How many people have left voice messages or e-mails for someone else that could potentially change the entire relationship? Was it a good idea in retrospect?
Alternate poll question:
Does anyone know of a long distance relationship that's worked?

Poll number one:
Once, I was having an argument on the phone with a man I was dating. He hung up on me.
Well, what would you do? I immediately grabbed my smokes and took a walk to my friendly neighborhood bar, where I chatted with the bartender and several other local regulars.
When I got home, there were 23 (!) messages on my answering machine, each one more apologetic and sniveling than the one before. I was never able to look at him the same way again, and the realtionship died shortly after.
Poll number two:
Relationships that are temporarily long-distance seem to do okay. My husband was called to active duty about a year after we started dating. The 6 months apart was tough, but not insurmountable.
Relationships that start out long distance, or have no end to their long distance-ness in sight, are pretty much set up to fail. In my experience, anyway. And ussually the endings are not pretty.
