Just here to let folks know that it can work if you both want it to. My partner and I were long distance for the first 2.5 years of our 7 year relationship and are now getting married.
Been doing long distance for almost a year. Being in company is key. We even do household chores with video call on. When I was ill, I'd even nap while he was working, with video call on, and it made me feel looked after.
My mom and stepfather never met each other in person for the first 5 years of their relationship. They were online bridge partners. When they finally met in person, they knew they were soulmates. Today they are still in love and happily married after 30 years.
That's a wonderful story. I think the key is: 1) seeing the other person as just a good friend until you actually meet in person - don't get overly invested before that, 2) devising a plan for how to make it a real life relationship once you met and it's been established that there is something to work towards.
Fantasic !

I can only trust him, because people do what they do !!....planning to move nearer to him, we shall not live together...He is working wery much in his pwn comoany for the time being, I am a single living alone for many years....72' now and do not want to go searching on dating sites !

I truly agree with you. And the man has to come to the woman for the first meeting, that's just a basic courtesy to establish trust and foster a sense of safety and put her at ease.

So true. I am getting bored with a long distance relationship our conversations are getting stale and repetitive I enjoy real connections with new friends its great. I joined a dance club and its awesome. I want real people I can hug and sit with and talk to.
Damn every time I randomly click on your videos thinking that I probably won’t find anything super new because I watched SOOO MANY of these lol and yet i always find some helpful stuff! Thank you!
It was very challenging to be in a LDR and honestly I wouldn’t do it again. I had never been in one before, we were together a year planned to move there to get a house together next year only to find out he went out and bought a condo without telling me or planning to include me in it. I’ve never been so heartbroken in my life but I’m healing.
@@SherriFlemming yeah there was so many red flags I once again was so anxiously attached and invested I didn’t want to see them. I was a sucker for all his future faking during the love bombing and got too attached and I’m a trusting person so next go around I will be much more cautious!

Omg I had a long distance relationship with a narcissistic person. A red pill guy. Gosh the trauma 😥 I have commented a lot of times about this… it was just heartbreaking to be lied to like that And btw don’t think that you have to watch movies together and that’s quality time. The second time we met we mostly stayed home watching tv and it was so isolating. I doubt he wanted me there just to spend the time being physically next to me. He was still thinking about himself and his needs everyday. When you only watch episodes, and after the episode finishes you check your phone until the new episode starts, you’re just ignoring your partner’s presence. And it’s hurtful

My came last time 22.01.2022. No comments. Only talking about coming. Now gets silent for even 2 weeks and when I asked why "I don't know. I wanted to call next week because I was busy". If calls then only expect sexting (disgusting). He didn't even texted back. I am done.
I’m Canadian and my boyfriend American. It’s been 5 months, i’m lucky enough to spend 2 months and half with him this summer . And I’ll be back this December for 1 month and a half. We are already talking about marriage so I can move there 😅 we are so connecting together even physically we are different
This is amazing! I love it when you share parts of your life that shows your “human side” where you tell us how you deal with situations on your relationship. Thank You 😍😍
This was so helpful. Thanks. Just started one last month, not easy however, we met online and straight away made it clear we were on the same page and the connection was great that we both felt like each one of us has what we were looking for in a partner. Pray for us to grow stronger in love daily. Thanks ❤
I try to avoid LDR but my type of men don’t exist in my country 😅 i agreed to my last situationship cauz he was coming to my town and it didn’t happen (solid excuses) and i can’t join him either (passport problems) so we ghosted each other 💔 a year later i still think about him and I’ll wonder what if.. this feeling sucks 😢

My boyfriend after six year started to distance and ghosted .. he left without informing...not picking call msg or any information... my mental and emotional batate completely broke.. what to do
Read the proverbs about that kind of person... block him and get new rules, don't pick up the phone when he comes back... Listen to Dr Ramani on narcissistic abuse Learn to love yourself the way Jesus loves you ❤ you will come thru this 🙏🏻
I'm a few months into a ldr, 2.5 hours away and it's going OK but we see each other for a short while say every few weeks so far. Not ideal. We do text every day and occasionally call in between our meetings. We've met a total of 4 times only for around 1-2 days each. I like her enough to keep this going but do worry.

