What do long term (1 year+) successful affairs look like?

Friendship is the base of a LT affair. Not I can’t live without you but exactly the opposite. I can live without you but I want you in my life.

LT is casual. It’s laid back. It’s flexible in feelings, time and circumstances. LT means no one is leaving and you manage around those expectations. LT is learning how to censor.

LT is understanding space and being able to pick up when it’s over like no time has past.

LT is true sexual compatibility. Lust and love but also intimacy.

LT is respecting the AP SO (yes, I know).

LT is understanding if you ever got caught, the destruction you both will have caused probably won’t be overcome.
