HI,
My boyfriend and I have what we have defined as an open relationship rather than poly. To us that means we don't have other loves but we have FWB / Play partners - We are into BDSM which is how we first met.
We've been together for 2 years and about 6 months ago he moved because of work / economy to another state. We continue our long distance (about 600 miles) relationship by seeing each other at least once a month - Almost every other or 3rd week lately (YAY!).
I am late 40's, he is mid 50's and our plan is for me to eventually move to him. We are putting that off until my daughter graduates from high school and that his business is successful. so, we do see an end in sight and at this time my work allows me to work remotely so I have been able to stay there for a week at a time and we are looking at other alternatives that are pallatable both for my job but more importantly my family. He comes here and has been able to schedule work around his visits with him doing things while he is here. That may change as his world gets more busy.
I'm here mostly for support and as our relationship is newly open - share my frustration in finding a partner or partners here that fulfill my needs while I fulfill theirs. He seems to have found one partner that is good with that and a second that I have some reservations about that we are going to discuss more when we are together next.
If anyone has any suggestions or helpful hints on Long Distance and just getting started please share them. I may share more of our history as discussions move along.
Thank you.
