Dear Abby: We live in separate cities. Is video-chat intimacy worth exploring?

DEAR ABBY:

My fiance and I are engaged to be married soon, but we live (and will continue to live) in separate cities. We are in our mid-50s with children, and itโ€™s the second marriage for each of us.

My fiance isnโ€™t very verbal about his desires, but we talk with each other every day and we live together about half the time. I want to make sure he isnโ€™t lonely and isnโ€™t wanting more when weโ€™re apart, but Iโ€™m not an openly sexual person, and Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™d feel comfortable engaging in video chat intimacy with him. I have raised the topic with him. He suggested I write to you and see what you suggest. — LONG-DISTANCE WIFE-TO-BE

DEAR WIFE-TO-BE:

If you both agree, Iโ€™m suggesting you and your fiance give it a try. If you do, it may not only enhance your married life but also teach you both how to discuss what you need from each other, which could only bring you closer.
