 ♡ Meeting your LDR partner for the first time ♡

With online dating now a thoroughly acceptable way to meet the next love of your life, it’s becoming more common for people to fall in love with partners who are on the other side of the globe. Now, there are no borders or boundaries when it comes to love.
When you’re going to meet with someone you’ve never met before, whether that’s someone you met on a dating site or a totally blind date – it’s normal to be a little nervous and worry that things won’t go well or work out. But when I saw my husband for the first time, I was in a mixed emotion. It was so awkward that I don’t know what to say or where should I start the conversation just to ease the awkwardness. But I found out that talking to him was so fun and easy.And along the way, I just knew for sure that his going to be my forever. I would never call it love at first sight (such a cliché), I just knew. I’d just never met anyone before who I felt such a bond the way I felt to my husband. We may had slightly different experiences but took away the same lessons and feelings from them.

While a LDR is hard work, that hard work can pay off. You shouldn’t give up hope of achieving your happily ever after just because you’re in a long distance relationship. In fact, you may end up with a deeper and more grounded relationship precisely because you have spent some time long distance. And if you are committed and willing to put in the effort, there is every chance that your relationship will succeed if you both really want it to

♡ Finding Love Online ♡

The Internet is a bittersweet place. It allows us to connect with each other in many ways. And being open-minded and putting yourself out there can easily daunting at first. But here you’re doing it in a safe environment where everyone is after the same thing: finding true love. Online dating has lost the stigma it once had – today millions of people are using it and it’s one of the most popular ways of meeting people.Why? Because it’s convenient.
I wouldn’t have met my husband if it were not for Internet. Now I will be celebrating my one year wedding anniversary. It was truly the most romantic mind-blowing experience that I have ever had. We we’re matched and actually spent hours emailing and talking on the phone. It was wonderful. I did not believe in soul mate until I met him.

So if you’re trying to find your perfect partner out there through the online platform, make sure you exercise caution. Make sure you actually know who you’re talking to. If they’re sketchy and don’t want to Webcam with you, or if they’re reluctant to share their private social media pages with you, or if they’re  not messaging you like the way they used to without any valid excuses or reasoning, then don’t do it.
Like any relationships, these online-first connections have their upsides and downsides–it’s just that the pros and cons are a little different. The worst-case scenario—spending months courting someone only to discover in minutes you’re physically incompatible—isn’t great. But then, in a world where we don’t have to leave our couches to meet a partner—no matter how far apart our bodies may be—the question of how far we’ll go to find a mate becomes more muddled. But more and more people are willing to go as far as it takes.

We all deserve happiness and putting all your efforts and time in one futile online relationship that renders you with doubts, insecurities and endless questions is just not worth the heartache. Long distance relationships takes a lot more commitment and planning than any other relationships, because you have to plan your future around on how you’ll make it work. Remember, it takes two to tango and if you’re in the infancy of a new and exciting online relationship, don’t forget to evaluate how it will pan out in the long run. BOTH of you have to be committed, 110%.

The joy and sorrow of Long Distance relationship

Nothing tests a relationship more than distance. I’ve been away from my husband for almost a year, and it’s never been easy at all. You really need to adjust to not seeing each other for how many months…not being together when we needed each other most. But along the way, I definitely believe that being in a long distance relationship is something that every couple could benefit from going through. Not only does strengthen your relationship and test it – but the experience also strengthens you as an individual.

– No relationship is easy or perfect. There will always be some challenges, but if the person truly means to you, whether that person is your partner, a friend or parent you have to work to fix things. Being in a long distance relationship has changed us individually and as a couple in many ways; good ways. We learned how to make things work, and gradually it got easier. Now we are extremely happy to have gone through all of this. Now we feel confident about us and cannot wait to begin the next chapter of our lives: being together anytime we want. Yes, being in a long distance relationship is difficult, but when it is with the right person, it isn’t half bad. It taught us a lot about ourselves, things we might not have figured out otherwise.

First Valentine

love note
Wi-Fi valentine note

When I opened this note, I was planning to write her a love note too. I had everything planned in my head. But after reading her notes, my mouth was wide open in admiration and I felt like I was falling hard in love with this woman again. However, I also realized that my note was not going to be any where better than this one. But after much thought, I decided to send my note anyway. I guess the thought that I took time to think about the note and actually write it count more than what was in the note. God knows that I am anything but romantic. While this valentine was lonely, it was heartwarming to know that someone (my Wi-Fi) loves me this much.

What about the notes?

Our first picture together and hmmm… she was not looking at me

I guess that I should start by telling the story behind the notes. My wife and I are separated with the ocean…. a big one. She lives on one side and I am stuck on the other. For the past year, she has been writing love notes for me at least once a week. I received them this year (2019) as a gift. So that how the idea of this blog came to be. Every week I will pick one and write about the thought and the feelings I get when I first read the note. In between, we will write about our experiences. The good news… The immigration office is officially reviewing our case. Hope that we will be reunited soon
