Let us know in a comment if you are in a long distance relationship OR if, because of everything that's going on, you are now...I'd love to know how you're finding it! And be sure to reassure one another too and offer your own advice! These videos are always to spark discussion and to have a big, global chat! xxx

Anyone in a relationship right now just sob through this entire video? I genuinely wasn't ready for long distance at all.

In my experience losing the feeling of love can sometimes be because of unrelated difficult times your life... I felt i was falling out of love with my partner but waited it out - looking back I realised I had just been really depressed but was projecting it onto my relationship and generally feeling numb, not just in my feelings towards my partner. Now that I'm doing a lot better I have no doubt I love him still :)

HOW DO YOU KEEP GETTING EVEN PRETTIER EVERY VIDEO? LIKE YOU WERE ALREADY GORGEOUS! IS THIS NOT EVEN YOUR FINAL FORM? AHHHHHHHHHHH

Am I in a long distance relationship (or any relationship for that matter)? No. Am I going to watch this video anyway? Yes 😭😂

My boyfriend (Australian) and I (Spanish) were in a long distance relationship for 3 years, until last September. Watching this type of videos helped me when I was sad about the situation. It was one of the most difficult things I had to deal with sometimes but it was all worth it. Now we are stuck in quarantine with each other and thanks to our experience we appreciate every second of not having half of the world between us. So to anyone dealing with a ldr, don't lose hope, your time will come too 🥰

When me and my (now husband) were dating for around 2 years, i had to move to Cork from Galway on my own for a year. He proposed when i left. I missed him so much and we visited one another much like you guys did. My college course was soo busy that i rarely got home to galway but my fiance cane to visit me and would stay a few days at a time. I literally had no time to do anything with him when i got home every evening but to be in his presence while i worked on my college work. He was amazing and i appreciated him still visiting me even though i was so busy. x we are now together 11 years and married 6 years with 2 lovely children. That year away from one another was hard but we managed x

you read my mind, I needed this video! My husband and I are currently dealing with a long distance marriage because he is in the military and this virus has made our distance even longer. it’s absolutely awful being pregnant all alone in a one bedroom apartment :(

Me and my boyfriend had a LDR for 3 years. Now he finally lives with me and we're getting married this summer! :) The longest we haven't seen each other was 5 months... You can do this people! ^_^ Good tips in this video! :)

Melanie your hair looks amazing xx

me and my partner are seperated for a month now, the longest we had to go without each other was six weeks when i temporarily had to move away for uni, we don't even live that far away from each other, only about 200km and before we saw each other every week for 2-3 days, but due to closed borders in europe bc of the coronavirus, we don't know when we'll see each other again. it's breaking both of our hearts and there's been phonecalls with us both crying at the other end because we just want to be together but we can't. so far we're managing well, our communication is way better now, we're texting everyday, talking on discord everyday, watching netflix and youtube together and playing videogames. I just want to lay in his arms again tho. Thank you melanie & thomas for being such incredible role models when it comes to LDRs and in general, I really look up to you and best of luck with the baby and all!!

A long distance relationship would be the best type of relationship for me, cos I wouldn't have to see them very often. I love being alone and especially living alone with just my cats, having to see someone all the time would really get on my nerves.. and I like doing what I want whenever I want without having to consider someone else. If I only had to see them once every few weeks it would be ok.

This was v v comforting. Found myself forced into ldr (although hes not even that far away really ) and have had a few of these questions myself. Thank you mel and thomas 💚

I really needed that. I was going to see my long-distance (US to Europe) boyfriend in March, but the US banned travel three days before I was meant to fly. Now we're not going to see each other for another four months, bringing us up to a year in total. Been having those spiralling thoughts recently and was scared to watch the video in case it made me feel worse, but fortunately it made me feel better! Thank you

This is exactly what i need now... I'm already in a LDR and we were planning my trip to see him this summer but due to covid I had to cancel my plans. So heart broken but you gave me some hope and ideas. Thank you for that. Take care xoxo

