HI everyone
I am new here. I am in a very frustrating LDR. We are married but because of a variety of reasons- we both have kids and jobs- we are currently living in different states. I have 4 children - 14, 9,7,5 and he has 2- 14.13.12. We have been together for 4 eyars, married 1.5. We dated in college, split up and reconnected after we each got divorced. We thought a ourt decision was going to go our way so one of us could move but sadly it did not turn out that way. Our marriage is solid. It's just really hard to be apart. We see each other about 1/2 the month. Mostly me going there when I am not working and when my kids are withe their dad. We are hoping that at the end of the school year he will be moving to where I live.
Anyway, hello and if any one has BTDT or has any great advice I'd love it!!

Wow! I can't imagine being married and living apart like that. It must be tough on both of you and your families. When he moves, will be be able to bring his kids with him or do they have to stay behind?
They will come with. 1 is super excited, 1 kinda marginal and 1 not wanting to move at all. It's been a tough 4 years that's for sure!!
No words of advice, just want to say I feel for you. I am in a long-distance marriage for the last few years. No kids involved, but we live in different states because neither is able/willing give up our career. We hope to end this situtation soon.
