I thought I had this distance thing worked out. I thought I was use to it. This is the third ten week (give or take a week) distance seperation for us, before I see her again, for three weeks in late march. I am not new to this.

things have been pretty darn healthy during all of our seperations. conflicts are very low. stresses very low. the only stressor is just figuring out how we can make 3500 mile distance nothing for good. we talk everyday on skype at least. I am happy with her, to be with her. I find it more fulfilling than a relationship where the girl is in close proximity (I have been in three prior to this).

this has been as good of a relationship as one can be. yes she can nit pick. yes I don't pay attention to detail as much as this virgo moon would like. but we love each other for our faults.

I love this girl.

so why am I sad?

"""I find it more fulfilling than a relationship where the girl is in close proximity (I have been in three prior to this)"""

The distance between you causes a longing, a yearning....

If you were together all the time, this may disappear somewhat...

Do you in part, like the yearning...?

Arent you a Scorpio and she a Taurus?

You're sad because you miss her.

You can dissect your relationship's trials and tribulations when your partner is in the next room.
Likewise, you can feel more distanced even at a close proximity.
I've been loving this relationship you've posted since you started talking about it.
You make a lovely couple, and just imperfect enough to give it a great go!

I am rooting from the sidelines, I can't help it.

Keep loving each other. Nothing is ever perfect, but you know what? The more you live within an experience, the more you can live for those moments when love is just *there* in it's magical unspeakable glory.

I think I remember you saying you were in college, right? Is she also?

Just hang in there until you graduate.

I always thought that if two fixed signs could develop the bond, it would take something pretty incredible to shake it.

Also, I have to be nosey and ask... What did you decide on for the Christmas gift?

I agree with Sue. I'm in a long distance relationship, too, and I rarely get to see my boyfriend (I've only seen him about 16 times (about 8 of them were just lunch visits at my school) since we started dating in May) and it does make it more enjoyable when you're together because you don't see each other for so long.

You're probably sad because you're not with her, although being separate makes your time together more enjoyable. I feel the same way; I miss him a lot, but because I miss him so much I love spending time with him all the more, even if we're not really doing anything when we're together. If it gets so bad that you just HAVE to see her, if it's possible, you could surprise her with a visit. Either way, I hope you can make it through! ^_^

Another one here for Sue. They do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder. When you're together...you take for granted the time you have together...LOL. It's human nature I suppose.

TDS-
I am posting here in a totally different frame of mind than three days ago. I feel better.

Anyways, I keep thinking back to that one moment where we were in each others arms at the airport after two months in august and again in december. Those moments alone make the distance worth it. I also remember the first time we were apart, for just two weeks (a time I sometimes forget). she had just come back from seeing san francisco. she knocked on my door and we just hugged intensly forever. before this, things were uncertian as to weather we would countinue once she left the country. Our meeting that day, is an interesting fated story in fact if anyone is interested, otherwise I won't bore you with the details. but we found our anwser in that hug! we realized a lot, including how much we missed each other. Its one of her favorite memories, just leaping into my arms and hugging for more than an hour.

TDS, that’s a phish song btw isn't it. One of my faves.


Sue:
you are correct and we are stubborn as h-e-l-l though we don't like to admit it in front of each other. Its a running joke for us to say the other is more stubborn. It’s a running joke of our mutual friends as well to say either: a. "I know who is more stubborn but I am not telling" (started by our lovely cancer friend) or b. you two act like such a married couple.

Pixie:
thanks so much for your kind words they made me smile ! when we first met in march that’s how I would describe our time together - magical..well, surreal, than magical.

