I like this topic. We've been through this a bit and I never really quite got the jist until you posted it.
We have three weeks to go on a long distance relationship. In my mind, those three weeks are like torture. But I can't really communicate because I try as hard as I can to replace the feelings with books, etc. So, I get a call in the middle of a great passage... I want to talk, but it's so hard.
I'm a guy.
I grunt and raise eyelids to communicate. grhhgerhhrhrh.
If there was ever a case in which three weeks could evaporate, I would endorse this. I want to be in that natural environment. But it is so hard to keep those conversations going.
