How to Keep the Fire Alive Across Any Distance.
Does any of this sound familiar?
- You speak every day and feel further apart than last month.
- Arguments on a screen never finish, they just get hung up.
- The day before a visit is wonderful and the day after is awful.
- Nobody can tell you when it ends, and that is the real problem.
What this book is
A book about a relationship across a distance: the rhythms that hold, how to argue well on a screen, and how to decide when the distance has to close.
What it is not
Encouragement to wait forever. One whole part is about closing the distance, including the decision not to.
What is inside
Part I. Love on two maps
Part II. Staying connected
Part III. Trust, conflict and the people around you
Part IV. Different kinds of distance
Part V. Closing the distance
And then. Appendices with the practical material, a glossary of the terms used, further reading, and where to get help.
