No more touch bracelet? Founf u from that video. Whyd you stop using it?
We’ve been going ld since end of February and in the last month is when there’s been some distance between us not talking as much but still texting sometimes pictures being sent. We lit have a month and half left til we’re together again and I’m so worried that he’s losing interest 🥺😩 because he’s been so distant with communication I have flown to see him 3 times for a week since February it’s been amazing and we’ve done so good except for now what do I do
Also we lived together the first year together I had to leave to take care of some business Jan will be our 2 year anniversary
43 days!
16 days to go for me! Meeting my girl on the 20th, and I'm having to fly all the way to Denver from New Zealand. I'm fucking terrified, but also really excited!
I’m so glad to have experienced a long distance relationship for two years. It made me open up to a completely different world and now makes my new short distance relationships even stronger!
It is such an eye-opening experience for sure. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I believe so strongly that it changes a person! Love you girl!
@@SydneyHembrough love you too!
Communication & Honesty are the most essential
I agree!
#1 - Accept the situation | 1:29
#2 - Plan for the Future | 3:18
#3 - Communicate, Communicate, Communicate | 5:02
#4 - Make Time for Each Other | 6:57
#5 - Include them in your World | 9:39
You're Welcome
Thank you :)
This is facts experienced for 2 years in October
Ugh the accepting the situation is so hard but all of these tips are amazing thank you for spreading your positivity!!
Aww I am so glad you found this video helpful! I agree accepting is the hardest, but it truly is the key to getting through the distance!
My boyfriend and I just started with LDR last week. And in 46 days he will be flying down. It may not seem long to most people. But him and I were side by side for months on end. So thank you so much for this video, I love your content!!
Hey girl a little late but going through the same thing. Wish the best for you guys ❤️
I also started long distance last week after about 3 years of in person
i started long distance 7 months ago after living in the same city for 1 year and 4 months
This helped me so much im in an LDR and i just got back from seeing my boyfriend today anyone in an LDR knows that pain but this helped a lot even just to feel not alone in this
Ah yes LDRs can def be a challenge! I'm still working in mine, but the distance is soooo close to being closed 😍
Switzerland and Korea LDR, wish us luck 🥲
I appreciate your advice and your 6+ years motivates me even more to not give up. It was over 890 days when I last saw my fiancé. Seeing her last month was everything and hopefully next month will be even more amazing than the last time.
I'm so so glad that you and your bf are still together! Also, thank you for the video, it spreads such positive vibes 💕
I love this video so much 😭 I'm currently in a long distance right now and this video helped me get a better understanding of how can I improve on my part and make it better 💜
Oh Sydney thank you for making this video ! I haven’t seen my boyfriend in over 1 year and 6 months it’s extremely tough . I am hoping and praying every day to see him again . Knowing that someone else has bene through what I am going through gives me hope that I can do it too . Plus I I’ve been in LDR for 5 years now
omg same! You can do it!
Thank you for the tips! I have been doing LDR with my boyfriend for 2.5 years. He is from Germany while I am from Spain. We luckily got the chance to see each other a couple of times, although its going to be other 3 months till I can see him again. Sometimes the waiting in the LDR can be really discouraging and can hit you real bad (I know its something that really affects my bf for instance), although I genuinely believe that with effort and dedication it can really work!
Such good advice, I love the part about making each other part of your world! 👏🏼 So excited for you going to England 🥺❤️
I am so excited, too! Thanks Kate! 😊
This has helped so much see you make this work especially for 9months from the UK
Thank you for this video. It helped fill in the grey areas especially the different time zones (8hrs) and communicating. We text here and there in the day. He fills me in on how his day goes and I’m totally not used to this. I’ve tried to not stay too focused on my day and share some info with him. We are just 2 months into dating so I know we are still learning each other. We are meeting for the first time this October 2022 half way. ☺️ he has a countdown timer. I’m definitely learning what it takes to be in a healthy LDR because my first relationship was an LDR and it was so bad and toxic and short lived. It feels a little like a redemption.
Hey, thank you so much for this video. It helps me so much. It makes me feel better.
Thank you! But I think I was also expecting advice on jealousy in long distance and fighting bad scenarios that play in your head when he's far away. It was helpful thank you and I hope you close the distance soon permanently 💓💓💓💓💓💓
I LOVE these videos of you and Charlie!! And the fact Charlie is from the city I spent 25 years in from birth 😁. Love to you both and it’s amazing how you both have kept on strong together. You’re both amazing together xxx love from Torquay previously from Sheffield lol
I LOVE!!! Thank you for your encouragement! It truly means so much to me! I love how this crazy world all connects one way or another.
