Probably a little different than most but.....
I was living in NE Canada for my work at the time and I had been dating a woman there for about a year and a half when the 'company' told me I had to transfer to the Oregon coast. She didn't want to move away from her folks so our "break-up" was very amicable and we agreed to stay in touch by mail (this was before cell phones). After a year in Oregon, the 'company' transferred me to a remote outpost in the middle of no-where for a years stay. It was a sh*tty location that they had trouble manning, but the good news was that if I agreed to stay there for a year, then they would guarantee that I could go anywhere the company had an opening for my job. So after a year of near isolation, I chose NE Canada (again) and when I flew in she picked me up at the airport and it was like we had never parted. I continued to date her for the next three years and then was transferred to SE Asia. We never got together again after that, but we still check-in with each other occasionally via FB messenger.
