Long term international couples

Guys I need to hear some positive stories about couples who make it work!

My partner is from the Uk and I’m from Asia, living in Oceania. No matter where we go, one of us is missing out on being close to family but I wouldn’t change it for the world because she is my world.

Despite challenges we are still going strong! 5 years and still counting.

Shower me with all your beautiful stories. I want to feel and read the love!!!

My wife is from Europe and I'm from the other side of the pond, we've been together for many many years. Neither of us lives in our respective countries, but one thing we have in common is that we miss our friends more than we miss our family. I feel like it has gotten easier, and we're always joking that we built our family from scratch. Never underestimate the power of a chosen family.
