It takes me 45 minutes just to get home from work. Even if they usually only get to spend time together on the weekends, they at least have the option of getting together before then, or being available in case of an emergency. My boyfriend is 900 miles away, so when he was in a car accident two months ago, I couldn't do a single thing... I couldn't jump in a car, the only thing I could do was browse plane tickets to see if I could find something cheap enough and even then the next flight didn't leave for almost 8 hours. That being the worst case scenario of course, but what about when your birthday or Valentine's Day falls on a weekday - even if your schedules are tricky you can get to one another and get home easily within a day, you don't have to devote a whole weekend, or take multiple days off work. Be grateful you DON'T have a real LDR. All I have to say is 30 minutes is NOT long distance, by any standard. It takes me 45 minutes just to get home from work.
