Finding time to be with your OSO
I blog here from time to time about our poly relationship and truthfully, I get some good feedback. Since I realize not everyone reads the blogs, I thought I'd post this question in the forum where more people visit.
Particularly for those in a poly relationship where everyone does NOT live together (insight is welcome from all however), is it difficult for you to find time to spend with your OSO? If so, what are some of the ways you've found to help with this?
A brief background of "us". We are in a poly-fi quad of two couples. We live 2 hours apart but work one hour apart. One of the three of us works shift work. The rest of us work basically 8-5 jobs. The distance and the shift work are huge problems when it comes to spending time together. My other husband and I love spending time together but we can go longer periods without it than Gator and Kitten can. Their personalities make face to face communication more of a necessity for them to stay close. Emails, texts and phone calls are all something the four of us do but they get disconnected easier than Tech and I do. And wouldn't you know, Gator is the one that works shift work. Since neither Tech or I work strange hours, technically, it is easier for the two of us to see each other. Technically. Realistically it can be different.
Any suggestions here would be appreciated. Particularly for Gator and Kitten.
Thanks,
Vol
