I'm currently in a long distance relationship so I guess I am pro long distance in a way (it is truly a pain in the ass):D. But I was in a non-long distance relationship before for 6 years but after 3-4 months a part it ended fairly badly. Nevertheless, my current long distance relationship is one of the best thing that I have ever came across. So I guess my point is it really does depend on the person you with and the determination, amount of planning and the desire to make it work as a team are the factors that lead to any happy non-long distance relationship or long distance relationship.
