Long Distance Relationship
Intimacy Device Helps Long-Distance Couples See the Love
No, not that kind of intimacy device; this one has glimmers of science fiction. But if you're in a long-distance relationship, some British researchers want to help you get more intimate with your partner. A new invention, dubbed Mutsugoto, allows couples to "communicate intimacy" by drawing with lights on each other's bodies.
Where Do You Stand? Phone Sex
When you're in a long-distance relationship, face-to-face contact is sometimes hard to come by, which is why couples have to get creative in order to keep the romance alive. And luckily, with so many ways to communicate these days (text, email, iChat, and of course the phone) it's easier than ever to stay connected to your lover. So to all of you who spend time away from your special someone, tell me where you stand when it comes to being intimate over the airwaves.
You Asked: Did I Get Played?
Dear Sugar,
I have been in a long-distance relationship for seven months now. I just went to visit him for a week, and it was the most wonderful time of my life. We each felt as though we were an old married couple already, and we were making plans for me to visit again.
You Asked: He's Taking Me Where He Took His Ex!
Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship. We broke up once or twice, but got back together each time. During the breakups, we did see other people but those relationships never lasted long.
The Benefits of Long Distance
Though I've mentioned the environmental concerns related to a long distance relationship, I know that being able to physically see the person you love is extremely important. Feeling like a major facet of your relationship is out of your control can be very frustrating, and missing someone is always a struggle. Together, these can make long distance relationships difficult, which is probably why they get such a bad reputation.
You Asked: Who Should I Date?
Dear Sugar,
I met a guy recently who I see every week as part of a social running group. We ended up doing a recruitment project together and we hooked up twice. After the second hook-up session, he told me he "kind of" has a girlfriend in an on-again off-again relationship who lives far away.
Relationship Protocol: Does Your LDR Make You Feel Guilty?
For the 37 percent of you who are currently in a long distance relationship, have you ever thought about how your travel to see one another affects the environment? If so, you might feel somewhat guilty about it, but after reading this Slate article, you definitely will! Planes and automobiles wreak havoc on our environment, so when you factor in how often you're seeing each other, you're only adding to our worsening environmental crisis.
You Asked: He Constantly Tells Me I Can Do Better
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my boyfriend for almost two years. It's a long distance relationship and it's not always easy, but he makes me happy. There have been times, though, when he tells me that I could "do better" than him.
DearSugar Needs Your Help: I'm Homesick!
DearSugar and Homesick Hayden need your help. She moved to Canada to be with the man she loves, but is having a hard time adjusting to her new life. She's unable to work until her visa is granted and she feels alienated at home while her boyfriend's gone all day working hard to support them both.
You Asked: Do We Have a Chance?
Dear Sugar,
I met a really great guy about three years ago. He's from another country and was in my city for a couple days because of work. We talked for a while and exchanged emails.
