me and my fiance have to be separated from Bangkok 1 week earlier than our plan, after being 1 year working and holiday together bcause he has to come back to the US before they close ALL the borders. Now we're long distanced, Indonesia - US, so far away..... telling I love you and I miss you without seeing and touching each other is too hard to be true...... thanks though!
It’s only been a month and I’m losing my mind. My anxiety is through the roof these days. You guys are so lucky to be spending this difficult time together.
Please, please guys make sure you self isolate and only get out of the house if it's absolutely essential. This isn't because of you as you're most likely young and healthy, but because you may pass it onto someone who may not get over it easily / if at all.
You are so lucky, that you are self isolating together... Me and my boyfriend ment to meet for the first time in the middle of May, but I'm not sure anymore that it will happen. Should we cancel the flights and hotel??? He lives in France and I'm in Ireland. We wish that we knew when this stupid situation will be over
Somehow its relieving to know I am not the only one in this situation, I miss my boyfriend so much, not knowing when I will see him makes me sad. We all have to stay strong
Im so happy i’m not the only one living this horrible feeling right now.. Me snd my boyfriend were supposed to have a 2 week vacation after not seeing eachother for a while. It got cancelled and we are both stuck in our own countries with closed borders and no option to see eachother 😭
@@mahoganywhiskey4296 yea and our countries are neighbours and it sucks that they are basically so close to each other yet you just cannot cross 1 border...
I think everyone in the comments are missing the main priority. If your partner is healthy then be grateful! Seeing them isn’t as important as them being alive and healthy. Hopefully the coronavirus clears soon, we should more grateful to our normal daily lives.
It's so hard that i gonna cancel my flight to see my bf in Germany and might need to wait for few more months, it's so tough! We are at least 5900 miles away 😔😔
I’m living in Canada and my Boyfriend in Germany as well. He was supposed to be here on April 5th but since the borders closed he had to cancel.. I have a flight there on June 19 let’s just hope I can get there🤞🏻 praying for you guys!
I have the same problem... My boyfriend lives in Germany and he almost gets a job in Japan where I live. We've waited almost a year to get the opportunity to work in Japan and he already quit his job and now this. I cannot guess when can we meet again and when can he get a job again in Japan.
Guys... You are so lucky... I've been 7months, nearly 8, away from my love. He has booked for June in September. We're so anxious that after all the waiting we might have to postpone or meeting. HOPEFULLY not. I hope it is alright for you about visa and stuff. Good luck for all the other couples out there with tight hearts right now. And thank you too for caring.
Juliana Aguiar exact the same situation as me.. I haven’t seen my bf in like 9 months ago and we should supposed to see each other 😞 all we do if fight now
I understand uncertainty is effecting you, but you’re together ❤️ stay safe! You’re both incredibly lucky! most people in long distance relationships can’t be with their partners, just reading the comments and also me personally. My flight was cancelled to see my boyfriend in three weeks, we came up with a contingency plan for him to drive up to me but now we’re on lockdown I can’t be with him. I live on my own 😭 so I’m incredibly isolated. FaceTime is a blessing but it’s like riding a wave with my anxiety. I don’t think your video is meant to come across as ungrateful but just be with each, switch off and enjoy it! Sending love and positivity 💕
I haven’t seen my boyfriend at all and I fear I never will... I’ve rejected all males that wanted a relationship with me that were in the same country/region as me and it’s been so hard to cope and not know whether or not we will see each other at all...i pray I will see him eventually! Even today bizarrely I had dreams regarding being with my loved one we spent time together it was really nice...while it lasted then I awoke 😭
My bf and I are in the same county at least, but now still separated until this whole situation calms down. We actually planned to finally see each other again after over a month on Friday, but in the end my bf felt a bit sick and it was safer for him (and me) to stay at home. We really hoped that we'd get the chance to be together through this whole thing and not knowing when it will be over is just devastating. But we talk every day and doing our best to stay strong. My thoughts go out to all the other couples in a similar situation and I also hope you guys will soon figure out what to do! I wish you all the best ❤️
It's hard! Me and my girlfriend live in the same district. But her daughter has asthma, so it s safer to not see each other. At least until this situation in controled. I've been at home since the beginning of March. It's really hard.
I was supposed to meet my boyfriend for the first time in early April.. Now we don't know when the travel ban will end. 😔 I'm buying long distance gifts to ease the pain of the distance but it's not enough. At least you guys sre together right now. Stay strong though 💚
The family part and being stuck in another country is difficult, so I'm not saying anyone has it easy buuuuut you might be getting some outlash comments because many of us who are in LDRs are now in the position of also having no idea what's going to happen aaaaand we are having to deal with it while our partner is thousands of miles away, across borders which are now closed, and no definitive answer as to when we'll see our loved ones again. We're merely saying that we envy your position being able to go through this with your partner physically by your side. Mine and my partner's distance was months from finally coming to a close because their visa is processing and we had an endgame but now who knows. Would gladly take being in the same house during this time over what we are currently going through. Love to all ♥️
We put our K-1 Visa application in at the start of March. My Fiancée was supposed to fly from Kentucky to England next month. That's likely to not happen. The timeline for our visa is now up in the air, and I doubt I'll be over to get married in October. (October would normally have been more than enough time to get the Visa approved and move over to America). I made a video on how to help those affected... especially in LDRs
Hey, i'm in a similar situation myself with my Indonesian fiance who lives in Japan and i'm over here in Georgia USA. The interview for the K1 was scheduled for the 30th of this month but they canceled the appointment around the 18th of this month. I was very upset but literally there is no point in giving up. Stay strong, we will get through this and much luck to you both!
@@GabrielRodriguez-um8fi Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! At least you haven't been given the visa and the clock is ticking down on the 6 months to use it. Stay strong.You'll get through!
@@GabrielRodriguez-um8fi The visa is good for 90 days once he's in the country. But from approval to moving over, you have 6 months. The 90 days doesn't start until he passes through the airport. :)
I'm from Canada my love is from the U.S hopefully this temporary ban is truly 30 days as they say.. I'm so jealous of people who are with their loved one's right now😭 wish I had left earlier. I rather be stuck with him in this than be alone
Aaliyah Hughes I’m in a similar situation with my fiancé. It’s stressful and upsetting and I know we should not give up. But if you’re the slightest bit a conspiracy theorist and have come to see most things that have been predicted come to happen. Then I urge you to watch this link: czcams.com/video/1JLBXfKDbbI/video.html&feature=emb_logo By the look of things. This might stretch out for another year to a year and a half (plus minus 18more months) wether we like to make jokes about it or not. The new world order is year and through covid19. I don’t fear the virus it’s the new government during and after the pandemic that has me worried. Let’s get ready for National ID cards, mandatory vaccines, etc. The worlds never going to be the same peeps :(
Almost same situation, my boyfriend lives in Canada and me in Mexico so I feel that I’m never going to see him again in long time so, and like you, I wish I will go before that all this happens
There is a guy who predicted the corona virus back in 1981 his name is Dean Koontz he is still alive to this day at an age of 74. The book is called The Eyes of Darkness and he wrote that there was a doctor name "Li Chen" the Doctor in China who sadly passed away was named "Li" and something else, but not "Chien" but he wrote "They call the stuff 'Wuhan-400' because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside the city of Wuhan, and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at that research center." So not everything here is correct obviously, but the Wuhan is correct, and he also wrote "In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments”. That one is true, he also wrote that "Wuhan 400 is the perfect weapon" that it cant affect animals, which it kinda can. But Dean didnt predict 100% but still he got the "2020" part right and the city which is kinda creepy.
I appreciate you both for this video. I haven’t been able to see my LDR partner since last November and this covid-19 situation has definitely been affecting our relationship. It does suck that we don’t know when we get to see each other next, but it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone going through this. Hope we all gather strength and control how we react to things that are just out of our control. Please stay safe and healthy.
As many here have said, so are my boyfriend and I stuck apart from each other. I was supposed to arrive a week ago but obviously my flights got cancelled and both our countries have a travel ban. I honestly wish I'd be stuck with my partner, but I also understand the point that you guys are worried about your families. Let's all just stay strong in this situation. I hope for all the people out there missing a loved one that this will all be over soon. But it just proves how strong love can be... No matter the distance and situation! Stay strong and spread some love!
