ORIGINAL: MistressDarkArt

I had a (mostly) long-distance relationship with my ex-husband. He lived on his 'boat' (the Enterprise) and I on mine at sea or in different ports about 65% of the time. This was light years ago before cell phones (for the masses), email, skype, etc. There were some pretty romantic moments. When I saw the E coming through the Golden Gate and I'd sail out to meet him and run alongside the huge carrier. I'd tie up at a public dock near the naval station about the time he was finally free to disembark. He'd hop aboard Zephyr with his sea bag and we'd sail to Angel Island for some reconnect time, then over Raccoon Strait to Sam's for brunch in Tiburon the next morning.

That made me say, "awwww."

While I like my alone time and so does Master, we've talked about living together in the future. I admit it is something I miss but it's been over 15 years since I've lived with anyone other than my daughter. It's something I would like to do again though. Even though we only live 3 miles apart and see each other almost every single day, it would still be nice to know I'm coming home to him and I could do more for him.

Some days the 207 km that are between us seems very far, like tonight...

Being able to call, email and group text about the every day stuff makes me feel close. Like today when Alandra was talking about what groceries are needed, it felt good to be able to add to the list because I had just been there. It sounds simple but it made me feel part of the family. I'm grateful that our work and lives make it somewhat easier to be able to at the drop of a hat just drive up there and surprise them or if I'm feeling particularly lonely. I know we will make it work because we are committed to making it work and to be there for each other and support each other as the need arises.

Guessing it depends on why you have the LDR and what your expectations are,
In my position, I get to see mine every 3 months or so, usually for a week at a time. we talk daily, on the phone, text and vid.
Neither of us are in a position to relocate, and are married to other people with no desire to split up.
People may not take it seriously but we have been doing it for 15 years, altho its only been 12 since we actually met.
I like it, he likes it, both spouses are on board...its taken a LOT of discussion/decisions/compromise and misunderstandings, mostly being aware of reality.
I get that tingly excited feeling taking a break from every day life and spending time together...
It certainly wouldnt work for the majority of people, but Im enjoying the hell out of it
