    oh so exciting!!!! craig and i did LD for about a year, but i think the key is patience. it’s important to remember you each won’t understand each other’s living quirks right away! i know it’s tough to remember when you’re in the moment, but a good “i’m sorry” with a favorite treat always worked for me πŸ˜‰

      Thank you for sharing, Alex! I know it’ll definitely be a transition, but I’m really looking forward to it. Not having to pay so much to see him will definitely be one of the perks πŸ˜‰

  2. YAY! So exciting! The majority of our dating relationship was spent long distance, and it sucks. I am so happy for you!

      Thank you, Chelsea! It’s certainly challenging, but I’ve loved that we’ve been able to travel while he’s been in Atlanta. I would go so far as to say seeing Nashville and Savannah were worth it πŸ˜‰

    Nelson and I were not only apart while we dated (he was in SΓ£o Paulo, I was in EspΓ­rito Santo), but for the first 2 years of marriage too (he was in the US, I was still in Brazil). Yeah, pretty unconventional, having a long distance marriage, right? Ha! It all turned out fine, we’ve been under the same roof for almost 8 years now. As Alex said, patience is key, but also having your own plans and time. You’ll see it’s as hard as it seems. πŸ˜‰ All the best to you two!

      That’s incredible! Serious props to you two for making the best of the situation. I’ve talked to a few of my friends about long distance, but if they haven’t experienced it, it’s hard for them to really understand how difficult (yet rewarding), it can be. Thank you so much for sharing your story! Luckily, T. and I are both incredibly busy and usually out of the apt, so I think we’ll be able to really treasure the time we have together – I can’t wait! πŸ™‚
