Even when alcohol isn't involved, long-distance and Internet relationships tend to be much more intense than face-to-face relationships, if only because we automatically use imagination and fantasy to fill in all the faraway blanks. Until we meet. When we experience the reality of living with a real person with all their 3D flaws, reality can hit us like a ton of bricks. Anyone can be nice, caring and compassionate from a distance. It's what we do and what we feel when we share our lives with someone that defines the relationship.
