i say it is. with exceptions. if it's only 5 hours away, you can still have a compromise of visiting each other every other weekend. the effort should be met by both of you. if one of you doesn't want to put in all that time and driving, it won't be worth it. or you can keep in touch online as well. it helps to let the other person know you think about them even if they are 100s of miles away.