My now husband and I were in a LDR for over a year before we closed the distance. We had 200 miles and a country (I was England, he was Wales) between us. We relied on facetime, texting and royal mail in between the visits. I remember we always tried to have the next visit planned in before the one we were on ended. It would be a weekend of time. Friends told me it wasn't a real relationship, that I couldn't possibly get to know him properly, but he never let me down, and I knew that physically being together, didn't mean that you would know someone more. I clocked up over 10, 000 miles on my car driving to and from South Wales/London. He did similar (although his car often ended up being AA relayed home!). It was so, so hard leaving each week - there would be so many tears! We finally closed the distance a year and 3 months later and I truly believe that our LDR roots have made us the couple that we are today. We are able to communicate so, so well because, in an LDR that is all you have! We got married may 2019 in Gretna Green with our closest friends and family with us ( there were 13 of us in total including 3 children) and it was perfect. I still look back fondly on our LDR days - although glad that we no longer have to say goodbye!

lol i fully felt like mom and dad are telling me about phone sex which was.... weird?..

Thomas saying "I'm not going to take this off" is the sweetest thing ever 😆 hope you both are staying well

Having been in a LDR and physical touch being both our love language, it’s so true that even the simplest thing like being able to hug each other at the end of the day, is cherished and not taken for granted ☺️

Thank you so much for making this, this makes me feel less alone in my situation and reminds me that when I see him, it will be so worth it ❤️

What surprises me about you two each time I see you, is how normal and likeable you are! I cant wait for baby to be born, you're gonna be fantastic parents and have so much fun!

Me and my partner have always been long-distance! Im from the UK and he is from Portugal, stronger then ever after 5 years together! The longest we have gone without seeing each other is a couple of months so this will probably go on much longer, but I feel like we’re used to this/ well prepared! We have a plan and a future to look forward to which always helps :)

Right now I’m in a long distance-close distance quarantine relationship, but I’m going to be moving away from my long term boyfriend a little over a year from now, so this is like a trial run for us. I love y’all and I love hearing from other successful long distance relationship success stories ♡

This video is so perfect for the moment! I know quarentine is not the same as not being in the same city or country, but for me, this has been like a long distance relationship were I havent seen my boyfriend for one month and a half, which I know is not much compared to other long distance relationships, but I was used to see him almost everyday. We study in the same university and we live kind of near so we literally saw each other all the time. Now, things have changed so much and we don't know when we will be able to leave our houses. It's a hard moment but watching Melanie is always an inspiration and makes me feel much better!!! thank you so much for your videos

My bf and I have been together for about 2 1/2 years and we're always long distance for about 2 to 3 months during the summer while I'm visiting family. We both thought that 2020 would be the last year of long distance for us, but the universe decided otherwise 😂. Like Mel and Thomas said, it does take trust, communication, and flexibility. It's hard, my dudes. But we'll get through our QLDRs (Quarantine LDRs) and come out the other side much stronger 💚💚

I haven't seen my partner for four weeks now, I know that's nothing compared to some but goodness I miss him all the time. We FaceTime every day, play games online etc, we even read to each other 😂 but I can't wait for the day I get a cuddle! We were JUST about to move in together then all this happened too!

Guys I am in a long relationship from 11 years... and very happy 😅 we are both introverts and we match perfectly with this type of relationship, but it's not a thing for everyone!

when lockdown first happened my boyfriend said we would have little FaceTime dates etc but two weeks later there was none. So I just communicated that I was annoyed and felt he wasn’t putting in the effort he said he would. Now this week he’s been calling me here and there and it’s just so much better!! 22 days now without seeing him 🥺

Currently in France, I am in a 4 years ldr for work reasons. We were suppose to finally live together in April but now we can't. I just want to say that sometimes it is normal to not "miss" the other person. I'm still in love but I am used to not seeing him everyday so sometimes I don't miss him but the thing is that I'm still thinking of him everyday and when I wake up or when I go to sleep I have a thought for him. But I would say in my opinion it's normal to not always miss your partner. You are right communication is a key in a relationship and it so important in ldr! Sending good vibes from the south west of France! We are all in this together! 💜💚

Oh it’s sooo reassuring to hear you shared some of my experiences/feelings, Melanie! Thanks so much for this video!

