long distance relationship after 50 karen 2007 Jun 24 06:26 PM

I have known my SO for over 37 years now. We were b/f g/f in high school and drifted apart both marrying different people. Mine failed long before his did, he actually made it for 24 years. I on the other hand did not and was married more than once. I always thought about him over the years and finally found him online and we started writing to each other. We were going to meet about a year ago and other life circumstances got in the way. We did finally reconnect about a month ago and it was great. We are in love profoundly. We talk everyday and email and text like we are still in high school. It is fun, but it is frustrating beyond words. I work for a large corporation in Oregon and he works in Washington state. We are only about 8 hours from each other but we have schedules that prevent us from just picking up and taking off whenever we feel the urge. He said that he is coming here and that in about 2 to 3 months that he will be moved here. In the meantime I feel that the waiting is sometimes unbearable. The bottom line, if the relationship is going to work, we have to have more "together" time...one on one and intimacy in time doing things and going places as a couple. Why have someone in your life romantically if you cannot share all the things that you love? Not looking for advise, just wanting to share. Good luck to all of us!!
