Hi LadyDi,

I was in a LDR for a number of years. Me, in the states and him in Eastern Europe. We did get married, but unfortunately, we are now going through a divorce. People change....it happens. It's unfortunate, but we did have a great time together for a number of years.

It's sooooooo hard to be separated....whether it's half a world away or an hour and a half away, it doesn't matter. The best thing I think the two of you can do is to keep in touch via texting and/or emails. Emails are great, because you can have some really wonderful and deep conversations via email. Send each other poems and/or songs that are meaningful to you...share them with each other. To have someone take a few minutes out of their busy day to compose an email and send it really helps you to feel more connected.

Talk on the phone when you can...even if just a 15 minute call right before bed to check in on each other and say goodnight.

I think this is a good way for you to take it more slowly with the fella. Get to know him better and let him get to know you better too. If it is meant to be, no amount of space between you will matter at the end of the day.

Wishing you well!