I was supposed to finally close the distance and move in with my LDR boyfriend in 2 weeks.. his country (understandably) imposed travel bans, though, and I miss him more than anything. Thank you guys for making this video 🌟 stay safe everyone!
You guys were they third thing I thought of when the Corona Virus got bad. 1) the musical I was supposed to see with my friend last Sunday got canceled (“ok, now it’s personal”) 2) my school closing and switching to online (“ow no, I don’t know if I can do this”) 3) the US closing its boarders and you two forced to separate until this virus goes away (“poor Sam and Monica”)
If you do decide not to go home, best thing you can do is contact the home office and see what your options are and go from there. Tell them your situation and am sure it can get sorted
I am in the exact situation, I am here in Canada with my now husband. Was supposed to fly back to the states in the beginning of April. All of my family in Jersey is saying it makes the most sense to stay here. As an American citizen, I am able to stay in the country for another 5 months, plus we are going to be starting the spousal sponsorship, which was the plan before all of this craziness happened. Wishing everyone the best, lots of love and good vibes. Keep your spirits up, may love conquer
Guys don't loose hope.I know that this pandemic situation is really making us stress and immensely we are useless during lockdown and we can't do anything.The only way solution is just to be patient till everything comes back to normal.whereas me too am in the same condition right now long distance.Where he is from Poland and me from India.A mile thousand apart from each other.On last year we met each other on October 2019 .He came here to meet me.Its been 8months completed rightnow .we are missing eachother so much .But we kept praying to God as we pleadge our hope and faith .Keep on praying whoever is having hard time in Long-distance relationship.pray to Him.🙏 Everything will be fine.
be glad you are together at the moment, i´m living in a ldr Germany and Sweden and we are apart from each other since 3 weeks and don´t know when we can potentially see each other again. Just stick together till this whole world madness is over.
She should stay. Please don't separate. My best friend is stuck in France and I can't see her. But luckily her family is there. Also if you separate then you won't see each other for a lot of months. And I absolutely love the channel and hope you guys do good.
I really feel the emotional pain. Living in France and my bf in Korea.. we were supposed to go to Japan together in April and now we don't even know when we will be able to see each other again. But let's not lose hope guys!🙏🏻
I actually met my ldr boyfriend almost 3 months ago, when the whole Corona Virus stuff got really bad. We met on a social media app that i hadnt been on in a year before the CV hit. The only reason i was on was because i was self isolating and figured id check it. Luckily i did :) We are trying to stay on the positive. For example, this gives us more time to save up so we can visit each other, and its one more reason to look forward to when all this craziness is finally over. Try and stay positive everyone and stay healthy!
We've booked for my boyfriend to come over in June so we're just waiting to see when this all finishes and hopefully he can still come over. He's US military so he's still working four 10 hour days and i keep checking on him everyday 🥰❤ We've been together nearly 4 years always long distance so we're keeping calm and looking forward to when this is over
that's the most frustrating thing about this whole situation - there is no solution to anything it's just a try your best/see what happens. but we'll all get through it 💗
My boyfriend and I are having to deal with this aswell. He is in the UK in England while I’m in the US. I had to get on the last flight from the UK to the US on the 16th before the borders were closed. I would have preferred to stay, but I was made to come home as my 6 months had less than a week left. I hate not knowing when I will see my man again! 😩
Thank you so much for posting this. My boyfriend lives in the UK and I am from Ohio, we have been together since 2017. We have been flying back and forth to see each other up until September 2019 when I got accepted to study abroad for a year in London, which is fortunate because he lives only 30 minutes from London. Then all this happened and I had to make the difficult decision on whether to go home to my family or to stay with him. I choose to stay with him but I am fortunate that I am on a student visa so that’s not a big worry for me at the moment. It’s refreshing to know that there are people out there who are in the same boat as me. I couldn’t imagine going through this without him!
Sam and Monica, you guys are such a cute couple! Just found your channel and you guys seem so genuine and kind. Hope you guys resolve your situation. Like many people who have commented in this video, I am one of those who have been separated from my significant other due to this pandemic, so you have inspired us to share our journey on our channel which we recently started. (Thank you for sharing your blog btw).
I am supposed to go see my boyfriend in the end of May, and I am freaking out.. I'm scared my flight will be canceled, I'm in Arizona and he's in Portugal and it's been almost 5 months since we last seen each other. We have 5 flights planned for July and hotels as well as a ticket for Disneyland in Paris for our second year anniversary. I'm so so scared that this whole situation will stop us from going and seeing each other... 🥺. Well good luck to you Sam and Monica, and good luck for all of us in a long distance relationship!!! Let's hope for the best!❤
This virus sucks. it’s turning pretty much any and all relationships long distance if you can’t live with your partner to the time being. I live 5 minutes away from my boyfriend but I’m not able to see him. It’s really good to see you two staying positive and giving tips. Thanks so much ❤️❤️
We've been in a long distance relationship for over 3 years, with over 8400km between us. I can say for sure it's not easy but I am here to tell you that it's worth the pain to get that time with them. Keep fighting. We have to wait over one year to see each other but it's definitely possible
This may be affecting me as well since I’m also in a long distance relationship and my boyfriend is American and I’m Scottish so this is so bad for me since we may not be able to meet till we leave school and all that but yh hope everyone does stay safe and wash your hands daily ❤️💕🙏🏻😇😷
Just to let you know, I just came back from Europe to the US. The airports are not crowded as there are so many travel restrictions now (I got through in less than 30 minutes). Also, flights from the UK shouldn't be too expensive as most flights back to the US are flying through the UK anyhow. :) You can always go home and then visit the UK again if you want since there are still flights to and from the UK. Also, not many people on the flights from the UK to the US as only US citizens/permanent residents of the US can be on the plane, so there are plenty of open seats.
I'm new to your channel and found you by TikTok. My boyfriend (American) and me (Canadian) are in this shitty situation. I was suppose to visit my boyfriend the weekend they decided to close the borders between Canada and USA. So it's been now 16 months that we have not seen each other. We are holding strong but this pandemic is giving a lot of stress in general and also, a lot of anxiety in long distance relationship. You guys are lovely and I enjoy watching your vlogs and TikTok. Cheers from Canada!
Sam and Monica feel your pain and emotional I know it’s really hard and tough times you can’t travel a lot cause of this coronavirus just hang in there I’d get better just be happy you guys are together you two always brighten my day every time you posted y’all just stay safe stay strong and stay healthy y’all have my love and support notifications are always on I love you 2 as always!💯⭐️😃❤️❤️
TBH the best situation for LDR couples rn is to be stuck with your partner in this changing times. 🥺 Me and my boyfriend (8,500 miles apart) are closing to 1 year and have planned to meet this June for the first time. I literally have my ticket nooow. There’s no travel bans with each of our countries; but with all of this going on, I don’t know if I should push through. 🥺🥺
You guys will get through this, I know you will. It definitely is a hard time for all of us and you guys are taking the necessary steps to stay safe. Love you guys❤️
It is really hard with this pandemic. After 2 years of planning and saving to see my fiance i gotta wait longer because of this. I yearn for a hug from him so much. Just hope this clears up soon, cuz I really need that hug. Stay safe everyone
@@ellebelle6439 even though we video chat all the time, i still cry myself to sleep most nights and wake wondering why he is not beside me in bed. I love him without end.
This video is like air for me right now. In my country we can’t leave our city starting on Monday. Me and my bf would see each other on thurday so this sucks and i feel pretty hopeless now. Thank you for this video guys, we love you ❤️
Omg same!!!! My fiancé is in Canada and I’m in India 🙁🙁 we are literally living off FaceTime. We miss each other so so so terribly. My fiancé is an Indian citizen however since he’s in Canada and since at the moment, India is not allowing to land any international flight , we’re totally unsure as to when we’re going to see each other. The situation sucks so much. Also Canada has closed the borders as well whether it’s for a tourist visa or whatever. It’s been a month already that I’ve seen him. We have our wedding planned this May 2020. Me and my fiancé are really really hoping that things get okay atleast by June so that we can finally have our wedding then because we both sooo don’t want to postpone it any further than June.
