Since I live 10 miles from the border, I could see that working fine. Then again, since I have been happily married for 47 years, I am not really into dating anymore.

There is something peaceful about having given up the dating scene.

I am older right now, four grand-kids, one great-grandson.

Once in a while i get a little wistful, and wish. However, two very bad marriages (the last certainly fills the definition of nightmare), I am content to be mom and grandmother.

Way too much stress, plus wrong choices by me. However, the first marriage did give me three great kids, and five grand-kids, so that was worth it in the long run.

The only long-distance relationships that ever work out are those in the military.

lol.  This is not true.  And a lot of times when a spouse is over seas for a year or more they are BOTH cheating.

I said it before, but I don't see it ever working out. It can, obviously everything is not black and white here. There are exceptions, but overall, I don't see it working.

I didn't say they always work out. They seem to be the most common that DO work out. These people chose the military life and get it. This is, as opposed to say, meeting random people online that you've never even seen other than Skype.

I don't even date anyone in my own city!

Kidding, sort of. I just don't have time to date, so maybe that would be "ideal," but at my age, I hardly see the point in dating across state lines unless you were dating before and they (or I) moved.

I would never date someone in another state unless I was already in a relationship with the person and one of us had to move for work purposes and it was only going to be temporary.

I would have to say to be straight forward. Sorry I have no other good advise.

I think long distance relationships are hard to sustain but I guess it's possible.

I have before. It was very hard! But it can work, just depends on your situation.

Depends.  I'm currently in a long distance relationship but we started off living in the same place.  Then we moved and lived together.  We're in different states now.

I would do it in a heart beat! It makes the relationship more steamier when you see each other...lol. As for the girlfriend going home to the ex-husband, as long as they are honest with one another and she is not using him. Some marriages cannot afford to live separately now a days where they still reside in the same home but separately because they can't afford to live any where else. Also if there are children involved too. Good luck to your friend, hope everything turns out in his best interest. :)

I suppose it could work... depending on how long the relationship has been going... if it's temporary or a permanent situation with distance in between.  If it were my friend I would be there for them... the ex factor is a huge red flag.
