Respect is the key to my relationship: Lena Dunham

"Girls" star Lena Dunham thinks respect is the key to her relationship with Jack Antonoff.

Dunham, who has been dating the musician for almost four years, doesn't think they'd be together if she wasn't a huge fan of both of his bands Fun. and Bleachers, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She said: "I couldn't be with someone whose work I didn't respect. I would be so resentful about him being on the road if I didn't think, 'You being out there is bringing joy to people at your shows.' You have to go, 'My relationship makes everything else possible because it's love.' "

But the 29-year-old admits she finds it difficult to be apart from Jack a lot due to their hectic schedules.

"Whenever people ask, 'What's the secret to a long-distance relationship?,' I'm like, 'It's hard.' That's why it's really important that we share a home because you see the person's stuff, and you're like, 'Okay, you're coming back here.'" she said.
