I live in Singapore and my lovely girlfriend Gelic lives in the Philippines. We started our relationship long distance even though we know it’s not easy or convenient for us.

People keep saying that long distance relationships never work out. If you really do love someone then distance is in reality just numbers. Distance doesn’t matter. What matters is the love, understanding and trust in a relationship. I know a lot of couples who were in an LDR for months and even years. Most of them are happily married and rest are planning. Everything depends on the kind of person you are in relationship with.
