Was just looking over the Poly Vignettes thread, noticed was a new story, and that spurred this thought.
What do you do when your partner is LDR or just away for a long time, or short time, or however long?
Some of the things that have helped a lot (and are cheap and don't involve actual travel to visit each other, though that's best of course!):
1) Skype Video chat (or anything similar). Sometimes (though too often and I think the appeal might wear off) he keeps the video up, to watch me fall asleep. Or if I wake up early to chat with him and want to go back to sleep afterwards, he'll just watch me sleep. It actually feels absurdly comforting.
2) A daily "Good morning" and "Good night" text
3) Sending pictures of each other doing normal (non sexy) stuff throughout the day, especially positioned so that I can visualize myself in them (like he sent one of him on the couch, with a view that I would have if I were lying in his lap)
Any others? I'm usually with him now, but a little nervous that things will change for the next few months and looking for other ways to stay connected...
