International couples: How many of you started close distance?

[nicole]

We met whilst I was on my USA exchange for Uni, we had 9 months CD before I had to go home to England. Then is was 1 1/2 years long distance, and closed the distance this last February

We met in Canada while we were both studying abroad, but only knew each other for a month before he left. Our relationship started only after that, so we have been LD from the start :-/
It's been nearly two years now and it's at least another 1 1/2 to go..

I was studying abroad in Tasmania when I met him, so we were together CD for three months before I had to come back to the States. now we've been LD for almost a full year, with one nice two month visit in the middle.

What a coincidence! Well, my SO and I met and have been together for over 3 years now in Singapore.. However, I will be moving to Canada in about a month's time to pursue my studies for 4 years! D: and it is likely that I can only come back here to visit about once a year? Him going there to visit is unlikely. He will also be studying, but in Singapore.. and will be in the Army every time it is his holidays. I am rather confident in our relationship. but I guess you can never be READY to be apart.. especially knowing that it's gonna be for such a long time and we are so used to having each other there.

Met close distance and were in the same city from mid August to mid March. We were at about 10-15min car ride from each other's apartments.

Now he lives in Seattle and me in Montreal 2250 too many miles in between.

We met while I was an exchange student in the US and been together for 3 months before I had to leave and come back to Italy...now we've been together for 5 months and even if we're ldr things are going great and we know we will make it

We went to school together when I lived in the UK, we were acquaintances but nothing more. And then I moved out of the country, and we started talking and then got together after about 8 months of me living here

My boyfriend is moving to Korea from America to be closer to me. He's still in another hemisphere but now its the same timezone. Just a little bit closer...

[bubli]

We have been married for 7 years and have two beautiful kids....just recently he moved away 8000 miles for work....praying every second to be together soon!

[redapple]

Bubli I can't imagine how hard that is for you. Does he have a set date for coming home? I admire your strength!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site-my BF and I have been CD for 2+ years, we both went to USC here in Los Angeles and were friends through all of college. On Sunday he leaves to go to med school in Guadalajara... The soonest he might be back in the US is for his fourth year, if he can get internships at USC/UCLA/somewhere else in southern california. This is my second LDR, but I've never done international and I'm really nervous!

[Alemap]

We met when he was visiting Australia, and fell in love. He tried to stay, but couldn't find work before his money ran out, and he had to go back.
He's currently at home in Alabama, formulating a plan for how to move back here for good.

my SO and I have been close distance for almost five years (10 km apart) and see each other at least 2 or 3 times a week sometimes more. He's moving to Ireland in six weeks for med school for five years. Im not sure what to expect, but I'm very scared to be honest. Its going to be such a hard change i dont know if we'll be able to pull through.

[OvertheSea]

I was attending a field school in the UK and Ireland, and he worked there! We were together for 2 months, then I had to go back to Canada~ Moving to the UK for a year come september though..so pleased!
