I thought I had a long distance relationship with Maddie being in north England and me being almost as south as you can get.
Hard to believe we've almost been together a year already.
They are a good thing. If you love someone then you love someone. You've got to try and overcome the obstacles which can be tough sometimes.
Communication is really important when you're far apart. We text alot and talk to each other on Skype almost every night so technology has helped alot in making that easier.
We try and see each other at least once a month and when we do we visit for at least a week to make it worthwhile. The cost of travel is another thing that gets in the way, but usually if you can plan in advance and book the tickets it's slightly cheaper.
When I first started seeing Maddie I had to take the National Express coach to Hull which was horrible. I had to take a 2 and a half hour coach to London and then a 6 hour coach to Hull. Spent the whole day travelling but it was worth it. Since then I've got a Railcard so it means I can get the train from London which is just over 2 hours which is much better.
But yeah it is hard. Obviously the distance between us is nothing compared to yourself or Taylor and Brad but we're still far apart and it can be tough sometimes and feel like forever in the gaps that you're apart. Like Benin said, 2 weeks can seem to take forever.
I'm also lucky that when I start uni in September I'll be a lot closer so that'll help alot.
Anyway I've babbled on enough. But yeah, long distance relationships aren't a bad thing. You've got to communicate daily and try to see each other as often as you can.
