My thoughts on our weekend together

• We spent our most recent weekend together the way we spend most of our visits: alone - just the two of us, spoiling each other with undivided attention and isolated from the outside world. As much as I enjoy the solitary love nest we create when we're together, I realize that this is not at all healthy nor is it a representation of everyday life. I think it is important that we explore our relationship within the context of multiple settings not just one. On our next visit, I would like for us to engage in activities outside of our residences. We could go out to dinner or to a movie, go bowling, get together with our respective friends, play poker. There are any number of things we could do that would serve to strengthen our relationship and allow us to get to know each other in a new and different way.


• A situation arose during this trip that forced us to use our communication and conflict resolution skills for the first time and I must say that I am very pleased with the way we handle everything. However, the incident was a reminder to me that despite how long we've been together (approximately 16 months), our relationship is still very untested. We've yet to have our first argument (I don't think this past weekend qualifies) and we've never had to tackle any significant problems together. This concerns me a little. I don't want to walk down the aisle unless I am reasonably certain that we have what it takes to conquer whatever life throws at us.


• The "make-up sex" after our little conflict was absolutely terrific. I reacted with puppy dog enthusiasm when you commanded me to take off my panties and lie on my stomach because I knew a spanking was in store. With each stinging swat, my desire grew more intense until eventually I was raising my hips to meet your hand. You finished me off with a finger-fuck from behind. Delicious!


• In the book that I have on long-distance relationships, the author mentions that it is completely normal to experience mixed emotions about leaving your partner. He explains that, oftentimes, once the need for intimacy has been satisfied, we become anxious to refocus on the world we live in. This is the way I felt during our last few hours together. While I was sad about the impending separation, I was ready to get back to my day-to-day life. The funny thing is though, once I had kissed you goodbye and pulled out of the airport parking lot, I was ready to have you back.
