7 Things No One Tells You About Long Distance Relationships 

When the closest person in the world to u is 10,000 miles away😔😥

When you are single af, binge watch relationship videos😂

I agree having a long distance relationship is really hard, but it will make you appreciate the experience so much more and you will treasure and hold that experience in your heart until the next time you each other again.

haha my ex broke up with me bc of “distance” but i was an hour away- 😶

it's been 2 years since I've seen my gf and I'll see her in June.

Her reaction to when he said "with a beautiful lady" is so relatable 😂 2:23

My parents had a long distance relationship during there 20's but finally got to live together around their 30's and got married and had kids. To all the people who say long distance relationships could never work. You just have to trust the person, be loyal to each other and truly love one another.

I hate that "got to go back to reality" feeling he mentioned. We go on this camping trip in the summer and really bond and laugh. We see each other 4 times per year. I hate when we have to go back home because it's back to work, back to reality. It's like "why can't you always be a part of my reality". It does make you appreciate the experience so much more though and you will treasure and hold that experience in your heart until the next time you see them.

i love how he seems more clingy than her. its so cute xD

I just need to say this YING IS SO DAMN PRETTY

"i only get to see her 6 or 7 times a year" at least yall see each other more than 2 times...

I was in a long distance relationship, I used to go see her every weekend for 3years straight. Then I moved to her city, after a month she moved to another city for an year and she used to come see me every month. After a year, I moved to one city and then she followed and then we stayed together for three and a half years. Now next week I need to go back home for 3 months. Omg life is hard but it's so worth it. *It's* *worth* *not* *giving* *up.* *Trust* *me*

me and my boyfriend Theo James are in a relationship. He just doesn't know about it

it sucks, it's very difficult and sad, but at the end, it's worth it! (6 years into a long distance relationship, 8 months living together)

um..wait. so what are the 7 things no one tells you about long distance relationships? lol

I wish my boyfriend cries when he has to go and drop me off. I feel I'm the only one who feel the pain.

I haaate long-distance relationships!! like why my fridge is so far away from my bedroom?? D:

she is so pretty omg!

She just said "hiii" If I hadn't seen my non-existent boyfriend in 54 days I'd probably run to him and scream and jump into his arms and hold him for an hour crying and smelling him

Sydney and Boston, we're 16,230km apart. It's been 3 months since he's gone and I still love him so so much. We're both students and can't afford the money to fly to each other. Idk how long it's gonna take to see him again. I wish I knew when that day comes...

if they get married, I think Steven would be like Ned ^_^

I agree my long distance relationship with my bias is beautiful, I get to see him everyday on my computer screen....*cries* struggles of international fans. But both of them are relationship goals

I remember the nights where I'd cry and cry like a baby wondering when we'd meet up again. I went TWO freaking years with my fiancé before we moved in together. Now we look back on it and laugh :) We just posted a video on our journey and tips for anyone living the struggle. It might help some of you out ^^

He seems way more excited and happy to see her than she is to see him.

I did this for 7 years with my ex, we even used to meet in different cities. In the end we went our separate ways but it was one of the most beautiful experiences thus far in my life. I learned so much and saw so many new places. At first I thought I would never have a LDR again but I think I really could do it again. It was the most intimate relationship I had ever had. Peace and love to all LDR's.

This may be the most real buzzfeed video yet. So much truth.

I live in Germany and my boyfriend lives in Korea.. We met each other in Japan, while we were on a language exchange and spend a whole month together there. We've basically been seeing each other 24/7 a whole month! Saying goodbye was really hard, especially since we're both students and don't have that much money. We had no idea when we would see each other again. Two weeks later, he kind of surprised me by visiting me in Germany! It was just for 5 days, but we really enjoyed our time. We thought it would be a bit easier to say goodbye again. Surprise: It wasn't. It's been more than 50 days till I have last seen him and it will take a bit less than 50 days till I can see him again (I will visit him this time over new year). But althought we are living so far away, we talk every single day! We spend our weekends together, watching videos, playing video games or just studying and talking once in a while. Sometimes we have a videocall and we're just doing our stuff we have to do. It doesn't matter. As long as we know, that there's someone one the other side of that call loving us and being ready to spend his/her whole weekend with you. That really helped us with this kind of situation. Actually, the thing that annoys me the most, is the time difference, especially now in winter, when it's even more... Anyway, I definetly agree that it is really really REALLY hard, but we just make sure to always have time for the other and remind the other of how much we love each other. So yeah, everyone in a long distance relationship: We can do it! I know it!

