I am soon on my way to end my 7 years long distance relationship. Every celebration of ours had been in very auspicious moment. I got into long distance relationship with her back in 2014 in my birthday then met her F2F one year after that. Now during her birthday, we got engaged and there's no limit to m
Our celebration and happiness right now. We had some cultural and traditional differences as we were from different parts of Nepal but our family had been so open in hearing our things and being supportive to the choices we made.

I do had a lot of troubles and insecurities in sustaining our relationship. She trusted me and kept the relationship growing without meeting face-to-face. We would have a long night chit-chat, phone call and video call. We would share photos of everything we do. And the main reason it kept going this long was that we used to send gifts, chocolates, food to each other through courrier express services. They have low charge for domestic courrier.

Being from a middle-class family, it was hard for me to save money that could cover my travel cost to visit her. But once a year, I would save money and then go visit her for 5-7 days. After that, it would become very difficult for me to return home. I couldn't even sleep during my journey missing every cheerful moments that I had with her and realising that I couldn't meet her until I save another lot for my travel. It would at least take me 2 weeks to get back to normal life that I typically have in city. The reason why travel expenses were way too much for me was that her town was completely new to me. I have either no friends nor relatives. So everytime, I had to stay in hotel, travel and food expense was all on me and going to date, visiting other place would add extra expense. But as soon as I get married then I will be having many relatives here😀.
