Long distance relationships are incredibly difficult, but Emily is obviously in a financially privileged position where she can afford to go and fly to see him much more than the usual couple with full time careers. So she also has the time.
But even with her privilege in the situation, eventually it will be tiresome. I think she still sees visiting LA as a novelty but once she has exhausted shopping and waiting on James there, it won’t seem like a holiday anymore and reality will set in that this is going to be her life unless one of them make the sacrifice to move and neither are going to obviously....
But let’s face it, what 22 year old girl ever ends up with the 36 year old man long-term anyway?
Judging from comments here about James’ precious girlfriends, he enjoys young women and then dumps them after a couple of years and gets another young one.
She’s always been naive and too giving. Wouldn’t know what hard to get meant if it hit her in the face with a frying pan!!
