Thanks ES. I'm trying my best to not let it affect me, but it's hard. I'll just have to keep busy until we can make it official. I'm just starting to feel like there's no point in hoping, and once I get to that point, I'm not going to want to discuss it at all if it's really not going to happen. I know this isn't right, and it doesn't help our relationship. So, keep your fingers crossed that M and I come through it ok.

That kind of self-preservation thinking makes sense, though. If you don't think it, you don't hope so much for it, so you can't get hurt. Natural reaction. Keep communicating, even when you just don't want to do it. If it's meant to work out, then it will, and you don't want to shoot yourself in the foot by locking up. (Advice I have to remind myself of all the time.)

Good luck getting back on track!

It is a very hard thing to get over. Every time plans fall through I get very self distructive, and this last time I even lashed out and did some things that were potentially relationship distructive actions.

Funny enough what helped me through it was hearing how much it hurt him to disapoint me, and then hearing how much I disapointed him by acting out. Again, I am very much a service oriented pyl so anything that disapoints him distroys my world.

I finally had to decide something simular to you though. It was just too much disapointment to hope for trips twice a year when they never came, so I made an agreement with him. I'm putting all my chips on this trip we have planed in October, and if I get to go in March then that's great, but I'm not counting on it. And he knows that if for some reason I don't get to go in October there is going to be some major fall out that he's prepared to deal with.

Above all, we talk, and talk and talk. He knows how I'm going to react to something before it even happens because we talk so much. I don't think we would have survived so long if we didn't have such open lines of comunication.

Well flights are still creeping up in price and now I have some unexpected bills coming in. And Aire Lingus is really pissing me off. They keep posting these amazing flight rates on expedia and when I go to book, they have issues with varifying the price.

So I don't have the money to book my flight right away now. And being sick has put me way behind on my costumes so I don't have that money coming in right now either. I do have a vacation coming up next month and that will help me catch way up and just in time for the start of fair season.

I know we can make this happen. I've seen how productive I can be with my costumes so I know I can get lots done and I'm still ahead of the season, I'm just starting to get into panick mode a bit. I want this trip so badly, but his situation hasn't changed much so I feel the pressure to up my efforts. The pressure isn't from him at all, it's all me, and I know that I shouldn't do this to myself but the idea of post poning another trip....well I just can't bare to even think about it.

Yay! I'm so happy that this forum is here, and that I'm able to be a part of it. It helps me immensely to know that I'm not alone in my struggles, and in dealing with a LDR. Your stories and your advice is much appreciated, and I thank you.

Wenchie, I hope that you're able to purchase your ticket soon for a great price. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

M and I are in the midst of talking about our feelings associated with not being able to meet. He understands my sadness, and he's doing his best to comfort me and make sure that I'm ok. But I'm not at the point yet where I can discuss the possibility of another meeting. I'd be crushed if it didn't happen again.

 

[KoPilot]

Here's another one for the LDR boat.

As someone who's been in two (the first I don't like to count because he never made any effort to meet up with me, despite the big talk), so I can seriously sympathize with all of you who are going through rough times with it... It's hard, but it's worth it!

The next time I see my guy, it'll have been 10 months since the last time we were together, and as we're heading into the 8th month, it's really starting to hurt. It's really something how all of the little things that normal couples take for granted mean the world to you when you only get them a few times a year.

It's a bit scary for me, though, as I'm looking to move from the States to Canada to be with him when I'm done with school. We'll be making an appointment with a Canadian consulate when I see him next to see what our options are as far as getting me permanent residency status, and perhaps getting that process underway. I think part of the reason it's scary is the fact that this next step in our relationship feels so natural, despite all of what I'll need to go through to follow through with it.

But I say just hang in there everyone. LDRs have the possibility to be the start of a really great thing.

Thanks. I'm really just getting very antsy to be with him. I'm at the point now where it seems very worth it to drop a grand and travel for a whole day just to spend a night with him and head back home. Like seriously looking good atm.

Take your time when it comes to planing your next trip. I know when ever I plan one, if it falls through, I'm a real bear to be around for a month. I get seriously depressed and I'm just a mess. And it never gets easier, in 5 years it's still hard.

It can be scary looking into moving to a new country, and it's a very long process so prepare yourself for the posibility of a long wait just in case you can't move perminately as soon as you plan. For me, knowing that there is a strong posibility that something won't turn out as planned helps me to deal with it if it does go wrong some where.

Also be aware that Canada isn't one of the 7 countries that has a dual citizenship agreement with the US. That process takes a few years, but is something to be aware of and to consider carefully.

Fortunately Ireland does have a dual citizenship agreement.

The only thing that scares me would be not being able to see my family more than a couple times a year, as I'm very close to them. Well, I guess there's that and the thought that should the immigration process take longer than expected (I'm betting a year or more), then the only way to unofficially move in with him after school would be as a visitor, and that would make me a financial burden to somebody, which is something I would never want.

