"There are creeps out there. Be careful ladies. I was just lucky" I appreciate the note for your more impressionable audience. I also love your personality. Chào from a vietnamese American!

After being in toxic relationships, it is very healing to see a healthy couple who support each other, share their burdens, and respect their needs. And have fun together!

Whenever you talk about your relationship, the most beautiful thing to me is that it sounds like your partner gave you a lot of confidence and helped you accept yourself the way you are. That is very special in my opinion.

It is a relief that your boyfriend turned out to be such a nice and sweet person. It is quite difficult to actually trust someone whom none of your friends or family know and who also lives miles and miles away. He's a keeper.

Oh boy. I met my German boyfriend in 1994 while he was in the US. He moved back to Germany in 1996. So we were long distance until 2000 when I moved to Germany. There was no FaceTime, no real email…..we faxed each other letters.😮 It was so hard. We got married in 2000 and now have two children almost done with school. Life is crazy!

Uyen, I just wanted to say how much my wife and I enjoy your content. I am American and my wife is Korean. 25 years ago we went through similar distance and cross cultural struggles. We love hearing your stories that remind us of the fun things that have happened in our past. Further more, last year we moved to Vietnam for my work, and your content explaining Vietnamese culture has really helped up settle in.

My wife and I survived our long distance relationship and it brings back a lot of memories hearing you talk about all the little details. Timezone differences (4-5hrs), sending each other gifts, sharing photos from our day. We both had android watches and could set the background of the others watch, I remember that feature being removed (classic Google) so being an engineer I just built that feature myself.

as a german i can proudly and with confidence give your bf the seal of "proper german"! may others join his footsteps to make this world a happier place!

i love your content ❤ edit: i think it’s incredibly real and important that you mentioned how you felt like you had to keep your relationship secret due to the dynamic with your parents. people don’t understand what it’s like when your parent is from a rural village in a foreign country, things are so different. you cant just tell your mom “im an adult mind your own business” in that way. and when you’re a baby adult, it’s difficult and scary to manage the transition from dependent to independent. thank you for mentioning that. also, i think german bf is completely correct about keeping your day to day lives involved despite the distance. that’s the first connection that’s severed when you’re LD, your daily lives are totally separate and many people begin drifting from there. but by making an effort in small moments, even land and oceans cant separate love.

My parents met in South Africa over 50 years ago while my mom was visiting a friend there. They ended up doing long distance by snail mail before both moved to Canada, where my siblings, and I were born. I can't imagine doing it by letter only! But I admire their patience and perseverance. These stories are so magical 🥰

I'm in a long distance relationship and this video not only cheered me up from seeing the two of you so happy together, but it also gave me hope that the relationship I'm in can also work out! I'm from the northern part of Sweden and my boyfriend is from California in the US. We've been together for almost 1 and half years now and we met for the first time last summer. Pretty much every single person I've talked to who's been in a long distance relationship has told me to break up and move on before I get to attached/involved... I can understand their point, they obviously care and they understand that this kind of relationship comes with a lot challenges and IT IS difficult. My love language is all about cuddles, hugs, playing videogames on the couch together, reading a book on the bed while he programs, honestly anything that involves seeing the other person and being close to them. He's very much the same, some of our best times during out first time meeting last years was spent just cuddling or going out on walks with my dog(at the time puppy). Making food together and laughing our asses of when I was trying to have him pronounce different groceries in Swedish. Little things, everyday things, those are the moments that me and him talk about the most when we're apart. He's coming back to Sweden this summer, in almost 10 weeks exactly and I can't wait to experience all of those things all over again. Thank you once again for the super sweet video and I wish the two of you the absolute best

"Be careful ladies, creeps are everywhere. I was just lucky" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'M DYING, I CAN'T BREATHE 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I've been watching your videos for quite some time and I have to say, its lovely to see you both in such an amazing relationship

I agree with not telling your parents when you're still new and starting a relationship! The stress and pressure Vietnamese families put on you is UNREAL. I am a Australian born Viet and my husband is from Vietnam and my parents knew about our relationship from DAY 1 and it is something both my husband and I regret cause there were so many times they would tell us to break-up/ tell us what we should do/ how we should live/ how things should be etc. It was so stressful and at the same time so hard to ignore your family's opinion at the same time! It wasn't until we married and moved out that they finally saw me as an adult who can make their own decision. My husband is also my first love, and also I haven't had my heart broken either! >.< But it was a lot of hard work (like visa paperwork, maintaining contact) to make our relationship work but worth it in the end! We also did the same thing as you guys where we texted/ called for HOURS and would send pictures of what we were eating, going out, and basically everything that was happening in our daily lives to make it feel like we were always together and we were never sick of it! >.< Sending love and blessings to you both!

