I'm well aware that some people are going to be offended by this, but I know I'm not the only one thinking it.
To the people posting threads about being "long distance" from their SO yet being within 3 hours driving distance from them:
1. You're not long-distance, you're lazy. Both of you. If you can't sacrifice a couple hours from your week to visit your significant other, it's not because it's too far, it's because you're not trying hard enough.
2. There are some people using this site with some real distance problems. There are international relationships, military relationships, relationships that span all the way across the country. These are people that can't help being Long Distance, myself included. I only wish I lived 3 hours from my fiance, and I'm sure others can say the same.
3. You're actually annoying. Your constant complaints about missing them or fearing that you're "not going to see them for two years" are absolutely ridiculous. You miss them? Get in your car, put on some music, and you'll be there before you get through Led Zeppelin II.
4. Along with not wanting to hear your sob story, no one feels sorry for you. Especially not the people dealing with real problems. Imagine having to wait months or maybe even years to even receive a phone call from your SO because of some unfortunate circumstance. And how about the people trying to obtain visas just so they can stay here for a little while?
I do appreciate this site because I think it helps people in actual LDRs to stay positive through all of the hard times, but it irks me beyond belief to hear someone crying about being long distance and live in the same fucking state. That's all.
