Morgan: There was this place my sister, my brother in law and I went to when we were still in good terms. It was an all you could eat sushi place in the valley. I know that sounds unseemly given how (thinking of the most diplomatic language) ... unhygienic most buffets are. This place however was on another level. How it worked was you would get a menu with each type of sushi and their ingredients, you told the waitress which ones you wanted, and the chefs would make it for you. Their area […]

There's a paradox in long-distance relationships: distance makes cultural differences more visible, yet creates space to address them intentionally.

When partners share physical space, communication patterns go unexamined. But miles apart, every interaction requires active choice.

Research suggests structured communication serves couples better than volume alone. The systems built during distance often become skills that persist after reunion.

I've had to turn away two people because of distance lately. I don't think people realize how tough distance can make a relationship.

One of them was talking about my 40 minutes limit and how he might be able to make it. He was also talking about taking the metro. I revealed to him that taking the metro would take 2 hours total!

Lat time I had someone do this, they went into shutdown, and I never saw them again. I'm not looking for a repeat.

Yesterday I had my shortest date yet with Slow Lori. She had spent 3 weeks up north with one of her partners, dancing, skiing and holding a dance course.
Driving back down south she could take the detour to spend a long lunch with me. 💖
We had a really lovely three hours with sex, talking and eating 💖
I have missed her touch very much lately so being together was balm for my soul 💖
I don't understand how Slow Lori has the energy to spend the whole day driving but I am so, so grateful for it 💝

Today Slow Lori drove home from her long distance relationship partner. So we talked for over an hour while she was driving.
One of the first topics was the news that Slow Lori and another more low intensity partner had broken up after having a hard time communicating during the week. It has almost happened a few times before but now it felt "final".
But the break up freed up a March weekend in Slow Loris calender that we quickly booked for her to come visit me instead just after I have moved 💖
There is a swedish saying that works well here "Inget ont som inte har nått gott med sig."

My last night of this trip in @jsbilsbrough’s place. Tomorrow we go to London to stay in a hotel. As I’m reminding myself it is just until the next trip. And we are using the word Lifetime to remind ourselves that we have a lifetime ahead of us.

#LongDistanceRelationships aren’t easy, but so worth it. I just don’t like this part of it.

No matter what people say, long distance relationships DO work. I just got off a call with @jsbilsbrough.

LDRs are hard work, and there are definitely days I cry being away from my fiance, but please know they DO work. It takes a lot of communication and a lot of patience on both sides. But don’t deny yourself the greatest partner(s) ever just because of long distance.

James is the best thing to ever happen to my life.

Years ago someone suggested setting aside one evening a month as a date night. That has been one of my major highlights each month as it’s a time that is just for the two of us.

We schedule it in our calendars and don’t let anything else get added in that time. Tonight was our February date-night and I had an amazing time.