Wonderfully said Hats off and I'm in LDR too.. It's been an important video for me.. I don't know how to say thanks but truly saying wish U a very good luck...

I'm in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend for 9.5 months now. We have not met each other yet and our plan to see each other keeps postponing due to covid. Our timezones are 13 hours apart.

Incredibly insightful!
girl it’s July 4th !!!! Only a few more days 🤗 YOY BETTER UPLOAD 💕💕
I found this video very helpful, you made many good points Thanks
I could not agree any more with all of your advice. TRUE facts.
Thank you!!!
Fantastic video, learnt a lot from it 👌
Each time I see him I’m just so over the distance and so ready to move in together. Two years and counting… it doesn’t get easier, you just learn to cope. And we only live 70 miles apart 🥴
Thats not long distance. Its far but not long lol
Btw it does make sense when you hadn’t been over to Sheffield for ages and you felt like it was an imaginary place in Charlie’s life. Love the way you explain things. Safe trip for you for when you return to England xx
YES! His world was just a dream to me until I was able to go there. I feel like it all became real when I went there. I learned so much about him and his culture! It was amazing
i met my boyfriend for the first time after knowing each other for 6 months (dating for 3) a week or two ago and being patient is so rewarding. im going to see him again in october (flying by myself for the first time) and im staying with him and his family for five days. im so exited because im also going to be able to meet and go to a concert with an online friend of 5 years!!!
my bf is a foreign exchange student and recently moved homes to ohio and in june he’s moving back to spain ☹️ we’ve been ldr since november of last year. thank you so much for the tips!!
So useful advice, thank you so much! I am in the similar situation with u. I am in the US for college and my girlfriend is in the UK for college. We cannot meet each other in person for at least half of the year. So sad. … But with your advise, I think we can work out best ways for our relationships.
Did you guys meet? I was in an LDR too but he broke up with me a month ago. I love her more than anything. I'm an international student in Canada and my ex is from the UK. She's about to head to college in September and she was scared she won't be able earn enough money for us to meet in December. Although we both agreed to pool in money, since I was because I was becoming increasingly impatient (yes ik I'm an idiot) and since I said "I'm not sure about my patience" she overthought the whole thing (can't blame her). I never meant to say that I may break up if I run out of patience by saying that but ofc me wording it that way sort of implies that which was never my intention. Smth I realized late is realistically because we're both international students we won't be able to meet for a while (at least a year). She knew this from the beginning and she was very patient and I didn't understand it fully when she was explaining it. By the time I did realize it and I apologized and I promised that I will definitely change and be patient because she means so much to me and said that I never intended to breakup with her by sayying "idk about my patience" it was too late and she ended things. I miss and love her so much and keep beating myself up ever since.
thank you so much for this video im in a very similar situation soon going on to be a year :)
I have trouble surviving the long distance relationship, I enjoy your company.
I’m about to move out of state for an entire semester and I won’t be able to see my boyfriend for the first time since we started dating four years ago. this is perfecting timing 😭❤️
I really hope this video will help! I tried really hard to give good advice haha!
My GF lives in Canada. I am in the Netherlands. We just talk everyday. Having a schedule for doing phone calls (9h time difference). We just keep working on our future together❤️
agreed with all of this! can't wait to find which of you will be moving 👀
Awww yay!! And LOL you and me both 😂
This is great thanks ❤
I live in the us and my girlfriend lives in NZ we’ve been together for 1 and a half years now and I was supposed to visit her in February but because of covid that never happened and it’s really disappointing but I love this channel you’ve helped me with good gift ideas for long distance
Aww this made my day simply because I want my channel to be full of support and like a community. It is so hard right now, but there is hope! Thanks for sharing your story and commenting so early! I can't wait for this video to get posted. I really hope you find it helpful!
@@SydneyHembrough I did find this video helpful and honestly knowing how long you guys have been together gives me a lot of hope. It can feel very hard to maintain that hope not knowing when I’m gonna be able to see her and when everyone I currently have in my life is telling me that the relationship won’t work out. Thank you for the video and for giving me hope!
@@table-fe1cy Same to me as well. Her friends and my friends keep telling us that LDR doesn't work and she might be a scam yada yada yada. It is difficult and i really wish covid to end soon so that we can finally meet.
something that's really cool is that my boyfriend is from England and I'm from America as well! We both met when we were 15, when he took a vacation to America for a few weeks and met me. We've been doing a ldr ever since. just thought I'd share my story since it's so similar to yours haha!
Aww that’s so sweet!!! I love that so much!!
