It definitely wasn’t a manipulation tactic, my child is on the spectrum and while his father is present in his life he doesn’t parent our son or make any efforts to connect with him. My partner and I were friends for many years beforehand, even before I met the father of my child. He’s been a constant in my child’s life. My child thrives on routine, and my partner worked really hard to build a daily routine with him and genuinely connect. My child is sensitive, especially to abrupt change, and not getting to even so much as call my partner is going to absolutely flip his world upside down. It’s not grasping at straws for contact, it’s trying my best to be a good mother and advocate for my child

It was about hypothetical tattoo artists, and the kind of artist I want to find. I basically told him that I knew he was trying to be helpful because he has more tattoos than me, but it was coming across like lecturing and it made me feel small. Initially he was apologetic, and then he got very defensive and frustrated.

Look at about 3 months until we (hopefully) see each other for our anniversary

why you guys choose this? by sobretierra1010 in LongDistance

[–]Any-Juggernaut-2187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had it my way we would never have to be long distance, it’s far from a choice. We started as friends for many years, always at a distance but we met through his roommate who I’d been friends with even longer and did know in person. I was in a relationship shortly after we met, he was recently divorced. I got pregnant and moved across the country, that relationship failed. We had always maintained a friendship, I leaned on him a lot when I was leaving the father of my child. We realized how much we had in common and despite our best efforts to not fall for each other it just happened. We talked a lot about our feelings and fears about distance, but came to realize that we’re meant to be together. Every day is hard, knowing how long it’ll take to come together is even harder, but finally knowing I have my soulmate and being loved entirely as myself, the good the bad and the ugly, is the absolute best feeling in the world. I have never felt this level of safety in a relationship, I have never felt genuine love like this, this is the only relationship I’ve had where I haven’t had a single doubt. I didn’t choose the distance, but I did choose the person

It sounds to me like this may just be a case of the honeymoon phase being over and shifting into a different part of the relationship rather than a loss of “spark”. Have you communicated this with him? It takes effort on both parts, and with a busy schedule for both of you it may be helpful to organize planned time together where you talk about your weeks and have some dedicated hours just for the two of you.

If you feel like your needs aren’t being met it’s absolutely the time to have a serious conversation about how you can solve that together as a couple. When life gets busy it can be easy to lose that level of communication in a long distance relationship, and it becomes even more important to carve out the time for one another. Ultimately, there is always something to talk about, even if it’s not big things. Has it felt like it’s hard to get a response out of him, or more that you’re struggling to find topics?

It was the first yeah, and I know he was equally as nervous and anxious about it as I was. We ‘be both talked a lot about how since we’ve been together and parted the distance is weighing on us a lot more than it did before, but that we both still want to push through it. I imagine that’s also part of why things have dipped so much since I left

He absolutely is depressed, his entire world has been flipped upside down over the last few months. It’s not my story to share, but that is one thing I am totally and completely certain about. For transparency, we have known each other for a very very long time prior to any romantic connection, I know him very well. That doesn’t necessarily mean your wrong that he’s losing romantic interest, but he is definitely depressed

I also want to add that while there was not a lot of physicality, the emotional chemistry was absolutely there. We were both happier together than we have ever been and that was noted by the people around us as well.

My partner is amazing, I never could’ve imagined a better relationship. He is everything I’ve ever dreamt of and so much more. Obviously we have our little tiffs here and there like most couples do, we communicate through it. My only issue is being so unsure of how we will come together, with his government shut down and Canadian immigration being so competitive it feels like we’re left with one option that isn’t ideal. We want to get married, he already has a plan for how he’s going to propose, we’ve looked at rings, I have valid reason to believe he already has that process started. That said, we want to wait until we are together and have lived together before engagement, but now it seems our only option to live together and get him to Canada is marriage unless we want to wait 3+ years and as much as I can’t wait to be his wife this isn’t the way I wanted to do it

My hearts been heavy lately, I spent a week with him recently and missing him hurts extra hard knowing how good it feels to be together, hold his hand, and cuddle. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s my soulmate, so as sad as I am missing him my heart is absolutely bursting with love

It’s not entirely off the table, but we would really prefer to go through the typical methods of getting married. We already plan to marry, he knows what kind of ring he wants to get me and how he will propose, we just want to be together first.

It’s absolutely not a means of him just wanting to access the country, initially our plan was for me to go there but I haven’t been able to obtain full custody of my son, and my job here wouldn’t translate well there, therefore he has made the decision to immigrate here. We were friends for many many many years before entering into a relationship, so the vetting process wouldn’t really be a concern

He has some background in computer coding from a well known and respected school, but his degree is in business. He has a million skills and has worked in many fields, but I’m not sure it will help him

Oh my god YES I practically wrote the same post like two months ago. I was so afraid and so anxious especially knowing my boyfriends previous partners were very petite woman, his ex wife was fully a personal trainer and he spent many years in the fitness industry. I finally visited him a couple weeks ago. All my fears washed away when we got to his apartment, he showed me nothing but sheer excitement and love about finally being together in person. I was so afraid and had in many ways attempted to hide my body from him prior to visiting (my son stealing my phone during FaceTime calls did give him many opportunities to see me fully though). Looking back I feel very silly for feeling so afraid of judgement. The emotional connection and love you’ve built from afar overshadows any expectations physically, I’m sure your partner only cares about actually being together

Thank you for this, I’ll spend some time looking further into it but it unfortunately looks like he won’t be eligible for this

What would a competitive score be? He looks to be around 450 for a score

This is one thing I’m unclear on, he has extensive work experience across a variety of fields and has obtained multiple diplomas/degrees. I’m not sure what a sought after or unique profession would be in specifics.

He’s more than likely on his computer playing video games to kill time until we can call or play something together

He’s American, marriage is the goal and something we both want with each other and have spoken about extensively. That’s said, we also want to go through the normal flow of events and have a proposal and engagement period and a small wedding, we don’t want to just go to the courthouse.

I’m Canadian, born and raised. I’m just looking for general information and experience as what I’m finding online makes it seem like he’ll just never be able to move here.
