Talulah Cross has been in a long distance relationship officially for about 2 month after " talking " for about a year. Cross met her boyfriend when she lived in Texas but had to move to New York when her father who is in the military, had to go to a different base. Cross said that her and her boyfriend "t alk on the phone and FaceTime and talk about our days and what’s going on in our lives to stay updated as if we are there.” That way they keep their routine as normal as possible. Cross said being in a long distance  relationship makes you cherish the time you get to have with each other when visiting. That waiting for each other is worth it. 

Adrienne Ruder and her boyfriend, who is in the Navy Reserves , have been in a long distance relationship for two and a half years.  Adrienne is a freshman at Michigan State University and has dealt with her boyfriend being on missions that have lasted 6 months, one that lasted 8, and she says that the one he is about to go on will last almost a year.  Ruder said that the easiest way to keep things normal when he is away is to keep a routine, one that was kept before the significant other leaves, "I will text him sometimes what I’m doing even though I can’t respond, just because that’s what I normally do.” Ruder said that long distance relationships are worth it if you can see yourself with that person for a long time, even the rest of your life.
