There seem to be a couple of crazy women in the audience whose laugh is very distinguishable.

@rougeclair: My GF lives in the same country, but it's still 4 hours to go with the train. And it is not so much about the distance, it is about her going to university. Before she was going, we talked very often over phone, etc. and it worked out great. I still love her and I am not thinking about breaking up, but I barely hear from here ant that kinda makes me feel lonly.

1:28 - I think you have to tell you partner the truth. With the first lie you make, everything will go downhill.

@TheKristen1985 Wow, way to take butthurt to homophobic levels.

this is bullshit advice. basically he's telling you that it's impossible to be monogomous in a long distance relationship. just because you're a gay animal dan, who can't control yourself sexually, doesn't mean that everyone is!

gays always find the need to tell you their gay

I don't agree with some of his statements regarding getting your "needs met" or not answering questions. Not telling the truth is still deception, and implying that the other partner is doing the same thing is simply erroneous. There are good people out there, and what he's saying is completely contradictory to having an honest and successful relationship.
Keep in mind, this guy doesn't isn't a marriage counselor, he's not a psychologist, he's a writer and majored in history.

Currently in a long distance relationship and he's right, treat it is an open relationship, with trust and understanding and it works

I'm in a long distance relationship built on trust and fidelity. We're students, so we don't have much money, but we do go visit eachother every holiday we have. It's working out. This fall we're both moving to England so we can study together. He lives in Spain, I live in Norway.
We met online, and actually the 3-4 months we talked before we met we didn't kiss or make out with others or anything.
Now I trust him completely, and I have no reason not to.
It IS possible, maybe rare, but possible.
