<human>: Hi Reddit,

This is my first post! Also, English is not my first language. So, please expect some spelling/grammar mistakes here and there.... :)

Here it goes... She's my sweetheart from our 1st year in college. We are in a relationship for last 8 years. We have had a pretty good time all along. And yes, we also had our fair share of fights between us like most other couples. Still, all these time I have NEVER had relationships with any other women (even during last two years).

Now, due to some circumstances we are having to live in separate countries for last few years with limited chances of meeting each other. But we still keep our relationship going by calling each other almost daily.

We both are ready to take our relationship to the next level. But there's this uncertainty as I am living in a different country and neither of us can leave our country/job to go and stay with the other. At least for the next 12 months that surely is the case.

Now, I often get a feeling that my physical needs are not being met. But i'm really having a tough time thinking about any option other than waiting another 12 months (may be even more) to meet her. Whenever I think of going and fooling around, I feel like it's just not "Me" and I would never do that.

Whenever I mention my sexual frustration, she says she's helpless and her situation is not any different other than that she's is better at controlling emotions...

One of my friends says that going to a prostitute is like having a nice meal at a restaurant. There's nothing wrong doing that once in a while even if your wife/gf prepares for you the best meal in the world. That made my situation even more miserable.

What do you think, Reddit? Should I wait or should I cross the boundary which I have set for myself?

and

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: 8 years of relationship which still continues (last two years were only through phone and may be another 12+ months more before I get to meet her). But my conscience wouldn't let me fool around other girls or to go to prostitutes.
