My T lives within a mile of my home when I first began seeing her. We have since moved 10 miles away.
It was never an issue for either of us.
We would mention news about our small town in passing. But we only once ran into each other in about 3 yrs. She actually explained that should that ever happen she wouldnt approach me or speak with me unless I initiated a conversation.
So she was sensitive to feelings around this.
