I Believe That Long Distance Relationships Can Work
I do. I've been in one for the best part of 18 months. But there are limits. See, the initial struggles come back to haunt you. Little things you thought were resolved, little niggly things come back and cause problems. You fight because of past events, not ba<x>sed on current thinking. Change is hard.
So, now I work with a lot of drop dead gorgeous women who take care of their appearance. Smart, too. I am missing intimacy. Not just s*x but closeness. Touch. She likes me, I like her. It's dangerous. I feel like a lot of work must be done between my fiancé and I to become stable, at peace, and working productively together being happy. We often see each other's thinking as crazy, and it doesn't fill us with joy very often either. We have already done a sh*t ton of work on that. But there is still so much to do.
So hard. She loves me now more than ever, like infinitely more than ever. And I drift a little. I lose faith because of her lack of conviction for what she's doing, staying away - yet at the same time not coming home.
