I don't believe it is ever sustainable for a multitude of reasons.
Just imagine if you have kids, how would that even work and how expensive would those bus/train/boat/plane tickets even be over the course of a year? Not to mention the stress the kid has to go through just travelling the distance. Sure the kid can live with one parent but that just isn't fair towards the kid who only gets half the parenting it needs.
Sure it can be long distance in the beginning, but sooner or later someone has to move or the fire will most likely fade.
I'd take a shot in the dark here and proclaim that we aren't mentally evolved to handle it, it's unexplored territory. We haven't had time to adapt to it and probably never will considering it isn't the norm but rather the exception.
This is however only my opinion so take it with a grain of salt!
If it's the only possibility then it might be worth a try.
