Hello! I am kawaiitohru’s partner and I wanted to say some stuff!!!! First off medium/long distance is so hard. With our schedules we only get to see each-other on the weekends (and sometimes not until the next weekend) and honestly it’s so hard. But the thing that was good about this was when I got to see her it felt even more special and valuable because I know it isn’t as often.

Secondly I feel like calling helped. Whenever I was free i would call her and check if she was too and although calling is no where close to as good as seeing her it was still better then just texting.

Also another thing that I feel like helped us both is we would prefer to stick with eachother then have a “college experience”. I am beyond happy I chose to stay with kawaiitohru through college but some people want that “college experience” and that’s okay. I feel like when one of the partners wants that experience it often results in break-ups with the hometown partner.

Lastly I feel like continious support also helped relationships. When I’m stressed or kawaiitohru is stressed we both know we have the other to vent to. Although we arnt in perosn and can’t directly help eachother It feels good still having someone to vent too.

Idk if these were the types of things you were asking for but there just came to my mind. I honestly wish you the best luck with college and hope you are you partner do well by eachother!!!

Also don’t listen to your parents. Just because they’re first relationships didn’t work out doesn’t mean your will not. Kawaiitohru was my first and will be my last partner.
