Missthecountry2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 What were some hurdles you had to overcome as a couple in the beginning of your relationship? And how did you get through them together? Every new relationship has differences of opinions or point of views....just wondering what you had to work together on in the beginning. For examples, friends of opposite sex, distance, difference in schedules, family or friends disaproval. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
smackie9 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 If I had all those issues to work through I wouldn't be dating them......the only issue we really had was where to have sex because we were both living at home lol. 2
central Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Our biggest issue was distance. We also had opposite sex friends - actually FWB situations - but that wasn't really a problem since we just agreed to keep them and have an open relationship. Eventually, I was able to relocate, since she couldn't due to her career. We're both very pragmatic and willing to work out almost anything as we were extremely compatible - and still are.

Central, can I ask you if you are still having this open relation, for how long and how you are doing? Do you know with who your partner has sex or you don't care or don't want to know? I'm very curious, as in that I had one myself in some way, but didn't really appreciated it.

Yes, it still works well for us, and it's 16 years later. We always put our relationship first, and we do know each other's partners as we tend to hang out socially. She only occasionally wants someone else - I tend to have longer-term FWBs I see regularly. 1
hippychick3 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 We've had many hurdles... age difference, long distance due to job relocation, very different family backgrounds, different religions. But, we truly are in love and our attachment to each other and our compatibility trumps any of that.
