- I agree!! My boyfriend and I are the same way (although we have only been
- together for six months). We are both in college, a long way away from
- our families (we are in Minnesota, and I am from California, he is from
- Kansas). When we were both at our respective homes over Christmas, we
- would call one another and take ten minutes just to hang up. It is nearly
- impossible to just clank the phone down on someone you really love. Sorry
- if this is a little sappy. Important part is ... communicate!!