And yeah, it sounds like a very... arduous process. That's why we're paying a visit to the consulate thus summer. Hopefully we'll be able to get something underway while I go back and finish my last year of school. If he can't sponsor me for permanent resident status for some reason, then I'm willing to go back to school up there for a bit under a student visa (and subsequent student work visa) just to I can get my foot in the door.

Eesh, really? No dual-citizenship? Criminey, US/Canada would seem like a no-brainer for that stuff. But I suppose that's alright... I could go being with PR status, though I know it would eventually get frustrating not being able to vote. And who knows, maybe our road will take us back to the States someday (though he's admitted that the idea of living here scares him, he's not wholly adverse to it).

But right now, my concern is being able to legally live there, haha. If citizenship is in the cards, then I'll have the rest of my life to worry about that.

And hot damn, you lucky sunnuva gun! Ireland, no less! Boy do I want to go there someday...

I'm at this point, too. It seems that every plan we try to make there is some reason why it won't work. Of course, my travel will be much easier and less expensive than for you. I am considering doing it just for the chance of spending a couple of hours with him.

Though I don't think he will like the idea. So I'm not sure what I will do. We really need to do some face-to-face talking very soon. Or perhaps I should change that to I want to do some face-to-face talking. He doesn't have a cam so I never get to see him. He sees me all the time via cam and pictures but I don't get to see his facial expressions as we discuss things.

I'm trying so hard to be patient.

I don't know about the lucky part, other than the fact that he's the most wonderful man and absolutely perfect for me. Ireland has some crazy difficult imigration laws. Basically there are only two ways I'm going to be able to live there for longer than 3 months. One is as a student (which I'm only eligable for for another year) and that will cost about 30k a semester, and I won't be able to work. Or we have to get married, not out of the question but not in the cards just yet.

Planing travel is a major ordeal as well. I have to take an overnight flight which means I usually travel after working a full shift to maximize my time there. Makes for a grumpy wenchie.

But it was absolutely beautiful.

Depending on what part of the US you are in and what part of Canada he's in, I don't think getting to see your family would be too much of an issue. It's all about knowing how to budget and how to plan. People are amazed that I have been to Ireland and plan 2 trips a year (though only one has been completed) on McManager pay. I have my priorities, and travel is very high on that list.

I'm at this point, too. It seems that every plan we try to make there is some reason why it won't work. Of course, my travel will be much easier and less expensive than for you. I am considering doing it just for the chance of spending a couple of hours with him.

Jounar is deffinately not supportive of me traveling to spend a long weekend with him. Especailly since that means I would get there saturday morning and leave Monday morning, if that long. He thinks it's a waste of money, and I can see his point.

But I got the go ahead to book my flight this morning. Just I was warned not to book with Aer Lingus as they are in financial trouble (which is why they have great rates but have issues when I try to book them). And I was told not to book a hotel until the last possible minute because their hotel industry is in trouble and you can stay one night and the next the hotel is gone.

But getting his aproval to book my flight makes me feel a bit more settled down. I think I just needed something to feel a bit more solid. But with out booking with Aer Lingus, it's going to cost me a bit more, so I'm going to have to wait another month before I book. Still, that's better than if I had booked and then they went under.

[BiBunny]

Ok, so we're really not that "distant" (65ish miles apart), but between all our work and being broke and various friends and family who always need us for something, I don't get to see my Owner people very much. At least, not nearly as much as I wish I could.

I'm sad because they wanted me to come over later in the week and stay through the weekend. But my asshole cousin is getting married on Saturday, and his asshole fiancee decided to tell my mother and aunt that we're decorating for the stupid wedding (in addition to the rehearsal dinner) less than two weeks beforehand.

Dumb fucking self-absorbed little bitch. I guess she thinks her wedding will plan itself.

Anyway, I have to go home on Wednesday to help get ready for this thing, so I don't get to see the Owner people. Kitty tells me I should bring them with me as my dates to horrify my mother and scandalize the whole family.

It's really, really tempting....

Maybe I'll get to see them next week or sometime soon. But it still irks me that family members whom I don't care for (and who don't give a rat's ass about me one way or the other) are interfering with my seeing my Owners.

woohoo!

Fantastic news Wenchie...is this for oct?

Really happy for you chick

 

[the captians wench]

YAY!!!!! So exciting!

Sad news about Aer Lingus.... I liked them and used them a good bit.

I know it really sucks! I found out that Aer Lingus flies directly into one of the airports close to me, which was going to save me like $200 and I wouldn't have to worry about switching airlines midway through. So now I have to research more flights and make sure none of them even connect to Aer Lingus. The first time I flew I connected to Aer Lingus in London. That's where my bags got lost.

But I knew they were having mass layoffs, now what workers they have are talking strike. So not a pretty time for the company.

Next door is too far when schedules don't line up correctly.

Most of my cousins are that way. This is a major reason why I don't assosiate with my family much. They all think I'm just a hermit or anti social or something. I flat out told one of them once "no, it's because you people are crazy fucks and I want no part of it". So I see most of them once or twice a year and that's plenty for me.

woohoo!

