I've been in a long distance relationship for 9 months now. My fiance lives in Manchester (UK) and I live in London (UK).

We only get to see each other 1 day per month and the odd hour when I'm in Manchester for meetings. Luckily our company has an office in Manchester which means if I add on a visit to my fiance when in Manchester then I can expense the train tickets saving us quite a fair bit of money.

We talk every day and know that we want to be together. We are set to be engaged in December and marred in March before I move up to Manchester.

I have to say that it hasn't been easy and we've had our fair share of arguments caused by not being able to see each other as much as we both would like.
