Hi all,
I just joined minutes ago, and hope to make friends in similar situations of having a long distance relationship. My bf and I met almost a year ago, as classmates in Chinese class. He's from Germany, and was an exchange student in my university. We did hang out a couple of times, always with other friends, and I was still in a relationship with another guy at this point. The next semester, I broke up with my then-boyfriend, and it was my turn to go for an exchange semester abroad. It had been planned before I got to know my current boyfriend, but I was lucky enough that it's only 50km away from where his university is. We hang out more, this time only the two of us, and took only a couple of months before we made it official. (I had to prod him a little to clarify our status, as he is really shy.)
I had the best three months of my life, and then I came to the end of my exchange semester. I just left Germany yesterday.
I did anticipate it to be hard, but it still took me by surprise, how hard it is to leave him. I kept breaking into tears the whole day, and today I'm still tearing. I'm staying in Oslo for a 2-day travel, and I had to pull myself together to actually go and sightsee and not waste my trip.
We agreed to keep in touch through FB messages and Skype calls, and occasional snail mails. He even plans on visiting me next year in March, after his graduation. I plan to find an internship in Germany from April to September next year, and then start my master's degree in October. Seven months LDR seems possible, and yet it seems so long.
He's really special to me. He accepts me with all my flaws, and I want to be strong for him. I really hope it will get easier with time, and maybe, having friends in similar circumstances will help.
Sorry for the super long post!! I'll go back to scouring the forum
