Overcoming negative stereotypes about long-distance relationships, the author shares her journey from a chance meeting over drinks to marrying her long-distance boyfriend. Despite societal beliefs that such relationships are challenging, their deep connection prompted them to take a risk. For 10 months, they managed the distance through effective communication and romantic gestures. Setting mutual goals helped them stay focused and connected until a decision was made to close the distance, ultimately leading to their marriage.
We made our long-distance relationship work and now we're married. I'm glad I listened to my heart.
Still, the negative connotations didn't stop me when I met my now-husband. Our connection was simply too strong, and I knew I'd regret it if I didn't go for it.
We were long-distance for 10 months, seeing each other only twice before I moved to the UK in May 2019.
What I think helped most was us setting ongoing goals for our relationship. At first this was planning visits, then it was deciding on a permanent move.
