Sorry that the audio isn’t great when I’m sat down chatting! I was too far from the mic so it was super quiet & I had to try and rescue it 🤍
Are you bi or single
@@nicolewolfeceointeresting opposites 😂 did you watch the video?
I have had a long distance relationship with my husband twice. first for 15 months, second for 5 months and then in our thirties and forties he had to travel 7 months of the year. 32 years later we are still together 😍
I love this so much!🥰
I think this a good opportunity to learn to be alone because at the end of the day the most challenging thing is to have a relationship with ourselves, we need to face ourself with ourself. I am sure you will miss your husband at times but enjoy this time of growth, it's worth it.
I don’t understand any of that.
But i do....❤ at the end of the day you will get stronger with yourself and the relationship get stronger too
I really admire you for making decisions based on whats best for you both individually. At your age (I’m 50 now) i would have probably ran after my man thinking that was the right thing to do and not wanting to be apart from him but in hindsight I really wish I had been more thoughtful towards myself. Like you say, i think that would have made for a better outcome in the long run. Well done and enjoy this chapter.
Oh Hannah, my heart goes out to you. It can be so confusing to be so happy for him & his future, yet grieve the loss of your current life together. This will be such a transformative period for both of you, and I know the best is yet to come! 🤍
This is the start of a new chapter Hannah and we will be here with you ❤ I know that even though this is not the easiest time for both of you and Kenny, it will eventually lead you to the life you are dreaming for you as a couple and for your future family ✨️ sending you much love 💌
Huge congrats to Kenny on the transfer and I think this is a wonderful opportunity for you both - it is great that you are able to spend this quality time with your parents as Kenny is with his mum; it is not common for adults to get that and it is quite a luxury. I am sure it will be really challenging to be away from your partner (especially newly engaged), but trying to focus on some positives.
Thank you for opening up to us - we are here to support you on this chapter!!❤
Totally agree. I’m similar age to Hannah and also recently engaged, my partner & I are doing long distance (albeit in the same country) whilst we figure out where we want to buy & settle. He gets time with his mum & I get time with my parents, which I’m cherishing daily. A rare luxury indeed.
Thank you for being so open and honest with us. Choosing the bigger life and sacrifice something now for a better and bigger future is not easy but there is no doubt that you can do it. You are a brave, strong, smart, beautiful and inspiring woman! Sending you all the love x ❤
That is so kind, thank you so so much ❤️
Hannah take this time to challenge yourself accomplish all your goals and the tasks that need to be finished, take this time to really get to know yourself and what your capable of doing in this alone chapter so that when you two are together again everything will seem complete. Such a blessing to also have this quality time with your family and if you ever feel your alone remember we are there whenever you need to chat❤
Living alone was the greatest gift I gave myself and i grew so much. You'll learn so much about yourself. Best of luck to you and your future!
Talking from experience and two long-distance relationships later (Germany - USA): Is it tough ? Absolutely. Does it keep the relationship fresh ? Yes.
The hardest thing for me was being separated from 'my' (his) 2 lovely dogs when I was away - which made me volunteer at my local shelter as a dog-walker which I do to this day. Best decision ever ! 💛
Whatever we need to do to protect our minds - that's what we need to do. Wishing you the best ! 🌿
Hello Hannah from the north of Spain, my husband is a merchant marine and only comes home 4 months a year, we have been married for 30 years and very happy, if the couple is solid they can endure everything, congratulations to Kenny and you for your wonderful videos💐🤗
That’s amazing, thank you ❤️
I love your outlook on this! Living alone has ups and downs but it's honestly a good thing to do at least once in your life.
Hannah, truly, you’re going to come to value, appreciate and love the time you spent on your own. ❤
Me and my boyfriend of 5 years have just started being long distance about 3 months ago. What you said about making short term sacrifices for long term was the exact reason we made that choice too. It’s nice to have the time apart to grow as individuals too :) I feel like it will be an adjustment but once it’s been abit of time you will thrive!!