Fantastic news Wenchie...is this for oct?

Really happy for you chick

Yup, Oct. I'm happy about it. It's still so far away, but this makes it feel more deffinate. He would have told me not to buy my flight at all if he was still having doubts. I think his need for me is starting to effect his rational thinking. I rather like that idea!

 

[Killer_Joe]

I'm interested in knowing more about LDD/sR. I am not entirely sure where I fit in so I'd call myself a 'switch' but my preference is sub. Advice and/or conversation with someone familiar with LDR that is a female DOM would be appreciated.
Thank-You

Permmision to make the reservation is one step closer to reality. Yeah!! I'm happy for you. Would you stay at the same hotel the whole time you are there or do you switch around? How long of a trip are you planning?

I hear ya on this. Daddy and are aren't really that far apart--just about 3 hours. But there is always something that gets in the way. Lately it's been the weather. I love snow but...uggh. Enough is enough.

Between both of our jobs, our spouses, children, his grandchildren, extended family and other responsibilities sometimes it's a wonder we ever get to see each other.

Oof, those are some difficult decisions you'll have to make... best of luck to you with them!

And about how long are your flights? I hope not too far! As for me, he's in Vancouver, and I'm from Southern California, so it's not a long flight, nor comparatively expensive, but it will be difficult to pull 2 trips a year on what I'm predicting will be very measly pay for a while. (First jobs out of school are notoriously depressing.)

I also had to double check what you'd said about dual citizenship, and I do believe you're incorrect. Apparently there are lots of folks that are citizens of both the US and Canada through naturalization and not by birth, though it is tricky business. Still not entirely sure how strict the renunciation rule is for people immigrating to the states, but I know that Americans looking to immigrate to Canada have an easier time.

.

I'm looking into an apartment instead of a hotel actually. But either way we'd be in the same spot the whole time. He doesn't like to move around a lot and once we got settled in he wouldn't want to settle in some where else.

I'll arive Oct 1st and leave Oct 17th. That's twice what my first trip was. Can't. Wait!

About a year now. :]

Ooops. It's been awhile since I looked into it and once I found the information I needed on Ireland everything else was kind of like background noise. But at least that's one less thing to worry about.

I'm in Ohio. So I have to fly to Philly, Chicago, or NY to catch the flight to Ireland. Actual flight time is between 8 and 10 hours. Add in layovers and the extra time I'm sitting in the airport before the first flight in order to make sure I get through security in plenty of time and we're talking total travel time of 16+ hours. My first trip there was 24 hours from the time I left my apartment to the time I was in his arms.

I actually don't mind it going there. I slept almost the entire time. Coming back is very hard and each mile is felt.

sorry i haven't been in for a while, but i have been reading most of what's happening. just nothing much to contribute really.

ms wench
try webjet hun.

i have a plan to visit D in june (trying not to jinx it by getting too excited, in my line of work there are just no gauruntees about time off) and they have consistently the lowest fares. at last check it's 1500 (aus) to get from my nearest airport to D's nearest airport.

and yes, travel is expensive, but since i have no life other than work and my son, it's a little easier to save than for other people. still, wish they had a layby plan or something. it's a bitch saving the money only to find the airfare you thought you could afford is no longer an option. meh. i'll figure it out...

Is that an Aussie site? I can't get it to find flights starting from other part of the world.

I've actually found the perfect flight. It's a bit later in the evening than the flight I was looking at, but I end up in Dublin only an hour after the other flight. Only one layover and that's in Philly, which I'm familure with, and the return flight leaves me back home in the early evening. And it's only about $100 more than the current Aer Lingus flight. But I had an unexpected bill come up so I'm not going to get to book until next pay day. Hopefully it'll still be there. Or better, be cheaper!

I'm single, no dependants so it's very easy for me to save money, especially since I choose to travel than spend my money other places. Once I have my mind set on something, there's not much that will stop me from achiveing it.

Hello all. I've been looking at the forums for quite some time now, and been eager to participate.

Mostly, I've been getting the urge to have someone controlling my sexual needs, and feel more complete. I want to give in to someone's wishes, and do everything I'm asked.

I will be fully honest with the person and try to learn quickly.

I'm quite inexperienced, 18 years old boy, looking for a male partner.

Thank you all

arzat hun - kudos for taking the step mate, but try the personals here on lit for more success.

ms wench - yes webjet is aussie, but it does have an international flight link...not sure exactly how it works. and i once hit a non aussie webjet site...not sure how i managed that...but sounds like you have it sorted anyway.

it's over 22 hours in the air for me to see D. blah...i hate flying. but can't think of a better reason to do it than seeing D.

I think I do anyway, but after being sick I'm having a hard time getting back into the swing of costume making. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things and pick up some extra cash.

I enjoyed flying, the layovers not so much. Especially at Hethrow. OMG is that place huge! I swear it took me a full 45 mins just to get from one gate to the other.
