How far away does your girlfriend live?

Just wondering what kind of distances you have between each other. I'm expecting everything from a different country to an apartment across the street.

Me and my girlyfriend are almost exactly 45 minutes apart. At times it's a little far but usually we don't have a problem with it.

Usually when the conversation starts like "You should come down here, the house is empty" I really start wishing we weren't 45 minutes apart...

Last one was a little over an hour away, which looking back on it was too much trouble.

20 minutes, last one was about 45 minutes away. It wasn't a big deal.

45 minutes or so before we moved in together. That would probably be my limit. Now that I'm single keep it local, keep it simple.

When we were still dating, my husband lived 1 hour away so we would only see each other during weekends. The commute went on for about 2 years until we moved in together a couple of months before we got married.

Not far.

When we were dating she was about 20 miles which could take 30 minutes or 3 hours depending on traffic.

BF is about 30-40 minutes away depending on traffic. He's always the one traveling, though. If/when he buys a house in the area he's planning on, he'll be a little over an hour away.

When we first started dating we lived roughly 45 miles apart. Since I moved, we live 1.5 miles apart. So, needless to say, she practically lives at my place lol.

Greatest distance we have been apart has been about 6900 miles (she was in Beijing and I was in DC) for about 10 months.

A girl I'm seeing now lives about 30 miles away, which can easily be 5,000,000 years drive time depending on traffic.
