom of not being in one.

    • What brought me to this POD was the title. I like your story idea, and perhaps that stems from the fact that I've gone through a long distance relationship of 7800 miles across the PAC ocean.
      This is a good concept. You've grabbed the concept of walking the audience through your idea and the story that you are communicating. I think that the facts that you flash up are helpful to bring the piece along. Perhaps some more work on audio, and perhaps some more VO watching the couple who are in a transatlantic relationship. Perhaps you could find one more couple that are both present to be interviewed and could show them interacting and communicating while apart and together.
      Peace,

    • This is an interesting topic, how the age of communication lets relationships exist with more independence from both partners but still stay together.
      I would have liked to hear a bit more about the facts rather then focus on the first hand experience of the two girls though. The audio quality could use some work to. I had to keep adjusting the volume for Dr. Mosby's interview and then lowering it to when the girls would talk.
