It sounds like you have something good there, Tequila.
To Jay... I tend to agree with mike, it's time to start looking for somebody who won't play around with you. Unless you really trust her, the distance probably won't work.
But... distance relationships definitely can work. I am in one, and fear I may always be. Husband's military, and I think we've had a TOTAL of less than 6 months actually in the same 60 mile radius of each other over.. I guess about 3.5 years now. The internet does wonders.
That said, I am of the mind that every couple should be forced to go through some period of forced separation. The impressions I get are that most relationships can't handle it, but the ones that do turn out okay.
