New LDR and New Member
Hi there,
My name is Colleen and I am new to this forum and have just started a LDR. In my case we are about an hour and a half away from each other. Our situation is a little different because I don't know if there will ever be a time when we are not in a LDR anymore. He has to move around a lot for his job and usually lives wherever he is working. Depending on how far away he is I don't know how often I will see him. He also has a very dangerous job climbing and walking around on girders and repelling down elevator shafts. To top it all off he has been applying for a few years to go crab fishing in the bearing sea and it looks like he may get the chance to do it this time. This would mean he will be gone for about 8 weeks with absolutely no contact at all. I know that this is something that is a once in a lifetime chance for him and would not want him to miss out on it because of me. However I think that 8 weeks with no contact will make me absolutely crazy. When we are together I don't want to leave his arms at all. I know that this is partly because this is all new and we are just starting out in our relationship. The other part is because I know that I only have a few days and he will be gone again for another week or two. I find myself feeling very needy and wanting to make more of a connection when we are apart. I guess that's how I came upon this website. I am still wrestling with my emotions and wondering if I am really cut out for this type of relationship. I guess only time will tell.
