I’m so glad to have experienced a long distance relationship for two years. It made me open up to a completely different world and now makes my new short distance relationships even stronger!

My boyfriend and I just started with LDR last week. And in 46 days he will be flying down. It may not seem long to most people. But him and I were side by side for months on end. So thank you so much for this video, I love your content!!

[heelamomand]

Oh Sydney thank you for making this video ! I haven’t seen my boyfriend in over 1 year and 6 months it’s extremely tough . I am hoping and praying every day to see him again . Knowing that someone else has bene through what I am going through gives me hope that I can do it too . Plus I I’ve been in LDR for 5 years now

[Jlife]

I appreciate your advice and your 6+ years motivates me even more to not give up. It was over 890 days when I last saw my fiancé. Seeing her last month was everything and hopefully next month will be even more amazing than the last time.

This helped me so much im in an LDR and i just got back from seeing my boyfriend today anyone in an LDR knows that pain but this helped a lot even just to feel not alone in this

[gabrigonzalez]

Thank you for the tips! I have been doing LDR with my boyfriend for 2.5 years. He is from Germany while I am from Spain. We luckily got the chance to see each other a couple of times, although its going to be other 3 months till I can see him again. Sometimes the waiting in the LDR can be really discouraging and can hit you real bad (I know its something that really affects my bf for instance), although I genuinely believe that with effort and dedication it can really work!

[ToucheTJ]

Ah yes LDRs can def be a challenge! I'm still working in mine, but the distance is soooo close to being closed 😍

[juula]

Switzerland and Korea LDR, wish us luck 🥲

I'm in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend for 9.5 months now. We have not met each other yet and our plan to see each other keeps postponing due to covid. Our timezones are 13 hours apart.

[KateRamsayy]

Such good advice, I love the part about making each other part of your world! 👏🏼 So excited for you going to England 🥺❤️

[ikhebzoeenhonger]

I'm so so glad that you and your bf are still together! Also, thank you for the video, it spreads such positive vibes 💕

[Soul]

I love this video so much 😭 I'm currently in a long distance right now and this video helped me get a better understanding of how can I improve on my part and make it better 💜

[jessicanameh]

Thank you! But I think I was also expecting advice on jealousy in long distance and fighting bad scenarios that play in your head when he's far away. It was helpful thank you and I hope you close the distance soon permanently 💓💓💓💓💓💓

[KoQuitlam]

My GF lives in Canada. I am in the Netherlands. We just talk everyday. Having a schedule for doing phone calls (9h time difference). We just keep working on our future together❤️

[emilyrenshaw]

Each time I see him I’m just so over the distance and so ready to move in together. Two years and counting… it doesn’t get easier, you just learn to cope. And we only live 70 miles apart 🥴

[marilyn.ortega]

I’m about to move out of state for an entire semester and I won’t be able to see my boyfriend for the first time since we started dating four years ago. this is perfecting timing 😭❤️
