I am currently in a LD relatinship with my Master, and i think they way i get through it is knowing that right now, there is no chance that either of us could change our lifestyles to be closer to each other. But. I hope in the future this can happen. It helps me to know that although it is LD he treats me (albeit online) the same way i would want him to treat me if we were together.
When i talk to my Master and he is instructing me to do this, or do that, or i require you to.. I actually feel like he is there with me and that if i dont do what he is asking the consequences are going to be as bad as if we were together.
i dont know if that made sense, lol, but i think thats what gets me through it.