Your engagement ring is stunning, congratulations to you both. We are all here for you and Kenny while you navigate this part of your journey. Well done for making such a sensible and forward thinking decision. Love to you both xx
I forgot to mention, I wish you all the best with your fiance. If you both are dedicated to making a long distant relationship work than it will. It's all about working things out together & great communication, stay positive and I hope that you have a blessed & incredible year! ❤
Such a grown up thought out decision by both of you. I admire you both for doing whats best for your careers now for the benefit of the future Hannah and Kenny. You will never live alone with Little Roo by your side. Our fur babies are such a comfort and blessing. All the best to both of you in this next chapter of your lives and relationship x
Good luck Hannah ! I feel proud of you. A new chapter that will learn you so much things. You got this
Hannah, though times may challenge, they're the threads weaving your dream life with Kenny. Your honesty inspires 💜 Thanks for letting us into your real, beautiful journey. 🌟 Much love! 💌
Hi, Hannah; I’ve been living on my own for the past four months now, and it looks like I will be for the foreseeable future. During that time, your vlogs Have really helped me when I felt lonely. I’m so grateful, and hope that, like me, you will soon start to feel happier in your situation. I read a magazine article a while ago, and this lady described living on her own as being able to “edit the day as she feels like it“. I think that’s a lovely way to put it -do as you please, when you please. Looking forward to sharing this next part of your life journey with you x😊
Aw Hannah, it’s so refreshing to see you taking this in stride. I know you’ll be stronger than ever, and I wish you both the best next few years as you navigate this adventure! Kenny and I are both half Thai, which I just learned so that’s cool to know!
I've been with my partner for almost 8 years now, 5-6 of those years were mainly long distance. We have been living together for the last 2 years now. What really helped me get through it was to keep working towards our goals and remind ourselves of what our end goal was (being able to live together was ours)! Planning upcoming trips really helped too as we looked forward to these each time. I know it won't be easy but you will find solice in the little things along the way. Thank you for sharing this part in your new chapter!
What an exciting chapter ahead!
I knew as soon as you said things were going on in the background 100% Kenny was changing clubs and there was a big move ahead!
I have a colleague who's husband plays football professionally - they have lived all over the world togethor with their children and at other times she stayed in Australia to keep the kids stable at school and he played overseas and it works for them. Very excited to see your travels - good luck x
I’m sure you will both make the long distance relationship work. You have love and respect for each other and that’s a great base.
I’m sure with your family and followers here, your love of reading and nature and your beautiful dog you will get through this chapter ❤
Sending you so much love and hugs 🤗 thank you for being open, honest and real with what you share. It won’t be easy but you’ll get through it and there will be travel and amazing times together! It will make you both stronger and making the sacrifices now will make your future all the better ❤xx
I really appreciate your discussion on you both doing things that you individually need. This will be great personal growth. Congrats to Kenny on the transfer :) and you will have a nice sunny country to visit regularly 💫
I’m sure it’s not easy but I have no doubt you’ll learn so much more about yourself and grow so much from this, both you and your relationship ! Also, it’s sweet of you to share this with us because you didn’t have to 😊 sending you love and good energy your way 🤗❤️
Congratulations on your engagement 🎉❤ good luck for this new chapter!
It was so good to watch this video and hear your updates, Hannah. I was worried when you uploaded less during December and felt a major change must be coming. None of us here know you in person, but through your channel we have come to care hugely. We were all hoping you were okay. It's so encouraging for the future that you and Kenny are making all the big decisions together and are forward-thinking enough to know short-term pains will lead to long-term gains. Although it's sad you are apart for a while, there are still lots of things you can do to keep the closeness from afar. The time will pass quickly as you keep yourself busy and embrace the empowerment of living alone. We are all with you and are looking forward to being a part of your next chapter ❤ x
I know living alone for the first time is challenging, but you seem like you are strong enough to handle it. My husband is in the United States Army, and he has been deployed 4 times since we met 18 years ago. Some days are easier than others, but I feel like you have a lovely family that you can count on, which is fantastic. I have a daughter around your age, so as a Mum I'm sure your parents will be supportive any way they can. 😊
I kinda felt emotional listening to your life update 🥹🥲❤️
Sending extra love and positivity ❤️💫
the timing is crazy! my boyfriend and I also are a covid couple since 4 years and he leaves today for quite a time to the US :( so I feel your pain. We will get through this together ❤️
Communication and trust is key to a long distance relationship! You and Kenny will do just fine, adjustment for both! You’re wardrope looking great!!!
Roo is the sweetest!!! 🐾🐾❤️
Looking forward to upcoming decor things!!
