I met this girl online, she lives in NY… She came to see me in Paris and now we’re officially dating.

We spent two wonderful weeks together, she discovered Paris with me and then we went to the south of France. Now she’s back in NY and I feel empty.

Now you have to negotiate the difficulty of a long distance relationship, or one of you moves or the decision I took when I had to work in the USA. I commuted back and forth most weekends

@OldBrit Yup. Even economically it’s a difficulty. Flights to the US aren’t cheap but we’ll make it work. In a few years, she can move to me or I can move to her.

@Strawb I was lucky I could afford it and my company very understanding too allowing me to claim business trips that arguably I could have done a different way etc.

Congrat!

Yeh, but you have the intertubes!

Though the separation heartache is fun.

Hey, plan for more, right?

Strawb · 26-30, F

@PhaqueYou No, it’s not fun. It’s awful and sad. We both can’t stop crying lmfaooo, pussies 🙄

@Strawb the different kinda fun ya grow to....

Endure.

I remember when I first got to know my lj ( my now decreased wife) it was hell.... the being apart.

She laughed and emphasized, "think of it like waiting for xmas".....

Oy, I had trouble not "opening" beforehand each xmas.

Thank the gods we had the intertubes, then it was email & irc chat.... and the phone.

Each time I got to be w/was better than any xmas!

If you 2 can stay connected.... ???
Bliss.

Yeh, it's hell! The heart aches fonder w/abscense.

Be joyous!!!
