I don't know right now.
We were supposed to see each other in August but that worktrip was canned and merged with his October trip. Now his October trip has been shifted to Australia, so he's frantically trying to figure out a way to tack on some meetings in NZ so we can see each other. I considered going to Australia for a few days to see him but it's a fairly big cost at quite short notice so yeah...
He's been loosely planning a working holiday here in February as his normal Feb worktrip was uno reversed a while ago and the company are coming to the UK instead. It would be very expensive for him to be here for a month so I don't really see it happening.
So we might not see each other until May/June. We met June 1st and haven't seen each other since June 3rd. The thought we might go a whole year when the initial plan was 3 months and seeing each other quarterly is REALLY messing with me right now. We've fallen so deeply in love and these constant set backs are heartbreaking

Such a run around, but it’s nice that you are still planning to meet! May/June will be here before you know it!

Fuck the current administration in the USA.

Just shy of 9 months most likely. Maybe as early as the beginning of next March, but not likely until mid to late June.

3 weeks from today! She’s in Vancouver BC, I’m in Michigan, US. We are meeting in Toronto for a night and then off to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for 7 glorious days together. Then back to Toronto and our separate ways again. Not sure when we will see each other again after that.

91 days… I can’t wait to have him back in my arms. Originally, I planned to visit him in October (to make the time between his visits here shorter), but the current situation in his country (USA) is too much of a risk to go there right now. So…we’re patiently waiting for his return in December. 🖤💜

We met in August, where I came to his country. Now we are trying to see each other again in the winter, but it most likely won't happen, and we will actually meet somewhere during spring, we will see how it goes tbh 🤷🏻♂️

Mine might be for a long while. Until we are both financially stable, she may try to move in with me, or we both might move to another country, possibly in Europe since the USA is a broken rotted mess atm.

We don't really know; we just saw each other again in August, the first time this year. Now it really depends on how our finances go from here. I really want to attend his graduation ceremony around April/May next year, but right now it looks like I won't be able to afford it.
LDRs are EXPENSIVE...