Chronic Physical Pain: Matthew, have you discussed TMJ with your dentist? My favorite dentist said the nice people have TMJ, because they are very careful about the way they treat others (Um, calling out partners for tidiness) and tend to internalize stress.
I’m a 69 female and in a long distance relationship. I met him online when I was in Scotland and we had planned to meet up there but then he had business to attend to in Europe for a couple of days which turned out to be a couple of months and he is still there. I had to return to Australia. We have only FaceTimed once and our relationship has progressed to a stage that we both want the same things out of life. We talk about spending the rest of our lives together. At times he is uncontactable and this makes me anxious. I’m struggling with this. He assures me when his work is finished he will fly to Australia. Do you think long distance relationships are really doable and for how long.
Yes, it is possible. But not with this guy. Only Facetimed once? But he wants to spend the rest of his life with you? I'm sorry to break it to you, but his story does not check out.
I’ve had this gut feeling about it and probably just hoping it’s real as I’ve fallen hard, but yes the red flag is there and even my bestie is saying ‘Red Flag’ 😢
can you do a video about a new bell i have discovered: “we are exclusive but not in a relationship, not boyfriend and girlfriend” like what? isn’t that what being exclusive is?
So I just went no contact with my LDR girlfriend of 3 years. I Have done everything to bridge our 1000 mile distance, I was gonna drive to see her she said don't in the beginning, so after a bit of time I bought her a plane ticket, she mysteriously went distant the day of flight and said she was sick, so we made up after all that and about a year ago I drove 1000 miles to see her and I ended up sitting in the hotel for 3 days before driving home cause she avoided me when I showed up. So its been a year since me going to see her and I finally said to her if she can figure out a way to see me let me know, but until then we are not gonna communicate. We have facetimed and never gave her any money so its not that type of situation I just think whenever I get close she avoids.
I made a mistake making an attachment with someone who i couldn't make a relationship with. She found me interested and told me I'm her crush. So she was honest that she has a long term relationship with someone, whom she didn't find any attraction to. Now I'm getting hurt every time I am with her. I couldn't get out of my head those moments we spent together. She told me she never treated the way I treated her . Now I'm still hurt and I still continue to be with her. I know I'm gonna get hurt making attachment with her. I'm losing my boundaries I'm getting desperate. She said she love her boyfriend infront of me n I get hurt . She still says that I'm very attractive to her. We even had s*x. I don't know what to do I'm really feeling like God is punishing me. I'm a guy who like to have a long term relationship. I've been single for 4 years since I have been improved myself going to gym finding ways to earn after the recent relationship. Now I'm really hurting myself n I'm really afraid of having a relationship. I've been watching all ur content and i would love to listen some words from you. Thank you very much.
God is not punishing you but we do suffer the consequences of our actions... she's using you to get attention and an ego boost - there are plenty of available girls who would love a guy like you. Does her bf know she cheated on him emotionally and physically? Best is walk away and date other girls, tell her to contact you once she's dumped the poor unsuspecting bf AND grieved the loss out of her system, personally if she'll do it to him she'll do it to you - I'd run a mile. Dignity beloved, shake off the dust when actions don't match words 😢❤🙏🏻

I was in a relationship with someone who was initially living in the same area but ended up going far away to study at university and for me the long distance was hard work to maintain it and was sadly forced to end it. One of my prerequisites before going on a date or into a relationship is are they within a reasonable distance to where I am geologically and are we going in the same direction as each other. My sister married a man who lived a long way but they did end up together because they were going in the same direction and that’s something to think about.
I've been dating this guy for more than three months. I did bring up serious question about what does he want or desire in this dating? or what does he looking for? we have no problem in talking or discussing that kind of topic actually. However, last week when I expressed my confusion about this dating, because I noticed that he's pulling away. so, I told him that I would like to know whether we're in relationship or not. He told me that he enjoys the company and spending together, and so on. Despite of that, he openly said that he doesn't want to put a label on the relationship. he just wanted to take slow and let it unfold naturally. I wonder if he wanted to keep his option open? if that so, I would be cool with it honestly. so that I can have my option open too. I told him before that I don't want to waste each other time. anyway, It does change my perspective on this relationship after he said the he doesn't want to put a label on this relationship, it feels like that I'm starting to letting it go, despite how good we're together. Does it mean that he doesn't want to make the relationship official? I wonder...
I’m in the same boat. Mine wants to “go with the flow”. Which is fine to know someone naturally. But if he doesn’t want a label, he’s keeping his options open. If you tell him that you want a label and he doesn’t, you’re both want different things with each other at this moment in time. I hope you can both figure it out ❤
Mine told me this two years ago I hadn't heard from him so I stopped texting him he always texted me back I haven't contacted him in over 2months nothing from him so I have decided to walk away he was always let's see what happens after two years enough was enough I won't do a ltr again to much hard work

