Locked in her closet

Yes, my good girl was locked in her closet this morning. But there was nothing kinky about that.

In our LDR, we have various rituals and one of them is that she calls me every morning. It has become such a ritual that she will call me at 6:15 a.m. her time Saturday morning before I go play tennis. And then I put her back to bed after we chat and before I leave so she can sleep in. I have suggested she sleep in and skip the call but she wants to call.

Well, she had guests overnight but she still wanted to call and didn't want to explain why she would be placing a call that early in the morning. So she locked herself in her closet and called me and whispered as we had a short chat. I have to admit I had to smile at that image. And last night when she called to be put to bed, she was in bed and again whispering.

I guess our rituals have taken on more significance than we expected when we started them almost 23 months ago back when we were only texting and before we started talking on the phone.

  1. Good for you...and for both of you! I think that when you are long distance, those rituals carry more importance.

  2. Sounds interesting. Did it take her long to get use to calling you every morning and at night at bed time and what reminders did you use if she did forget?

    1. We started off texting, not calling, before we switched to the phone. I've never needed any reminders because she liked the idea right from the start. I don't think she's ever forgotten because those calls are such an important part of our day.

      You can read her blog for her thoughts on the subject:

  3. I also smiled when I read that :) Mostly, because I definetly understand her. If something is ritual for me and I need to skip it, I feel like I screw up and I need to be punished for that. Even if I had permission, I feel as I didn't see to my issues correctly and didn't prepare the situation to allow our ritual to have place. So... yeah... I smiled ;) (As ussual sorry for my English :) )

  5. This made me smile, very sweet. We have texting rules in place for when we are apart, these include first thing in the morning and bedtime.

  6. Master and I aren't long distance, but I have a set time I call him every night that we don't spend together, just so we can keep each other up to date about anything going on.
    I also text him when I wake up, and when I go to bed, which is probably a more ritual for us than the calling.

  8. Rituals are a must in a LDR. I imagine it's what keeps you feeling connected.

  9. Aw, like most have already said, this made me smile. I think it's so cute how that ritual seems to be special to the both of you. :)

  10. I can't say that I blame her. When we had our regular good night calls (we only talked for about 5 minutes to say good night, and so we could hear each other's voices), it didn't have to be commanded or anything. Neither one of us wanted to go one night without those calls.
