I am dreaming of the day when me and my boyfriend can finally close the distance between us. I hate only getting to see him once a month. It's so frustrating... sexually and mentally.
+1 yI wasn't sure how to interpret "close the distance". But if you'll forgive a sexual one, I was close friends with my wife for very close to an entire year before we started dating.
So when things came together on our date I was able to remove her clothes, I was excited in ways I never thought I ever could be since I never took that much time to remove a woman's clothes after hanging out.
It was like a year-long tease. And everything I saw, felt, smelled even if you'll forgive a crude thing, was so exciting. I was so excited. This took over a year to set up. And that I could see my former best friend in this new sexual way was one of the most exciting transitions I've ever experienced.

It's like seeing Jessica Alba completely naked after watching all her movies and hoping she gets naked one time, and she never does, and now she's with you and you're removing her clothes. It's the best thing ever!
I got hot exes before but we didn't take that long. I didn't get to build the excitement up that much. - +1 y
I'll take it. That's one form of "closing the distance."

And I bet it was so exciting! We didn't have sex for almost a year before actually having sex and the excitement was everything.

It was very beautiful. Actually I kind of want to do now with my wife. She's sleeping but every time I think about that first time, it was so amazing. It wasn't amazing like in a pornographic way. It was even kind of awkward and we laughed a lot. It was amazing like I was so excited that this is actually happening.
- +1 y
Even a little bit of ego there if you'll forgive me like, damn, I can't believe I made this happen. I'm the king of the entire world! I got what I wanted more than I ever wanted right now, this is actually happening!

You know those rare moments where you ask, "How did I get myself in this situation?" in the best possible way? Like you can't believe things are going this well. It seems surreal. You keep expecting to wake up from a dream. That was the first time for me with my wife.
- +1 y
That's how I felt with my boyfriend for the first time and vice versa. He couldn't believe he was with me and I him.

It's the best thing ever, and I think you should never forget it and you'll never lose interest in each other, even after grey hairs and all. I've been married for over 14 years now with my wife and we've been together even longer. We got married both close to 30 (she's only 4 months younger than me). And we've changed a bit physically.
We've both gotten a bit wider in mysterious ways absent any obvious gains in body fat. I think it looks good on us. Dark hairs become silver hairs. Temporary lines formed by laughter become permanent.
But I still see my wife each time and remember that first time. Not just that but all the years we've been together. Laughter over stupid things. Irritating each other. I remember the first time. - +1 y
It truly is! I don't think I could ever forget that night. It was so romantic and one of the best nights of my life. The first time is definitely the most special time to always remember and cherish.
I hope we become like you guys years from now and we will be able to look back on that special first time and just truly take bliss in it! - +1 y
Cheers and I hope it works out well in your case! 🤝 If it starts to go awry, remember what you truly want. Lover's quarrels are usually about people who forget that. They start wanting to be right and prove the other wrong so much that they forget that all they really want is to be understood, and they push each other away. So never forget what you really want.
- +1 y
Thank you for the advice! I certainly won't forget and I will make sure to always have him be heard and understood! Cheers 🤝
- +1 y
Cheers but it's for yourself to be understood and heard though! Actually above all else you should prioritize yourself being understood. But you won't if you get hung up a debate, for example.
You messed something up with my flow. It's not about him. It's about you.
Debates are a dumb by the way between two parties if you didn't already know that. You probably did but just in case, debates are for judges. Two lawyers debating in a courtroom aren't trying to persuade each other, they're trying to persuade the judge. It's a miracle if they even like each other at the end.
So debates between two parties are stupid, counter-persuasive. This is one of the most valuable two-party communication things I ever learned my entire life. So I want to share it with you and your future husband if you didn't already know it.
But you be heard and understood. What's this with him being heard and understood? You be heard and understood. But don't try to prove him wrong. Just share what you're really feeling every time. Connect -- deeply. Mutual understanding. That's the thing. - +1 y
Ok I can do that! And we don't really have arguments or debates really. We're usually always on one accord and if we're not we try to hear the other out. We definitely try to connect deeply and have a mutual understanding.