Also like have you guys had nights where you want to sleep, but you’re missing your partner so much that you don’t want to sleep and do all is just talk to them? I am having that kind of night right now 😔
My boyfriend was supposed to move in April 25th. Due to the virus we had to cancel. He was going to drive but Virginia closed it’s roads and boarders. So we’re just really hurt honestly. 😔 We’re praying this is over soon.
I was actually thinking about the two of you the other day when all of this madness began hitting here in the states. I hope it all works out for you. As I've been telling everyone I know, I've lived alone for almost a decade and worked from home for six years, so I barely even notice any difference...
I was very fortunate to be able to fly back to the states from the Middle East a week ago and it took 47 hrs for four flights. Fortunately, there weren't many lines/cue in the airports though. I feel for you all and our UK family that are all stuck in lock down in the UK. Make the most of the time you have together though as we are. Unfortunately, I will have to go back to our LDR for work once this clears up.
I'm from the Netherlands and me and my family are already more than 1,5 week in self isolation. Not leaving the house at all because my brother has cancer so he is a high risk case... Hoping the situation will be better soon! Stay strong you guyss!
You are both great ! Thank you for sharing :) Monica, my advice to you without sounding negative is to head back to the United States since they ordered all their citizens to return and USA travel advise is now on a level 4 Do Not Travel. Do you have healthcare in the UK? You may also risk an overstay when you apply for marriage residency in future - and if the UK immigration know that the USA advised its citizens to return home due to a global health crisis, and you ignored the advice, you may risk an overstay and may need an immigration lawyer at some point to support your application down the line if you face future problems. For the sake of a clean immigration record with UK tourist obligations, you should go back to the USA to avoid problems in future and just believe you will both see each other again, or risk an overstay which will be on your record because if you surpass your stay beyond the timeframe, you have committed an overstayed on your tourist visa. All the best love
I got sent home from my study abroad early and I was studying abroad where my ldr boyfriend lives. We thought we would have 6 months of temporary distance closing but we only had 2:( trying to stay positive and safe so we can see each other soon. Good luck to you two❤️ Thank you for inspiring me
Sophie Ballou this was my exact same situation I was going to study abroad in South Korea and be with my ldr boyfriend and unfortunately was only able to stay for a week :(
I was finally going to see my boyfriend for the first time April 1st, and it of course got cancelled 💔 We're extremely sad but we're trying to stay positive... At least I was able to reschedule for May💜
I left the UK a week ago when they said to i left my fiancee mid trip and also wedding planning and my flight was absolutely empty. and I don’t have the money to just put out on flights i work a 9-5 job making $9 but i knew i could be risking her visa by staying and my welcome back to the country also. I feel like the grown up thing to do is go home. I’m 22 years old and realized i’m putting a lot of things at risk by staying. Unfortunately i’m not as nearly as privileged as the either of you, so i took out a loan to book my flight home. The sooner people do what the government advises the sooner this goes away. Not knowing when you’re gonna see each other again is in the name of the game.
Same here...my boyfriend was about to come from States in Europe in our home country for 2 weeks yesterday...I was so devastated after the ban...I haven’t seen him since Christmas...I will see him probably in September (the only time I can go to states)😞😭😭😭
Just came back to the US from being in Japan for a year while being in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend. Since I came back I haven't had the chance to see him and I don't the next time that I will. We live an hour away from each other, but we're also trying to be careful with each other and our families so we're not potentially putting others at risk.
Oh my gosh!!! You two are the best. I can’t believe I just found y’all! My boyfriend and I are doing long distance from Texas and Canada so of course we don’t know when we’re gonna see each other 😔. But if anything our communication is amazing and we are being positive. I love seeing ldrs like this ❤️ stay safe
Thank you for this video Sam and Monica! I haven’t finished watching this video yet but it is really reassuring to hear another worried couple as I have been quite worried myself too 😘
I’m Japanese and I’m in a relationship with American BF. My country has started travel ban. Travel restriction is really really bad. It makes me sad and mad every day. My country is exclusion of foreigners rn. Sometimes it is tired to think about when I can see my BF. Because everything depends on Japanese government. Stress stress. If I can’t see my BF on this year, I will have to wait for a long time. I haven’t seen him for 8 months.
guys I can't understand you more... those times are really stressful and even more when it involves long distance relationship problem. I am french and currently in New Zealand for my studies, I met a guy 1 month before the lockdown, and I am supposed to go back home in France whenever the lockdown ends and flights are available, because I need to complete my studies in France. We have an amazing connection and we actually really would like this relationship to work in the future and we would like to reunite in Canada next year, but those times are so stressful and for weeks we didn't know when I was gonna go back, if we can ever reunite in the future because of immigration situations and visa...
I'm from Switzerland and currently still here in the US to see my bf, but i have to leave in three days. I was supposed to come back April 27th, but i'm so scared that the travel ban will last a lot longer than this... we've done over three months not seeing each other before, but we always had a date to look forward to. Now leaving without knowing when i'll be able to come back is killing me.
Well hi guys , hi everyone .. Well me and my Belgium fiancée were supposed to get married this week and remembering this makes want to hit my head against a brick wall till it blows up , i mean it hurts knowing that i can't see her in i don't know how long , it's been almost 3 months i didn't see her since our 4 year anniversary and i'm honestly feeling so jealous that u guys could spend this hard time together while i can't !! just stay safe and stay beautiful both of you , just wish me and my angel luck and courage to be able to be patient about this long distance and long time no see relationship !!!
My lovely boyfriend from the Netherlands was planning a trip to visit me in America on May 9th, realistically we do not think this will happen. It breaks my heart and I genuinely wish he would be able to come, but safety comes first. Spreading a virus is not going to help anyone, here is to a few more months of waiting...
I'm stuck in Hong Kong and my fiance in Sweden, I haven't seen him 2 months already and I miss him so so so much, I was planning to go to Sweden end of April, hope the border will open soon, I really hope to stuck with him....
I've been with my SO for 2 years & we had planned on meeting for the first time in August (Aus to Fra). But now... We don't know when we'll meet. We've had such bad luck when trying to meet, but we're staying strong for each other.
I think the ban would be lifted by then, I hope so. I was supposed to meet mine in April for the first time but now the only next time we're both free is july or January next year! So i really hope the travel ban lifts otherwise I have to wait until next year! Good luck to yous and stay safe
@@ellebelle6439 That's what we're hoping for too. But we're also being cautious & thinking about the "what ifs" too. As soon as it's safe to travel, I'll be on one of the first flights out! Good luck to everyone else who has to wait to see their SO's as well. ❤️
I'm in love with someone from France, he was going to visit me in Australia this march and then I was going to go there for summer :( I'm not giving up on us though, I love him and have hope that it will work out. Good luck to you as well :)
I was hoping to fly down to Texas to see my boyfriend over spring break or for prom. Really sad our senior year in high school is being limited. Though, we are still calling and trying to make the most of it. Thank you two for uploading, I love watching you guys.
omg a new video YES! I found your channle a few days ago and wow I love you guys :) thank you for keeping us Entertained duing quarantine, you are amazing
I’m from Russia and my boyfriend is from Germany. He flew back home in the beginning of March. He wanted to see me again in the end of May while I’ll have my exams in university but it’s suddenly became uncertain. I also wanted to make long-term visa this summer and move in with him but it’s also became uncertain :( It’s very hard to not know when I’m gonna see my love again but I believe that everything will be fine soon. Stay strong, guys
This is the first video of yours I've watched (although I've been following you both for months!) and I'm so glad you've made this video. I've been struggling to come to terms with my boyfriend not being able to fly to Australia from the UK this week. I'm also gonna join the fb group and try to add him to it, it might help us both hearing from other people in similar situations. I'm glad you guys get to go through this together for the time being though!
I have a friend that was in japan and the airline told her to make plans to come home the next day and later that day the airline called back and told her they had a flight leaving that day and she had to leave immediately, If you time their is about up it might be wise to leave and come back to the USA and you can always call the US embassy there and ask them what you best option is. But what ever happens you two stay safe.
Gosh I'm glad I'm not alone on this because its hard. I was meant to see him this week and France closed the border. Hope this will be over soon because we need our normal life
In a long distance relationship for two years, our wedding was planned to be this Summer. Wedding and everything got postponed "until further notice" & we don't even know when we will even see each other... extremely difficult.
