Long distance relationships are very hard as there is no physical contact. Me and my late husband had a long distance relationship for almost 2 years. I did not have a computer at that time, so we would talk on the phone for hours.

Ralph, but isn't wonderful to know that there is a person, yes, very far away, who is thinking of you and who misses you as well. Life is so much better when you have that person in your life.

You're right it is very nice to have a special person in my life. He helps me cope with my ADHD type symptoms (helping me stay on task, navigating with me so I don't get lost, etc) so I am often lost without him. I know I should focus on the positives but right now I miss being able to hug him and go places and do things together. All my other friends are in couples so I feel weird being the only one without a mate around.
