I have to say the distance thing really isn’t for everyone, I became romantically involved with my other half when he was literally at the other side of the world, it took us a full year to actually see each other although we spoke every day on FaceTime, he then had to fly back and we spent another whole year apart before he was finally able to get here for good and he then became my husband just last week
If you both really want it to work you would literally go to the ends of the earth to make sure it did!