Melanie! Your hair looks so beautiful and fluffy 😍☁️

We weren’t long distance we stay around 40 minutes away from one another and luckily we both drive but...we are long distance now it’s so difficult 😔

I was having a really hard time I’m with my boyfriend 9 years and we would see each other almost every day. I haven’t seen him in 5 weeks and he lost his new job due to covid, but .. I am lucky because my boss said he could have a job with us as he was looking for people and asked if I knew anyone, it’s in a different section but I’m happy as he now has a job again and I’ll see him at lunch.

Mel thank you thank you thank you for your openness and honesty!!! You and Thomas are an example of a healthy, loving relationship💚 I still remember the monthly vlogs in Spain, so incredibly happy for you! Kisses

I am in a long distance relationship for few years now .. In the beginning i was afraid and everyone was sayng to me that it won't last but if you both want it and try for it you have nothing to be afraid of.. it is hard but it's worth it!

Me and boyfriend are long distance as I am at university about 500 miles away from home. Now I am home for lockdown and unable to see him. Definitely finding it challenging at the moment being home and not seeing him. Thank you for the reassurance from this video, we struggle with keeping energy/ excitement just through FaceTime etc. However we really value time together when we see each other. Only 4 years apart to go!💖

I haven’t seen my boyfriend since January :( I live in LA, he had to go to Germany, was supposed to come back in February (long story at the US boarder) then was supposed to come back for an event in March which got cancelled due to the virus and now due to the virus it has been the longest we haven’t seen each other. And mostly I am fine during lockdown. Very aware of and very grateful for my privilege. The only thing that gets to me is how much we miss each other. Thank you for this video I feel like I wasn’t able to express this omg

The ADTR intro definitely took me back. I’m currently in a LDR; he’s in Ireland (where he’s from), and I’m in LA. We’ve been dating for almost 1.5 years now, and we’ve been consistently apart for about 10 of those months now (although I visited him for a week in winter). Surprisingly, quarantine has allowed us to call each other more often, but we’re now uncertain when we’ll see each other next. We’re both hoping to get our postgrad degrees in the same time zone at least! Time will tell. Anyway, this video was super helpful! Class content as always. Thanks, Melanie!

Thank you for this! My boyfriend and I were abrupt put in a long distance relationship because of the lockdown (the last thing we said was "see you later!" haha). The first weeks I found it very hard, like I didn't want to accept it. Now I see the positive part of this experience. But at the same time I discovered how much he really means for me, the way I miss him and how much energy I get just from skyping with him. We also learn how to communicate better, and how to share our love in words (something that we found difficult before) instead of actions and affection. It makes us more emotional open. This period also learns me to let loose of control (not knowing when we see each other again). I just try focussing on today and reconnecting with my mind, fantasy and nature. I think our relationship with each other and ourself will have improved after this.

My partner & I LDR. I'm in Australia & he is in the UK. We have been together nearly 2 years & most of our time apart has been two 8 months cycles. It was going to finally go down to 4&5 then covid happened & I don't know when I'll see him physically next. I miss him every day & I enjoy knowing there is a community of people out there in all kinds of situations faring similar & fighting for love.

honestly is so wild watching your videos since before you got together and then being on this journey with you, you gave me hope about long distance working for people but you also helped me to gain a better understanding about how to communicate properly with a partner and not to settle for anything less than i deserve! so happy to see what the future holds for both of you 💚xxx

Me and my boyfriend are LDR and have been for 7 years. Even we are struggling not seeing each other for this amount of time! The only thing I can suggest if you have been a couple for a while is don't worry about the texts and calls do what you want to do for the day and you'll have plenty of things to tell eachother in the evening and even doing that can add a bit of excitement because you'll both be wanting to spend time with each other in the evening and will want to speak to each other more!

thank you for saving 30 minutes of my day, life in quarantine can be so boring. 💗

My partner and I are now in a long distance relationship - this year he took a job in Sydney and I live in Melbourne. We’ve been together for 2.5 years and it is so hard - I can’t leave to be with him as I only have one year left of my nursing degree and I’m currently working two jobs as a disability support worker. We’re best friends and it’s hard not seeing your best friend anymore and then not being able to see your other friends due to isolation. However I have noticed I’m reading more, I’m hanging with my family more, having board game nights with my siblings, I’m painting more and I’m loving it. I have more me time. Although I want to be with him more than anything - I need to use this time to finish my degree, work hard and enjoy my family time before I leave and be with him next year.

