DEAR ABBY: I got out of rehab two months ago. While I was there, I met someone. “Annie” lives in Florida, and I live in California. We both are doing great, and I believe we make each other stronger.
Do you think a long-distance relationship can work? I hear it’s not possible. She has recently divorced, and so have I. Annie has two children, 15 and 16, and for this reason, she can’t leave Florida. I have two kids as well, 11 and 16, and can’t leave my state for the same reason. But our kids will go to college in a few years, and I really care for her.
I know how hard it is to find someone. Over the last three years, I’ve dated 20 women. None of them is anyone I would like to be in a relationship with. Annie is perfect for me. I said we should take it one day at a time. She has flown out here twice to see me, and I’m going to fly to see her next. I know this relationship has its challenges. People tell me that anything is possible and that I should see where it takes us. -- HOPEFUL IN THE DESERT
