I've had one for the last 33 years (2000km). And I'm seeing her tomorrow. Of course we also had to accept other people in our lives. Everything is possible, nothing is easy.

'Interesting'.....

Your profile says 'divorced' - so is the woman you divorced the same woman you've had a relationship for 33 years?

You write:

'Of course we also had to accept other people in our lives.'

Why do you have to accept other people in your lives?

I also note with interest that you have a PhD........... does this mean you have been able to rationalise your relationship with this woman into some 'academic' type pigeon hole?

What do other women you wish to date think about the fact you have an ongoing 33 year relationship; is it a barrier or a help to you 'seeing other people'?

Just curious - not many people seem happy to have what appears to be an open relationship as I believe that most people's concept of an ideal relationship is kinda exclusive!

You say everything is possible, I say 'You can't have your penny and your bun' - a relationship either works or it doesn't, but you seem stuck in a relationship that doesn't seem to work on a totally satisfactory level (even from your own admission) as if it was neither of you would feel the need for other people in your lives.

As I said, nothing is easy but everything is possible. Yes I was married with someone else (and divorced for very different reasons) but I always loved and maintained a "relationship" with someone else (and vice versa) with highs and lows for all these years. I would have preferred to marry the only one I love and live long and happy forever after. But our histories decided otherwise (don't forget 2000km 30 years ago was huge) and somehow we stayed in love. That's all.

No, I don't need my PhD to rationalize it. There is strictly nothing rational about it. It doesn't make more or less sense to me than to a complete illiterate person (by the way she is an MD)

Well, as you said nothing is impossible and 2,000 km is nothing these days and maybe after 33 years your love for each other is so strong one of you could maybe take the enormous step of relocating - or plan to when one of you retires!

I'm a flexible kind of guy - my long distance relationship is not out of choice for either of us and will remain long-distance for some time to come, but we intend spending more like six weeks out of eight together in the future rather than the present two weeks out of eight.

I wish you both luck.

GT, in my opinion in today's world, 8 years is kinda long-term..!!...interesting post!
thumbs up

GreenTassels: It is just plain unrealist,- especiall when realising that our life expectancy has doubled in the space of 200 years,- but there have been made no adjustments to accommodate that fact..

I have never managed to have any really long term relationship with a man, the longest lasted 8 years,- but I still dream of having one some day.. but I am willing to accept that tis might not include a complete possessive faithfulness,- and I'd rather discuss these things openly beforehand than have a sudden nasty surprise one day..

In response to: How to have a Long Distance Relationship....



I had a long distance relationship (SPb – Ulan-Ude) for two years. The most of it was phone calls and letters. You meet for few days, have a lot of fun (aware of clock ticking in the background) then again it’s letters and phone calls. You don’t live, you just keep you alive somehow to the next date. You both know that you have to finish this madness, and none of you have strength enough to do that…

15 years ago and 3 moves, I still keep few souvenirs from that time and the letters, that I know I will never be able to re-read…

A long distance relationship is a sad and painful affair indeed… But thank you for the entertaining video nonetheless