I’m in a LDR with my boyfriend, me being in Australia and him living in the UK. We try to set times for FaceTime but because of the time difference it doesn’t always work, but that’s ok! We trust each other and it actually makes it easier in isolation because both of us aren’t doing much in our lives so we aren’t missing out. I haven’t seen him since January and the longest I’ve been without him is 3/4 months so this time will definitely be harder with the travel restrictions and not knowing when we can internationally travel. We have been together for over a year now and wouldn’t change a thing 🥰

This video further proves how sweet you both are! It's so great you found each other and you're so dedicated to the love you have for each other x

My partner and I have been in a LDR for about 3 years now (5 years of relationship in total) as he is working in England while I am finishing my degree in France. The quarantine had his job asking the personnel to work from home so he actually came back a month ago and we've been living together through this isolation period. We are really grateful for this unplanned time we get too spend together ! Some pieces of advice we collected allong our LDR : be grateful for the little things, make a big deal of seeing each other (organize a little surprise when they visit you for exemple) , share your dreams for the future (we love house hunting online or looking up the profiles of shelter dogs), COMMUNICATE a lot, trust the other to listen and make them understand when and why you have been hurt by anything they could have done (without judging them), know than no one knows what is on your mind except yourself so you have to tell if you want to settle en issue, also tell them when you feel positive things (I still get butterflies whenever I receive an impromptus "I love you" in the middle of my day), understand that the other may want some time for themselves as you are also allowed to get some time for yourself, try not to stop having fun while being away from each other. And maybe you won't work it out, it is ok bc LDR is hard and not for everyone, try not to beat you up if it doesn't. 💚

Did anyone else notice when he took her hand when she was talking about her insecurities 😍😍 AWWWWWWWWW

I never thought I'd be in a distance relationship till it happened. We were in the same city and in a relationship for almost a year, then he moved an hour ish away. It's not much too far but this is new to me and thank you for making an enlightening video.

Yes yes yes!! I wanted to write so many comments while watching, just tips that helped us during our 4 years of long distance and than you talked about every single one of them. Great video! I hope everyone in the comments can put long distance behind them soon :)

I’m in a LDR for over a year now. We haven’t met in real life though, but we were looking forward to see each other in november. With the virus being around, I don’t know if it will still be possible to meet each other (I keep hoping). It’s kinda difficult to see people complaining nowadays because they can’t see their loved one for a few months. Like my boyfriend and I literally are 5000 miles apart from each other. We have been calling every day, a whole year round. So I think you will survive those few months. And if not, then you gotta take conclusions out of it. It’s harsh but true...

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 7 years but have been long distance for 4 years (going 2-3 months at a time without seeing each other) and we're finally moving in together this fall! It all totally sucked, but really encouraged us to build some VALUABLE relationship skills. All my love to you and Thomas!

Yous both look gorgeous, hope the two of you and baby are keeping well ❤

Use to be long distance with my boyfriend, now husband about a year ago, and it was so hard, especially going back home. We are happily married for 4 months and letters and video chats were essential. I didn’t have an iPhone, so we used Facebook messenger video chat and it was a game changer. We fell asleep over video chat and phone call, watch Netflix together, and just got to know each other for who we were on the inside. Love my new hubby so much ❤️

Been in a long distance in the same country for over four years now because of our studies. It's worth it though. 💚 Thank you for talking about this, I'm sure a lot of people will find this useful

My parents did long distance for a whole year between the US and Japan ♥️ I don't know how they did it.

