Please tell me your experiences with long distance relationships. Did you get married?

I'm currently in a LDR (US/UK) which is getting pretty serious. Suddenly all I see around me are LDR, go figure! I know a few people where it's worked out - my cousin met his air hostess wife online for example and she was flying back and forth for awhile, before they got married and she moved over to the U.K. to be with him.

Please tell me your stories. What helped make things work, when you managed to finally live in together (or what went wrong if you didn't manage to do so!) if there was an adjustment period there, how things are now

Thanks ☺️
