* The anime version of [[Marmalade Boy]] had this for a while. {{spoiler|It didn't work very well though.}}
* In [[Kodomo no Omocha]], Sana goes on an extended film project out in the woods and is plagued by rumors and [[Yoko Oh No|angry fangirls]] of her colleague who hate her for apparently dating him; later, the prospect of her love interest Hayama going overseas to recuperate from serious injury is enough to send her into a [[Heroic BSOD]], though eventually she comes to terms with it and they are reunited in the [[Distant Finale]].
* [[Les Yay|Subaru and Teana]] fell into this after ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]'' when their personal goals stationed them in different posts. But as Teana told [[Genki Girl|Subaru]] [[Tsundere|in an annoyed tone]] when they reunited in ''[[
* Variant in [[Case Closed]]: Ran thinks that Shinichi has run off to investigate some kind of case, but in truth he's Conan, aged down thanks to plot.
** Also, {{spoiler|Sonoko and her boyfriend Makoto, who's a world-ranked karate practitioner and is always travelling.}}

== Literature ==
* In L.M. Montgomery's ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'' series, Anne and Gilbert carry on one for roughly three years, while he attends medical school and she teaches high school. ''Anne of Windy Poplars'' is composed entirely of Anne's letters to Gilbert while they are separated.
** In ''Rilla of Ingleside'', many of Anne and Gilbert's children carry on long distance relationships during World War I. The one emphasized, obviously, is Rilla's sort-of, unofficial (she's confused) long distance relationship with her childhood friend/crush Ken Ford.
* In ''[[The 39 Clues]]'', Amy Cahill and Evan Tolliver's long-distance relationship (carried on mostly via phone) starts after Amy takes off on a series of missions around the world.
== Live-Action TV ==
* Done to all the married couples on [[Defying Gravity]], what with half of each pairing being in space for six years.
* Ziva had one of these on [[NCIS]] - cue "sympathy" from jealous Tony, as well as comments from an ex-hooker suggesting that Ziva look closer to home. Now, ''who'' could she mean?
* Kathleen and Jeff on the ''[[The Secret Life of the American Teenager]]'' whenever Jeff goes on one of his frequent and extended medical missions to Kenya.
* This trope is petty much the entire point of the show Ny-Lon, which is about a relationship between a girl in New York and a guy in London... which, naturally, leads to a break-up or major fight about how hard long distance relationships are just about every other episode so that one character can dramatically fly across the ocean to re-proclaim there love. Of course, in the end {{spoiler|they break up anyway.}}
* ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' takes this to another level, with multiple characters having left significant others on the other side of the universe. The communication stones make things easier. Camille Wray looks likely to stick with her partner, Sharon. Colonel Young's marriage, on the other hand, is less solid.
* [[The X-Files]] Mulder and Scully carry on a rather clumsily-written version of this trope in the show's final season.
* [[Zoey 101]]: Chase and Zoey attempt this via webcam after {{spoiler|she overhears Chase tell his roommates he's in love with her and they switch places in an attempt to be together}}, but after their video date fails, the come to the conclusion that it wont' work and resolve to try it for real when they're together again.
* [[CSI]], post season 9. Grissom and Sara are married, but Sara is working at the lab in Vegas, while Grissom travels and researches and lectures.
