LDR story | “We met through League of Legends”

Spread the love

I am excited to share with you another long-distance relationship (LDR) success story. Bricy and Surag met online and are closing the distance soon! They are such a fun couple and are dancing together all the time. You will be inspired by how they’ve learned to adapt to their different cultures and are still going strong despite that.

Tell us your long-distance relationship story. How did you meet your partner, Surag?

Hi! My name is Bricy (@esapeques) and my partner’s name is Surag (@justluckyish). I am from Oregon, USA and he is from Curaçao, in the Caribbean. We met through a little frustrating game called League of Legends.

I am Mexican American, and he is Indian and part Arabic. Honestly, what we’ve learned from each other’s culture is that we’ve found a lot of connection through it. This is primarily through our family values and certain times in the year that we religiously practiced.

One thing that differs between our cultures is having shoes off/on indoors. It’s a cultural thing for him to not have them on indoors. While it’s a habit for me to have them on. This is due to my elders telling me I would get sick if I walk barefoot. Fun stuff.

It’s hard to say what our favorite things about each other are but I can name a lot. One particular thing would be the caring aspects we both have, not just for each other but for our families as well. Although we do show them differently.

We also have some pretty unique dance moves I must say.

What are some of your favorite memories together?

We spent a month in LA together where we first met in person, ate some great food, had mini-adventures, and we got to learn about each other more. It really felt as though we’ve known each other forever.

What is the best and worst part of your relationship?

The best part is that we’re always learning a lot from each other even with the distance. The only bad part would be when something tragic happens. It definitely has been hard to be there for one another 100%.

How have you grown from this relationship?

I mean besides pounds (lol), being in this relationship has helped me be more organized in my life. As to before, I felt like I was going nowhere and he had helped me a lot with that.

Surag has become a more patient person and controls his temperament problems in which I was happy to help him with. Having to do so has definitely helped our relationship become stronger.

How do you keep it interesting?

We watch tv series when we have the time, play some games and we’ve planned aloooooot for our future. Something we’ve really enjoyed is our random dance clips. We like to send each other clips of ourselves doing our most unique dance moves. I must say again.

How do you know your relationship is worth it? How do you deal with the hard times?

It’s definitely worth it. It took us a while to even consider dating, given our past circumstances with previous relationships. And here we are, stronger than ever.

Sometimes during hard times, we have to vent it out and give each other space (thinking space). In all honesty, that’s bound to happen because it’s a learning process to be in a relationship. It’s worth it because we always come back to each other. We work it out together instead of giving up on each other.

What are you looking forward to? What are your future plans together?

We are looking forward to being with each other permanently in person soon. I know he misses me annoying his butt. We are looking into moving into a home somewhere in California once we close the distance. He’s officially moving here by February 2021!!!

What traits do you think are important in order to have a successful relationship? Why?

Communication is the real key, especially in a long-distance relationship. One can’t simply read one’s body language when something might be wrong.

Speaking up when something is bothering you is a must. It is better to do that sooner than later. I don’t always speak out to him when something is bothering me (still working on it). However, when I do, I’ve noticed that it has helped him understand me better.