>> You messed something up with my flow.
I meant this in an endearing way to a new friend. 🤝 I'm really bad over text. But I didn't like that you focused on him over you in your response. He can't know how to make you happy if you don't let him know just the same way you can't know how to make him happy if he doesn't let you know.
So if you want to put anything on a pedestal, put the relationship on a pedestal, not him, not you. And work every single day to develop mutual understanding and love each other for it despite the flaws. - +1 y
Nice! 🤝🤝🤝 I'm sorry for going on a tirade about this. I think you two are set!
- +1 y
That's very true. You are so right. I will definitely do that! Thanks! 🤝

You ever get that feeling after that I put too many exclamation marks into my writing? 😅 I like to amp things up but I think I do it too much. I think I drink too much caffeine. Quit drinking last year but I've been drinking 6+ cups of coffee each day ever since.

Haha I didn't even notice until you said it.

That's a relief!! Argghhh! You know! What! By the way, do you like Mr. Oizo by any chance? His music is so weird but it's good on car trips. Might not be much fun in the beginning if you just keep driving, it has minimal repetition. Each new part has a new sort of twist.
youtu.be/7TDxA1Yp8_8 - +1 y
I tend to irritate my wife a lot changing songs in the middle while driving. Then she's like, "I was enjoying that song!" Me: "Don't worry, you already heard all of it. They're just going to repeat everything you heard in the latter half." But with Mr. Oizo, he keeps changing things up every several measures that I had to listen to the whole thing. And my wife actually really loved that. She's becoming a Mr. Oizo fan now.

No I haven't listened to Mr. Oizo but it's something I can definitely get into!

I think it helps something for some reason: philosophy, philanthropy, poetry, lots of the Ps. Penis. I didn't plan that in advance. It happened typing the sentence.

Apologies for that. That was dumb! I'm always trying to figure out the edges of society. I don't really understand civilization that well. My wife civilizes me a whole lot but it's still a lifelong work-in-progress.

No need to apologize. You're fine. 🙂

I think I'm going to take advantage of your generosity to suggest El Buho. It's really pretty. I think so anyway. You gotta transport yourself in the Andes first. Very beautiful, windy probably, tribes planting and harvesting corn:

Wow the song is very beautiful. Thank you! 😊

Imagine the excitement of preparing for a first date, then multiply it by a thousand—that’s what closing the distance with your long-distance sweetheart feels like. It’s like the universe is finally conspiring to let you lovebomb each other in person, daily. You get to swap those longing texts for real smiles, those voice messages for whispers, and oh, let’s not forget those video calls for actual cuddles. It’s a blend of relief, joy, and a dash of surreal, finally being able to share the same space, breathe the same air. It marks the end of countdowns and the beginning of shared morning coffees, spontaneous outings, and yes, no more frustrating pauses in your sex life. It's mentally liberating and sexually rewarding. So, keep dreaming and planning; your countdown to endless sleepovers is closer than it seems. 😉

+1 yI never made it that far with the one i was in back in 2015. We broke up early 2016.
we are still friends though and someday we will meet up as friends

I'm sorry you guys didn't make it. But glad to see you guys are still friends and will meet up someday. Ldr are hard.
- +1 y
Incredibly so and more power to you for making it work cause I tried one more time in 2022. We were just in the talking phase romantically and it didn’t pan out. Im pretty much done with LDRs at this point. They gotta at least be within a couple hours from me to even consider dating someone now.
- +1 y
Yeah if he was further than 2 hours I don't think I would have been able to do it and now that we're about to close the distance, it has been worth it. I'm hoping by the end of the summer I move down there where he lives. But definitely by the end of the year if it doesn't pan out during the end of the summer.

My lease and lack of funds to move down but I'm supposed to come into money very soon to move down there to be with him.

+1 ySo why are you resorting to ldr. Typically only losers do that
04 Reply- +1 y
We met in college. So it's not a typical ldr. We used to be a lot closer when I was in college but we didn't get together until recently. I could have been with someone in my area and vice versa but they aren't him. He is the one that stole my heart.
- +1 y
You COULD have
Meaning, you're both losers - +1 y
I don't get how we're both losers for being in a ldr that is barely long distance. We only live 2 hours away and soon will close the distance.

Like i said, BIG, FAT, LOSERS
Have you ever done long distance?
