Holy moley! I don't know if I want to know how many miles we've logged since they've been on our cars. We lived about 100 miles apart for 1 year, and then about 70 miles apart for another year (ending soooon!). We visited each other usually every weekend, alternating off between who commutes. If you want to do the math, be my guest! I hate math.
@beebee89: So far only 7,312 miles between the two of us (including his upcoming trip). Before it's all said and done though there should be one more flight out there, then the drive to move to Nevada (which he is flying out for). So my grand total will probably be:
14,624 miles...
Not too bad with all things considered. Still, that's a lot of miles...
My Mileage...
My boyfriend and I started off together, then he moved to PA. But then he showed up in MA to help me unpack and move there: 250 miles.
Then he made the trip from PA to VT, to help me moved there: 400 miles
Then seeing each other roughly 1x a month, VT to MA: 400 x 4 - 1,600 miles
Then he moved to Florida, I'm in VT which is 1,300 miles - I flew twice. 2x 2,600 = 5,200
I moved to NY, he's in FL for 1 year and 8 months. A distance of roughly 1,000 miles. We visited generally around the New Years, the Spring, Fourth of July, and Thanksgiving.
1,000 (per leg) x 2 = 2,000 (per trip) x 4 (trips per year) x 2 (years, roughly) = 16,000 miles
Then he moved back to NY, to be close to me permanently - 1,000 miles.
So we are at 1,600 + 5,200 + 16,000 + 1,000 = 23,800 miles after 3 years.
Now we're engaged. Hopefully we stay at 23,800.
I've been living in Chicago while he still is in Iowa. It's about 221 one way, so two ways its 442. I have been here for about 21 months and I make the trip at least twice a month.
If you figure this:
442 x 2 (twice a month) x 21 (months we have been aparts) = 18,564. There have been some months where I have gone home more, so I would guess about 20,000 miles in all. Wow, I never realized it was so much until I sat down and figured it out!
Oh goodness, I just tried calculating and couldn't even begin to get there. We met in China - he was from Australia, I was just moving home to the States after living in Australia and England. I went home to Chicago, he was going to Milwaukee to visit his brother who lives there.
We did a few back and forths between Australia and Chicago. We traveled to Europe together (and got engaged there!), traveled around the US together, traveled around Australia, went to New Zealand, are now back living together in Australia. And now we have to head back to Chicago for our wedding in a few weeks!
Yeah, I can't even begin to imagine what our carbon footprint is but we're well over 100,000 miles. And given we have immediate family living in the US, England, and Australia, looks like our travel days won't be calming down any time soon!
We live close for a LDR only about 300 miles apart. I feel very lucky to only be a 4 1/2 drive away from him :)
SO and I are 6328 miles apart right now. That will be changing permanently next year. Most likely we'll be over the 100k mark by then.
SO has been gone since January...and we've already clocked in 3,000 miles! Jeebz.
I never thought of calculating it this way but I might have to figure it out one day. It should be an insane number since we've been apart now for 3 years and live on opposite ends of the country.
so i calculate this by adding up the distance we've traveled to see each other, right?
We did LA to NY for just over two years. About 5 months into our relationship, friends who were also in an LDR gave us a stuffed animal that we then carried back and forth on our trips (I'd fly out, leave it at FH's house, and then he'd fly back with it). FH religiously tracked the stuffed animal's mileage (cause we're special like that), and it had flown over 120,000 miles by the time we moved in together. That does include trips we took together to other places, including Japan, but still, I figure that's about 60,000 for each of us? I do know I've maintained mid-tier frequent flyer status (50,000+ miles) for the last two years. 
We fly back and forth and it's 1876 miles roundtrip (I just checked my frequent flier account). We've been together since March 2010. I've gone there 4 times, he's been here 4 times, and then we went to Hawaii together (roughly 4800 miles each). So we're looking at... wow about 24,600 miles in a little over a year.
Our hours are too far apart to drive. It's likes a 5-7 hour plan ride roughly. So the next time I'll see him will be in 6 months.
Oh man.... I just started to calculate this and it was getting nuts. We lived across the country from one another, went to school away from where we lived (though still across the country from one another), AND our families live in multiple cities - so there are 6 cities (1 of which is international) between us. Recipe for intense mileage!! Let's see if I can figure out the numbers...
It was approx 2500 each way between our schools in Pittsburgh and Los Angeles (depending on connections), so let's average 5000 round trip. We went back and forth around 4 times a year for 4 years....so there's 80,000 to start. Add in the miles for me to go to him and his family in New Jersey several times (6000 miles round trip, x3 for three summer trips), and to go to him and his family in Utah (for the both of us to get there and back, it's 5000 miles again - x5 for many winter trips). Add in a few international trips for us to get to my family (25000 round trip, plus 1500 round trip connection - x2 for the 2 of us, and x3 for our three trips).....
5000x4x4: 80,000
6000x3: 18,000
5000x5: 25,000
250000x2x3: 150,000
1500x2x3: 9000
I can't even add those up, it's too overwhelming. Seriously, THANK GOODNESS we are now finally living together. We are so much happier - and so are our bank accounts!!
