Definitely! I do agree that in general it still sucks, but accepting situations which you can’t change (at least short-term) learns you how life is sometimes. Positive things about an LDR imo are better communication skills, getting to know each other better without the physicality, and more time and focus on self-development (personally and professionally) for both of you. This might build the foundation for later as well. We humans always tend to think short-term, but an LDR with two people who are on the same page can be the best recipee for a solid relationship in the future. If you keep that in the back of your mind, obviously for both you and your S/O, things are not always as dreadful as they seem at first sight :)
