19 months we have been together and it has been really great, especially this last year. To be honest we have both said we didn't think it would work out this well. I am in England and she is in Colombia. We still haven't met in person after all this time simply because neither of us have the money, one visit will cost around £1000 .
We 'spend' quite a lot of time together so in that way we are lucky. She works from home and the 5/6 hour time difference works out ok most of the time! We leave the webcam on at night to sleep together and when I am working on my laptop we are connected by msn or skype so that we are together. Right now is really hard as she went away for Christmas to her brothers house with all the family. She went on the 21st of Dec and doesn't return until the weekend! We have spent the whole Christmas holidays apart and it hurts bad. I guess it is harder because her family don't know she is in a same sex relationship and so everytime I call she has to go outside to speak to me - pretty annoying as I am 35 and she is 37 and has to sneak around like a teenager. Anyway, I handle this because I love her so much.
We have said that this year we are going to do everything possible to arrange a visit. It's weird to trust someone so much and be so in love when you are 5000 miles apart, but it feels so right and I KNOW that one day we will be together.
Anyway, just needed a rant as sometimes it feels so unfair seeing couples everywhere when your SO is at the other side of the world.
