Let your family know that you appreciate their opinions, however for right now this is the path you’re choosing to take. We care about each other but we’ve never physically met. After Mike and I met it was probably 2 months between separating and making it official. (I am from Canada.) Hope that helps! The negativity is because they don’t understand, and people are often skeptical or even afraid of what they don’t understand. They have the right to be worried about you, sure, but they’re advice is moot because they don’t know what they’re talking about. I should be looking forward to the long trip, but I am so worried about what’s going to happen after that. I’ve always found that reality can be so much better than any dream if you let life do it’s thing! It’s so encouraging to read something like this since I’m currently worrying myself sick about there being distance in my relationship. It doesn’t mean that you’ll lose or sacrifice your connection with your mum, you can still talk to her all the time. We re-connected 10 years later and at first it was amazing, he was full of love and regret for not keeping in touch and said I was never far from his mind, we talked and video called daily, he asked what it would take for me to move over and we started planning a future, we planned for him to come over and for me to go to him and to meet in London, so I flew over first(at his repeated request) and spent a few days with him, he was so cold and distant almost immediately and I tried to talk while we were there, but got nowhere, I questioned it when I got home, but he flatly ignored my concerns and after 2 months of slowly dwindling contact – he has now blocked me from his phone and email etc. Haha small world! You have to understand his traits, all his strengths and his flaws. If that makes sense. And it sounds like they’re pretty committed to each other, but also very practical and realistic about really making it work long term. If I had a dollar for every time someone told me my relationship was doomed I would be set for life. Have an amazing trip to Russia, and stay strong! Communication is one of the most vital aspects of a long distance relationship, and if you get it right, you can have an amazing long distance relationship! I moved back to California to finish my undergraduate degree and my boyfriend is now living in Spain for the next year. Good luck, Hey Megan. I guess they just don’t understand how well we really hit it off (just like your story). What really tugs on my heart strings is that we have limited time with each other and it’s hard to keep a positive vibe because we are both emotional about leaving one another when we head back to our homes. I’m currently in a relationship with a girl from the USA (I’m from the Netherlands) since 2014, when she came here for a study abroad program. After my graduation I decided to stay in China and moved to Shanghai to be with him. This is incredible. The post covers everything which made our relationship work, but if you have any specific questions let us know and happy to help where I can :). If you both decide to give it a go and then later down the line it doesn’t work out, at least you can say that you gave it a go, and it was great for while it lasted, but wasn’t meant to be. We also have a free Facebook community you can join to to connect with other people who understand what you’re going through. It might just work out. And if its a long distance relationship we need to worry more about our partner. But you won’t know whether it’s worth it unless you explore the relationship first. But sometimes the harder path reaps far greater rewards. Hi Jen, thanks for sharing your story – if you’ve been going strong for 10 years it sounds like your relationship is pretty solid. Hope that helps! This makes me a bit nervous because we have only been chatting and sending voice notes for 11 days. You may want to know all the reasons for your boyfriend to break up with you. It just means that the nature of how you spend time together will change. Hope that helps! May God bless you and your family. If it doesn’t work out you’ve been open to the possibility of love, and won’t carry any regrets in life :), Hope it all works out for you! I hope you do have the opportunity to meet her in Ukraine soon :). Hi Meg, my name is Oma. I am in a long distance relationship with a man that i met about 15 years ago online. But if you’ve been chatting since March and you’re still around, that should be a great sign to her that you’re interested in making it work. Hi this is my story, i went on holiday 4 years ago to Gran Canaria a Spanish island 4 years ago, i went with my daughter and we used to go in a bar we liked and there was a guy who worked there who we got friendly with. again I really loved your story and Mike seems so sweet, you are a lucky girl. Wishing you all the best too :). Yes, Mike and I met and only spent a night together before having to leave – it was a very short amount of time. We ended up breaking up because of the indecision, but never truly got over one another. For instance if it’s not the right time to discuss moving right now, don’t stress about it. I have a son who is almost nine, and he’s been twice. I am not a person that believes that long distance relationships can’t survive. Please give me any ideas you can for how to make it work when family is in different places. I love you with all of my heart baby and I am honored to be in your life. They are all telling me that I can die and they are just assuming he is a bad guy and just speaking so negatively about him and I hate it. Your post is really encouraging. I can’t see my future with anyone else and I’d rather not want anyone else. Inside of me i think it s for a great future and sometimes i imagine things are not gonna work and i would have done this for nothing…i have 2 kids and it s like a guess on future…it makes me insecure and in the other side i want to believe it does worth it !! Which gives me strength that I will must get my love one day with me physically (^._.^) I hope it works out amazing for you both :) Until you do actually meet, the best you can do is to keep that communication live and the video chats are a great way of doing that :). I know everything is possible in this world no matter what people says. Hi Meg, I am not in a LDR but my 21 yr old daughter is. Don’t hold it against them, just realize that it’s because they don’t understand. When I suggested that I visit him a couple of months later (assuming things go well) the conversation never starts. We accept payments via PayPal, Credit, or Debit. I met my fiancee nearly two years ago on a Christian prayer site online. Since i got home we have messaged a lot and i really miss him, he misses me too so i’ve booked to go back in December which is 5 months away. Thanks Lisha!! Because there WILL be a next time. I find solace in your words. I feel out of place and disconnected from my home and family who usually bring me immediate comfort, the only thing I want is him. It can be unpredictable at times. It’s hard, but it gets easier over time, and as your relationship goes on and they start getting used to the idea the negative remarks start to die down. We also have less than supportive parents (my dad wants me to consider the business’s priorities first – she can wait; her parents are afraid she’s still unmarried in her late 20s and want her to match-make, and casually dismiss me as foolish love). Thanks for sharing your story Megan, I’m actually fed up with all the jokes and negative comments I get from acquaintances and friends both near and abroad. He is my best friend’s cousin and we are from the same culture. Sorry to hear about the doubts his mother has – I know how hard it is when the people who are most important in your life aren’t supportive or encouraging. I always have doubt. Sounds like you have everything pretty well planned out and under control. We will be meeting in October and I am obviously excited, nervous but ready for the adventure, I do not know yet what the future holds but as long as we have each other, anything is possible.
