Relationships from Afar
I posted a question on a relationships and dating board asking how to make long-distance relationships a success. I thought I’d share the answers here in case anyone else lives in BFE and mainly does the long-distance thing.
(from a 51 year old woman) You go ahead and get married and spend weekends and holidays and as much time together until it’s possible to be together all the time. There’s a woman here in Utah, a doctor, married to a man in Florida. They insist they are happily married because they don’t have to live with each other…??? Odd, but it works for them. She says it makes it so she is able to concentrate 100% of her efforts on him when they are together.
(from a 62 year old man) LOVE
(from a 57 year old man) You need to see enough of each other to make an evaluation of compatibility. OR, ya just guess and take the chance.
(from a 35 year old woman) Heck if I know…LDR scare me to death!
(from a 49 year old man) Ever been around someone who talks in their sleep? Like - I mean you can carry on conversations back and forth - and then when they’re awake they don’t remember them, including what they committed to? That’s a risk in LDRs… LOL
Okay, so I can’t say that the advice was horribly wonderful, but I did find the reply suggesting a long-distance marriage interesting. How nice would it be to have all of the tax and sex benefits of being married without dealing with sharing a home, conflict resolution, getting yelled at for disciplining a stepchild, etc?
Hm…Something to think about!