The nice part is as well as being together during this global travel ban, you both have visa-free access (90 days to the US on the visa waiver program, 180 to the UK) to each other's countries as US and UK citizens respectively. I am Taiwanese and my partner is Vietnamese. We've been in a LDR 3 months. I can visit her country easier than she can visit mine, but we both need visas for each others' countries. I (TW citizen) can get 3-month multiple entry visas on arrival to Vietnam, while Taiwan will only allow her as a VN citizen to see me for 14 days on a tourist visa, which is only good a single time and she has to apply for a new visa every time she wants to visit Taiwan. Moreover, both our governments banned foreigners from entering due to this disease. Unfortunately, our LDR has been dying down the past few days. It used to be daily messaging and video calls, from our last visit. For the last 4-5 days, she's been either giving me one-word answers or not responding at all. I have no choice but to wait for her reply, as she's been unusually quiet. The responses I receive from her are now reduced to "I'm busy [with work]", "I'm sick", or "bad headache", or "stressed out because I'm losing my job". Any advice? By the way, rejoice every day because your countries' visa requirements are far easier, and that you are both physically together!
me too ): my LDR boyfriend and i were supposed to meet for the first time on the 27th and stay for like a week but now it’s postponed until we don’t know how long ): it really sucks but i promise you we can all get through this
Stay where you are, even if you face any sorts of legal issues later but safety is first than any legal issues you may face later. Don't travel at the moment to save your self by getting into people who may be already infected by this virus. And NYC's position is some where else when it comes to the number of infected cases as far as I know it went up to 10000+ !! Give me a ♥️ if you guys have read this comment 😀.
I’m sure if you were in the U.K. longer then you were supposed to that you would not get in trouble! They should let that go with the current circumstances! I would stay out there but definitely get that answer ASAP! Contact somebody!! Because they are giving you the opportunity to go home! So just make sure you would be okay if you did get stuck there till end of summer let’s say! Good luck! It’s crazy here in Florida and it’s stressful but think positive! Love you guys!
I "met" my ldr girlfriend on a dating website, 6 months ago, around the time that my dad passed away, her dad passed away 3 years before. The funny thing about how our relationship started was I was giving up on finding anyone, online or offline. And i was sharing my experience through my profile of what to look out for if a scammer contacts you on the dating sites. My gf messaged me telling me she appreciated my tips. I was unsure if she was real or not. She is from Brazil and very very attractive, so i had my suspicions. Seemed qtoo gqood to be true, and you know what they say about that. It took a long time and a lot of patience on both our parts , time reveals a lot. We have a lot in common. But we have some differences too. We are bipolar opposites attract type couple, literally! Our birthdays are even exactly 6 months apart on the day! We have a language barrier we are working on online, our economic status is rough on both sides. And now this whole plannedemic (yes it is planned) has put a big hold on her even trying to earn money for her family, let alone to come see me so we can see if it is a real thing between us. We have been able to slowly get to know each other on many levels. But there have been some hardships and we almost broke it off a couple times, but we worked it out and we just continue to tutor each other with language lessons i am learning Portuguese and her, English, this is what helps bond us, but i think although with my suspicions initially,, we always had a certain connection besides visual attraction. We have a lot of laughs together learning each others language. It is hard to share some intimate moments while her children are in the house, but we find ways to keep it fresh as we possibly can. We Do little nice gestures for each other. But the one thing that is driving us both crazy is that we can't touch each other and hold each other. I want this more than anything, but my circumstances do not make it possible, even before the #plannedemic, to travel to her, and hers were rough to come see me. Yet we are still together and in love. We just want to be together now. We even wrote physical postal letters to each other, to try to have that connection that at least we can touch what the other had their hands on. This further helped create a stronger bond. We have written a second physical letter, getting ready to send. We have no idea how long it will take to receive it. But worth the effort! Especially in the digital age where texting is popular. You might be able to see and hear, but touch and smell are left out. I can feel her in her letter that she touched. If we are together like this after even a year, i would say that alone shows a true commitment and bond between us.
Monica should contact the US Embassy, explain your situation and your concern about traveling. I suspect the UK government will relax the rule for this emergency and the fact that you guys are in isolation helps.
stuck away from my partner :( he may only live 10 minutes away but he’s not allowed to go out or have anyone over since my city went into complete lockdown :/ but it’s good practice for when we’re going to be long distance beginning in January
Sadly, even being married doesn’t necessarily help. My husband and I are currently separated due to this B.S., and even though I’m technically excluded from the U.S. travel ban, and he is technically excluded from the European travel ban, our visas/ESTAs/Travel documents for the respective countries both got revoked the second the travel bans took effect. Getting a new visa for both respective countries is currently impossible, both countries have stopped processing all kinds of visas all together, and consulates/embassies run on reduced hours and are emergencies (as in death or crime related instances regarding citizens) only. No chance of getting anyone on the phone or an appointment for either of us. I was literally about to board a plane when they revoked my esta, and security personnel had to escort me out of the plane and back through security out of the airport. Knowing that I was this close is so frustrating. I would’ve had the chance to fly a day earlier, hence avoiding the travel ban, for an upgrade onto a business seat though. Since I didn’t just have 2k to spend on such notice out out of pocket, that wasn’t possible....to say both my husband and me are absolutely heartbroken and furious would be an understatement. I am praying this B.S. is actually over April 30th, but the analytical part of my brain is telling me otherwise....here’s to hoping!
i said i wouldn't do long distance again and then I met someone at. uni - I live in surrey and he lives in north wales, and we have been spending almost every day together for 2 months - then when the lockdown was announced on Monday, we thought we had 4 more days together and suddenly there were 2 hours and we had to go. i was worried about getting trapped away from my family but at the same time wanted to be with him; its a very difficult situation and I hope you're both doing ok xxx
Stay strong to anyone who’s dealing with the coronavirus and their relationship 😭
thanx we are trying but damn i miss my gf seeing her on the cam isnt the same :(
@@markvanharen9413 Word! It's never the same.
me and my fiance have to be separated from Bangkok 1 week earlier than our plan, after being 1 year working and holiday together bcause he has to come back to the US before they close ALL the borders. Now we're long distanced, Indonesia - US, so far away..... telling I love you and I miss you without seeing and touching each other is too hard to be true...... thanks though!
❤
Frustrated, 😞
It’s only been a month and I’m losing my mind. My anxiety is through the roof these days. You guys are so lucky to be spending this difficult time together.
I hope you are doing better now ❤️
Please, please guys make sure you self isolate and only get out of the house if it's absolutely essential. This isn't because of you as you're most likely young and healthy, but because you may pass it onto someone who may not get over it easily / if at all.
Sam and Monica it’s a pretty great group!! Everyone should join!
Thanks for this :))
You are so lucky, that you are self isolating together...
Me and my boyfriend ment to meet for the first time in the middle of May, but I'm not sure anymore that it will happen. Should we cancel the flights and hotel??? He lives in France and I'm in Ireland. We wish that we knew when this stupid situation will be over
Call and talk to some one at the us embassy there
Somehow its relieving to know I am not the only one in this situation, I miss my boyfriend so much, not knowing when I will see him makes me sad. We all have to stay strong
Im so happy i’m not the only one living this horrible feeling right now.. Me snd my boyfriend were supposed to have a 2 week vacation after not seeing eachother for a while. It got cancelled and we are both stuck in our own countries with closed borders and no option to see eachother 😭
same :(
I hope they open the borders soon... I heard it might be closed till July and thats TOOO long
I'm crying writing this because I am in the same position.... I Dont know what to do anymore
@@mahoganywhiskey4296 yea and our countries are neighbours and it sucks that they are basically so close to each other yet you just cannot cross 1 border...
Linda Violet same im in holland while he is in france ..
I think everyone in the comments are missing the main priority. If your partner is healthy then be grateful! Seeing them isn’t as important as them being alive and healthy. Hopefully the coronavirus clears soon, we should more grateful to our normal daily lives.
this whole situation is so unpredictable and anxiety inducing 😭 hope everyone is hanging in there and know you’re not alone!!!
