I have been lurking here for over a month now. I thought I would join in the fun and say hello to officially break the ice.
Just to give some background. My name is Micah. I live in Iowa. I am in a long distance relationship with a man who lives in Wyoming, which is about a 10 hour car ride away from me. We attended the same high school growing up. I was a freshman and he was a senior, but we never pursued a relationship back then. Although, I did have a crush on him, but he turned me down due to my age! His mom and my mom are very close friends, so in my early 20's we became email pen pals. Our mothers encouraged us to keep in touch, secretly hoping we would start a romance, but due to our ages and priorities, it didn't exceed past emails. Shortly after that, at the young age of 21, I met my first husband, we had 2 children together, so he and I lost touch. He got married as well, life just went on, but we both ended up divorcing our respective spouses. In late May of 2010, he joined Facebook. I added him as a friend and we started sending each other private messages through there. After a few days, he asked for my cell phone number and we proceeded to text constantly throughout the day. In mid-June, he was in the area visiting his parents, and we met up. We have been together ever since, and have seen each other consistently every 2-3 weeks since. Although, that will be changing to a longer time frame after this next visit, due to his schedule.
This relationship has been hard for me because I am currently unemployed and have way too much time on my hands, so I just desire more contact than he can give. He works in law enforcement, has crazy hours, and is always super busy. I find myself with a lot of idle time, and this forum has sort of helped me get by and a way to distract myself. I would like to try to start contributing here, so I figured I should introduce myself first. I figured it was a good place to get support since there are some times where I feel like I could go absolutely crazy!
