long distance relationships

[WCsweet<3]

My boyfriend and I were in an LDR for about a year and a half from Oregon to Michigan. One thing that is difficult is to be normal. Don't worry about arguing or being in a fight because this is the only time you get together, otherwise you are being fake.
Web cams are amazing. Skype is also pretty awesome. He moved eventually but now we are about two hours apart. It is a big improvement, but still difficult and annoying.

This is something I don't get about my friends who are in LDRs. In some of their relationships, I feel like they're eternally in the "honeymoon" stage because neither of them wants to get into an argument or bring up difficult issues because "well, this is the only weekend I see him this month."

So it all builds up and whenever they're around each other for longer than a week, they have huge blowups because there's all these things that have built up, but she is always on what I call "date behavior" and doesn't want to bring it up.