It's so hard that i gonna cancel my flight to see my bf in Germany and might need to wait for few more months, it's so tough! We are at least 5900 miles away 😔😔
I’m living in Canada and my Boyfriend in Germany as well. He was supposed to be here on April 5th but since the borders closed he had to cancel.. I have a flight there on June 19 let’s just hope I can get there🤞🏻 praying for you guys!
I have the same problem. My boyfriend is currently in Germany and I was planning to go there at the end of April. I am not sure it is possible anymore
I have the same problem... My boyfriend lives in Germany and he almost gets a job in Japan where I live.
We've waited almost a year to get the opportunity to work in Japan and he already quit his job and now this.
I cannot guess when can we meet again and when can he get a job again in Japan.

Guys... You are so lucky...
I've been 7months, nearly 8, away from my love. He has booked for June in September. We're so anxious that after all the waiting we might have to postpone or meeting. HOPEFULLY not. I hope it is alright for you about visa and stuff. Good luck for all the other couples out there with tight hearts right now.
And thank you too for caring.
Juliana Aguiar exact the same situation as me.. I haven’t seen my bf in like 9 months ago and we should supposed to see each other 😞 all we do if fight now
Is*
I keep coming back to this video because I’m still trying to be encouraged 😞. Praying for all of us dealing with the distance.
I understand uncertainty is effecting you, but you’re together ❤️ stay safe! You’re both incredibly lucky! most people in long distance relationships can’t be with their partners, just reading the comments and also me personally. My flight was cancelled to see my boyfriend in three weeks, we came up with a contingency plan for him to drive up to me but now we’re on lockdown I can’t be with him. I live on my own 😭 so I’m incredibly isolated. FaceTime is a blessing but it’s like riding a wave with my anxiety. I don’t think your video is meant to come across as ungrateful but just be with each, switch off and enjoy it! Sending love and positivity 💕
You guys help me so much, I'm still kinda new to this whole long-distance relationship thing and watching you guys is so helpful!
It's affecting mine too:( I don't know when I'm seeing my partner next because of it. It hurts but I'm hoping I'll be back with him soon❤
I haven’t seen my boyfriend at all and I fear I never will...
I’ve rejected all males that wanted a relationship with me that were in the same country/region as me and it’s been so hard to cope and not know whether or not we will see each other at all...i pray I will see him eventually! Even today bizarrely I had dreams regarding being with my loved one we spent time together it was really nice...while it lasted then I awoke 😭
I hope you are doing much better now x. I haven’t seen my Bf in 6 months now..
My bf and I are in the same county at least, but now still separated until this whole situation calms down. We actually planned to finally see each other again after over a month on Friday, but in the end my bf felt a bit sick and it was safer for him (and me) to stay at home. We really hoped that we'd get the chance to be together through this whole thing and not knowing when it will be over is just devastating. But we talk every day and doing our best to stay strong. My thoughts go out to all the other couples in a similar situation and I also hope you guys will soon figure out what to do! I wish you all the best ❤️
It's hard! Me and my girlfriend live in the same district. But her daughter has asthma, so it s safer to not see each other. At least until this situation in controled. I've been at home since the beginning of March. It's really hard.
Melts my heart how you two are going strong through this situation☹️❤️
:)
My relationship has become long distance because of everything going, I’m not allowed to see my boyfriend now😭 Dont understand how you guys do this!
I was supposed to meet my boyfriend for the first time in early April.. Now we don't know when the travel ban will end. 😔 I'm buying long distance gifts to ease the pain of the distance but it's not enough. At least you guys sre together right now. Stay strong though 💚
The family part and being stuck in another country is difficult, so I'm not saying anyone has it easy buuuuut you might be getting some outlash comments because many of us who are in LDRs are now in the position of also having no idea what's going to happen aaaaand we are having to deal with it while our partner is thousands of miles away, across borders which are now closed, and no definitive answer as to when we'll see our loved ones again. We're merely saying that we envy your position being able to go through this with your partner physically by your side. Mine and my partner's distance was months from finally coming to a close because their visa is processing and we had an endgame but now who knows. Would gladly take being in the same house during this time over what we are currently going through. Love to all ♥️
We put our K-1 Visa application in at the start of March. My Fiancée was supposed to fly from Kentucky to England next month. That's likely to not happen. The timeline for our visa is now up in the air, and I doubt I'll be over to get married in October. (October would normally have been more than enough time to get the Visa approved and move over to America).
I made a video on how to help those affected... especially in LDRs
Hey, i'm in a similar situation myself with my Indonesian fiance who lives in Japan and i'm over here in Georgia USA. The interview for the K1 was scheduled for the 30th of this month but they canceled the appointment around the 18th of this month. I was very upset but literally there is no point in giving up. Stay strong, we will get through this and much luck to you both!
@@GabrielRodriguez-um8fi Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! At least you haven't been given the visa and the clock is ticking down on the 6 months to use it. Stay strong.You'll get through!
@@LoveJonLovell oh yeah thats for sure, the visa is actually good for 90 days but yeah you are highly right. Keep us updated!
@@GabrielRodriguez-um8fi The visa is good for 90 days once he's in the country. But from approval to moving over, you have 6 months. The 90 days doesn't start until he passes through the airport. :)
I am in such a crummy place because of it😔
I'm from Canada my love is from the U.S hopefully this temporary ban is truly 30 days as they say.. I'm so jealous of people who are with their loved one's right now😭 wish I had left earlier. I rather be stuck with him in this than be alone
Aaliyah Hughes I’m in a similar situation with my fiancé. It’s stressful and upsetting and I know we should not give up. But if you’re the slightest bit a conspiracy theorist and have come to see most things that have been predicted come to happen. Then I urge you to watch this link: czcams.com/video/1JLBXfKDbbI/video.html&feature=emb_logo
By the look of things. This might stretch out for another year to a year and a half (plus minus 18more months) wether we like to make jokes about it or not. The new world order is year and through covid19. I don’t fear the virus it’s the new government during and after the pandemic that has me worried. Let’s get ready for National ID cards, mandatory vaccines, etc.
The worlds never going to be the same peeps :(
Almost same situation, my boyfriend lives in Canada and me in Mexico so I feel that I’m never going to see him again in long time so, and like you, I wish I will go before that all this happens
China is coming out of this and it’s been less than four months , best hope is that this is over by May
Jessica Chilton I sooooooo am praying that it does get over by May !! I have planned my wedding in May.
There is a guy who predicted the corona virus back in 1981 his name is Dean Koontz he is still alive to this day at an age of 74. The book is called The Eyes of Darkness and he wrote that there was a doctor name "Li Chen" the Doctor in China who sadly passed away was named "Li" and something else, but not "Chien" but he wrote "They call the stuff 'Wuhan-400' because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside the city of Wuhan, and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at that research center." So not everything here is correct obviously, but the Wuhan is correct, and he also wrote "In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments”. That one is true, he also wrote that "Wuhan 400 is the perfect weapon" that it cant affect animals, which it kinda can. But Dean didnt predict 100% but still he got the "2020" part right and the city which is kinda creepy.
I appreciate you both for this video. I haven’t been able to see my LDR partner since last November and this covid-19 situation has definitely been affecting our relationship. It does suck that we don’t know when we get to see each other next, but it’s comforting to know that I’m not alone going through this. Hope we all gather strength and control how we react to things that are just out of our control. Please stay safe and healthy.
As many here have said, so are my boyfriend and I stuck apart from each other. I was supposed to arrive a week ago but obviously my flights got cancelled and both our countries have a travel ban. I honestly wish I'd be stuck with my partner, but I also understand the point that you guys are worried about your families. Let's all just stay strong in this situation. I hope for all the people out there missing a loved one that this will all be over soon. But it just proves how strong love can be... No matter the distance and situation! Stay strong and spread some love!
I was supposed to finally close the distance and move in with my LDR boyfriend in 2 weeks.. his country (understandably) imposed travel bans, though, and I miss him more than anything. Thank you guys for making this video 🌟 stay safe everyone!
You’ll be together soon! ❤️
Thank you!! I hope so too ♥️
I love how they still look at each other so sweet even though they are clearly frazzled. Such an inspiration!
You guys were they third thing I thought of when the Corona Virus got bad.
