In all seriousness, how do ya'll deal with LDR. I mean for me, my first relationship was literally LDR. But that didn't work because she kinda cheated?????? long story. Anyways, I'm currently in a relationship. i met her this senior year, and safe to say we went through a lot of ups and downs already. Now that we've graduated, we're transitioning from always together to LDR (she lives in Makati now, I live in Cavite). Let's just say the transition is pretty rough at first. We were both experiencing issues, and I'm recovering from months long of depressive episodes. All we do is keep reassuring each other that we'll make it work, we're both trying. I believe that, and I meant everything I said/I'm saying to her. But urrrmmmmm.... We barely talk everyday, we barely spend any time together. We talked about it last night and figured it's just our attachment styles clashing (she's avoidant, i'm anxious). What a combo right? I decided to be patient. i love this girl so much, I'm not gonna let this distance be the hindrance of our relationship. But I also want us to develop a relationship even virtually. I want to be able to spend time, be able to still do cutesy stuff, even when we're far away from each other. But the problem is, life for both of us has been severely overwhelming. I don't want to overwhelm her more. Fuck. This situation sure is hard. I just really hope we both find the peace we're looking for and eventually come to terms in everything.

I can relate to this blog quite a bit! My husband and I were originally a LDR, he was from the USA and myself in Canada. Thankfully not a huge gap, but still a two hour time difference and clashing environments. My best suggestions is to keep chatting, plan to play things together or have movie nights. There's streaming on discord (one person plays a game/movie so both can enjoy it), sending packages or letters to one another in the mail! Physical things help a lot to keep people together too-- a reminder when you're not texting or calling. We also bonded a lot by sleeping on calls (it was risky bc of my parents at the time though LMAO).
It is all about being consistent but not overbearing of one another, trying to find a good balance between being Online and your IRL presence. If you are online constantly and not enjoying your outside life with that, stress and boredom of repetition can build up and you DONT want that!
TLDR: If you need any hope my husband and I had been LDR dating for a while, moved in with eachother, and both live together with a fur baby <3 It's possible and I wish the older generations (and even this gen) didn't look down on it as much as they do.
Hey! Thanks for this comment1 This for sure helps the situation, tons of recommendations. I'm glad that you and you're husband figured things out and is now happily together. I'm manifesting the same for me and my girlfriend! I wish you guys the best!