Her reaction when she picked him up was ... HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING

haven't seen my fiance in 10 months. im about to cry now :/

I've been long distance with my man for a year but it's all going to be worth it cause the next time I'll see him, we'll be getting married

Gosh Steven you just said everything that I never even put into words but feel all the time. Watching this was bittersweet cuz I know how hard it is but also how worth it (no pun intended) it really is. I think one of the hardest things is also being surrounded by people who dont understand, that tell you you cant really know the person, or that long distance relationships are doomed or arent "real" relationships, when really the two of you are stronger than most "normal" couples you know. You value each other that much more. It's just very comforting to know that other people are going through the same thing, so thank you.

This, things like this is why I get so upset when people saying long distance relationships can never work. This is why. Beautiful things can come out of long distance relationships. Who are we to assume that our soulmate is right next door?

Long distance is difficult.. My fiancee and I had to do the LD thing for almost 8 years. We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary next month and have been living together for two years now! It was worth it.

The best thing is that you have time to do so many things and study(medical student).

I have been with my husband for 8 years almost half of that time spent apart. the heart brake is so hard. Yeah it's hard but it makes real love even stronger. It makes you appreciate things so much more. I think absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

Broke up about a year ago already.... Still hurting tbh

You can tell that Steven really loves Ying by the fact that he knows that it has been exactly 54 days since he last saw her. Their relationship is just so sweet!

Can relate to this too. It's worth it in the end though.

“Trying to not think about when it’s over” yes, definitely the key.

Wow, this is the first buzzfeed long distance video that I've seen that really captures what it feels like to be in a long distance relationship with someone you are dedicated to and truly cherish. Thank you for this!

Me and my significant other dated long distance for 5 years, (Texas/England) and we'd only see each other once maybe twice a year. I'm happy to say we have been married for 2 years now, and the time we spent apart definitely made me appreciate even more the time I have with him now. Hang in there

I’ve been in a LDR for 4 years now, the last time I saw my boyfriend was actually a few weeks ago but that was the first time we’ve seen each other in two years. I can definitely say it is hard, especially if you don’t have a job yet so no frequent visits. Really sucks but also worth it. As hard it is being in a LDR there is so many benefits to it such as communication, being able to just sit and talk to one another whether it be how your day is to deep conversations. Also seeing each other in person is so precious, I remember seeing my boyfriend again and being just filled with happiness and excitement. I cherished each moment we had together. Also LDR isn’t going to last forever. There will be a time when you two will decide to want to get married and honestly that is what I’m waiting for. So to all my fellow LDR out there hold on while you can!! Stick through it and next thing you know, you two will be together in person for good. :)

When your boyfriend lives in Hawaii and you in Austria, Corona happens and you are both poor students. 🤣😭 welcome to my life... Who suffers with me?

ive been in a long distance relationship. we were very good friends for a year, then met and began dating, two years later we moved in together. another two years later and here we are. we got married in january :)

We were from 1999 (I was 19 years old) to 2006 in a long distance relationship, like you. We got married in 2009, and have a beautiful daughter. We live a really beautiful life together now, 17 years after. Those days if distance were hard times. Nevertheless, for us, It was woth it.

My girlfriend is 12,000 miles away from me and never before do I feel so much love like this. I super love her and we will make everything possible. Great video man, keep it up 💪🏻

this got me so emotional. its hard its really hard but its totally worth it like you said. I tell myself im not gonna cry every single time but the tears just keep falling without my permission. Thankfully im visiting my bf for a whole week next thursday! honestly you just gotta look forward to the better days. I think other peoples LDR stories are so beautiful and inspiring. stay strong everyone!

Here's my long distance story: My wife and I had a long distant relationship from 2005-2011 we didn't get married until June 2011 even then we were part until 2012 when I moved from Toronto, Canada to California....during the long distance I only got to see her physically 1 time a year every June for 3 weeks. But we did FaceTime every night at 9pm eastern standard time and 6pm her time for 3hours....we did not celebrate Valentine's Day together until 2011...Christmas only once....birthday only once.....even with all that we've been together for 11years this coming June. Long distance works al long as both parties dedicate time to speak with each other...trust...and commitment to each other.

I haven't seen my girlfriend in my whole life.