1) the musical I was supposed to see with my friend last Sunday got canceled (“ok, now it’s personal”)
2) my school closing and switching to online (“ow no, I don’t know if I can do this”)
3) the US closing its boarders and you two forced to separate until this virus goes away (“poor Sam and Monica”)
If you do decide not to go home, best thing you can do is contact the home office and see what your options are and go from there. Tell them your situation and am sure it can get sorted
I am in the exact situation, I am here in Canada with my now husband. Was supposed to fly back to the states in the beginning of April. All of my family in Jersey is saying it makes the most sense to stay here. As an American citizen, I am able to stay in the country for another 5 months, plus we are going to be starting the spousal sponsorship, which was the plan before all of this craziness happened. Wishing everyone the best, lots of love and good vibes. Keep your spirits up, may love conquer
Guys don't loose hope.I know that this pandemic situation is really making us stress and immensely we are useless during lockdown and we can't do anything.The only way solution is just to be patient till everything comes back to normal.whereas me too am in the same condition right now long distance.Where he is from Poland and me from India.A mile thousand apart from each other.On last year we met each other on October 2019 .He came here to meet me.Its been 8months completed rightnow .we are missing eachother so much .But we kept praying to God as we pleadge our hope and faith .Keep on praying whoever is having hard time in Long-distance relationship.pray to Him.🙏 Everything will be fine.
be glad you are together at the moment, i´m living in a ldr Germany and Sweden and we are apart from each other since 3 weeks and don´t know when we can potentially see each other again. Just stick together till this whole world madness is over.
Im in the exact same situation. It REALLY sucks but we cant do shit about it... Like the distance was not heavy enough 😔🇩🇪🇸🇪
She should stay. Please don't separate. My best friend is stuck in France and I can't see her. But luckily her family is there. Also if you separate then you won't see each other for a lot of months. And I absolutely love the channel and hope you guys do good.
I really feel the emotional pain. Living in France and my bf in Korea.. we were supposed to go to Japan together in April and now we don't even know when we will be able to see each other again. But let's not lose hope guys!🙏🏻
I actually met my ldr boyfriend almost 3 months ago, when the whole Corona Virus stuff got really bad. We met on a social media app that i hadnt been on in a year before the CV hit. The only reason i was on was because i was self isolating and figured id check it. Luckily i did :) We are trying to stay on the positive. For example, this gives us more time to save up so we can visit each other, and its one more reason to look forward to when all this craziness is finally over. Try and stay positive everyone and stay healthy!
4 hours away from my boyfriend, I'm so glad that we met online makes it alot easier.
Spending time on discord flockmod and netflix party really helps me feel close to him again :) good luck out there guys its not the end of the world
We've booked for my boyfriend to come over in June so we're just waiting to see when this all finishes and hopefully he can still come over. He's US military so he's still working four 10 hour days and i keep checking on him everyday 🥰❤
We've been together nearly 4 years always long distance so we're keeping calm and looking forward to when this is over
thank him for his service! ❤️
@@SamAndMonica Thank you ❤❤
that's the most frustrating thing about this whole situation - there is no solution to anything it's just a try your best/see what happens. but we'll all get through it 💗
My boyfriend and I are having to deal with this aswell. He is in the UK in England while I’m in the US. I had to get on the last flight from the UK to the US on the 16th before the borders were closed. I would have preferred to stay, but I was made to come home as my 6 months had less than a week left. I hate not knowing when I will see my man again! 😩
Wow that's so hard we're really sorry to hear that, Hannah :(
Let's just pray it's all over soon and we can go back to our lives :)
Thank you so much for posting this. My boyfriend lives in the UK and I am from Ohio, we have been together since 2017. We have been flying back and forth to see each other up until September 2019 when I got accepted to study abroad for a year in London, which is fortunate because he lives only 30 minutes from London. Then all this happened and I had to make the difficult decision on whether to go home to my family or to stay with him. I choose to stay with him but I am fortunate that I am on a student visa so that’s not a big worry for me at the moment. It’s refreshing to know that there are people out there who are in the same boat as me. I couldn’t imagine going through this without him!
Watching this in 2023 was interesting seeing the optimism thinking it was only a two week ordeal
Phenomenal example of couple of couple faces. Best regards.
Sam and Monica, you guys are such a cute couple! Just found your channel and you guys seem so genuine and kind. Hope you guys resolve your situation. Like many people who have commented in this video, I am one of those who have been separated from my significant other due to this pandemic, so you have inspired us to share our journey on our channel which we recently started. (Thank you for sharing your blog btw).
I am supposed to go see my boyfriend in the end of May, and I am freaking out.. I'm scared my flight will be canceled, I'm in Arizona and he's in Portugal and it's been almost 5 months since we last seen each other.
We have 5 flights planned for July and hotels as well as a ticket for Disneyland in Paris for our second year anniversary. I'm so so scared that this whole situation will stop us from going and seeing each other... 🥺.
Well good luck to you Sam and Monica, and good luck for all of us in a long distance relationship!!! Let's hope for the best!❤
Oh no Katarina that's so scary we're so sorry to hear :(
Stay safe and keep us updated!! Hopefully this will all be over ASAP!
@@SamAndMonica you too stay safe!! And I will keep you guys updated!
oversea flights from america to overseas isnt gonna be allowed to at least the fall
@@NickyD thank you for letting me know. Could you tell me where I can find more info about that? ^^
This virus sucks. it’s turning pretty much any and all relationships long distance if you can’t live with your partner to the time being. I live 5 minutes away from my boyfriend but I’m not able to see him. It’s really good to see you two staying positive and giving tips. Thanks so much ❤️❤️
We've been in a long distance relationship for over 3 years, with over 8400km between us. I can say for sure it's not easy but I am here to tell you that it's worth the pain to get that time with them. Keep fighting. We have to wait over one year to see each other but it's definitely possible
This may be affecting me as well since I’m also in a long distance relationship and my boyfriend is American and I’m Scottish so this is so bad for me since we may not be able to meet till we leave school and all that but yh hope everyone does stay safe and wash your hands daily ❤️💕🙏🏻😇😷
Just to let you know, I just came back from Europe to the US. The airports are not crowded as there are so many travel restrictions now (I got through in less than 30 minutes). Also, flights from the UK shouldn't be too expensive as most flights back to the US are flying through the UK anyhow. :) You can always go home and then visit the UK again if you want since there are still flights to and from the UK. Also, not many people on the flights from the UK to the US as only US citizens/permanent residents of the US can be on the plane, so there are plenty of open seats.
Thanks for the advice and reassurance! We’ve been looking at flights back but they all seem to be 28+ hours long 😳 we’ll keep looking!!
I'm new to your channel and found you by TikTok. My boyfriend (American) and me (Canadian) are in this shitty situation. I was suppose to visit my boyfriend the weekend they decided to close the borders between Canada and USA. So it's been now 16 months that we have not seen each other. We are holding strong but this pandemic is giving a lot of stress in general and also, a lot of anxiety in long distance relationship. You guys are lovely and I enjoy watching your vlogs and TikTok. Cheers from Canada!
Sam and Monica feel your pain and emotional I know it’s really hard and tough times you can’t travel a lot cause of this coronavirus just hang in there I’d get better just be happy you guys are together you two always brighten my day every time you posted y’all just stay safe stay strong and stay healthy y’all have my love and support notifications are always on I love you 2 as always!💯⭐️😃❤️❤️
Seeing u both together in this video ain’t helping my anxiety
TBH the best situation for LDR couples rn is to be stuck with your partner in this changing times. 🥺 Me and my boyfriend (8,500 miles apart) are closing to 1 year and have planned to meet this June for the first time. I literally have my ticket nooow. There’s no travel bans with each of our countries; but with all of this going on, I don’t know if I should push through. 🥺🥺
You guys will get through this, I know you will. It definitely is a hard time for all of us and you guys are taking the necessary steps to stay safe. Love you guys❤️
It is really hard with this pandemic. After 2 years of planning and saving to see my fiance i gotta wait longer because of this. I yearn for a hug from him so much. Just hope this clears up soon, cuz I really need that hug. Stay safe everyone
Same! I definitely feel your pain! We gotta stay strong
@@ellebelle6439 even though we video chat all the time, i still cry myself to sleep most nights and wake wondering why he is not beside me in bed. I love him without end.
