Hi all,

Someone else may have asked this or talked about this already and I missed it so if they did just point me to the thread!
I was wondering how everyone is dealing with long-distance these days? I like basically everyone on the planet is in some form of quarantine or social distancing still and have been many months. I have found that even though me and my toppy/switchy person don’t get to see each other but every like six months as we are long-distance it’s been even harder recently.
We were tentatively planning to see one another in July, but I know it’s not possible now. I’ve found that not having a plan to look forward to has made longing and loneliness stronger. When we miss each other we would often talk about what we were going to do when together again. Now, it hurts to even think about it, because it could be a year now that we get the possibility of meeting again. We’ve talked about it and know we will be together again when it’s not dangerous, but the when is the problem.
So, how is everyone dealing with it? Any suggestions to make it hurt just a little less? Maybe I’m just crazy for feeling this way. I’m sending love to everyone in similar positions to us at the moment. Long-distance sucks. Long-distance sucks, even more, when the distance is necessary.

Oh, and I don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to minimize the seriousness of the situation. I’m not. I just am trying to come to terms with how it’s affected my relationship.
