"The Long and Winding Road," or Long-Distance Dating

You can't believe it- after all the frogs, you have finally found your prince.  Everything you've ever wanted in a partner.  Smart, fit, good looking, employed, nice teeth, whatever you're looking for, here he is.  The only problem is he's two hours away.  At first you think, okay, how inconvenient.  Then you start trying to rationalize it.  I mean, you work full time, you have kids, you go to the gym, you have friends and hobbies and many things that keep you busy during the week, maybe just seeing someone only on the weekends is fine.  Maybe it can work.  It'll give you all the space you need, during the week.  You can spend the weekends together- wild, passionate, wonderful weekends, just the two of you.

Well.  Not that you asked for my opinion, but of course, I do have one.

Call it the reverse-Nike:  Just don't do it.
