Ha ha - Wii, the first boyfriend I had after my ex left was eleven hours away!!!
Now - I wouldn't recommend that (although I have no regrets - he was perfect for what I needed at the time, we're still great friends, and his grown kids are coming to visit me soon ).
But compared to that, what's 45 minutes? If you found the perfect woman, wouldn't it be worth it to spend every other weekend together, and Skype in between?
