Short to Long Distance
Hello!
I'm Charlotte, I'm 21-years-old, and I've been with my boyfriend, Iain, for almost two and a half years. He's currently completing a master's degree in Chemical Engineering at the university where we first met but I've graduated and found a job 60 miles away as a trainee librarian. We are very fortunate as the distance between us isn't very large but, as we're reliant on public transport, it will take about two and a half hours door-to-door to visit each other. When he is at home during the university vacations we'll be about 175 miles apart. We're used to being long distance for a couple of months at a time during university vacations but this is the first time we'll be long distance for an extended period. I am hoping to start a master's degree next year and, ideally, I'll do that near where Iain finds a job or PhD opportunity; we anticipate being long distance for either one or two years. We're planning to see each other quite regularly -- about twice a month -- but I'm finding it very strange going from seeing him everyday to once a fortnight. In the past we have always coped very well as we were able to console ourselves with the promise of seeing each other every day once term began but, obviously, things have changed a bit now.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you and learn how to avoid some of the pitfalls of being in a long distance relationship.