OMG …Who edited this video!?! 😂They need to be tied up in a room and made to watch paint dry.😅 I got sea sick with the constant changing frames. 🤢. Great content though Matt!
My long distance relationship has been going pretty strong for nearly two years. My only problem is that over weekends he gets busy and does not call. Some weekends he has ignored me. He said that he didn't and that he was busy and has apologized but it keeps on happening. I am one of those people that do not expect responses straight away and am pretty easy going. I do not hound him with phone calls etc. I just want a good morning and a good night. Should I break up with him? I have told him a few times that when he doesn't connect with me that I get hurt because it makes me feel like nothing. I am just thinking that when I do move and we are staying together, this will continue? Is he going to be busy over the weekends and not have any time for our relationship? If he cant spare a few minutes to just greet me on the phone now.
Definetely this is not a good sign, that he does not text you on weekends. At least there should be continuity of online exchange in a long distance relationship in my opinion. We had that in our 6 years ldr, but now it is still coming to an end on my side, because there is no perspective of living together some time, so that I told him that I am looking for a new partner on dating apps. I wish you all the best!
We have been dating off & on for 3 years. We have never met in person, only FaceTime. He has autism & it’s like dating a child. I love him but I’m tired. He isn’t a man but I want him to be. It’s hard.
I'm a 54 yr old guy and on the spectrum. I've never dated tho got a wonderful lady friend I love and I'm starting to enjoy her company helping her build her business. You've got to meet this guy and not facetime each other for starters. I heard that from my female friend... ' you're supposed to be a man !' Well what Am I then ? Maybe if this guy is within driving distance go see him. Forget the notion of relationships! Just enjoy each other's company. Go out shopping with each other for starters. Make it a mission. Go women shopping and ask him to come. Your focus will be on the task at hand. Say looking for a certain coloured chair for a room at home that goes with the curtains and don't find the chair.... Agree to meet up with him again at the shopping center and look for curtains to compliment the chair you would of replaced... Then go to a paint shop because you are thinking about repainting the room... Make it that it's a mission and Not a date ! Autistic people and relationships are awkward as I know being on the spec. At the end of the day you'll probably have a guy right there that's probably stinging deep down to enjoy your company without the awkwardness of feeling he has to Man Up ! Do stuff like that or at least consider it. Don't put pressure on .. just enjoy the moment. So long as things are going in a forward direction, what does it matter ?

Don’t ever send money and if they won’t meet up don’t give them a second chance as they are probably a cat fish or lying about something serious such as their age
Is 60 miles long distances I'm falling for a girl and I'm scared if she turns around and doesn't want to carry on We have spoken about a lot even kids and her kids and sending pictures of her and her kids on days out we've had some naughty texting nights 😉 I don't know if I should go on dates with others or 100% focus on us but we're not in a relationship And scared getting too attached and falling too much to lose her
I dont think that way, distance can give you a taste of reality like are both ready to commit in any Situation and how can you Work through this togehter.
I just started talking to a girl that stays almost 2hrs away & I really want it to work out but I don’t want to continue to text her all day everyday even though we ft every night. I just don’t wanna be to clingy, any advice would help
I’m in the same situation… my advice is try not to text too much that doesn’t help. Text maybe three times during the day and try to talk on the phone. Meet up twice a month .. since it’s only 2 hours , go on dates and spend time together. I don’t know if you have your own place or not but if you do invite her over every other weekend and you can go to hers according. This is what l do .. also lastly have a plan and a date on who moves where otherwise it’s just wasting time and you’re better off as friends.
Don’t be too available and clingy even if it’s long distance.. have things going on in your life like work , friends , gym etc and try to keep texting at a minimum. Best is face time and phone calls more intimate..don’t be too available it kills attraction very fast.

