Space.....the final frontier ( Archived) (25)

Sorry, I could not resist.



How are we as men and women ever going to solve the space problem?

How much space do you need?

We want to spend time together, however, time away can strengthen a relationship as well. When we get lonely, we call a friend. When we are in a relationship we have each other or do we ?

How do you ask for space from your partner without hurting feelings especially when the leap from getting some space to keeping your distance is not far ?

I spend hours on the computer doing my work and I cannot have interrputions. I figure he'll spend hours doing his work, wherever that may be.

We'll have to eat meals, of course.

But I figure the rest of the time is going to be spent in bed together.

Problem solved.

I'm involved in a 9.5 year long, Long Distance Relationship

We have been together for one full year now out of the 9.5 years.

Giving space has a whole new meaning for me.

hehe

omgosh.........that is a lot of space and trust as well.

good one.

Hopefully, if the one is sympathetic toward your feeling, too...We cannot try to buffer what another feels, or take away what their reaction will be.
I'm one who must have it. I cannot function without it. Some need less, or more.
Even if no relationship happens as a result, I would hope the other was adult enough to understand that as a freind..

Often times in the past, I have found it difficult to find a happy medium with the other half of the relationship.

One needs more time, the other does not.

One is smothered, the other left out.



I wonder if we will ever get it right?

Functioning without that daily touch is an art.

Loving without the eye contact is pure.

Living without the hugs, the holding hands, the whispers, the tears, the smiles. the anger... is a path that only the strong can survive.

Trust is imparative

Staying sane = Communication!

It's funny you should post this just now. I was just telling Tabby how I've been living alone for so many years that I'm not sure what it would be like having someone around 24/8. (Eight Days A Week © Beetles)

I seriously need an extremely eccentric woman. For all intents and purposes she would probably qualify as being mentally ill by most psychiatrists. But to me she would be the only sane woman around.

I would need a woman who can lose herself in projects of her own. It doesn't really matter what those projects are. Whatever she likes to do. It could be painting, writing, sewing, talking to herself in the corner. Basically anything. Just as long as she isn't acting like a normal woman we'll be fine.

On the other hand, if I had to live with a normal woman I think I'd be lucky if I could put up with her for a full week.

I'm thinking about taking a trip around the country visiting mental hospitals to see what they have in stock. Maybe I could relieve them of a patient. I'd bring her home with me and take real good care of her.
