Is anyone else here in one? My boyfriend and I are and boy, is it tough. We met this past summer while he was working at school and I was finishing up my classes and graduating. He's from Altoona (out near Pittsburgh, PA) and I'm from Philly and living there now working. Now, I'm not one to normally get mushy, but he's the only person I've ever loved and I think he's the one, so I don't want to give up on this, but it's extremely frustrating to love someone and not be able to see them much. I was wondering if there was anyone else on here in the same situation or has been in a similar situation that could give me some suggestions on how to make this easier, etc. It would be greatly appreciated!

As a lot on here, I feel as my brain is just wired wrong. I feel like whenever I've been real bad with anxiety, my only coping mechanisms are either having a few drinks, or sex and masturbating.But then having a climax ONLY to decrease anxiety makes me feel worse sometimes! Like I'm only using it as a crutch to feel ok. So then after I... *release*... I feel kind of weird and awkward about...

I just wanted feedback and maybe Ideas of 3somes. When I was younger I wanted to have a 3some. Basically me and 2 other women. So my wife has been talking about wanting to try it out. Only thing she is worried about is how would it effect us and she would want to do it but wjth someone we would not have to see again after we do it. Any opinions, tips or suggestions?
Now there's a thought !

Unfortunately, last night we broke up. The strain of it all was too much for me, especially the direction my life is going. Thank you again, though.

I guess it is harder because you can't always look into the other person's eyes and/or read body language.
I can read body language within 5000 miles :-)

But I do want to throw my 2 cents into it.
I am deeply in love with Jagiello and will one day be his wife, and that is in spite of the fact that we've never yet met in 'real life'.
We IM as much as possible and cam for a couple of hours every night. Distance and time differences make it a lot more difficult than we would like, but are not even close to being a deal breaker. In fact, nothing is.
We miss each other without even having been together and we feel like we have known each other forever in spite of the fact that we met (in a chat room) about 19 months ago and have been 'together' for only a year.
We would be together right now if it were not for familial obligations on both ends which must first be met.
We're soulmates, which is wonderful beyond words. We feel like 'home' to each other.
So, in my opinion at least, a long distance relationship is definitely possible.
