I wish my heart would let being long distance and poly be as easy as my head thinks it should be.
Fuck.

Long distance is definitely a challenge (I have less experience and, therefore, less to say about the poly stuff).

Oona and I were long-distance for the first six months of our relationship. We cobbled together a workable situation by talking and texting when we felt like it (we both changed our phone plans to make this possible); doing so enabled us to be part of each other's everyday lives. Lots of pictures were exchanged and letters and presents were sent; I actually kind of miss that part of being LD.

We were both busy, as well, and made sure that we were actively engaged in our own lives, a habit we've happily kept up two years (!!!) later. I think that's one of the best parts about starting a relationship this way. We both learned to value our independence at the same time that we solidified our relationship. Doing so definitely cut down on the potential for enmeshment.

And that's it. Oh, yeah... we spent a lot of money traveling between SF and Brooklyn; It was totally worth it.

Anyway, I hope that your heart isn't hurting to much and that that all is well on the East Coast.

Many hearts,
Alison