You might miss this comment but let me say that I’ve always stumble across your shorts on youtube and I find it is refreshing to see someone that is proud of being themselves in a natural raw way. You just gain a new subscriber and a fan! And I adore your love story! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love from Malaysia

My partner and I were long distance relationship for 4 years before we lived together. It was difficult, but with love and determination, we made it work.

My husband and I have a similar long distance love story, but ours was Scotland - USA. The things you’re saying about others being worried about him staying faithful or seeing couples walking around, I can really sympathize with that. Spending tons of time on our phone schedule, it’s lovely to see the similarities. I’m happy for you guys and that you managed to combine your lives too❤

I had a long distance relationship with my hubby too! He was in USA and I was in China. We spent 3 yrs of long distance before I permanently move to the US. We did pretty much the same like what both of you did! And I would never changed this long distance relationship to anything else. It's such a rewarding testament! We wish both of you lifetime of happiness together 💕

Our 1 year long distance relationship was long enough for me. It was a very emotional time. You cry while being appart because you miss each other, and you cry when together because you don't want to leave each other again. I am German and he is a Kiwi. In the end it was worth it, LDR really strenghtened our relationship. Now we live together in New Zealand since 2018 and we are so so happy and greatful that we met. But it is hard to live far away from family, and it probably will get harder the older my family gets.

I discovered and subscribed to your shorts a few months ago and as a British/European who married a German European who has also lived on 3 continents I had to admit every single one of your shorts is spot on! Viva la Difference!!

My husband and I are both from the US but we lived in different states when we first started dating. We were 1600 miles away from each other and you are SO spot on when you said that the pain of separating after a visit gets worse! I ended up moving out to his state and it was nerve wracking. As you said, there is no guarantee it will work out but it was worth the risk! Happily married for 4 year this autumn ❤️

This is absolutely couples goals. You two really seem like soulmates. It just shows that when you meet the right person, no obstacle is too great.

i’m currently in a long distance relationship with my german bf for over a year! i live in australia, but i’m filipino so i can relate to u a lot as an asian with a german bf who is in an ldr… i love you guys i’m so happy it worked out in the end! i hope my relationship can work out too like yours has❤

Hello from Finland! 🇫🇮 Our whole family loves your channel! ❤️ Thank you for making content that makes us smile! 😍😘

Absolutely thankful for that filter it allows German boyfriend to be part of it and helps him still maintain his anonymity like he wants to

As someone who is currently doing long distance (I'm in Japan and he's in Canada), this is so wonderful and hopeful. I can attest that daily video calls are extremely important! ❤

As someone who is in a LDR myself (but within Germany, only a couple of hours apart), I can relate to many of the points you mentioned. The way you guys speak about each other and help each other grow is SO precious! That's what a good relationship is all about! Big hug to both of you!

It was the most wholesome video I've watched in a while. Didn't want it to end. I have a ldr partner and we're about to move in together in a year and I'm terrified and so happy about it!! Cheers to all ldr peeps out there!

It's good to see relationships work out. Long distance won't stop couples who are serious about their relationship and decide they won't be defeated by inconvenience. Thank you for sharing your story!

i did long distance with my wife for 4 years. this was extended by covid restrictions, which meant we couldn't even travel to see each other! I can say we are happily married now. However, it was so difficult during that time. Massive respect for going through it. I know, it's not easy. I recognize so much of your video. We went through almost all of this.

I’m so glad that you and German Boyfriend toughed it out through that time. The fact that you two stayed together for three years long distance speaks volumes for how good your relationship is! I also had a long distance relationship for a year before I moved to be with him. And now it’s been 25 years since we got together. 😊 I wish you and German Boyfriend many many many years of happiness!

Been in long distance with my Japanese girlfriend for a year now, me living in France, and I feel very good watching this video, I can really identify, and I now fear less having to be separated for longer, in the end I know we will end up together and live together! Great story from the both of you, stay happy

My sister had a long distance relationship with her now husband. He lived in Georgia USA and she lived in Brussels Belgium, they'd met once at a party and instantly clicked, love at first sight. Then they reconnected online and talked to each other for 5 years! He started projects of returning to Central America where he's from, where he built a house. He proposed to her and their entire engagement was spent online. In the end my dad and my other sister went to her wedding and it's now been 10 years of marriage, they have a little girl who is bright like the sun. I'm so happy stories like yours and hers happen!

