LDR's anyone..mostly fab, but sometimes, so unfulfilling..

[freedom567]

Quick back ground
Separated Dec 2012, after trying twice to 'save the marriage', divorced Aug 2013, marital home sale (finally) June 2014.
Met new doh online september 2013, and it's fab - most of the time.

The age old scenario of a long distance relationship and whatever next.

we live 70 miles apart, and cope with it just fine.

He has been separated for 4 years, he still lives in marital home, which has just been sold, and the divorce is nearly finalised (he's been divorcing for 2 years - I've seen the papers!). He will be moving to a flat (whilst his stbx is in a huge house down the road...enough said, she is forcing the sale of the house, he can't afford to buy her out). He splits childcare with his stbx and

We are great together, a great team, and say so. We are very supportive of each other, and have a relationship that I'm sure most would be jealous of.

I hat the lows between the highs. We both have busnesses to run which means there is no quick fix of moving in together, and because he is going through everything right now I don't want to put pressure on by asking what he thinks about our timeframe - I don't want to be LDR for years, I want what others have - the touch of a loved one every night.

I know i'm being a woeful - hey it's 3rd week pms and normally the lowest point of my cycle. Next week positivity, thankfulness and happy thoughts will return, I just miss him so much when we aren't together, and don't want to be a sad tearful partner, so thought I'd pour my stupid lonely moment out on here....x

hmm i had a lovely LDR a few years ago, me in yorkshire, her on south coast. Sadly i found the times apart increasingly depressing and no obvious resolution in sight. needless to say it ended.

On the plus side. 70 miles is more manageable in looking forward somewhere in the middle could be a compromise?

Im in a LDR and have been for 18 months. Recently my DP moved from 40 to 150 miles away! We skype and WhatsApp. How often do you see each other? Dont you find you savor every single moment you're together and get back to the mundane stuff while apart? You need a good network of friends, who agree that when your DP is visiting they don't expect you to be in touch with them. It is hard though, and there are times when you'd love a hug, there are other times you should be quite grateful you can have hairy legs and nobody cares. So make the most of what you've got

Thanks gtfoot...hopefully...friends of mine (been together for 30years now) did 4years in ldr at 70 miles...what will be will be, sorry yours didn't last, hope you found a more local someone special