1scorp:
Thanks so much!
what I got her:
-Five scented candles (apple scented for the lover of apples and a few of my favorites)
-soap, from this soap speciality shop (subtle smell just like she likes)
-calvin and Hobbes comic book (for the kid in her)
-simpsons calander (cause we always cuddle in front of the show)
-extra cuddly teddy bear
-mittens (to match her Tibetan slippers she got with me in September)
-the decemberists cd. (music that we both happen to love (because it doesn't always happen, trust me). and now she gets to go to a decemberists concert soon!
-some earrings that..fit a taurus quite well . she liked them, especially since I remembered that she does not like dangly earrings.
-me coming the day after x-mas and meeting her in Paris

GD121:
sounds like the relationships a mirror of mine. you started in may, we started dating on her b day, April 30 (though things were natural so its hard to place a specific date). I knew she really liked me when she wanted her b day night (21st) to be just the two of us. and she was still there at 4 in the morning and..I just knew. But we have seen each other for maybe 3 months out of the 9 we have been together. though if you asked our mutual friends, its probably been more like 10 months of dating . I agree with what you and everyone else has said. When we are together, it amazing! and now we reach a point where even though we haven't physically been together to long, mentally/emotionally/spiritually we have been in close proximity for 9+ months, so when we see each other, it feels like its been so long physically. so that’s 99.9% good and 0.01 bad because we are use to each other habits already and can get naggy and picky at times.

DL:
That is the first thing my mom said. the first little tid bit of knowledge she had to impart . I agree.

Sounds like you did good.

Thought and feeling was put into it. Good job!

Thanks!

Now I have to remember to ask her how she feels about Vday. I keep remembering that I need to ask her that. But I never remember when I am talking to her.

Personally, weather I am single or in a relationship, I think VD is a crock. I think it tends to cause more problems than happiness. It leaves couples expecting grand gestures and than sets you up for disappointment if everything isn't as planned or expected. Plus, I just don't believe in supporting hallmark and other large corporations. Vday is to corporate. hopefully she doesn't like Vday because every day should be one that you show your deep love! why reserve one day? I'll buy her flowers any other day (when they are cheaper) since I find prices for flowers and cheesy items to be more for expensive for this "special day". Plus I dislike how people get all depressed if they are single or dateless on this day. It causes to much sadness for some when they should just enjoy the day. This holiday adds unneeded pressure for single and taken people alike.

I totally agree with you on the Valentine's Day thingy. But me personally, I swear there's some consumer-scheme out there (especially by the Diamond companies) and that's why its so damn popular...for all the wrong reasons though.


PS. And when I saw you say VD, I thought you meant something else....sorry I couldn't help myself.*giggles*

I agree with yours and Dulce's V-Day opinions.

I won't buy cards because I've yet to find one that really expresses what I mean. I sort of find them cheesey Plus, I've never been good with words, so the one's that you have to write your own message in, isn't really an option.

However, you're right in asking your Taurus friend what "she" thinks about it. She might get hurt if you ignore it.

As much as my Capricorn friend and I are indifferent towards the Holiday, I'll still use it as an excuse to go out to dinner.

Hey carlfloydfan,
Amen to what you say about Valentine's Day! I'm with someone too but I agree, it's a marketing scam... shame really... but people can still have anniversaries and birthdays to c*ck up on and forget

Your relationship seems really sweet and pretty damned good to me. The distance doesn't matter, like you figured, it can work for you cos that annoying saying of "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" is true. Explains why marriage often begins the decline of a couple
Anyway, yeah I've known this to happen to people. My friend at the moment is dating someone she sees every fortnight (but they are just teenagers so this is relatively quite a feat!) But anywho it makes them more dying to see each other etc... maybe it helps build a better bond the longer you go on like this. Sometimes being sad when nothing is wrong for no particular reason after you've just seen the person happens, probably for the two reasons that a) Love is a mental illness, raises hormones, makes you act crazy etc and b) Goodbyes suck. You could have the best goodbye in the world and actually that would probably make it worse. On the other hand a less than perfect one is crappy too. You can't win.

Ahhh, but you two sound great together. Nice presents ideas btw! Wish I had enough money to buy more than a couple of small things for people haha.
