    yearlong LDR without seeing each other for a year

    Hello community,

    my boyfriend and I have been together for 1,5 years and have the feeling that we are meant for each other (I know it sounds really immature at the age of 19 but we work well together and can imagine a future with our own family).

    We graduated this year and now it is time to go to uni. Problem: he is going to Korea while I'm going to the UK. We did have short periods of LDR of about 2 months before but that is the longest we've been apart.

    We are trusting in each other, never fought and are committed to try our best to work this out. Unfortunately due to this long distance we won't be able to see each other more than once a year and that for a period of 6 years.

    We want to try, but feel really discouraged by everyone saying it won't work. Does anyone have experience with LDR for such a long time and could tell me their story to maybe give me a chins up?

    Thank you so much. I really appreciate all responses!

    Welcome to LFAD.

    It sounds like the two of you have a good foundation for your relationship. That is essential. 6 years is a long time and it can be done if both parties work together to make it happen. Tomorrow it will be 1 year since the last time I saw my SO. There are people on here who haven't seen their SO in over 2 years. It can be done if the both of you put in the effort and the time.

    Good luck!

        I won't be able to see my OH more than once per year either and as much as it it feels like forever in between, I can't imagine being with anyone else and wouldn't want to either.

          I have yet to meet my SO for the first time (meeting next summer), but at least for 3 more years, I can see him only once a year as well.
          And god only knows what will happen after those 3 years.

          But it doesn't really discourage me, I even feel lucky that I'll get to spend summers with him. Especially if the whole year is going to be busy with studying and everything.
          I think it's lucky to have someone like him even if it's miles away. And the only thing that could discourage me and scare me is the relationship issues itself, rather than a distance. I feel pretty confident as long as the relationship is strong :3
