Hello everyone. I might be the oldest person in these forums, but I'm glad I found this site.
I'm Tracy and I'm a 47 yo female who has been in an LDR w/ a 60 yo man who lives about 200 miles away from me. We originally met when I was 18 and he was 30 when we worked for the same company. Unfortunately, even though we were attracted to each other, he was married and we could only be friends. He evenutally left the company, as did I and I got involved in a other relationships over the years and our contact diminished. He did manage to try and contact me a few times over the years and nothing came of it. But this past June, he contacted me on Facebook and we struck up conversations by phone. I had invited him to join me for dinner while I was attending a meeting near his home town. He came up and the floodgates of emotions broke open. It was obvious we stil have the same attraction for each other after all these years. Time hasn't erased those feelings. So we both chose to embark on a relationship with each other, even though it would be a LDR.
Anyway, I have never been in a LDR before and I'm still trying to find my way. The challenge for us is that he's been unemployed for quite a while. I was surprised that he chose to venture into the relationship, since he was unemployed when we reestablished contact.
I hope I can articulate my concerns and thoughts in these forums with the hope of getting some advice and suggestions regarding my LDR.
Thanks for listenting.
Tracy
