[quote=Anonymous]We lived apart due to job situations for the first 3.5 years of our marriage. There was a geographic angle to this, since both of our careers were also pretty geographically limited. When I got pregnant, I switched careers and moved to where DH was/we still are. Just had our second baby, and things are pretty good between us. I don't know about doing this in retirement, just because I like being in the same house as DH, but it is workable in general if you are good communicators by phone and have the means and willingness to travel frequently. One thing that might have helped us, though, is that DH and I were also long-distance when we first started dating (moved to be together for several years, then apart for jobs). DH isn't naturally great at talking through things, but that started us off on the right foot of good communication. Without the ability to talk through emotional stuff on the phone, I don't think a LD marriage would work.[/quote]
