Constant Contact Over A Distance

This was inspired by a post I saw in the Doing Kink Long-Distance group.

Master and I have been 600 miles apart since September of 2010. It has been 4.5 long months with very few visits in between. The only way we have been able to stay close and get through these hard times of us being apart was by us having constant, daily contact. Had we not been able to talk and text and instant message every day the distance would have driven us both crazy with sadness and depression which would have only made everything worse for the both of us.
Constant contact helped us get through the rest of the pregnancy.
Constant contact helped us get through our marriage (November 24, 2010).
Constant contact helped us get farther in our M/s relationship.
Constant contact kept us both in the high spirits we needed to be to function.

Constant contact is what got us through being apart for as long as we have been.

Without that contact the insecurities I had about my Master finding another woman would have never gotten resolved and only caused problems and possibly caused us to ‘not make it’. Even with the constant, daily contact I got those insecurities because I was afraid that in our young age he would decide he wasn’t ready for this and would want to go and do other things but I was wrong… and the only way I was able to realize that was by talking to my Master and talking to him about my fears and getting through them through his constant reassurance that me and this baby were important to him.
Without that constant contact I wouldn’t have been able to handle the finances in a way that benefited both of us. By being able to talk to him daily I was able to know when he needed food and how much. When he needed gas and when he needed other bills due. By keeping constant contact he was able to go and take care of matters that needed to be done in person that I was unable to do.
Constant contact hasn’t only benefited me though. By being able to stay in constant, daily contact with each other I’ve been able to do things for my Master that made him feel as if he were still a part of thing. I would inform him of everywhere I went as he no longer could go with me. I told him every detail of every appointment before I told anyone else or posted about it as usually he would have gone with me. I was able to send him pictures of my belly as it got bigger. We were able to get on webcam almost every night.
The daily, constant contact helped us both… not just me. The girl who posted the question that inspired this journal asked if constant contact was needed to help a long distance relationship work and my answer to that is yes. Without it I can’t honestly say I believe Master and I would have been able to make it. :)