I did that too. He was always tired and busy with work. All he texted to me was that. I ended our ldr.
If they cared they’d make time for you otherwise it’s best to cut them loose

I’m Canadian and my boyfriend American. It’s been 5 months, i’m lucky enough to spend 2 months and half with him this summer . And I’ll be back this December for 1 month and a half. We are already talking about marriage so I can move there 😅 we are so connecting together even physically we are different
This is amazing! I love it when you share parts of your life that shows your “human side” where you tell us how you deal with situations on your relationship. Thank You 😍😍
Magic make up bag 😂😂Matt thats almost lot of us! -Audrey you keep doing what you’re doing! Hahaha
no one is flawless, not even the relationship expert..
Matthew, great content & beautifully shot... the editing jumps too much! I'm getting a bit of motion sickness.
Great content, but way too many jump cuts in the videos lately. Takes me out of what is being said.
Less is more 👍
I didn’t notice it but now I do 😅
Excellent, brilliant advice
Thank you Matthew. You are a refreshing voice of reason and are greatly appreciated
This was so helpful. Thanks. Just started one last month, not easy however, we met online and straight away made it clear we were on the same page and the connection was great that we both felt like each one of us has what we were looking for in a partner. Pray for us to grow stronger in love daily. Thanks ❤
@thematthewhussey5 Good, thanks.
I try to avoid LDR but my type of men don’t exist in my country 😅 i agreed to my last situationship cauz he was coming to my town and it didn’t happen (solid excuses) and i can’t join him either (passport problems) so we ghosted each other 💔 a year later i still think about him and I’ll wonder what if.. this feeling sucks 😢

The view switching up and back in the video was horribly distracting.
My boyfriend after six year started to distance and ghosted .. he left without informing...not picking call msg or any information... my mental and emotional batate completely broke.. what to do
Read the proverbs about that kind of person... block him and get new rules, don't pick up the phone when he comes back...

Looooove it!!!! You need to do this more often!!!❤🎉!!!
You and Audrey just cracked me up with laughter...lol
I'm a few months into a ldr, 2.5 hours away and it's going OK but we see each other for a short while say every few weeks so far. Not ideal. We do text every day and occasionally call in between our meetings. We've met a total of 4 times only for around 1-2 days each. I like her enough to keep this going but do worry.

Chronic Physical Pain: Matthew, have you discussed TMJ with your dentist? My favorite dentist said the nice people have TMJ, because they are very careful about the way they treat others (Um, calling out partners for tidiness) and tend to internalize stress.
Can we have more of Audrey’s comments ? 😂👏🏼
I’m a 69 female and in a long distance relationship. I met him online when I was in Scotland and we had planned to meet up there but then he had business to attend to in Europe for a couple of days which turned out to be a couple of months and he is still there. I had to return to Australia. We have only FaceTimed once and our relationship has progressed to a stage that we both want the same things out of life. We talk about spending the rest of our lives together. At times he is uncontactable and this makes me anxious. I’m struggling with this. He assures me when his work is finished he will fly to Australia. Do you think long distance relationships are really doable and for how long.
Yes, it is possible. But not with this guy. Only Facetimed once? But he wants to spend the rest of his life with you? I'm sorry to break it to you, but his story does not check out.
Wanting to spend the rest of his life with you this early babe is a MEGA red flag..🚩
I’ve had this gut feeling about it and probably just hoping it’s real as I’ve fallen hard, but yes the red flag is there and even my bestie is saying ‘Red Flag’ 😢
They are .. But you need to spend time together in real life.. or else your building a fantasy
You need to arrange to meet up again if he’s a no show a second time he’s either a scammer or married and you need to let it go
Loved this video, very eye opening for me, thank you!
Gosh, this channel is so helpful, thank you!
can you do a video about a new bell i have discovered: “we are exclusive but not in a relationship, not boyfriend and girlfriend” like what? isn’t that what being exclusive is?
So I just went no contact with my LDR girlfriend of 3 years. I Have done everything to bridge our 1000 mile distance, I was gonna drive to see her she said don't in the beginning, so after a bit of time I bought her a plane ticket, she mysteriously went distant the day of flight and said she was sick, so we made up after all that and about a year ago I drove 1000 miles to see her and I ended up sitting in the hotel for 3 days before driving home cause she avoided me when I showed up. So its been a year since me going to see her and I finally said to her if she can figure out a way to see me let me know, but until then we are not gonna communicate. We have facetimed and never gave her any money so its not that type of situation I just think whenever I get close she avoids.
She’s not the one brother. 🚮
I made a mistake making an attachment with someone who i couldn't make a relationship with. She found me interested and told me I'm her crush. So she was honest that she has a long term relationship with someone, whom she didn't find any attraction to. Now I'm getting hurt every time I am with her. I couldn't get out of my head those moments we spent together. She told me she never treated the way I treated her . Now I'm still hurt and I still continue to be with her. I know I'm gonna get hurt making attachment with her.
I'm losing my boundaries I'm getting desperate.
She said she love her boyfriend infront of me n I get hurt .
She still says that I'm very attractive to her.
We even had s*x.
I don't know what to do
I'm really feeling like God is punishing me.
I'm a guy who like to have a long term relationship.
I've been single for 4 years since I have been improved myself going to gym finding ways to earn after the recent relationship.
Now I'm really hurting myself n I'm really afraid of having a relationship.
I've been watching all ur content and i would love to listen some words from you.
Thank you very much.
God is not punishing you but we do suffer the consequences of our actions... she's using you to get attention and an ego boost - there are plenty of available girls who would love a guy like you. Does her bf know she cheated on him emotionally and physically?
Best is walk away and date other girls, tell her to contact you once she's dumped the poor unsuspecting bf AND grieved the loss out of her system, personally if she'll do it to him she'll do it to you - I'd run a mile. Dignity beloved, shake off the dust when actions don't match words 😢❤🙏🏻

