The researcher side of me decided to look up some statistics about long distance relationships. Here’s the link to a great website where I found the following statistics http://www.longdistancerelationships.net/faqs.htm
So how do we compare with the average?
How far apart do they live? Average: 125 miles; Us: ~2800 miles
How often do they visit one another? Average: 1.5 times a month; Us: at least once a month
How often do they call one another? Average: once every 2.7 days; Us: at least once everyday
How long are their telephone calls typically? Average: 30 minutes; Us: ~an hour
How often do they write one another (not including email)? Average: three letters a month; Us: letters?! who writes letters these days?…
How long do they expect to be separated before they can move closer to one another? Average: 14 months; Us: 1 year?
