I'm currently in a long distance relationship -- 2 1/2 hour flight away -- with another tfper. We chat a lot and I got unlimited long distance so call whenever I can. It is very difficult as we long to touch each other and be together! We travel to see each other whenever possible and enjoy every moment that we are actually "together." I think the distance helps us cherish each other even more. It also opens up a ton of communication!
The focus for me has been to use this opportunity to truly get to know each other on an even deeper level. Because we are not "hanging out" on a regular basis, our phone conversations become an opportunity to share our deepest thoughts, feelings and aspirations. We are able to use this time to set goals and to figure out the best way to support one another. Although we long to be with each other, we know that there are good reasons (his education and my job) for us to be apart right now and that this distance can be viewed as an opportunity rather than a hindrance. Focusing on the positive is very helpful.
Also, we have damn good phone sex! What a great chance to share fantasies! (And later to make them come true!)
Best of luck to both of you!