I CAN'T. WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE TOGETHER!?!!!!

Born on the same day. We've been in a long distance relationship for over 2 years. Now Married!! Successful long distance relationship

My boyfriend lives in Spain and I live in Germany. So we're doing the long distance thing anyways. But what's so incredibly hard at the moment is, that we have no way of knowing when we will be allowed to see each other again... Thanks for the video, Mel 💚 I think I'll go back and watch all of your old monthly vlogs from when Thomas was still in Spain, to distract myself a little

I‘m in a long distance relationship for 9 months now. I live in Germany and he’s living in New Zealand this is why we haven’t seen each other in 8 months. It’s not easy but we facetime daily, watch movies and stuff for it to feel less lonely. Guess it’s good that we both like to talk everyday because that’s not for everyone. Planning to go visit him after my studies in September for 3 months, hope it works out due to the situation!

This comment is not helpful at all but I just wanted to share. My boyfriend lives only 2 streets away, it is a litertal 5 minute walk from each other's houses and yet it feels like a distance relationship. Its been 5 weeks since we last saw eachother. Thank you for the great video.

You have both a beautiful sense of humor 😍😍

My boyfriend and I recently celebrated our 2 year anniversary over Skype. I'm currently living in New Zealand, caring for a family member, while he is in australia where we met. With the border restrictions it means I won't won't know when i will get to go back. He is still working during this time so he can distract himself during the day, whereas I'm not so it's much more difficult. Keeping busy is so important or else I go crazy overthinking. But I cherish every phone call, face time and random message. I cant wait for this crazy time to be over so we can be reunited. Love you mel and thomas, thanks so much for the reassurance on the topic xxxx

I am not in a long distance relationship, but I just have to watch every video you make together because you are my favorite couple ever. Thank you for creating such a valuable content, having a relationship like yours is a goal and inspiration for all of us.

I went travelling for 2 months and now isolating, I saw him though a window when I got my car and it was hard. The idea of getting the butterflies/lust back again when we do re unite is keeping me going 😊

For me Corona currently means I can finally be with my bf everyday. We were living 6h apart before because we study in different cities. And we weren't offical when starting long distance either:D i'm really scared when Uni starts again non digital 'cause I' m getting too used to this

This has helped me so much thank you, both of you ❤

Mel, you look like an enchanted vampire in this video. I say this in the best way possible. Gorgeous hair, skin. You are glowing!

me and my boyfriends are in LDR for 4 years now but we haven't been seperated for such a long time ever before. oh boy it is hard but I keep reminding myself that it's worth it. thank you for sharing, Mel! It's really nice to see you both happy and together and it gives me hope!

thanks for the video

Because of the self-isolating quarantine, this is the longest me and my boyfriend have spent apart in the 7 years of us being in a relationship. We're both considered at risk due his asthma, his parent's age, and my t1 diabetes, so it's safest for us to not risk spreading anything between our households. But it sucks. This video is so helpful for us, even though the 3 miles distance between us isn't exactly 'long-distance' 😅

My fiancé and I are long distance, he works in the merchant navy and unfortunately lots of methods of communication aren’t possible for us, sometimes no internet at all. He’s generally gone for 2-3 months at a time, longest has been almost 4 months. He’s been gone since the start of March and don’t know when he will be able to come back. It’s so worth it though, but not going to be closing the distance until we have a kid in a few years. We take every day as comes but it’s getting easier after a year and a half of doing it.

My boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship since I moved away for uni in February last year. We miss each other so much, but we also FaceTime often and visit each other every month or so. Now I'm isolating and doing uni work from my home town, except we're both social distancing with our parents and we still can't see each other. We know we can manage but it's really frustrating (especially for me, since being home=seeing him almost every day). Only thing keeping us sane is the amount of work we both have to do. Thank you for the videos that never fail to cheer me up xxx

You are goals! My partner & I have been long distancing a few times already and now we are separated as we're self-isolating with our families. I'm glad we have learned what is best for us, good morning texts and late night calls will do most days. He's not much of a texter so I don't flood him with messages and I don't like being interrupted so just like you guys, we ask before we call. It's so nice to hear someone else's tips and experience, thank you for this video, I really appreciate it 🥰

me and my boyfriend were together for 10 months before he had to move 300 miles away for a phd. when the lockdown happened, nothing really changed but it's interesting to see how other people are dealing with what we see as 'normal'

My now fiancé and I spent our first two years long distance when we went to college and then again for our eighth and ninth year because he became a commercial fisherman. I thought the second round would have been easier but it wasn’t. It didn’t help that I was constantly worried about his safety on the boat. That position actually opened up because a man had fallen overboard the year before and my fiancé was brought on. I grew a lovely friendship with one of his crew mates’ girlfriend because we would travel together to visit them. Her boyfriend would also have a stronger phone connection so she would get more updates when my fiancé’s phone wouldn’t work. She would send me daily updates that they were safe and I truly appreciated that ☺️

The bit at 26:55 feels too personal and intimate to be on the internet. I felt like I was intruding on your relationship by 'being part' of that moment. The way he looks at you omgggg

The fact you had If It Means A Lot To You by A Day To Remember play at the beginning is honestly the loveliest thing ever. When I heard it live it brought tears to my eyes. I noticed Thomas had an ADTR t-shirt on in one of your videos and I loved seeing a fellow fan! Love the video!

What a great video! Thank you so much guys! 💚

I'm working as a Radiographer in Tallaght hospital at the minute and my boyfriend of 2 years is in Wexford. Finding it very tough but thanks so much for making this video! I know we will make it through and have good times again. Stay safe xxx

My most recently started relationship was mostly long distance. We became partners after a few dates and a LOT of talking via OKC then they moved about a month later to another state. We had weekly video chat/video game date nights, weekly overnight voice chats (falling asleep together on the phone and waking up the same), and a whole lot of talking via various digital means. Everytime we had a trip planned we would do countdowns of how many sleeps were left until we'd see each other again. They've since moved back to the same state as me (well, into my home with my other partners) and it's glorious but definitely was a bit hard during the away time.

I'm in a LDR and thank youu for being so open about being in a LDR and giving realistic advice. I'm currently in France, my girlfriend is currently in Canada, and we've been together for 16 months including a year long distance... So 6 hours of time difference (most we had was 9 hours when she was living in California), we usually only see each other every 2-3 months for 1-2 weeks. And as were both still pursuing our studies in our respective countries, the end date is not there yet... And now with the quarantine and borders closed, she probably won't be able to visit me in June, and I don't know if I will be able to spend a month with her in August-September like we planned... So we might have to spend like 8+ months apart for the first time. Which isn't fun. But we're very happy, in love and dedicated to making it work! Thank you again for feeling like this older sister full of fun and good advice!

Thanks for the video, tips,and because I'm going thru this now. I'm in a long distance relationship now,and I'm praying it will be over soon. But I'm trying to be humble, strong, positive, and motivated. It's not easy,but trust, loyalty,faithful, and communications goes a long way in a realtionship. And also with the conovirus going on as well makes it harder, and mix emotions at times. Please pray for us. I truly appreciate you guys taking the time out doing this,and because I know so many individuals all over the world is going thru this same situation.

I've been long distance (Brit dating a Canadian) for the last 2 years, and have only been spent a total of one month with my SO in person! Quarantine is in many ways easier for us at the moment because we've both finished school early and so have nothing to put barriers between us spending time together (apart from timezones), and it's been so interesting seeing our friends who have been forced to go long distance working it out for themselves. We've made long distance work for so long that I'm actually very comfortable with it, but it has put a spanner in the works with our plans for me to go to prom with them in Canada this summer... Still hoping that I'll get to see them again this year though, I miss them dreadfully!

