Today I was at lunch with two girl friends my class. Somehow during lunch, the conversation turned to long distance relationships.
One of the girls is from Canada, her boyfriend of three years is out there, and the only reason she is in the UK (my hometown) is because she is studying at the same university as me. we graduate in 2016. After this, she will go back to Canada.
She was telling the other girl how long distance relationships are super hard, they argue all the time, feelings are changing between them, and in her opinion "long distance relationships rarely work out".
At this point, i just kept totally silent, almost as if i saw a ghost, and continued to eat my lunch, but this made me SUPER scared!
This was coming from a girl who has been with this guy for 3 years, i couldnt help but compare my situation with hers? i've only been with my SO for 6 months. And we are trying to organise our first meeting. it's hard since im studying, he's in the military in the US and im in London, UK. But he is awaiting leave from the army, and will come and spend time with me ASAP. I care about him SO much, and he does about me too, but i'm frightened, especially after hearing from someone with first hand experience.
I know i shouldn't compare myself, since no two situations are the same, and there could be several reasons why they just arent getting along anymore, perhaps the distance is the easiest thing to "blame", i dont know.
But i would love to hear from anyone who is battling long distance with success and your success stories, even if you haven't yet closed the gap.
I need some uplifting news!
