I am in long distance relationship with my girlfriend whom I will be marrying the next year. We have been into relationship from past 10 years long distance. I can only meet her once a year in a public place for a hour that’s it. As she can’t meet at some other place because of the area she lives in.

I work n live in another city far from her. The thing that has kept us going is emotions we both have for each other, we fight, love back again & we evolve! But I have always been craving for physical need as my body wanted it, so I have one of my female friends in city I live in. We both share some good conversation about life, she knows I have a gf & she herself is single. After we mutually decided that we need to fulfil our bodily need we had physical contact. I often feel very guilty for doing this, but my friend says I know you might feel bad, but you have to respect that you didn’t lied to me about anything & I am okay with it, so should you be. I have been into mindfulness practice from past 3 years, it has saved my life.

Kindly enlighten me with your thoughts! Much metta.
