Hi, my name is Alex. I live in California and currently a student at FIDM. I'm in a wonderful relationship with the love of my life that lives about 5,438 miles away...but I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. He has given me so much confidence and amazing memories that I will cherish for this life time. ....and I'm Sam! I live in the Leeds, England. When I first met my Al in January 2013 with goofy teeth and crazy hair I developed a crush on her...and 12 months later I still can fall for her every day. We decided to make this blog to keep record of our life and to share it with anyone that cares. Also, to maybe help some others that are in long distance relationships too...because its worth it.
I just got to find your tumblr. I loved your story and all the pics you have together. I’m from Brazil and my boyfriend is from England too (studied in Leeds, btw!) It’s always good to see happy couples in LDR. I wish you all the best ❤️ keep in love.
Hi :) I just found your page and was hoping if I could get some advice, my bf lives in England as well and I live in New Hampshire, I feel like we're barely communicating, only a few messages a day because of how busy he is but is someone that busy? Idk I've been getting paranoid feeling like he's met someone else that he could invest his time into or he just simply doesn't care for me anymore :( and how do you manage to visit your bf because of money, flights and stuff, thank you so much!
Hey! It's sam :-) When I read about LDR some of the 'key to success' is communication and to trust the other person...I do think it is key. Without communication...well there kind of isnt a relationship as it is primarily based on just texting and video calling. I think you should ask him what he wants from the relationship because you both have to want to same thing. Make sure he knows that you don't want to waste your time and you're in it for the long run. Regarding loyalty...well I would ask him about what he wants to do with the relationship first. I wouldn't confront him about what you think because he may just be very busy. But I don't think that is an excuse to not talk to you. And how do we see each other? Well the last couple times I've flown to see Alex...I get some help from my parents with paying as in I don't get christmas or birthday presents, and then I work when I can and save up! But we both know where we want to go with this relationship so the flights and cost is only short term really. All worth it.Let us know how it goes.Sam
You know I want to say I love your page. I used to talk to a guy in England and I loved him very much and I also live in California... But we don't talk anymore... Your page makes me wonder what it would be like if it worked out and if I didn't fuck up... I hope you guys have amazing memories together and please please please always love and appreciate each other ... It's the little things we take for granted
Thank You! We have let it down and not posted it AGES but we are so busy...I know long distance demands a lot and you have to be fully committed to doing your best for the relationship..and I guess sometimes it can get too much for one another. I believe it soul mates and you WILL find that one..maybe they're on the other side of the world, maybe in your city, maybe your neighbour! Everything works for a reason so treat you past LDR as an experience you won't forget..it is a part of your life! Look forward to the next relationship and if you just feel like he was the one..go for him. - Samuel
ldr!!we been in love & together the whole of summer in America then she left for England where she's from in August for another 4 months!!we spent Christmas together in England with her family after the 4 months now she's in Aussie for another 6 months and am off to Africa for another 6 months!!i love her so much but it's starting to hurt both of us and feel awkward!! What do I do??i want her so much in my life !!we plan of living together in New York after the 6 months but I can't see hope !!
If it is meant to be it will be! If it feels awkward I think you should really try openly talk to each other (not via text..skype/FaceTime?) because being in an LDR relationship requires long term commitment...so you have to both be wanting it so much you'll wait. Be open with each other and know where one another is wanting to go in the future! Let us know how it goes!
Hello, I'm the anonymous that messaged you both about a month ago. Unfortunately, we don't have a tumblr (but maybe we should get one?...) so hence the anonymity again. Essentially we met on holiday in the summer of 2012 in Cancun, Mexico, but were both with different people. Somehow, despite the odds, we stayed in touch and when i broke up with my boyfriend in January 2014 and we were both now single, we grew a lot closer and it just happened. I'm now 19, he's 20, and we're seeing each on Dec17
Hey! No way I'm seeing Alex December 18th! Where you guys seeing each other?
Ughh I'm so happy to finally find someone else in the same situation! My man is in San Francisco, California and I'm in London, England. I've found so many UK-East Coast relationships, but none all the way to the West Coast. People just don't get the eight hour time difference, ya feel me? So how did you two meet?
Hey! It is comforting knowing others are going through what you are too! Time difference sucks! It's funny, I received the notification of your question after Alex had said "F time difference"! It is the worst when I miss talking to Alex in the morning on weekends as 8-9am (UK) is 12-1am (West coast)...so I have to go half a day without being able to see how her afternoon was...but we send each other messages as we are doing things throughout the day as if we were there with each other..so I do feel like I've been a part of her days even if I'm physically not! So our story? We really should write something and post a link each time! We officially met January 3rd 2013 while on the Hollywood hike with a mutual friend..we had talked prior to that but that was the first time we had met. We got really close between then and April 2013 and she came skiing with me and my family in Colorado and I went back for a week to LA after that! So we say we have been dating since April 1st 2013 (APRIL FOOLS) as well..that's when we started really! And since then it's been July-August 2013 she visited England, Christmas 2013 I went to stay there, June - August 2014 we spent a summer in LA and I'm visiting for Christmas again this year!Glad we found another LDR from UK to CALI! Who are you? What's your story?
