Long Distance Relationship || My experience

I am currently in a long distance relationship - we have 4 years as friends and 1 year in a relationship. At first I didn´t wanted to get involved with him more serioulsy due to this point but we have been talking a lot and sharing important things throug the virtual world and it began being a very important person for me.

I met him on Facebook, I was passing through a hard moment due to ending a not so serious relationship with a boy that lives here in my city and I had my feelings very messed up and also I was in the middle of a depression and I started talking with him with insecurities and at the same time with desires to not be alone in that moment with my feelings and thoughts and he understood me very well and without judgement when I shared things with him.

So, the first years we limited ourselves to talk on messenger and sometimes seeing us through Skype and we wanted to have a serious relationship but we stopped oursleves from having it because we knew it was going to be hard and we didn´t had the money to do trips to meet - he because of is age and he was still studying and me due to not having a job at that time - and I was supervised by my mom and doctors due to my depression so I had to be healthy and not involving me in another toxic relationship.

I didn´t wanted to feel so much, so I assisted myself in not getting so involved and not feeling more for him and so developing common sense and saying to myself it was going to be difficult, but we kept talking and knowing each other more and more but we were open to know people here in our cities and we tried to find a normal relationship near us. I went on dates with boys but all wanted to have a ¨free" relationship - not a serious one - only based in sex and that´s all. I already had that type of relationship and I didn´t wanted to be in another one and so I decided to stop looking and stop dating.

( L) and me stopped talking also for a year, but we were still friends on Facebook and I met another guy - again on Facebook LOL, and we started talking. He lives in Texas and I was very excited because this guy was very handsome and I fell inlove very quickly, I believed that he was going to be different and he was going to be serious but although we started a virtual relationship I felt very insecure due to reading between lines in our conversations and seeing that he wanted to date more girls and being impatient due to being far away from me, so we ended our relationship.

Then, my actual boyfriend ( L. ) and I started talking again and I had the chance to save the money to go to visit him once and for all and I did last year and was great cause we talked and decided to fight for our relationship and so stop fears and resistance and work together for being together one day.

Having a Long Distance Relationship is hard due to not being near for going out in a daily basis and be intimate and touch ourselves but we are connected all day and we try to talk by the phone once per day and see each other on Skype one time a week, and we are intimate being honest with each other and sharing all our thoughts and feelings and not hiding anything. We are convinced that we are made for each other and we want to build a future together so we are patient in relation to working to have a better position within the world in terms of economy.

In my trips I had the chance to know more about him due to being in the same hotel room or house and so we can see how each other behave and do things. At this moment I don´t have any bad experience. I am going to visit him again in a few days and I will be staying at his place for 2 weeks so we can know each other better for more time.

My experience has been great. Yes, I miss him everyday and I wish I could be nearer to him to go out to the movies, to eat together but when I have the opportunity to go and visit him I have a great time cause it´s like I knew him for many time and I try to enjoy to the fullest all the days I am there and when I come home I have it near when I open my computer or my cellphone and well, I found want I wanted in a person even if it is far away from me now. I hope we can be together soon for more time.
