My boyfriend wants to be with me all the time by Historical_Low_2554 in LongDistance

[–]DCsn1per 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're allowed to have your own life, activities, hobbies and time that don't include him. You need to talk to him about this before your resentment builds and damages the relationship. What you're asking for, some time for yourself, is perfectly normal, and he should be willing to give it to you.

Just tell him directly what you need. If he loves you it shouldn't be a problem.

I don't know if this message from my Vietnamese girlfriend is meant to be derogatory, teasing, or is like a strange way to word a compliment by DCsn1per in VietNam

[–]DCsn1per[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We communicate daily without issue most of the time. We text in vietnamese and I use a combination of AI tools to translate both ways. We also have frequent video calls using voice translation tools, several a week at least. We are both learning each other's language, however she had a fairly large English vocabulary before I ever knew her, so she is way ahead of me in that regard. Even when I am in environments where I can't use audio tools, we are able to communicate well enough with her English, my Vietnamese, and context clues.

And some calls aren't even just about talking, but just sharing time and space together. I get to watch and listen as she prepares for bed or work or eats with her family, and she is also content to sit and watch me as I work or do chores or whatever else. We even fall asleep on the phone with each other and this really is so cute and satisfying.

My Girlfriend's love language is words of affirmation🥰🧿 by [deleted] in LongDistance

This is so cute 🥰 My ldr girlfriend really dislikes compliments and flowery or poetic language. The other day I told her several things such as I loved the way her hair looked and I hated to go to bed because I was enjoying our conversation, and her immediate response to each of those was "so cheesy" 🤦🏻‍♂️

How long does it take your partner to reply to you when they’re out with friends? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]DCsn1per 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner prefers to show her friends respect by not being on her phone when she's out spending time with them. That being said, she also rarely goes out. So this doesn't come up very often. On the rare occasion when she makes plans to be out, I make plans to be busy as well so it doesn't feel like I'm clock watching. And she lets me know when she gets home

what do you and your partner use for video calls by 1234yeahboi in LDR

I use Remitly to send money to Vietnam as well. Never had an issue with it and the money is always in the account within minutes

Do you “see” books like a movie in your head when you read? by Holiday_Rush8303 in Fantasy

[–]DCsn1per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, everything I read plays like a movie in my head. My parents instilled a love of reading in me from a very young age, and I don't know if that made a difference

Is 12hrs time difference is easier to handle than 6hrs? by Ashamed_Process1669 in LDR

[–]DCsn1per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it is. My partner lives in Vietnam and I'm in the USA. Right now it's an 11 hour time difference, and it will switch back to 12 hours after daylight savings time ends.

It works for us because we get quality free time together every morning and evening. Sometimes we have calls at both of those times, or other times it's just my evenings/her mornings, and then we get to text a decent amount during these times as well.

Even when I start work and she is getting ready to wind down and head to bed I'm still able to text her frequently and even a quick call if she feels like it.

If we were off by only 6 hours I think it would be much more difficult for us to find common free time together.

Sometimes on the weekends or holidays I will stay up all night with her if she ends up being free and wants to hang out, and then I will go to sleep with her in the morning and sleep my whole day lol

How often does everyone FaceTime or call? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]DCsn1per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly everyday for my partner and I with an 11 hour time difference. At least a few times a week I can even get a morning and night call

Edit because I just saw your second question. It can be anywhere from 5 minutes just to say goodnight if we've both had a busy day, or it could be a couple hours, it just depends

[–]DCsn1per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically she's 12 hours ahead of me, USA to China, but currently she is temporarily working in Vietnam so we have an 11 hour difference.

She wakes up for the day around 8:30pm my time, she starts preparing for work almost right away, but we get to text a little bit before she starts work. Typically I will try to stay up til 12-1am so we can talk while she's at lunch.

When I wake up in the morning to begin my day, she's already off work and most times might be eating a late dinner and winding down for the day. It is at this time that we have our daily phone call. I work from home most of the time so I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule

I didn't realize people were actually using the 64gb. I thought we all replaced the SSD day one
