Yeah like when we first established we cared for one another, we knew we had to be together one way or another. I originally intended on going there (the UK) but I couldn't bare the thought of leaving my family, plus I really enjoy where I live. So we were kind of stuck for a few weeks considering just staying close online and that is it but he realized he couldn't do this forever and told me he would come to me. After his first visit he loved it and dreaded going back lol He used to think he would hate it here.
As long as you intend on closing the distance eventually, that is what is important. There have been couples stuck in LDR mode for years and years because they simply couldn't make the move be it opposite countries, jobs, ect. Time isn't really a true indication of the importance of one person to the other in LDR's. It is funny because most people assume they are all the same and they aren't, all LDRs are different for different reasons just like CDRs are.
