I've just read that fav blogger broke up with her bf. I'm surprised and slightly disappointed. Their relationship has got nothing to do with me, I know, but it still leaves an impact because I'm in an LDR myself. And I think they've got a stronger relationship than mine.
Sometime ago, just before I decided to come to UK, Bf had an opportunity to work in Singapore. I thought it was a great chance to get away from earning Ringgit. I was supportive and all but I think it was all but a mere facade. I knew if he'd gotten the job, I'd have broke up with him because I don't think I'm cut out for an LDR. Well, what happened in the end was that he didn't get the job, that's what he tells me at least.
6 months ago, prior to leaving home for UK, the same issue popped up again. This time, I was the one leaving. He knew what I had in mind but he wanted me to give it a try. I thought, why not? The first week was difficult. Everything was new and strange. Being alone again makes me feel uneasy. During Christmas, he came over for a week. It felt slightly awkward in the beginning but it quickly dissolved because we missed each other so much. I cried a lot that week because I knew the next time I'd see him in person again will be 7 months later.
Now, it's been 3 months since he left UK. I feel very comfortable. Our lives are filled with more activities and friends. For the past 3 days, I've been spending it in Loughborough with the loveliest couple I've met in UK. I've never felt so at home. They remind me of what I shared with Bf. I'm satisfied and contented. My LDR is still working because we both moved on and the relationship we now share evolved into a bond that's not necessarily physical. I know he's kept me safely in his heart and that's enough for me for now.