I've never related to something more. Doing long distance through college SUCKS, but it is so worth it every time I see him again.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder and make you miss and appreciate each other more and thats what I call love 💓

lol she seemed so unexcited when they first met at the airport

My boyfriend left for Germany in November. Won't be back till 2018.. He's army strong but our love is stronger 💕

It does work out in the end. Don't believe whatever people say about LDR and just focus on loving each other 💕

I met my bf when I was 14 he was 15. Now I'm 20 and he's 21 we have been in a long distance relationship for 6 years and finally by the end of February 2017 we are moving in together.

I am married to my former long-distance girlfriend. We would go up to 5 months without seeing each other, for four years and three months - which includes nine months waiting after we got married (for her to finish college). She is my best friend, whom I can share anything with and it was all worth it. Of course, it was hard - really hard at times - but, honestly, we knew we would make it from the beginning and God definitely strengthened us and helped us through it. The key is not to forget what it took!

4 years of long distance. Longest separation time was 7 months. We are now living together. Our relationship totals 5 1/2 years now.

Ldr are so difficult but honestly it makes you appreciate stuff in your relationship so much more ❤️ getting to hug them or kiss them etc means so much

2,000 miles away, he left 02/05 and now since the quarantine my trip in July to see him will most likely be postponed. It's definitely been tough, but I cannot wait to see him again

cute couple! :)

We beat the distance a year ago, after 5 years of LDR, and we are been living together and next month we celebrate our 6th anniversary. Last year was a year full of changes, leaving my friends and family behind and going through immigration legal process... distance was horrible but I do believe it made our relationship hundred times better and is definitely worth it when you find the right person

my heart melted when he started taking about how he crys every time has to say goodbye😣😣

Thank you for making this video...I can relate so much...my bf lives in the UK and I live in Bulgaria and it is really tough but seeing other people do it is really motivating...i hope you guys get to see each other as often as you can

With long distance relationships, I always wonder: Who is going to make the big sacrifice and move?

i'm actually tearing up because of watching this video. All you said is on point, man! It's almost felt better not to meet up with our half, because it's dreadful thinking that we have to say goodbye. AGAIN. :'(

This is such a good video to watch if you’re in a long distance relationship. Every point made is SO relatable. I thought I was crazy for breaking down after every time me and my significant other saw each other. Now I know I’m not the only one! 😁 Amazing video.

So accurate! My boyfriend lives in Paris and here i am in Quebec. It's extremely hard but let's say that you can feel the love deeper. I guess its because of the fact that you give more importance to the little moments together.

This video described everything you feel perfectly. I've been in a long distance relationship for 2 1/2 years now and it's hard. VERY hard. Last time I saw my boyfriend was a year ago, because we both can't afford to jetset (financially and professionally). And every time you see each other you cry for days when it's over. This year we'll finally move in together and I cannot wait!

I did that for a year when my husband and I were still just dating. I would fly to see him once a month for a few days, but for real seeing eachother in the airport was always the moment I knew it was always worth it! He is in the military and we are on our second deployment together and it's so hard but I feel like the long distance stuff made it so much more easier dealing with it.

Thank you for this video. My boyfriend and I are in an LDR, except with me living in Phoenix, and him living in Norway. Those emotions you felt when your girlfriend was leaving, or when you were leaving... my boyfriend and I sympathize with you. It’s not the easiest thing in the world, but you’re right. The moments we get to spend together in person are worth it. 💜

The end when he says it never gets easier is so true! My boyfriend lives in Switzerland and it sucks, but I can't imagine my life without him!

Yay I'm from Columbus! Pretty cool seeing my town featured on buzzfeed 😊

Woah, I thought this was a vlog from Steven's channel before saw the intro! Aw, glad to see Steven and Ying's story shared here :) Long distance is bittersweet 😞

This is so relatable. I’ve been in a LDR with my girlfriend since 2016 and we’ve only been able to see each other once a year since due to school and work etc. It sucks and it’s really hard but the payoff of waiting is so great. Time together really feels extra extra special. Goodbyes are always the worst though, especially when you don’t know when you’ll see each other next :(

I LOVE YOUR POSITIVITY. YOUR STRENGTH. Hope you guys are well!!

Imagine if Eugene Lee Yang and Ying married! Ying Yang

THANKS YOU GUYS for this, cuz my boyfriend and I just started long distance recently, and as much as we love one another, we still have such a hard time. Thank you for letting us know that it's okay.

