I know there are some people out there who think long distance relationships are ok. I can tell you this is not for me. Right now D is in South Carolina and I am stuck in Tennessee. We do talk to each other every day, sometimes two or three times. The thing I miss is having someone to watch TV with, eat with, help let the dogs in and out, laugh and the stupid things people do and just the day to day contact. I guess that people that do well with this type of arrangement have many friends. I thought I had many friends here but I am finding that the list is not long at all. D asked if I had reached out to anyone and I had to say no. I mean it is a full time job working 40 hours, trying to get the house cleaned, take care of animals, pack and purge. When do I have time to reach out. As I said on facebook I am sad that I have lived here for 20 years and yet I feel more alone than i have in my entire life. IT SUCKS!!
