    oh wow this is really inspiring :). how often did you two see each other and how long were your visits? I am actually just at the beginning of the long distance relationship with my bf and i'll be away in school in the UK for 7 years and he lives in Florida. We were together 9 months before i had to leave. I hope it can work out with us too.

    Hello everyone, for some reason I never got the notices that there were messages on here until today. :(

    So really quick, getting family ready for the move is hard but usually they understand that you are growing up and making decisions for yourself. Some family members may try to make you feel bad, but if you know this is what you want...do it.



    Another couple with 7 years, awesome! :) Congrats. I was 23 when we got married he had just turned 24. I think we were ready, I think as long as both partners are ready there is not reason to not settle down (of course factoring in money and visas and all of that)



    Ahh! A German and American couple, hello :) Germans know how to come over and take our hearts huh? ;) Wish you both all the best!



    I'm glad that our relationship is a motivation :) I wish you and your partner all the best. I understand how economical issues get in the way, its not easy. Good luck with the family, I hope they can be understanding and supportive.



    To anyone/everyone, if you have any questions feel free to message me.



    Side note: Husband and I are doing well. We will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary in December :) Its been an interesting road, we have learned to be a "normal" couple. But we still appreciate our time together because we know what it was like to be apart.

    Thanks for the motivation!



    Me & my bf are going on 6 years but we still haven't been able to meet due to economic reasons on both our ends. We Skype and IM every time we can. Over the past 2 years, our relationship deepened to the point where we both long for and imagine the rest of our life together - and we're both people who didn't believe in online relationships.



    Like cisne, the next biggest hurdle will be breaking the news of our relationship to our respective families, especially mine. They will think I'm nuts and that he's up to no good even though 6 years and costly plane tickets is a LONG time to wait to harm someone.



    While we have plans to meet, live together and perhaps eventually marry, the future is fluid and anything may happen despite the certain feelings we have shared for 2 years already.



    I really hope our story has a happy ending like yours. :)

    Thank you for your story, it's truly encouraging! Now I'm feeling really excited since I'm going to meet this special guy in just a few weeks. We met around 3 years ago and after lots of hours on Skype and some ups and downs we will finally meet in my country. We also have plans for the future, like me going to live with him (and that's 12,000km away from my homeland) and travelling together. I'm aware this would turn to be a huge sacrifice from my part as I would have to leave my life in this place, but on the other hand I think it's totally necessary if I want happiness to happen. Anyway, I'd like to ask you, what could I do to get my parents "ready" for this? I'm an only child and they don't even suspect about these plans. For sure they will think I'm absolutely crazy, but they'll have to know about this pretty soon.
