I have been in an open long distance relationship with a guy for about 4 years. Now we are 900 miles apart and neither of us will move due to work constraints, he's in a psychedelic rock band and I make glass art and have a lot of work involved in my local artists and finding a sweet studio space with enough electrical juice for my goals, i really cant move. i have become emotionally detached from guy meeting and have had mostly engaged in meaningless sex with a variety of partners. I love the man but I know I can't keep trying to make it work. He has been in town and we are as lovey dovey as ever, he left today and I am pretty damn depressed, as much as I love him I think I need to break it off and try to get my ass in a real monogamous relationship. Does any one have similar experiances?
I have just finished my second lond distance relationship the first was a year. Only you can decide if you want to break up but after 2 bad experiences they are not worth it.
How about a nomadic relationship? Try to focus your local work over a certain period of time and also build up business where he lives? If not, yes I would recommend breaking up. You might still hook up when he comes into town, but it won't be an expectation or need that you have...it will lift the weight by just letting him in casually if/when you want to...or just completely move on and get back together if one of you gets to the point where the distance is annihilated.
Long-distance relationships are bloody hard unless you need sex and affection only every once in a while.
if i get a b/f even only on the net no matter where or how far away it be ok. at least i'd have someone to care about me & not be so lonely