Soooooo, you love listening to yourself!?! I get it!
I was in a relationship with someone who was initially living in the same area but ended up going far away to study at university and for me the long distance was hard work to maintain it and was sadly forced to end it. One of my prerequisites before going on a date or into a relationship is are they within a reasonable distance to where I am geologically and are we going in the same direction as each other. My sister married a man who lived a long way but they did end up together because they were going in the same direction and that’s something to think about.
I've been dating this guy for more than three months. I did bring up serious question about what does he want or desire in this dating? or what does he looking for? we have no problem in talking or discussing that kind of topic actually. However, last week when I expressed my confusion about this dating, because I noticed that he's pulling away.
so, I told him that I would like to know whether we're in relationship or not. He told me that he enjoys the company and spending together, and so on. Despite of that, he openly said that he doesn't want to put a label on the relationship. he just wanted to take slow and let it unfold naturally.
I wonder if he wanted to keep his option open? if that so, I would be cool with it honestly. so that I can have my option open too. I told him before that I don't want to waste each other time.
anyway, It does change my perspective on this relationship after he said the he doesn't want to put a label on this relationship, it feels like that I'm starting to letting it go, despite how good we're together.
Does it mean that he doesn't want to make the relationship official? I wonder...
I’m in the same boat. Mine wants to “go with the flow”. Which is fine to know someone naturally. But if he doesn’t want a label, he’s keeping his options open. If you tell him that you want a label and he doesn’t, you’re both want different things with each other at this moment in time. I hope you can both figure it out ❤
Mine told me this two years ago I hadn't heard from him so I stopped texting him he always texted me back I haven't contacted him in over 2months nothing from him so I have decided to walk away he was always let's see what happens after two years enough was enough I won't do a ltr again to much hard work
@@JudyPop94 Ladies both of these men want casual relationships. "Go with the flow"
Ask them questions about commitment and state your relationship goals clearly.
What do you want and what are your goals. Stand in your power and speak your truth without sugar coating anything. Women are in charge of their relationship destiny.You've got this!
All the best!