Not long distance thank god. Honestly though watching these videos has made me push past my single ten year stretch. Seeing you guys fall in love and watching how much you guys love/respect each other, look at each other etc gave me hope. Pushed passed it and met the most amazing man ❤️❤️❤️ thank you both. I know ye are far from perfect but it’s beautiful to see a healthy balanced relationship. Thank you 😘

Your husband is so funny 🤣😂🤣😂

I've been in a ldr (Germany-USA) for over 3 years now. We usually see each other just 3 times a year and quarantine destroyed our plans for this whole entire year. We will see each other a lot later and won't be able to do things we were looking forward to since last year

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 months now and we only live 5 minutes away from each other but because of quarantine i haven't seen him in almost a month :( We've both been keeping in touch and facetiming every night. Despite not being able to physically be with each other, we've gotten closer and I'm super grateful for that. This video was definitely so comforting though, especially with all the fears and anxieties that come up when you're away from the person you love. Thank you

I can’t wait to hear your advice, I’ve never been very good at managing LDRs!! I hope you’re having a great day Melanie and doing well!! 💕

You guys are such a beautiful couple 🥰

My boyfriend and I have only been together four months but we’re not in isolation together, it’s been hard :( thank you for making this video, it has helped reassure me that it will be okay!

omg im so gonna improve myself and be happy and someday im gonna have this kind of amazing relationship !

I was/am in a v similar situation to yous back then! We became best friends all last summer, started dating at the Very end of summer and then like 2 weeks later I left for an Erasmus year in France lmao.... Navigating the dating stage long distance is a Mess and I definitely relate to the insecurity/not-sure-if-they-still-like you feelings. Definitely also agree on how long distance puts a gigantic microscope on the relationship and forces you to communicate a lot more than you normally would early on. I came home last month and thought that was the end of long distance but evidently not 🙃 . Really liked the video!

Me and my boyfriend were together for around 4 months when he moved the China for 3 months (we’re from England) for work, I was working full time so the time difference meant we could hardly ever call or FaceTime, it was horrible! We both have jobs where we work away from home a lot & now the bloody lockdown, so although it’s horrible we’re kind of used to it.. love watching videos like this, it’s very comforting!

For me, I don’t generally feel love day to day, usually only when I speak to my partner or something reminds me of them. I’ve learnt not to panic about this, I think I would know if I didn’t want to be with him. I’m just content!

Doing long distance until August due to Quarantine and having to leave college. It’s tough but this video made me smile so wide. It gave me hope!!!

My (now) ex-boyfriend of 3 years and I had been doing LDR for half a year because we went to Universities in different cities and I think that loving one another isn't really the key to dating long-distance. The key is having a future together... So my ex and I realized that we did not know what our future would look like together thanks to this quarantine.

I've been with my boyfriend for a year, and he's moved out to another city far away, and it's been three months since we've seen eachother, and I feel the same way as you said in the video! I need constant reassurance that he still loves me or for him to text me or send me photos of anything just to know that he is thinking of me! Also I'm very much a "clingy" as telling him sweet things and constantly remind him that I love him and miss him, but then I feel like I'm a pain in the ass even tho he says I'm not hahah, so yeah. In general, I can say we're okay, but sometimes it is a bit difficult

My bf and I did long distance without seeing each other for a full year. Then we had 10 days together and another 4 months till i moved to his country. We lived together for 2 years (i think I can count on my fingers how many nights I went to sleep without him there) but now we are stuck long distance again as I was visiting my family in my home country when all the flights cancelled. Because of the time difference I leave him an audio before I go to bed, so when we wakes up he has something for me. Then he records one for me so when I wake up I have something from him! And we talk after he finishes work. We either face time/skype or call everyday, varying lengths, depending on how we feel. We used to do it 3 days a week though, but now we don't have other things to do and are used to living with each other, we hadn't been apart for even one night since I moved there! We are pros at this now, and like you said, so much detail, we agree to be honest about how we're feeling about everything, contact wise (if we want more/less/different). LDR needs are different, our love languages are physical touch also, and we just had to learn how to communicate love through the other ones! Honestly I still have this anxiety, or worry, that the longer this goes on it will be harder. I don't know when I'll be able to get to him (or getting a work visa for him to come here?), it's not so easy for me to get from New Zealand to Argentina...
