4. But My Husband Is In Guam All Next Week...

So potentially, you're in better shape than I am.

Anyway... Right now, he's halfway to Norita (Narita?) Japan. Then onward to Guam.

I hate it when he flys. It's bad enough when he's gone... but I just HATE knowing that he's in-between destinations.

7. Mine's going home to take care of mom this weekend

Maybe we can pick back up swapping "true-life" stories by pm?

[Pithlet]

17. It's hard.

My husband doesn't have to travel much anymore, thankfully, but I always hate it when he does.

I hope this week goes by fast for you :)

18. Sorry to hear that., Allen.

But Mike will be back before you know it.

Meanwhile, there's DU. Not QUITE the same thing, of course...

5. The horrors

How will you ever survive?

Considering my sweetie is hundreds of miles away no end in sight until Memorial Day and I haven't seen him since the beginning of April, I can't say I feel your pain because I've well exceeded that threshold weeks ago.

So, why the celibacy and how long do you think it will be?

BTW, is this a sex thread? <looks around furtively>

[arwalden]

6. No... This Is Not A Sex Thread. It's A Non-Sex Thread.

And there are no rules against non-sex threads. Are there?

-- Allen

[prolesunited]

8. LOL!

You definitely have a point. ;-)

[LynneSin]

9. I first read this thread and thought you meant ELEVEN YEARS

and you were going to get major pity from me.

Heck, it's been 11 months - so stop yer yapping!!!

[arwalden]

10. Fiziwig has a thread bragging? complaining? about 11 YEARS...

If you need someone to feel sorry for (proud of?) then you can drop by that thread and celebrate (mourn?)

11. One month here.

Doug being 416 miles away STINKS.

[arwalden]

12. Is He Canadian? Or A Dual National? Or An American Living Abroad?

Long distance relationships suck! (But not in the good way.)

-- Allen

[terrya]

13. Canadian.

Born and raised (he's orignally from Regina, Saskatchewan). Lives in Toronto.

Doug has said he wants to marry me. Not just for love, but it's a way for me to move up there and live.

I just can't do it financially right now.

[arwalden]

15. Well... you could have your credit history wiped clean... yes?

And Canadian money doesn't stink. American money, the green stuff... it's like it's designed to absorb sweat.

Canadian people are very kind and courteous.

-- Allen

Although, I'd have difficulty with the longer and harsher winters. But, on the good side, that means LONGER NIGHTS and MORE CUDDLING to keep warm.

[terrya]

16. I suppose I could.And I like Canada's money.

It's NOT monochromatic...rather pretty, actually (blues and pinks as well as green). And they have the right idea with $1 and $2 coins (the "loonie" and "toonie" respectfully)

Canadian people are the BEST. Very nice and courteous.

The winters aren't that much different than down here in Chicago. But, when it gets cold...Dougie is the BEST snuggler (and he has other ways of keeping us warm. Sex post...:-)

When we visited Mom the last time he was here, he told her his intention of marrying me. I beamed. It's so nice to be in love.

14. It's been 9 years for me

I haven't really been trying, but it's not like I don't want it. I do the five finger shuffle quite often. I guess I just don't like the possible attatchment that comes along with sex. I prefer to be single. The last time I had sex, the woman thought it was supposed to be something more than it was. I felt really shitty about have to tell her different. And it wasn't like I said anything to lead her to believe that. She just assumed.
