Trocstories Relationship Success Series

Guests: Tunde and Amara

Relationship Length: 8 Years Together (5 Years Long Distance)

Trocstories: Five years is a very long time to maintain a relationship across different countries. Most couples struggle with a few months apart. Before we talk about the distance itself, let’s start at the beginning. How did your relationship start?

Amara: Very naturally.

There was no dramatic love-at-first-sight moment.

We met during our final year at university.

At first, we were simply friends.

We attended classes together, studied together, worked on assignments together, and gradually became part of each other’s daily lives.

The friendship developed slowly.