This video is like air for me right now. In my country we can’t leave our city starting on Monday. Me and my bf would see each other on thurday so this sucks and i feel pretty hopeless now. Thank you for this video guys, we love you ❤️
Omg same!!!! My fiancé is in Canada and I’m in India 🙁🙁 we are literally living off FaceTime. We miss each other so so so terribly. My fiancé is an Indian citizen however since he’s in Canada and since at the moment, India is not allowing to land any international flight , we’re totally unsure as to when we’re going to see each other. The situation sucks so much. Also Canada has closed the borders as well whether it’s for a tourist visa or whatever. It’s been a month already that I’ve seen him. We have our wedding planned this May 2020. Me and my fiancé are really really hoping that things get okay atleast by June so that we can finally have our wedding then because we both sooo don’t want to postpone it any further than June.
Also you guys are stinking cute and remind me of the relationship I have with my fiancé ♥️ love you guys #teamsonica #sonicaclan #partners
Also like have you guys had nights where you want to sleep, but you’re missing your partner so much that you don’t want to sleep and do all is just talk to them? I am having that kind of night right now 😔
My boyfriend was supposed to move in April 25th. Due to the virus we had to cancel. He was going to drive but Virginia closed it’s roads and boarders. So we’re just really hurt honestly. 😔 We’re praying this is over soon.
I was actually thinking about the two of you the other day when all of this madness began hitting here in the states. I hope it all works out for you. As I've been telling everyone I know, I've lived alone for almost a decade and worked from home for six years, so I barely even notice any difference...
I'm in the US, my boyfriend is in Australia. I was going to see him soon :( now idk when
I feel you ☹ my fiance is in the US and Imin Australia. He's suppose to come in October 😭 And now Idk.. ugh
I was very fortunate to be able to fly back to the states from the Middle East a week ago and it took 47 hrs for four flights. Fortunately, there weren't many lines/cue in the airports though. I feel for you all and our UK family that are all stuck in lock down in the UK. Make the most of the time you have together though as we are. Unfortunately, I will have to go back to our LDR for work once this clears up.
I'm from the Netherlands and me and my family are already more than 1,5 week in self isolation. Not leaving the house at all because my brother has cancer so he is a high risk case... Hoping the situation will be better soon! Stay strong you guyss!
You are both great ! Thank you for sharing :) Monica, my advice to you without sounding negative is to head back to the United States since they ordered all their citizens to return and USA travel advise is now on a level 4 Do Not Travel. Do you have healthcare in the UK? You may also risk an overstay when you apply for marriage residency in future - and if the UK immigration know that the USA advised its citizens to return home due to a global health crisis, and you ignored the advice, you may risk an overstay and may need an immigration lawyer at some point to support your application down the line if you face future problems. For the sake of a clean immigration record with UK tourist obligations, you should go back to the USA to avoid problems in future and just believe you will both see each other again, or risk an overstay which will be on your record because if you surpass your stay beyond the timeframe, you have committed an overstayed on your tourist visa. All the best love
I got sent home from my study abroad early and I was studying abroad where my ldr boyfriend lives. We thought we would have 6 months of temporary distance closing but we only had 2:( trying to stay positive and safe so we can see each other soon. Good luck to you two❤️ Thank you for inspiring me
Sophie Ballou this was my exact same situation I was going to study abroad in South Korea and be with my ldr boyfriend and unfortunately was only able to stay for a week :(
@@LaurenBrittany omggg I feel for you so much! I hope we both can go back and see them soon
I was finally going to see my boyfriend for the first time April 1st, and it of course got cancelled 💔 We're extremely sad but we're trying to stay positive... At least I was able to reschedule for May💜
I left the UK a week ago when they said to i left my fiancee mid trip and also wedding planning and my flight was absolutely empty. and I don’t have the money to just put out on flights i work a 9-5 job making $9 but i knew i could be risking her visa by staying and my welcome back to the country also. I feel like the grown up thing to do is go home. I’m 22 years old and realized i’m putting a lot of things at risk by staying. Unfortunately i’m not as nearly as privileged as the either of you, so i took out a loan to book my flight home. The sooner people do what the government advises the sooner this goes away. Not knowing when you’re gonna see each other again is in the name of the game.
Same here...my boyfriend was about to come from States in Europe in our home country for 2 weeks yesterday...I was so devastated after the ban...I haven’t seen him since Christmas...I will see him probably in September (the only time I can go to states)😞😭😭😭
Just came back to the US from being in Japan for a year while being in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend. Since I came back I haven't had the chance to see him and I don't the next time that I will. We live an hour away from each other, but we're also trying to be careful with each other and our families so we're not potentially putting others at risk.
Oh my gosh!!! You two are the best. I can’t believe I just found y’all! My boyfriend and I are doing long distance from Texas and Canada so of course we don’t know when we’re gonna see each other 😔. But if anything our communication is amazing and we are being positive. I love seeing ldrs like this ❤️ stay safe
Thank you for this video Sam and Monica! I haven’t finished watching this video yet but it is really reassuring to hear another worried couple as I have been quite worried myself too 😘
We're glad!! :)
I’m Japanese and I’m in a relationship with American BF. My country has started travel ban. Travel restriction is really really bad. It makes me sad and mad every day. My country is exclusion of foreigners rn. Sometimes it is tired to think about when I can see my BF. Because everything depends on Japanese government. Stress stress. If I can’t see my BF on this year, I will have to wait for a long time. I haven’t seen him for 8 months.
Praying for you to figure it out, and for you to have peace with whatever solution you come to.
Sending lots of love your way 💕
guys I can't understand you more... those times are really stressful and even more when it involves long distance relationship problem.
I am french and currently in New Zealand for my studies, I met a guy 1 month before the lockdown, and I am supposed to go back home in France whenever the lockdown ends and flights are available, because I need to complete my studies in France. We have an amazing connection and we actually really would like this relationship to work in the future and we would like to reunite in Canada next year, but those times are so stressful and for weeks we didn't know when I was gonna go back, if we can ever reunite in the future because of immigration situations and visa...
I'm from Switzerland and currently still here in the US to see my bf, but i have to leave in three days. I was supposed to come back April 27th, but i'm so scared that the travel ban will last a lot longer than this... we've done over three months not seeing each other before, but we always had a date to look forward to. Now leaving without knowing when i'll be able to come back is killing me.
Well hi guys , hi everyone .. Well me and my Belgium fiancée were supposed to get married this week and remembering this makes want to hit my head against a brick wall till it blows up , i mean it hurts knowing that i can't see her in i don't know how long , it's been almost 3 months i didn't see her since our 4 year anniversary and i'm honestly feeling so jealous that u guys could spend this hard time together while i can't !! just stay safe and stay beautiful both of you , just wish me and my angel luck and courage to be able to be patient about this long distance and long time no see relationship !!!
My lovely boyfriend from the Netherlands was planning a trip to visit me in America on May 9th, realistically we do not think this will happen. It breaks my heart and I genuinely wish he would be able to come, but safety comes first. Spreading a virus is not going to help anyone, here is to a few more months of waiting...
Take care during these dark times as you're international treasures and must be saved at all costs.
I'm stuck in Hong Kong and my fiance in Sweden, I haven't seen him 2 months already and I miss him so so so much, I was planning to go to Sweden end of April, hope the border will open soon, I really hope to stuck with him....
Glad you guys are okay. Stay safe and let's hope this will all be over soon. 🙏
I've been with my SO for 2 years & we had planned on meeting for the first time in August (Aus to Fra). But now... We don't know when we'll meet. We've had such bad luck when trying to meet, but we're staying strong for each other.