Us to UK LDR is super hard with the time zone difference, I always want to stay awake to shes ready for bed but it's not always possible and we still got to wait till 2024 graduation till we can meet again
What do you do when you try to close the distance because she is in Russia and I don’t know what to do
the guy i'm dating is moving across the country for a few months for an internship. i'm hoping virtual dates and communication can help us get through it :)
Awww! Best of luck!!! I really do believe communication is key. As long as you keep that up and actually talk about things going on in your lives, you will be just fine! Thinking of you all!
did you guys get thru it? I just moved across the world for a semester abroad and I won’t see him for 4 months and I already miss him so much
It's gotten harder since I got a job because there's a 16 hour time difference between us.
I'm in Australia, he's in the US.
Previous relationships I've been in have been quite troublesome. My first one we were together for 2 years but the entire time I kinda felt like I was chasing after him, it was quite toxic, to the point where I didn't break up with him even though it was hurting me to be in the relationship. He ended up ghosting me. That wasn't long distance it was in person from the get go. I have suffered with high anxiety since then any relationship I've been in I've been quite paranoid. Abandonment and such. As previously mentioned we are so far apart and not quite dating again, we were together before but we felt that we needed to work on ourselves. It's been 8 months and we are such different ppl now mentally we are able to give the best versions of ourselves.
I've finally learnt more patience thanks to him and he keeps me grounded. I'm less anxious, plus the paranoia is basically non existent with him I have my moments but I feel myself at peace more. Due to the ghosting relationship I had this almost crippling fear of calling ppl, mainly because I'd get ignored in that relationship if I called. Today I had an amazing experience for the first time in years I was able to call someone without being paranoid that they won't pick up, I know with him that I'd he doesn't pick up straight away he will do when he gets the chance so I just sat in the discord call for 20 mins, low and behold he joined the call we talked for two hours. Our work schedules are a mission to work around but I've never been this happy or calm before and I have him to thank.
Also thank you for your advice it's actually helped a lot, I'm slowly beginning to accept the situation and run with it.
Thank you ❤️
Oh mine is,3 hours drive away, make mine not seem long distance 🤣
Ya great! 💯
I’m nearly 13 and in a long distance relationship and i was just wondering is that a very young age to be in a relationship that is long distance?
Me and my girlfriend live 1000 miles away and I’m a junior in hs and she’s a sophomore and I can’t wait to graduate to see her how should I make it last that long
We are 7 years together. But we maintain long distance relationship for last 4 years. He just come 2 times a year.. He is working outside the state. Now we want to live together.. we are 22 years old. But my parents never allow us to go to live in relationship. What to do...
Hey, I'd have a question for you, I hope it's not too personal or anything, but have you guys ever had fights or conflicts throughout the years and how did you solve them via online. And like, if one of you perhaps got frustrated about the fact that you can't see each other for so long and you have more time spent apart then together, then how did you get through that? Thank you so much for the video!
I have experience of long distance because of my boyfriend being in the military and now he has to stay in california for a little bit then he has to be deployed
I'm in long distance relationship rn. I'm always insecure about my looks!! :') tho he makes me feel safe but still feels so bad
RESPECT
Respect
@@agnesli2865 yes
“May never come home” :((( I’d miss you
Shhhhhhh!!!
I haven't seen my boyfriend for 500+ days and we don't know if we can even see each other this year due to covid :( thanks for your advices though! ☺️
Hang in there! I am so lucky I went when I did last March. If I didn't it would be well over 500 days, as well! We are all in this together!
Just want to ask I just met someone we are in a long distance relationship we text alot because he speaks a different language and it's hard to communicate verbally so we only video call and look at each other I feel bad how can I deal with this

Hello, I have been in a long distance relationship for three months, with a married woman living in Iraqi Kurdistan, we do not have the same religion and as a Frenchman, English is not my strong language. I use a translator, we cannot do video, only text, some vocals and a few videos sent secretly. Sometimes I tell myself that all this makes no sense and will lead to nothing, but I care about her enormously. If it were up to me, I would already be at her doorstep. What do you think about this Hardmode LDR? Thanks for reading me.
My boyfriend and I are out of state students at the same school. He’s from Michigan and I’m from Washington and I even hate the 18 days of winter break we’re doing right now! It doesn’t help that everyone I know left for break so I’m alone in an apartment with roommates I don’t like. And I know we can do it because we did 90 days over the summer. He’s my best friend so it’s hard to not have someone to talk to in person

It started today♥️🥺💔
My situation is exactly the same as yours, my boyfriend's from Canada and I'm across the Atlantic from, we just started dating and it's so hard on me mentally
Edit: I'm 17
I live with my bf but he's Spanish and has just arrived in Spain today. It's just hit me he's going to be gone. We will be separated for 6 months but feels like it's gonna go so slow. I do hope the next few months go fast. We are going to move in to a bigger apartment when he comes back so that is something to look forward to...