OMG …Who edited this video!?! 😂They need to be tied up in a room and made to watch paint dry.😅 I got sea sick with the constant changing frames. 🤢. Great content though Matt!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 now I have nausea after reading your comment 😂😂😂... psychology 😅😅😅
My long distance relationship has been going pretty strong for nearly two years. My only problem is that over weekends he gets busy and does not call. Some weekends he has ignored me. He said that he didn't and that he was busy and has apologized but it keeps on happening. I am one of those people that do not expect responses straight away and am pretty easy going. I do not hound him with phone calls etc. I just want a good morning and a good night. Should I break up with him? I have told him a few times that when he doesn't connect with me that I get hurt because it makes me feel like nothing. I am just thinking that when I do move and we are staying together, this will continue? Is he going to be busy over the weekends and not have any time for our relationship? If he cant spare a few minutes to just greet me on the phone now.
Definetely this is not a good sign, that he does not text you on weekends. At least there should be continuity of online exchange in a long distance relationship in my opinion. We had that in our 6 years ldr, but now it is still coming to an end on my side, because there is no perspective of living together some time, so that I told him that I am looking for a new partner on dating apps. I wish you all the best!
complete BS. RUN. He’s married or in a relationship. You do not need him to confirm this in conversation or text- his behavior says it all.
We have been dating off & on for 3 years. We have never met in person, only FaceTime. He has autism & it’s like dating a child. I love him but I’m tired. He isn’t a man but I want him to be. It’s hard.
I'm a 54 yr old guy and on the spectrum. I've never dated tho got a wonderful lady friend I love and I'm starting to enjoy her company helping her build her business.
You've got to meet this guy and not facetime each other for starters. I heard that from my female friend... ' you're supposed to be a man !'
Well what Am I then ?
Maybe if this guy is within driving distance go see him. Forget the notion of relationships! Just enjoy each other's company. Go out shopping with each other for starters. Make it a mission. Go women shopping and ask him to come. Your focus will be on the task at hand. Say looking for a certain coloured chair for a room at home that goes with the curtains and don't find the chair....
Agree to meet up with him again at the shopping center and look for curtains to compliment the chair you would of replaced... Then go to a paint shop because you are thinking about repainting the room...
Make it that it's a mission and Not a date ! Autistic people and relationships are awkward as I know being on the spec.
At the end of the day you'll probably have a guy right there that's probably stinging deep down to enjoy your company without the awkwardness of feeling he has to Man Up ! Do stuff like that or at least consider it. Don't put pressure on .. just enjoy the moment. So long as things are going in a forward direction, what does it matter ?
@@bettiebxox Honey you're in a cyber relationship. Real relationships occur in person. Proximity is continuity. You cannot change a man.

Thought this was a long distance relationship video only.
3 years long distance relationship, 5 years living together. Still not ready enough. The concept of time is ridiculous.
Habría que resolver lo del traductor en Español así podríamos disfrutar su contenido Matthew. Agradecida por leerme
The biggest mistake you can make in a long distance relationship is starting it.
Trust me long distance is hard to come out of…
Don’t ever send money and if they won’t meet up don’t give them a second chance as they are probably a cat fish or lying about something serious such as their age
The choppy cut is definitely irritating. Please don’t!
Something about the distance...
It’s done too often
Is 60 miles long distances
I'm falling for a girl and I'm scared if she turns around and doesn't want to carry on
We have spoken about a lot even kids and her kids and sending pictures of her and her kids on days out
we've had some naughty texting nights 😉
I don't know if I should go on dates with others or 100% focus on us but we're not in a relationship
And scared getting too attached and falling too much to lose her
Personally I think the best is to just avoid long distance relationship 🤔
Right! 👌🏼
I dont think that way, distance can give you a taste of reality like are both ready to commit in any Situation and how can you Work through this togehter.
That's not a good thing to do
@@Nimmie111 What ?
agree
Audrey is so funny!
thanks
I just started talking to a girl that stays almost 2hrs away & I really want it to work out but I don’t want to continue to text her all day everyday even though we ft every night. I just don’t wanna be to clingy, any advice would help
This is my problem as well. I think I have already come off as clingy trying to set up a second date.
I’m in the same situation… my advice is try not to text too much that doesn’t help. Text maybe three times during the day and try to talk on the phone. Meet up twice a month .. since it’s only 2 hours , go on dates and spend time together. I don’t know if you have your own place or not but if you do invite her over every other weekend and you can go to hers according. This is what l do .. also lastly have a plan and a date on who moves where otherwise it’s just wasting time and you’re better off as friends.
Don’t be too available and clingy even if it’s long distance.. have things going on in your life like work , friends , gym etc and try to keep texting at a minimum. Best is face time and phone calls more intimate..don’t be too available it kills attraction very fast.
But you are making the money!
I love you guys
