how okay are you with

being in a relationship where you don't really get to see or be with each other for months to years due to mainly work arrangements

but there's steady communication and deep, emotional attachment?

Posted by _elle_

I would prefer this.

The past year having to be attached by the hip because covid, I believe, has wrecked my relationship.

I liked being away for months at a time for work. I liked missing him. We appreciated each other more.

Now I can hardly stand sharing the same space at times.

bet it's a trick of the mind

i feel more emotionally-attached when i'm made to exert more effort

Oxymoron in my case. In order to develop said deep emotional attachment I need face to face physical interactions/intimacy.

I discovered this when I dated a military dude who was deployed and saw him a handful of times that year. Never again.

If it was a temporary distance occurring during the established relationship, like they had to move for work, we’d need to have a concrete plan/timeline to get in the same city/under one roof. Stuck in limbo is such a libido killer.

yeah i don't see a pisces going this road

pisces moons yes but not pisces suns

How steady is communication? Texts? Phone calls? Weekly facetime or weekly get together?

I might be one of those rare birds that is okay with distance as long as there's communication and maintained interest.

i feel like capricorn energy can really commit to texts, phones calls and videochats

at first, i was total trash about comms maintenance but i'm a virgo so dark side merc

but i'm cap dom too

Whatever works when we’re in love. I prefer alone time so we can miss each other though. I’ll make it work for true love.

I've had both extremes (months, half a year, but not years). I'm good either way.

Sounds like a great best friend relationship. It wouldn't be sustainable enough for me in a boyfriend/girlfriend way. But if it works for you, then by all means, it's perfect! As long as whatever needs you have are being fulfilled.

It would be too virtual and a never-ending source of frustration for me cause I need touch.

Oh! Sorry! i just saw this was in the Capricorn forum 😄

“Over the years, there have also been several studies showing that distance and absence can make the heart grow fonder of someone. Additional studies have similarly shown that long distance couples can have more in-depth interactions with one another than their counterparts who see each other frequently.”

Couples glued together eventually take each other’s companies for granted. I personally don’t mind a few weeks to a month at a time. But anything more than a couple of months to a year I don’t think I’d be able to handle. I need periodic intimacy and cuddles. Like how can you go to bed lonely with no cuddles for a year?!