Between his summer job shortly after we started dating (no contact at all 5 days a week), the year he was in university and I was finishing up high school, his second year working away, and our current long distance in opposite cities, we've totaled more than I thought.
According to Google Maps, a calculator, and my memory, we've currently logged about 24,807km (15,414 miles) in our time long distance, all driving. This might skyrocket if he ends up working where he thinks he might after graduation, because it will be over 3,700km (2,300 miles) PER TRIP for a year and a half *shudder*. Not good when you're a student and, obviously, broke because of it!
I have no idea, its about 50 miles for a trip there and back (we're only semi long-distance). But roughly we've seen each other every weekend for 4 years and 4 months. I'd imagine that's a lot of mileage! I know my cars taken a beating, and a lot is spent on gas between the two of us!
Oh goll, I could never do the math.
We live 296 miles apart (one way) for two years, then 110 miles apart (one way) for 3 years, together for one year, and then 85 miles (one way) for the last 3 years. I cannot WAIT to be married and 0 miles apart :-)
For the 3 years we dated/were engaged, we lived 34 miles apart and we likely traveled to see each other 1x per week. So, estimated travel would be 5,304.
One semester, we were in an LDR, and DH came to visit me about 1x a month, at a distance of 78 miles, so 312.
Since July, DH and I have logged 3,170 miles of travel, but I've been the only one traveling to him because he's in the military.
So... to date... we're at 8,786. By the time we move back together, it will likely be pushing 11,000. Once he actually deploys, who knows! He'll be going all over the world. It's too bad these can't be frequent flier miles. 
44,000 at least.
He lived in Buenos Aires, I lived in Miami for six years. :)
Whoa! I don't think we ever calculated it, but for the first 10 or so month, we were 256 miles from each other, one way and we probably did about 3 trips on average each month (both to and from) so we racked up (combined) at least 15,360 miles for most of our relationship. Although, that is just an estimate. Right now we live at the same apartment complex so if you *really* want to calculated that in there, maybe like, 20 miles since august. There there's the short period of time (about a month or so) over summer where I practically lived with him because I wanted to get used to the area and also I didn't really even have a place to live. But part of that we went to his parent's house, so all in all right now, about 15, 560 miles spent.
And soon, he might move end of the school year when he graduates while I'll still have a semester left and might move to a different place than him! Ah!
I'm just glad for sdr right now!
I was in grad school for a year and a half and my SO drove every weekend to visit me. 450 miles each way and two cars later (he burned one out doing it) he put on about 46,800 miles between the 2 cars. The second alone had over 26,000 miles in 7 months. I don't even want to think about the amount of gas money he spent.
By June, it will be around 18,000 miles for 3 round trips across the US. Baha. I just did 6,000 last week. We only get to see each other every 3 months or so, but I'm either moving there this summer for Grad school or we'll have to figure something out.
well well for the first 6 months we lives only a city apart then i enlisted into the air force and lived in san antonio for 7 months while he was in southern cali.... we saw eachother 4 or 5 times.... (he actually took a bus from san antonio to indio!!!)... now im in las vegas (for the past 5 moths....so its only a 4.5 hr drive see eachother every 2 weeks.... and im getting startioned in maryland in the beginning of july.... and we will be long distance for either 3 months or 10 months depending if he wants to coach another season of boys varsity basketball.... uugghh i should of bought a milage credit card a LONG time ago or right now lol...
300 miles-- I drive up every other week (though sometimes SO drives down.)
did a rough estimate of our math-- approximately 10,000 miles traveled so far.
This post got me thinking... the fiance and I have been long distance from the get-go (yay military!). I have traveled nearly 29,300mi in the span of a year and a half just myself to see him by car (when he was only 3.5 hours away) and by air (now that he is across the country). We have approixmately 2,900miles between us, and soon we will have an entire ocean when he gets deployed. The things we do for love huh?
I worked ours out to be approximately 7,392 miles in the first year and a half then we started living together lol
According to Google maps, if I drove there (lol) it would be
We are at approximately 25k for 2.5 years... Good lord I will be so happy to get married and not have to make that drive. We have lived between 1.5 and 4 hours apart for the whole time...
We dated for only a year and a half before we got married, but in that time he lived in the Netherlands and I lived in California, USA. We met in Iceland, then he came to visit me in CA, then I visited him in the Netherlands, then he came back to CA, and I went back to the Netherlands, we got engaged, started immigration processes, I went back to the Netherlands and brought him home with me.
Total mileage came to 72,528! And of course it's not fully over since his family is in the Netherlands, we added another 11000 miles visiting his family in September and will continue to add as we go visit them from time to time. :)
Our distance: 7898miles
And together we've travelled 79000 miles to see each other so far....

Discovered the other day that by the time we get married me and my man will have clocked up 40950 miles at least!
This is from four trips and my moving journey in the space of one year.
I will have done 25000 miles myself, roughly the circumference of the earth!
whats your mileage? how far apart are you?
