Our anonymous question this week is all about staying together when you’re physically miles apart. How do you turn those “admin” phone calls into conversations that will brighten your day rather than leave you feeling flat and discombobulated. Our anonymous Fatterati member feels like her phone calls with her partner have become more like reporting in.

We call in the experts and offer our own tips. Kirsty’s husband G has booked his flight meaning they are working on their “Communication doc” in preparation to living apart.

We also spoke to Rhoda Bangerter who has written Holding the Fort Abroad. Rhoda also suggested reading The Seven Principles for Making a Marriage Work by John Gottman.
