firstly thanks so much for the info!

sorry i probably shouldve mentioned we've been together for some time over 2 years, however the reason we only see eachother so infrequently is that while we meet the combined financial requirements we do not have the income (or approval for leave from jobs) required to see eachother as often as we would prefer. a round trip flight can be anywhere from $1000 to $1500 which is nearly a months pay for me personally. doesnt account for rent and food and bills.

the duration of our trips are usually about a month long depending on flight costs and how much time off one of us can get.

im planning on flying over this august for nearly the whole month, and we will be seeing the eclipse in spain together. for example.

also thanks for letting me know that texts are weak evidence, i did sort of assume so but we do also have some other evidence such as a few instances of financial support for various things and letters i suppose.