Being in a long distance relationship is so hard because of the many temptations that will come along the way but if you continue to love each other and takes every effort to end that distance I'm sure you will get a long lasting relationship in the future.

He seems so committed and it makes me so happy!

Ying is so pretty omg

im going to see my fiancee somewhere around march. i cant wait. i hope everyone else the best in your relationship.

The way he compliments her and openly expresses his feelings about her.... I wish guys like that come my way more often...

I’m kind of in a long distance relationship and your video makes me so happy! I feel motivated to make it work

I get to see my bf once every two weeks, sometimes it's been three weeks and it has killed us inside.. and every single time we leave our hearts are always torn apart knowing we won't be able to have each other by our side for another two or three weeks. Longer distance relationships are brave, very brave. I've had two in which I needed to fly the country to see them every 3 or 4 months.. and I just couldn't. It was heart breaking.. yet I didn't know I would have gone through that pain ten times as much having to wait 2-3 weeks to see my current boyfriend. I just can't stand a day being apart and the same goes for him. We are going to move in together in 56days, it's been 2 years of long distance relationships and finally the pain will be over. I'm so glad. And yes, it is actual physical pain being apart, I'm not kidding. I wish you all long distance relationship fellas all the best, keep holding on!

Tried LDR after 4 years of being single and on/off chatting with guys online. I've never clicked with a guy this much, almost lost all hope with dating sites. He messaged me on July 28 and after a week, he booked a roundtrip ticket from canada to here in cebu, philippines. I can't wait to see him on January

Doing a long distance relationship with the love of my life from high school. Been together since 3 years now.Im studying abroad and i will see him in 2 months.. so excited

I totally agree! Long distance is super hard,but it has a positive side..there's a load more trust and you appreciate every still moment..leaving is the worst..everything you do reminds you of the other person! ❤every relatable video!

I've been with my boyfriend for 2.5 years and we have lived 2 hours away from each other the whole relationship and let me tell you it DOES make you so strong and connected. We have such a level of trust and a very very deep love and appreciation for each other that i know we developed through distance. For obvious reasons it sucks, but every time we see each other, its a cheesy running embrace followed by feeling supper sappy and in love the whole time. If you just got into a relationship like this don't be afraid. It doesn't have to hurt- you can do it :) (also sexting is fun and a major key bye)

Been in a military long distance relationship for 3 years & yeah it sucks lol but the wait is sooooo worth it when you love someone so much.

Florida to LA here! The first time I see him is in October ❤️ He moved out there for a job opportunity and I’m so proud of him ❤️❤️

It truly sucks every time I see him leave. It literally breaks my heart but you know what, it's totally worth it 👌💯

Been in a ldr for almost 4 years. Its definitely a struggle to vid chat the love of your life and not be able to hold them and kiss them.

When you start to wonder if they're still together and find out that Ying is engaged to someone else now ):

It can work! I have done long distance for 4 years now and I am getting married and moving in next year! I di believe it makes a relationship stronger and you cherish every moment sooo nuch

This is a great video. These types of videos are always appreciated. Thank you. I'm not trying to sound negative, but I had to give up a LDR for many reasons. The one main reason that was a major sign was because I was told by her, for lack of better words, it all depends on you and you better not disappoint me because I'm going to have to give up everything and everyone I've ever loved, known, grew up with to be there with you. First off, no one's asking anybody to give up anything. I really thought about it and asked advice and everyone said that it is a recipe for disaster. There's going to be a lot of resentfulness and anger if you two get together and it doesn't work out. I was told that she was putting me in a very bad position and that if anything went wrong, it's always going to be my fault and she's always going to throw it in my face that she had to give up everything. I had to make the hard decision, but for the better of both of us, I had to work on cutting it off emotionally and somewhat physically even though it was long distance. It wasn't easy, but I had to rip the Band-Aid off sooner than later. This isn't meant to disenourage anybody or put down long distance relationships as far as people who are involved in them and who have become successful with theirs. I'm very happy to hear about the success stories. Some people despite their best efforts can't make it work solely because it's long distance.

I am in a long distance relationship for 6 years. The beginning is hard because you can’t see them but you get used to it. It makes me appreciate the time that I get by myself as well the time I am with my boyfriend. It’s also hard when there are times you are at your lowest that you need them right now.

Being single is not a phase for me. It's the permanent definition of my life

This video made me tear up- thank you for this

This is so inspiring!! Thanks for breaking it down to the most real and difficult parts of it :)

Steven, you deserve better.
