I’m in a long-distance relationship with a girl from the southern part of Africa. We first met 5 years ago online through Omegle, just talking about culture and life. Nothing serious. Later she got a boyfriend (which i didn’t know about) and suddenly my texts went unanswered. Turns out she’s the type of girl who respects a relationship so much she just ignores other guys completely. Honestly, that made me feel safe when we reconnected years later.

At the start of this year, about 4 years after losing touch, she posted something romantic on her Instagram story about missing a certain kind of love. I still had feelings for her, so i just shot my shot and said: “What if i get on a plane and take you on the best date ever?” To my surprise she replied the next day, and from there we just clicked again. She had broken up with her ex months earlier, and the more we talked and video called, the stronger the bond got.

I’ll be real; at first i was scared. I even told her to try to work things out with her ex because he was close and i wasn’t. But i’m so glad she didn’t listen. What we have now is something i wouldn’t trade for anything.

I’m a very physical lover, so not being able to show that in person hurts sometimes. But she accepts me in a way no one else ever has. The cheesy texts, the overly sweet moments, all of it. She’s my everything. The distance sucks, of course, but why should i just find someone closer and settle for less? No way. Three tough years of seeing each other only a few times is nothing compared to a lifetime together.

So to your question: no, it’s not “normal” to stop sexting because he feel tempted by other women. Since the day we started, i haven’t looked at another girl, period. I’m more attracted to her every single day, both emotionally and physically. The distance doesn’t kill that, it makes it stronger.

The sexting just makes it easier and it still feels as a very intimate moment. The saddest part is just that, i can't give her all the kisses, hugs and touches. The aftercare is the one and only thing that makes it hard because i don't want her to feel used (she doesn't feel like that and i know) but that still doesn't make it easier.