As an american girl who is in a long distance relationship with a man in Sicily, across the world, this really helps me gain the confidence to believe we too can get here some day! I love how you really lay down what made it work and how dedicated you both were throughout the years. I love your content and how down to earth you are. Thank you Uyen!

Thanks Uyen, both for showing us how a ldr works and reminding us what a healthy relationship is like! I've had few examples of that in my life, and seeing two people care so deeply for each other is simply heartwarming. Everybody could learn from it, even those of us who are not in a ldr! Love from Italy 🇮🇹💙

Soon you will have 1 million followers.

Oh wow I've never been this early! Just wanted to say I love the fact that both you and your BF wear clothes like the daisy sweater, pink robe and green hoodie that are instantly recognizable in your videos! You two wearing their favourite clothes all the time is so relatable!

Long distance relationships are definitely challenging and can take a mental toll on you when they are not physically there with you. After all the trials and tribulations, seeing you share your life, your experiences, and your story with your German boyfriend is absolutely wonderful. THANK YOU.

You guys are just so wholesome ☺️ Eta, I could listen to the stories of you and German Boyfriend for hours. You both sound like amazing people to hang out with. Caring and considerate.

I'm so happy to hear these types of stories :) my boyfriend lives an hour away but I couldn't imagine two different countries

What a great realistic story! Thank you for sharing. I love the experiences you share especially about Germany bc when I moved there I had similar experiences!

This is so adorable! I loved hearing more of your story, you two crack me up with the humor and teasing in your normal content and to see that deep foundation behind it makes it even better. I’m going to have to make a joke to my boyfriend that we weren’t long distance but long time, we met as teenagers and were friends but it took us over a decade to notice each other that way and how well we fit together.

What a wonderful, and up-lifting story. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Currently 2 years into a long distance relationship with a German boyfriend of my own :3 Your videos have definitely a big source of comfort and inspiration for me, and I absolutely love watching them all!

This filled my heart all the way up. I received something so precious here. I got to see what „staying power“ looks like. And I agree, you were meant to be. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤

I love how you shared such practical stories of you experience with your fiancé! It demonstrated how long distance is A LOT of work and it must be balanced from both sides. Wish you both all the best!!!

You guys give us HOPE! ⚓️ Watching you on a regular base makes my neurons create new connections in believing in truthful love and POSETIVITY again. It’s like a therapy homework 😅. Love it and thank you for your content ❤. All the best for you!

Aww. So glad it worked out so well for the two of you! Too many more happy years together🎉

I LOVE your relationship and I am so glad you guys made it through the long distance!! You are both so genuine and sweet. So happy you found each other!

Thanks for allowing us glimpses into your real life!!! I have been watching you for a while now and you are my absolute favorite channel!! You're so down to earth and so funny!!! It makes my day whenever you put something new out.

I really like your balanced approach- on the surface it might seem like your story is a fairytale but it shows that such lovely stories are only possible when the people involved are balanced, pragmatic and respectful of each other. You moving to Germany was clearly a carefully considered decision with both arriving at a sensible conclusion. Best wishes!!

I just gotta say that I really enjoy your videos and it makes my day a tad better everytime. Also, congratulations to german boyfriend for having the courage to appear in your videos and tell us a little bit about his perspective of things as well . ♥

The relationship you & German BF have makes me feel pure, simple joy in my heart. You don't even know me, but you've given me that gift. From my heart, thank you!! Many blessings to you both!

I came across your channel a few months ago. I love your shorts and longer videos! You both seem so kind and fun to be around. Thank for your being so genuine! It’s so refreshing to watch 😊 I wish you both all the best! Greetings from Belgium

So glad to hear your guy’s LDR story is basically a success story! ❤Seeing your story and your content in general makes me really happy! 😊I’m also in a LDR with my partner, and I can’t relate to the struggles.. in fact when you mentioned how hard it when seeing other couples all the time, or how sad you would feel even when you would spend time together because you knew you would have to be apart again.. it kinda made me tear up 😢 I think it’s really brave you made the decision and moved on with being the one to relocate. Immigration is not easy at all 😢

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful love story! I am in tears because of how amazing your love for each other is. I admire how each of you is so considerate and thoughtful of the other’s feelings and desires. It’s obvious that you cherish and adore one another. I’m excited to be able to witness more of your love story unfold. Sending you both so much love and joy! ❤🐼🐻

It's quite funny how many parallels I see between your long-distance relationship and mine. Even if it's "only" 500 km with us, we do pretty much the same thing you did. Telephone in the morning before work and in the evening after work, write to us about everything we do in everyday life and have never regretted it and very spontaneously after our first meeting to decide on the long-distance relationship. It's only been 1.5 years for us, but listening to you like this makes me even more optimistic that things can go just as well for us as for you, thank you for that ❤

I was so touched by the descriptions of how he looks out for you, including your mental/emotional well being! He loves you! ❤

Your long form content makes me feel calm and peaceful. Thank you!

