If you’re looking for a companion to spend free time with, this relationship may be fulfilling for you. If you’re looking for romance, sorry but I’m a doubter. Even though I knew my husband virtually my whole life before he left for boot camp, the relationship we had during that period was 90% fantasy. What’s not to love in a long distance romance you get the good none of the bad?
What would happen if you were to find someone in real life that is interested in you? Would you refuse to see them because of this ideal person that you have created? No one in real life could ever compare with someone that you can turn off when you are not in the mood, or not deal with the every day annoyances that occur with all couples. Right now whenever he is emotionally unavailable for you, he has an undisputable excuse… whether or not he would live up to those needs irl. Under the best circumstances a long distance relationship has serious limitations.

No one loves me in real life. I'm too ugly.
