Hi
I am also in a LDR online. I知 in UK and my boyfriend is in Italy. We talk every day by video call and are yet to meet but we are working on it.

Yes,my SO is in the UK and I am in the USA. We met each other about a month ago after 4 years of chatting and video chatting. It was great! It was like being an old married couple lol. Have ups and downs sometimes but manage to work it out. It does take a toll sometimes with the time difference. If he wasn't retired it would probably be more of a problem.

Hi 👋🏼 This is probably a little late but I just met my boyfriend for the first time a month ago! He痴 in Italy and I知 in Australia and I just went over to Italy to meet him. I was so nervous and scared even doubting before the trip if I should go but the moment I saw him and got to hug him all the nerves melt away. I was so worried about it being awkward but was not an issue at all. We were dating online for a year and have texted almost constantly and called and video called as often as we get so we knew eachother very well. Let me know if you have any questions!

How long are you chatting online before deciding met in real life? Don't you consider it is a trick?

I am Scottish and my other half is Indian and we met in India. Got to be honest and say that I am not very trusting of the internet. Maybe I am old fashioned

Yes I am in a long distance relationship with someone overseas, I am in Jamaica and she is in the US.... We had our first real fight last night and I’m still hurting we almost broke up.

I know that feeling. It gets better. My SO and I had a huge fight in 2017. Hurt a lot. It took a huge toll on me, felt like a sinking hole was in my chest for well over a month.

I recovered much quicker than her, but she had trouble doing the same. Eventually, overtime we got through it, but both me and her had our share of relapses throughout, full of conflicting feelings. The forgiveness is one thing, letting go, accepting what happened, and jumping the broom together is another

In an LDR with someone overseas too. I'm in the US and she's in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (East Carribean).

We've tried to meet quite a few times.

In July we hit our three year anniversary. We haven't met in person yet due to different circumstances.

First trip planned in 2017 I paid for the tickets but she couldn't go due to her school schedule changing up (unfortunately airliners refuse refunds even months out) so we were screwed there. Out nearly $1000 USD!

Second trip plan December 2018 she surprised me over phone that she bought herself plane tickets to come see me given the value is three times as much there due to the US to EC exchange. So she had to to save nearly three times as much just to break-even.

Unfortunately due to an address discrepancy on my end and her visa, they turned her away. On top of us going through a major rough patch at the time, just made things outright heartbreaking.

Now I'm buying her a ticket planned in July 2019 for our third anniversary. Third time's the charm after all! But this time my personal finances are in a MUCH better place!

One other technical time we tried was when she first came to the US for med schoo in 2016l, but it became far too costly even with her scholarship due to cost of living (she was in North Carolina at the time) and I was in the army preparing to take leave to South Carolina to pass on through. Of course we discussed rather her leaving the country would be an issue and we decided to stay together, fast forward to the present.

So wish us luck! Also submitted my passport the other day, because I want to visit her Christmas season, but haven't discussed it with her yet.


Want to have us take trips and visits every 6 months but next time I want to head there to the Carribean. Trouble is individusl tickets cost nearly $1000 USD total, depending on availability and at time of purchase. So I think this is much more manageable than every few months or weeks like same country ldr couple's.

As for your other questions, it depends. On it being a trick, If you and your partner are keeping the nature of your relationship a secret to each other and others, especially on what the two want out it (or straight-up carfishing), maybe.

To prevent catfishing, akwsys consider video chatting (full body, well-lit) and having a few up-to-date pictures showing they are who they say they are (work, school, casual, etc.) Once you're relationship is at that level where you can entrust it to one another.