OMG I feel this video. Thank you for sharing your story! My boyfriend and I have also been doing long distance for over two years now. Luckily it is a "not so long distance"-relationship from Germany to Switzerland, with me living in Bavaria and him close to the Swiss-Austrian-German border region, but sometimes it is harddd. Especially not being able to experience nice things together on a daily basis or missing the cuddles. Hearing positive stories like yours always lifts my spirits

thank you so much for this content! I'm about to go for a at least 2 year long distance relationship due to work. Listening to you talking about this, and reading the comments, gives me so much strength! I know my partner and I will be just fine. :)

I'm also in ldr and i know it will work. We both are watching your videos and it gives us boost. Even it still hurts not having your other half next to you. We are so happy to see that it's not impossible. Thank you. ❤ Also for all who are in ldr. It's tough, but it's possible and totally worth it. ❤ Don't give up.

It's so lovely to witness your LDR story. It's super heart warming

you just made me realize: "you just have to find the right guy." I have done so many of these things - sending someone long distance nice presents, trying to stay in contact every day and involve them in your everyday life, try to meet up - but if the other person is not putting in the effort/ is not 100% honest about what this is for him/ is just avoidant/cheating/lying, then really there's nothing I could have done differently. Thanks for showing me that there really is nothing wrong with me, but rather I just *have to find the right guy to give all of my love to* . I once heard "imagine you could give that much love to the wrong guy - imagine how much more you can give to the right guy and how great that will be". Seeing you together just verifies that. Love that you've found each other and German boyfriend really is a keeper!! Glad for you two! Kind regards from Austria

I had a smile THROUGHOUT this video. My boyfriend and I are in a LDR right now and it’s difficult, but we love your videos because it reaffirms what we believe about love. Thank you for sharing your life with us 😊❤

This is so sweet and uplifting to watch! Thank you for sharing!

You’re such a delight to watch and listen to. And what a story! I’m in a 10 year long distance relationship myself, we’ve been married for the past two. Anyhow, I watched some of your videos and found them very interesting, the stories, they are fascinating. I love hearing about how other people experience life in different cultures :) thank you for sharing!

You keep yourself so genuine that’s what I love about you the most. We grew up in a very similar cultural background, so everything you said I can feel it from the bottom of my heart. ❤ Love you guys

Me( from South East Asia) and my boyfriend (from Switzerland) are in the same situation. We have been together for almost 3 years and it is difficult for us to meet because of covid and political situation in my country. But I will be moving to Germany (not Switzerland LOL) in a few months to study so we can be closer and see each other every now and then. There're many struggles like cultural difference and time difference, we are still going strong and hopeful for our future together. ❤️

This is the stuff that KZfaq should be all about! Of course I consume other types of stuff but wholesome life content is definitely top tier!

Those shots of you in the pool with your floaties are so cute. You guys are the best.

I'm in a long distance relationship rn, and your video gives me so much hope for the best, I hope mine will work out as well as yours did. I'm rewatching this video every time it gets hard, just to remind myself that our dream will eventually come true. You, guys, are absolutely amazing, I wish you all the best and super happy life ever after!

Thanks for sharing all of these to us. I'm just very happy for you both, and look forward to whatever experiences you share to us in the future ❤

Thank you for sharing your story! I was also in a long distance relationship with my partner (though not nearly as far away) for two years before I moved to be closer to them and I can relate to a lot of what you were describing. It was very hard but the reactions I got from people being negative about long distance made it way harder than it needed to be!

