Are your needs being met?

[Onizukachan]

Nope. Being single/divorced kinda does that to ya.

On the other hand, yes. I have a roof over my head, some income, and food.

Which level of Maslow hierarchy are we talking about here? Physiological?
Then yes, for the most part.

I have not been home nor seen the little woman in 2 months........

How do you guys handle that living situation sleeve? Seems like youre always gone. How do you guys keep it together?

It sucks and its not for the faint of heart and mind. We have our moments of why the fuck are we doing this, but we have a mutual trust. I dont care what she does so long as there is nothing going on behind my back and she is the same with me. We have been together too long, been though too much, and built too much to throw it all away over 1 night of hanky panky

Communication is the key to it, just like any relationship you have to talk and communicate and with a long distance situation its that much more critical, to devote the time to it MAKE time for it. The physical stuff is hard to get past but after about 8-10 weeks (for me anyway little woman goes kinda nutty from 6-8 and then again about 16-18 week mark) you dont worry about that so much so long as the rest of things are still going well.

[pmat]

not at all.

[decay]

for the most part.

i've got a nice (and safe) place to live, just went from a good job to a better one, relationship with the gf isn't perfect but we try.

[monticello]

Needs-yes, wants-no.

[ajhostetter]

SRSLY.

Mine are about to take a steep drop when my daughter is born tomorrow.

Better be prepared for next year Blunt.

Don't know if this is #1 or not, but congrats! If it is #1, just know that the first year is really tough. For me, it was a going from getting 100% of the wife's attention to...maybe 60%, and she was trying hard. BTW, I think you're one of the funniest guys on here.

[Holland]

Most definitely not.

But at least my basic survival needs are being met.

[TurboJake]

Needs? Sure.
Desires? Most.

[evandael]

made it to somewhere between esteem and belonging, with an occasional dip into safety or.. eek, physiological.

[Raxe]

Yessir.

[einhander]

We all have needs. Are yours being met?

Yes.

People who say no need to wake the fuck up and get what they need.

And anyone on this forum, pissing time away talking about cars, is clearly having their needs met.

Yes. Im living a life where I'm pushing my potential more and more everyday. Becoming someone I only dreamt of as a kid. I'm totally content. I didn't get this way overnight, but it's a goal I worked towards.

I dont care what she does so long as there is nothing going on behind my back and she is the same with me. We have been together too long, been though too much, and built too much to throw it all away over 1 night of hanky panky

Even if either of you did cheat, what does it really matter? I mean honestly, it's just one night. Ppl tend to blow the whole thing outta proportion in regards to sex outside of the relationship. Only if you start reading too far into it, do you begin to believe that you'd be happy with someone else and end up getting a divorce.

One of my first acting teachers said it best. It's when you start spending time with someone and really appreciating who they are as a person is it bad. Then, yes, you are on your way to compromising your relationship.

A random bang....not so important in the grand scheme of things. If anything, if it makes you feel good (physically and emotionally), it's almost therapeutic in a way.

I think lady MacBeth once said "a guilty conscience makes cowards of us all"

That. Me and my woman have been together for about two and a half years and we've been long distance for about a total of 10 ish months with much, much more to come, 2-4 years. theres been some close calls. Its very important to make the time for one another. Skype, phone calls, whatever. Sending stuff through the mail(a cheesy love letter with a picture of you too will gain you a ton of points btw). You just have to make sure you both are ready to put forth the effort that it takes to be in a LDR. It wont take long before you realize if itll work or not.

I would say im not really satisfied but im busting ass so one day i will be. The wifeys only 150 miles away compared to 3000(I was in Brooklyn, she was in Ca) so we see each other a lot more but its still hard. Between work and now school its tough to make time. So far ive seen her about once a week for at least 8 hours. But in some ways its nice. such a great feeling seeing her after so long apart. inb4 lol waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles


As far as cheating goes... dont know if i could. It'd hurt me and i know she would be hurt. dont think i could do it. When i was young i grew up and saw how my dad cheating fucked my mom up pretty bad so i learned from that i guess...

How'd i get on this rant? needs?
