Can't take it back
Poll:
How many people have left voice messages or e-mails for someone else that could potentially change the entire relationship? Was it a good idea in retrospect?
my answer: Yesterday, I laid out in e-mail what I couldn't articulate on Saturday night. Stomach clenched for the rest of the day until I got a reply, which helped things considerably. Six years ago, I drunkenly e-mailed the words "I love you" to someone. Big mistake, partially because that act led to a relationship, and partially because I didn't mean it.
Alternate poll question:
Does anyone know of a long distance relationship that's worked?
my answer: Several, but the key to each was that the long distance was understood by both parties to be a temporary thing. Two I know of right now are in the "prepare to move closer to one another but haven't done it yet" stage. (Immigration is a pain in the ass.) I've been in one, and it was a very bad idea.
Just curious....
