Reflecting on my previously 3 long distance relationships - I’d say a lot of time passes when there is distance.
Conversations are great, it’s like you have a best friend you can confide everything in. Then when you do have the chance to see someone after 6 months is going to take a little bit of time to warm up. Times together are amazing and then you have to go back home. Then you rinse and repeat the whole process.
I feel like I could have met some people in between all that time and matured relationship wise due to facing whatever issue in real time. With distance, you’re kind of stranded from trying to fix or talk things through when there is miscommunication or some mishap that happens.
If you have the patience and don’t mind the time that comes with distance then it might work out for you.
