Long Distance Realization
I just realized that one of the things that really sucks with Brian’s living across the world from me is that I don’t get invited out by single friends (because I’m not single, so they don’t think to), but I also don’t get invited out by coupled-off friends (because my other half isn’t here). As if being in this sort of relationship weren’t hard enough – no one’s really helping matters with preconceived notions.
Friends Keep Saying I Should Blog... 
Long distance is a tricky thing. I’ve never been good with the love advice, but I think your friends need to step up and realize that you are an individual within a coupleand that you don’t operate as unit. Friends are friends are friends, regardless of relationship status.
One thing I wanted to ask you was how you’ve handled explaining your Candida to your sig. other, friends and family. Because my Candida manifests specifically in the form of yeast infections, I find it rather difficult to explain. Regardless of the fact that when you say “I have Candida”, no one knows what it is. How did you handle this one?
