baby talk
Somehow I have managed to be in a long distance relationship. I don’t know how I’ve managed to do this. I very rarely even accept friend requests on myspace from people that aren’t local.
But here I am. Not only in a long distance relationship, but in a relationship with someone that isn’t even in control of where she lays her head at night.
I am not a woman that must see her girl everyday of the week. I enjoy time alone. I enjoy my privacy. I enjoy not being part of a couple. I think that comes from years of getting lost in relationships and my inability to maintain my true being while being half of a partnership…
But this shit is ridiculous…
It’s date night and I’m alone. She knocked out around 10pm because she’s been up since 4am. I miss her. I won’t see her until the beginning of the month. Is it bad that I’m counting down the days until I have sex? After all, I’ve been celibate for so long now. No, Ann doesn’t count. She’s supposed to have another training in Georgia, but her base is close to the Alabama border. It’s not around the corner, but much more conducive to weekend trips. After that final phase of training, she should get her permanent orders. We’re both hoping that she either remains at the base here in GA or Ft Benning in North Carolina.
We had a conversation about the PS situation today. PS has a woman that she calls her “hersband.” They aren’t together, but they plan to be. They are in love, but they are waiting to become committed. It took the hersband awhile to come around to PS. The Baby says that they sound like us. Interested in hearing our story?
I don’t envy you doing a long distance relationship, I done it for 5 years and it almost killed me.
I couldn’t take the highs when I was with her, and the low low lows when she was away.
Good luck to you, Sally x
Sally, that’s exactly what concerns me. I’m hoping that our relationship will be more like having a partner who travels for a living instead of a real long distance relationship…
course i’m interested.
my gf lives 1000kms away, we see each other once a month on average …
How do you make it work?
I’ll get to writing about me and the Baby
so far – a lot of contact, daily chats online plus nightly phone calls plus trust
hmmm…
and plans to change things eventually
My last thing ~ can’t call it a relationship ~ was long distance. It never really evolved from being a thing because of the distance. I’ve done it in the past and it has never been enough. It was my way of being close and intimate without having to change my day to day routine…without having to make room for another person in a real way. So…
I’ve had a couple long distance relationships and ended them both because of not getting what I want, but that was as much because of the people as the distance, I think. I suspect, though, that if I’d been more in love with either of them it might have been even harder. As much as I love (prefer) being alone, when I’m coupled and in love I can’t seem to get enough. (I think you know I can never get close enough to anyone.)
It was after my last long distance relationship that I realized how much I liked being single, and with that in mind, a long distance relationship began to sound more appealing.
Living way out here, away from everyone, I reckon long distance would be the only way I could go, and I’m intrigued by the thought of all these lessons in letting go having possibly made me someone who could stand not giving 500% and wanting at least 100% in return.
I guess what I’d really want (since even in fantasy you-know-who would drive me crazy) is to have a variety of my sexiest SpaceBabies to float on through for a while, but even this dream is damaged by how much I’m loving you-know-who these days, and how ridiculously monogamously programmed I am.
Damn. Sorry about the rambling!
Yall aren’t giving me much hope! Ideally, this will be temporary until she’s informed of her permanent base. As long as it’s stateside, I’ll move there which will end this whole long distance thing.
Gotta have faith!