You both made my day brighter, thank you so much

I also had a LDR with my ex and it’s not about distance or lack of physical touch. I was so happy even with just a text from him. We shared things we do, news we read and food we eat every day. The problem is that we are not compatible for each other. I was trying so hard to keep that relationship but not received the same energy from him. 😢

Just found out your channel. I’m a Viet too and I was in the same situation of a Vietnam-America long distance relationship with lots of hope and positivity, but I was not as lucky as you. I just ended it up recently after almost 2 years, feeling desperated and miserable. As we can see, this type of relationship is not for everyone, and you are in the lucky list. I’m happy for you and hope you have a happy life with your choice, you deserve it ❤

That's a great story, and I'm glad you found someone who loves you for your genuine self. ❤

This made me very happy to listen to :-) Especially the part when you explained that your boyfriend helped you overcome your insecurities about your appearance by telling you you are beautiful no matter what -- with or without make-up. I was in a relationship in which my partner would refuse to call me pretty or beautiful, but insisted I was cute instead. I never really cared for my appearance that much, so anyone telling me this wouldn't have affected me as much, but somehow as my partner, I thought he at least should see me as beautiful -- if not, who else? Especially since he was generally praised for being good-looking (by me and others!). So it really affected me and lessened my (already ver low) self confidence. I hope to be in a situation where I find myself beautiful without the help of anyone :-) And if I do date someone, that this person will find me beautiful no matter what! And I wish the same for everyone else too!

Your advice is spot on! I was in an online relationship for over seven years. We met online when I was 14 and he was 12. We shared almost everything together. We finally met when I was 22 and engaged a year later. Now its been a total of 15 years and I wouldn't have it any other way.

This video gives me such hope since me and my boyfriend are also living in separate countries, not as far apart as Germany and Vietnam but still. It’s nice to hear that it actually can work out and turn out super well in the end!

You're such a breath of fresh air on KZfaq. I recently discovered you and I can't stop watching your channel. Hugs from Romania!

What a beautiful video! Learning all about your Love 💕 Story, plus all the great pictures, was so wonderful to see. THANK YOU for sharing your lives with us! 💞

So sweet ❤ Your story is very empowering for everyone, who also tries to keep up with long distance... thanks for sharing 🤗🤗

Ahw thank you for sharing this part of your relationship as well! I am touched. So beautiful. ❤

Thank you for this video - I'm also in a long distance relationship at the moment, and it's very comforting to hear your experience and relate to it! Also to know and hope that it will all turn out ok in the end!

Coming from a short long distance relationship and quick decision with a fast „fix“ which cost me a lot professionally and emotionally during my lifetime, I am incredibly happy for you both. I admire you both and with you very happy and healthy 70-80 years anniversaries together.

Your story is so sweet. All the best for the future!

the way you describe your own changes toward loving yourself more and more because of his support is exactly what a good healthy relationship is like. I remember that happening with my husband too, i dont wear make up or perfume whatsoever anymore and i embrace my little light leg hairs eithout razoring them and so on. We are beautiful humans and dont need that anxiety. if people dress/make up/shave/ etc because it makes them happy, cool! but if it is just because one is afraid to look themselves in the eye in the mirror...then it is not good. You never had your heart broken... you are one lucky woman. :)

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤ I can't imagine how hard it must have been to adapt to a new country and culture. I am so happy for you both that it all worked out 😊

Aw Uyen your tears are so touching! You're truly genuine and I think it would be something to know you in person.

Me and my boyfriend started dating 6 months ago and now I moved back from Korea to Germany last Sunday. Seeing this video really gives me hope that we can actually do 3 years of long distance as well. I'm very happy it worked out for you that well!

I aspire for my relationship to reach the point yours has 🥰 we've been long distance for over a year now and our dynamic is similar to yours. I am hopeful things will continue going as well as they have. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for showing us it's possible ❣️ with constant communication, love, respect, efforts, kindness ! It's so hard to feel alone in this situation while your friends don't believe it can last without him cheating on you (as if men can't control themselves! Not everyone is interested in casual relationships, some of them actually have values and respect the relationship). You look good for each other, I wish you the best

Wonderful video!! Yes, LDR is tough... glad that you guys managed to go through those years

Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass du inzwischen genug deutsch verstehst. Ich finde es sehr nett von euch, dass ihr uns so viel von eurem Leben erzählt. Vielen Dank dafür. Schön, dass dein Freund dieses mal zu sehen ist und auch was erzählt. Und ich kann ihm nur zustimmen: du siehst auch ungeschminkt gut - und vor allem nett - aus!

Kudos to you two. Long distance relationships are extremely hard. I did a year and a half of long distance marriage with my wife and it was brutally difficult.

Love you guys and your attitude towards each other. Such kindness, patience and grace. Inspirational!

Thanks for posting all this and your other content. It brings back memories of the early days of me and my wife when I met her in Taiwan. Never a long distance thing, and neither Vietnam or Germany involved, but a lot of the same funny things happening.

the dedication and communication you and your fiancé put into your long distance relationship is beautiful. you guys deserve all the happiness❤ congratulations!