I think the ban would be lifted by then, I hope so. I was supposed to meet mine in April for the first time but now the only next time we're both free is july or January next year! So i really hope the travel ban lifts otherwise I have to wait until next year! Good luck to yous and stay safe
@@lia5940 Thanks! Just so glad Skype exists 🤣
@@ellebelle6439 That's what we're hoping for too. But we're also being cautious & thinking about the "what ifs" too. As soon as it's safe to travel, I'll be on one of the first flights out! Good luck to everyone else who has to wait to see their SO's as well. ❤️
I'm in love with someone from France, he was going to visit me in Australia this march and then I was going to go there for summer :( I'm not giving up on us though, I love him and have hope that it will work out. Good luck to you as well :)
I was hoping to fly down to Texas to see my boyfriend over spring break or for prom. Really sad our senior year in high school is being limited. Though, we are still calling and trying to make the most of it. Thank you two for uploading, I love watching you guys.
omg a new video YES! I found your channle a few days ago and wow I love you guys :) thank you for keeping us Entertained duing quarantine, you are amazing
I’m from Russia and my boyfriend is from Germany. He flew back home in the beginning of March. He wanted to see me again in the end of May while I’ll have my exams in university but it’s suddenly became uncertain. I also wanted to make long-term visa this summer and move in with him but it’s also became uncertain :(
It’s very hard to not know when I’m gonna see my love again but I believe that everything will be fine soon. Stay strong, guys
This is the first video of yours I've watched (although I've been following you both for months!) and I'm so glad you've made this video. I've been struggling to come to terms with my boyfriend not being able to fly to Australia from the UK this week. I'm also gonna join the fb group and try to add him to it, it might help us both hearing from other people in similar situations. I'm glad you guys get to go through this together for the time being though!
I have a friend that was in japan and the airline told her to make plans to come home the next day and later that day the airline called back and told her they had a flight leaving that day and she had to leave immediately, If you time their is about up it might be wise to leave and come back to the USA and you can always call the US embassy there and ask them what you best option is. But what ever happens you two stay safe.
Gosh I'm glad I'm not alone on this because its hard. I was meant to see him this week and France closed the border. Hope this will be over soon because we need our normal life
Yayyyy I finally get to see a video of you two cutie before I finish my day 6 of quarantine😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️
:)
I love you guys!! Hang in there!❤️
In a long distance relationship for two years, our wedding was planned to be this Summer. Wedding and everything got postponed "until further notice" & we don't even know when we will even see each other... extremely difficult.
You can do this 😊
same here
This is exactly what kind of video i needed right now, thank you so much ❤️
The nice part is as well as being together during this global travel ban, you both have visa-free access (90 days to the US on the visa waiver program, 180 to the UK) to each other's countries as US and UK citizens respectively. I am Taiwanese and my partner is Vietnamese. We've been in a LDR 3 months. I can visit her country easier than she can visit mine, but we both need visas for each others' countries. I (TW citizen) can get 3-month multiple entry visas on arrival to Vietnam, while Taiwan will only allow her as a VN citizen to see me for 14 days on a tourist visa, which is only good a single time and she has to apply for a new visa every time she wants to visit Taiwan. Moreover, both our governments banned foreigners from entering due to this disease. Unfortunately, our LDR has been dying down the past few days. It used to be daily messaging and video calls, from our last visit. For the last 4-5 days, she's been either giving me one-word answers or not responding at all. I have no choice but to wait for her reply, as she's been unusually quiet. The responses I receive from her are now reduced to "I'm busy [with work]", "I'm sick", or "bad headache", or "stressed out because I'm losing my job". Any advice?
By the way, rejoice every day because your countries' visa requirements are far easier, and that you are both physically together!
me too ): my LDR boyfriend and i were supposed to meet for the first time on the 27th and stay for like a week but now it’s postponed until we don’t know how long ): it really sucks but i promise you we can all get through this
Thank you for your views on this it's hard on everyone keep us updated and be safe
Stay where you are, even if you face any sorts of legal issues later but safety is first than any legal issues you may face later. Don't travel at the moment to save your self by getting into people who may be already infected by this virus. And NYC's position is some where else when it comes to the number of infected cases as far as I know it went up to 10000+ !!
Give me a ♥️ if you guys have read this comment 😀.
I’m sure if you were in the U.K. longer then you were supposed to that you would not get in trouble! They should let that go with the current circumstances! I would stay out there but definitely get that answer ASAP! Contact somebody!! Because they are giving you the opportunity to go home! So just make sure you would be okay if you did get stuck there till end of summer let’s say! Good luck! It’s crazy here in Florida and it’s stressful but think positive! Love you guys!
I "met" my ldr girlfriend on a dating website, 6 months ago, around the time that my dad passed away, her dad passed away 3 years before. The funny thing about how our relationship started was I was giving up on finding anyone, online or offline. And i was sharing my experience through my profile of what to look out for if a scammer contacts you on the dating sites. My gf messaged me telling me she appreciated my tips. I was unsure if she was real or not. She is from Brazil and very very attractive, so i had my suspicions. Seemed qtoo gqood to be true, and you know what they say about that. It took a long time and a lot of patience on both our parts , time reveals a lot. We have a lot in common. But we have some differences too. We are bipolar opposites attract type couple, literally! Our birthdays are even exactly 6 months apart on the day! We have a language barrier we are working on online, our economic status is rough on both sides. And now this whole plannedemic (yes it is planned) has put a big hold on her even trying to earn money for her family, let alone to come see me so we can see if it is a real thing between us. We have been able to slowly get to know each other on many levels. But there have been some hardships and we almost broke it off a couple times, but we worked it out and we just continue to tutor each other with language lessons i am learning Portuguese and her, English, this is what helps bond us, but i think although with my suspicions initially,, we always had a certain connection besides visual attraction. We have a lot of laughs together learning each others language. It is hard to share some intimate moments while her children are in the house, but we find ways to keep it fresh as we possibly can. We Do little nice gestures for each other. But the one thing that is driving us both crazy is that we can't touch each other and hold each other. I want this more than anything, but my circumstances do not make it possible, even before the #plannedemic, to travel to her, and hers were rough to come see me. Yet we are still together and in love. We just want to be together now. We even wrote physical postal letters to each other, to try to have that connection that at least we can touch what the other had their hands on. This further helped create a stronger bond. We have written a second physical letter, getting ready to send. We have no idea how long it will take to receive it. But worth the effort! Especially in the digital age where texting is popular. You might be able to see and hear, but touch and smell are left out. I can feel her in her letter that she touched. If we are together like this after even a year, i would say that alone shows a true commitment and bond between us.
Monica should contact the US Embassy, explain your situation and your concern about traveling. I suspect the UK government will relax the rule for this emergency and the fact that you guys are in isolation helps.
Enjoyed watching every second of this video! lookin forward to the next on:)
stuck away from my partner :( he may only live 10 minutes away but he’s not allowed to go out or have anyone over since my city went into complete lockdown :/ but it’s good practice for when we’re going to be long distance beginning in January
Talk to both governments on Monday. And see what the say.
Word! They need to get some answers as soon as possible.
Yeah we're going to get in touch with whoever we can as soon as we can! :)
@samandMonica or you could elope and still have the big wedding next year.
Sadly, even being married doesn’t necessarily help. My husband and I are currently separated due to this B.S., and even though I’m technically excluded from the U.S. travel ban, and he is technically excluded from the European travel ban, our visas/ESTAs/Travel documents for the respective countries both got revoked the second the travel bans took effect. Getting a new visa for both respective countries is currently impossible, both countries have stopped processing all kinds of visas all together, and consulates/embassies run on reduced hours and are emergencies (as in death or crime related instances regarding citizens) only. No chance of getting anyone on the phone or an appointment for either of us. I was literally about to board a plane when they revoked my esta, and security personnel had to escort me out of the plane and back through security out of the airport. Knowing that I was this close is so frustrating. I would’ve had the chance to fly a day earlier, hence avoiding the travel ban, for an upgrade onto a business seat though. Since I didn’t just have 2k to spend on such notice out out of pocket, that wasn’t possible....to say both my husband and me are absolutely heartbroken and furious would be an understatement. I am praying this B.S. is actually over April 30th, but the analytical part of my brain is telling me otherwise....here’s to hoping!
You need to consider health insurance when deciding whether to return to the US or not.
i said i wouldn't do long distance again and then I met someone at. uni - I live in surrey and he lives in north wales, and we have been spending almost every day together for 2 months - then when the lockdown was announced on Monday, we thought we had 4 more days together and suddenly there were 2 hours and we had to go. i was worried about getting trapped away from my family but at the same time wanted to be with him; its a very difficult situation and I hope you're both doing ok xxx
