90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 34

Day 34: What are some negative impacts you feel distance has made on your relationship?

Cat: I really feel like this LDR has had more of a positive impact on our relationship more so than a negative impact. We loved living together, but we lived with each other while we were both doing our master’s. It was pretty stressful, and towards the end, things got tough… But we made it through the storm, and while being in a LDR sounds like the thing that would really tear us apart, it really brought us closer together and made us stronger as individuals and as a couple. I think it has given us clarity in a way we had not yet. Babe?

Richard: Yeah, exactly what you said, babe. I can only say that it’s difficult when I really need a cuddle, but I know we’re strong as ever. 🙂

Now, who knows if he’s going to win, but I’m so happy that Steve Carrell got nominated for his lead role in Foxcatcher.

I’m also pretty pleased that Eddie Redmayne got nominated! I’m sure you could tell from my reaction to his Golden Globes win that his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything is one of my favorite performances of the year.

To see the full list of nominees (and The Washington Post’s Stephanie Merry’s reactions to the nominees in each category), click here.

Did any of your favorites get nominated? I was pretty bummed that David Oleyowo didn’t get an Oscar nomination… His performance gave me goosebumps – just from the trailer for Selma alone!

Feel free to comment below on any of the nominees and categories!

Lots of love,
