Long Distance DDLG

[Guest little_moonx]

Hiiii

 

I have a long distance daddy who lives in another country and i just wondered if there were other daddies, mommies, little or middles that also do this and if there is any advice you have or how you cope with the distance xxx

I was in a LDR with someone in a different country and it (personally) didn’t go very well - I think with LDRs you need to set out what you want in the relationship early and set up plans to achieve that. The relationship I am currently in started as a LDR but in the same country and we now live together and I couldn’t be happier!

 

Definitely try and make time together and show the other person that you’re thinking of them

Not in an LDR relationship, but certainly long distance--Email, snail mail, vid chat, and phone calls are your friends. I only had snail mail and once a month phone calls, way back when--and we've been married over 25 years now.

 

Communicate a lot, plan out how you want to do rules/enforcements. And stick to them. If you work together, it's hard but it's worth it.

any type of communication daily can make all the difference, care packages, hand written letter, make plans to see eachother... voice chatting movie night gaming nights reading stories together

 

there are a ton of things you can do but its all about making the distance seem insignificant so be as close as you can be without having an impact on your life since the most important thing is balance, dont lose your life into an LDR have things to tell your partner and give them room to explore and they will have things to tell you

Im from the U.S. and my Daddy is from New Zealand. We just hit 3yrs back in October.It can be hard but we make eachother priority most of the time. Life happens so sometimes other things have to come first. We have calls 2 to 3 times a day, and keep in contact rest of the day. Because of the time 18hr difference he gets tbe good mornins ands i get good night tuck ins. We video when we can. Friday nights are bedtime video dates. We have had the same routine from the start. We were upfront about what we wanted and expectations and idea of a timeline when we started.
