Our story:
I don’t think I’ve ever felt pain as bad as I have in this relationship. Standing at Heathrow and saying goodbye each time to my boyfriend, Cameron, of 3 years has to fly back to the US is one of the hardest things. Yes, it certainly did start on the internet – as much as we tried to avoid admitting we were falling for each other, we couldn’t stop ourselves. We would send letters to each other and items of clothing so we could feel close to one another. We were so emotionally attached that people thought it was unhealthy and fake to be so in love with someone you have never met. I would hear the same thing: “Hannah, you’re 17 and he’s 20, you don’t know anything.” It wasn’t until 2 years later that we finally got to meet. The most supportive person was my Mum. She agreed to let Cameron stay in our house because she knew how important it was to us and she trusted my judgement. So, he worked for an entire year to raise money for a flight, and finally after I turned 1…, I went to collect him from the airport. We spent the most incredible 2 months together – I’ve never felt such a connection with anyone, and after years of struggling with most aspects of my life, I was truly happy and I felt on top of the world to be with this amazing, gorgeous, fun guy. When it came to his last day in England, we cried and held each other at the airport until he had to go. It tore me apart but we agreed we had to see each other again at Christmas. So the next 4 months were even harder than ever before. Christmas came and it was beautiful. Moving into 2012 with Cameron was magical – it was a time I never thought I would see with him. He only left London 2 weeks ago and already I can’t stand it. I have another 4 months until I see him and I know it’s going to be so tough. I love him so much.
I find it hard to comprehend that I deserve to be as happy as this. We only have one more year until he moves to London for his master’s degree and will be living in a flat with me. I can’t believe we have made it this far. I know we are only young, but we are so in love and so grateful for the opportunities and support we have been given. We will do anything to make this work and finally be with each other.
A long distance relationship is going to very painful, but with effort on both parts, it can work and it can most certainly be fulfilling. If you are willing to truly commit and give your all, nothing can stop you. Good luck to everyone out there enduring LDR’s – have faith. J

Tu me manques tellement.
The second I stopped looking for someone, the person I’d always dreamed of found me. Benjamin and I met at yearbook camp of all places, and I was immediately intrigued. Two incredible weeks later, I asked him to be my boyfriend, despite the fact that he was moving two hours away for college the next night. We went on like this for nine months; texting all day, video chatting once a week, and only getting to see each other around one weekend out of every month. We made it through the school year, and got to spend the most amazing summer together. From the beginning, Ben had planned to travel abroad in France at the end of the summer, just as I started my freshman year of college. The bottom photo is us saying goodbye at the airport, right before he walked onto a plane to fly a whole ocean away from me. I was terrified, and I didn’t know what would happen between us, but what we have is strong, and he surprised me and came home early for Christmas. He had to leave again on New Years Day, but at the end of March, it’s my turn to fly to him and we’re going to spend a week together in Paris. We’ve been together for a little short of a year and a half now. This is undoubtedly not the easiest relationship I could have chosen, but I have never been happier in my life. He’s the most incredible man I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to finally be done with saying goodbye, but I would wait as I had to in order to be in his arms again. I’m his with every waking breath, and our relationship is a testament to the fact that long distance is possible, if what you have is truly worth fighting for. I love you, Benjamin.

This is my boyfriend Jeremy and I. We’ve been together for 8 months now, and right now we are at opposite parts of the globe - he in Germany and I in New Zealand. He has gone to Germany to live for a year - we’re now 11,000 miles apart and it comforts me to be part of such a community where there are lots of different LDR relationships, but we all have love in common. We might not have been together for as long as other people, and he might not have been away as long as other people.. We also might not be apart as long as other people. I also don’t have to worry about his safety like other people. While we will not be able to see each other except on the other side of a computer screen, he will come home to me in a year’s time, and it scares me that we may be different by then. He is on a Rotary exchange where he will live with host families for a year and go to a German school, while I will be starting university.
I’m saddened we will be apart longer than we’ve been together, and it will be sad to see our anniversary pass by without being able to spend it together - though hopefully we will be able to in the years to come. Some of you are probably reading this and you may likely not be as sympathetic if you are in love with someone and you may never be fully together again. I completely feel for you. I have been in one of those relationships myself, and it didn’t work out. For me, the best thing in my life has been taken away from me for a long time, and although it will fly by for him, it’s so much harder when you’re the poor sap waiting back home. I have been told as such by his older sister, who likewise was in a relationship where her boyfriend went on exchange - and I already feel the difference. He is blissfully excited and I would love to go and share those things with him, but I can’t. I’m happy for him, but sad he’s not with me. It’s all very complicated. My parents are quite doubtful that we will be together for a whole year while he’s away. They think he or I will find someone else - he can’t actually do that as Rotary forbids dating anyone in your new country. His parents are much more supportive, and at the surprise leaving party I organized for him and his twin, I received much support from various other family members. While I will soon only live a few streets away from his family, it will be harder if my parents don’t support my relationship. They like him, of course they do. They are extremely fond of him in comparison to my previous boyfriends, but they doubt an LDR will work. Does/did anyone else have that problem, and how do I deal with that?I will be here waiting until he comes back to me, and in that time I will stay as a part of this community. :) If anyone would like to speak to me, feel free to send messages to my Tumblr. It would give me strength as much as it might anyone else.
I know that if our relationships work out, it’s meant to be. Only the strongest relationships can last while you’re apart, and I hope mine will be one of them. Que sera, sera. <3

This is me and my boyfriend James. We both live in the UK but still far enough to class our relationship as long distance. We met online on a website called Dailybooth, when I first saw a picture of him I couldn’t believe a guy that gorgeous was talking to a girl like me. We had been on and off talking for about 6 months before me decided to meet. When we met, it was perfect. I just held him, I was so happy.
We’ve been together for almost 8 months now, but last night we hit a kind of rush patch, since we’ve both started college it’s been so difficult for us to keep the relationship up. It’s just do difficult :( But we talked through it and we both love each other too much to give up this easily.
He doesn’t know this himself, and he probably won’t see this so I’ll say it here. I’m only 17 but I feel like I want to spend the rest of my life with this boy. I love him so much and no amount of miles will ever change that.
