Hi @louie_al3x , I just wanted to chime in because I think that it's a very prevalent assumption about long distance relationships that they 'don't last' or 'one of them is cheating'. In reality, only you and your partner know what's best for you. My dad and stepmum went for 3 YEARS long distance and are still happily married. It can really hurt when people seem to put their own assumptions and expectations onto your relationship. Long distance is really hard, but it's definitely not impossible! You're completely valid in feeling upset about this and I can imagine if you're constantly being told these things that it can start to get frustrating and annoying, or you may even start to believe the things your friends are telling you. It sounds like you knew it was time to start setting some boundaries so I hope that went well for you. 

You said you miss him a lot and I feel for you! It can be so lonely when your partner is so far away from you physically, even with lots of Facetiming and phone calls. I hope you're taking care of yourself and doing things you enjoy while you wait for your next reunion ❤️
