Love and Marriage
In December I will have been together with D for 3 years, offically making it the longest sexual/romantic relationship in my life. I lay it down to the fact that we are not in each others company day in and day out. In three years we have spent about 9 months physically together. The distance has made for some interesting times. When together it is very intense, short times that we try to cram lots of "normal" things into and when apart it goes back to an almost old fashioned romance where we must talk to each other and bring each other into our respective worlds through our words. Come May we will have been married for one year and out of those 52 weeks I will have spent 8 weeks in the company of my husband. At this rate it will take 6.5 years for me to have spent one year in his company. Does this mean I get to be a newlywed for 6.5 years? Does the seven year itch come after just 7 years married or 7 years together or 7 years in each others company?

the longer together the better it gets
Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage, go together like a horse and carriage...you can't have one without the other.
Al and Peg Bundy have nothing on you and D.
I for one am a very firm believer in the members of a partnership having their own lives. M and I spent from 1999 to 2004 basically doing long distance and I don't regret it. Of course it's all I know but still, it has its redeeming qualities in that it makes the partnership very strong
Im certainly reluctant to change the way things are. I like our time apart, In a perfect world I would see him half the time. Maybe thats what it will be like when I move to England and he works away all week.
