Long Distance Love Barcelona

I’ve always wondered why people want to live together. It’s a beautiful thing whey you want to be together, mind you, but what about the times when you don’t want to be together? Doesn’t it make sense to have the option?

I’m not talking about families here, I mean, obviously children need to be with their parents and, naturally, parents need one another’s help with the kids. But, for everyone else, I just don’t see the point. Not that I haven’t done it. The ‘For better or for worse…’  thing, and there always seems to be way too much of the ‘for worse’, for my taste. Don’t get me wrong, I did live with two men in my life, one when I was just 22 years of age and the other when I was 35. Both times, it took me about a year and a half of living together, day by day, day in and day out, inescapable really that the relationships fell apart.

Luckily, I travel alot and so does my new current boyfriend of over three years. Right now, he’s staying at one of the Luxury Barcelona Hotels on a business trip and I’m staying in my own little home back in the states, enjoying the time to myself. I keep my place and he has kept his place. Two homes. It took me awhile, but I finally figured out I value solitude; especially when I’m on a writing jag and won’t come up for air for weeks. The silence is transcendent. He’s absence is not missed because he feels the same as I, he needs and enjoys his space to do his photography. We seem, also, to come up for air at the same time. We are happy to be alone and at the same time so happy to be together when we are together. So, I ask, again, why do we even bother to live together?
