How long were you in a long distance relationship before you got together in person? And was it everything you thought it would be?

We were in a long distance relationship for 9 months before I moved to be with him. In hindsight that isn’t very long but felt absolutely like forever, as though every minute was just full of yearning. As for it being everything that I hoped it would be, yes and no. Sometimes he drives me insane, sometimes I’m bored out of my head. It’s sort of… just life isn’t it?
