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....

Is that why you were fasting? Poor RT. Did the reply unclench your stomach?
I don't think I've ever left a voicemail or email that I totally regretted. I've had my stomach clench a few times, but not because of something I didn't mean to say and nothing changed the course of a relationship.
I had a long distance relationship about 10 years ago. It didn't work out, but it was a lot of fun (and expensive). I get sick of people easily if they are too close, so maybe that's why it worked well.
My husband and I also lived apart in different cities for a year when we were first married. That went fine as well. A bit of an adjustment when we started living together after, but no big deal.
