On the surface it may look like they want the same things, but underlying those desires are values that don't support one another. So I think the relationship can grow, strengthen and survive, but that might not look the way you'd normally imagine when you think about an LLTMBR. It might mean great challenge, hardship, pain, and separation, and that's fine. Not what I want in a LLTMBR, but certainly what some people are committed to, not realizing it's in conflict with what they want.
Thank you for replying, Angela and Alex. They are great answers. It's really a thousand times better to read the opinions of others. It makes the reality of the situation so much more "in your face".
Again, I really appreciate the answers.
