More Exchanges about the LDR
Aron sent me a really nice e-mail to follow up on the letter I wrote.
He basically said:
"I understand where you're coming from. I didn't want to seem pushy or for you to feel like you didn't have the option to back out in case you changed your mind. It doesn't matter what we do - I just want to spend time with you.
I know it's difficult when your primary experience has been through long distance. Your paranoia is going to kick in at times, but as time passes, you'll see that we have all the time in the world for things we end up doing. I know it's difficult to see now because things have progressed quickly, but this is real. I'm not going anywhere."
So I replied back this morning: "I was worried because it might seem silly to you but in retrospect, I'm glad I brought it up."
Aron: "Yeah, I'm glad too. Helps me understand you better."
Me: "Long distance isn't exactly something that can be classified as a typical relationship, either. Like it took considerably longer for me to get comfortable being intimate with that person, but I only got to see him once a month, so that played into things. I see you a lot more often than that."
Aron: "Yeah, it's a very different experience so I understand."
Taking it in stride. <3
