I feel the same
Actually I like different countries
I like living alone,its been 16 years and I never feel bored or lonely
I like people visiting,but I also enjoy them leaving
I did the live in stuff,and it never worked,mainly my fault,coz I wanted my own room and felt smothered.
maybe I just like romantic holidays,just things have changed for me now

This.

While it might not make sense for everyone, it makes every bit of difference for me/us.

That's the thing,I try and use the analogy of my shoes won't fit most people nor my diet.
Theres no sense in being dishonest or doing something out of guilt.
I moved in with a woman,coz I felt guilty and didn't want to hurt her,it was a distaster and she got hurt anyway,as did I.
I wanted it to work,but's it just not me.
I like that,13,000 miles of ocean between us,LOL

I'm glad you have met someone and its working,good on you both

Do you have a friend into tranguys???????

I believe anything will work if you put enough into it. I had a two year online using Skype to connect. We spoke daily and she had to have surgery so I wired a beautiful bouquet of flowers to the hospital. We only stopped speaking when her daughter was brought home from her dads and we could not say two words without the daughter standing by her mom talking or putting her face up to the camera etc. After many days of this and her mother saying little I called it quits. She was a lovely woman and very attractive but there is a limit to everyone's patience I suppose.
Anyway, I was suppose to go down to the US to see her before the break but of course it never made it. I do however think it can work as it all depends on the two people involved. I have friends that have had a one year relationship and ended it and they dated every weekend so, it's the people involved in my opinion.

You're right, it takes two to make it work.

Ldrs aren't easy by any means.

I'm sorry you have had bad experiences with this.