You will be ok, Hannah. I live on my own - well, with my dog. I wouldn’t be without her! I’m not in a relationship but yours is a strong one and it’s so much easier to stay connected these days. You will make it work. You have a busy life and plenty to focus on and it’s all working towards your end goals individually and as a couple xxx sending you lots of love xxx
Hey, nice to see that kind of accidenttaly there is a transition period where your parents stay in the house with you for a short period of time, even though Kenny has already moved out, excited to continue watching the vlogs about the new journey 🌷🙂
Sometimes it can be the hardest thing to do, to make a decision that you know is right but hurts a lot. We will be here with you through this journey and hope you enjoy the time you get to yourself with little Roo. ❤
Honestly for me living alone is the best it's absolutely amazing and sitting at home by my self alone in my feelings and emotions is truely wonderful.
I sincerely wish you both all the luck I the world. we are here to get you both through this and will miss Kenny, too xoxo. Dressing room looks amazing and loving your new clothes
Thank you so so much ❤️
My boyfriend and I have been in a long-distance relationship for 5 years before being able to finally move together a few months ago. It wasn’t a crazy distance like yours, but still.
And I can tell you that yes, it can often be veeeery hard, but if you decide to see it as an opportunity to get to know yourself and focus on you, it can also be a great experience for both. Best wishes for this new chapter✨❤️
I hope you're adjusting to the long distance well, I'm at uni and I only see my boyfriend from back home every other week and I can't imagine not being able to see him as often as I do, I get so upset when he's not around. But distance makes the heart grow fonder, we've been together for a year and a half and it is absolutely manageable, if anything this will make you stronger individually and together
All the very best to you. My husband and I had to live apart for close to 5 years while he had to work in other state (in US). It IS do-able! And you are always nice and upbeat because you are so happy to talk to each other! Snail mail is fun too. You forget that time too, once he returns, it is like he was not gone at all. Stay focused on work, studying, and get a pet!
So so so excited for this next chapter for you! I selfishly got sad thinking you'd move to Thailand too (and the cozy vlogs would change), but this makes me so happy 🤍 also your hair looks so long and stunning!
Awe congratulations 🎉to Kenny, sounds amazing but at the sametime hard on u both 😢 but it will be with it in the long run and enjoy having ur mum and dad living with u 💖 spending family time together ❤️ loving ur new wardrobe and vlogs and always look forward to them every Sunday and thank u for being u and so honest. Also where is ur lovely necklace from, its stunning 😍 xx
Long distance relationships can really be difficult but they're not impossible. When you see each other after a long time it feels incredible, but I won't lie to you, the last day and saying goodbye hurts every single time. That part doesn't get any easier (over 2+ years in mine and it's still hard!) but it is so worthwhile if you work at it. Welcome to this new chapter of your life!
You are so brave and inspiring! Wishing u both the absolute best
My husband and I were apart for 3 years, I live in California, got married in 1986 at the Philippines, he emigrated in 1989. We’re still together, happier than ever. We’re in our mid fifties now. So if you do the math, we were very young when we got married. It definitely can work, as long as you’re both committed and love each other above and beyond anything else. Good luck.
Congratulations on your engagement I love the outfits xx
I needed this video! My boyfriend and I are about to do long distance! I love how you explained making hard choices now to build your future.
We have got you Hannah!! Sending hugs xx
Oh.. I just noticed that you did. I missed the recepie patch before. Thank you! I love your videos you are so lovely💕😘
Great video, Hannah!
Long distance is definitely hard, but it’s totally possible! Stay strong and make sure you communicate - wishing you both all the best 💕
God bless you and give you strength for this season. May the Lord bless you and all those you hold near and dear in your heart. Thank you for another lovely video.
Congratulations to Kenny and I hope you’re doing ok, I’m sure it’s taking a bit of navigating. But I think it’s also a really good opportunity like you say to try some more cooking!
Also, the wardrobe looks beautiful!!
Hannah love your channel . Sending big hugs . ❤️
Hi Hannah Happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and I enjoy your channel
It will be strange not seeing Kenny in your videos❤
Your be absolutely fine,but love all your vlogs with Roo.😊
Sometimes stuff like this makes you stronger and different chapters in life.x
Oh my gosh congratulations Hanna I'm so happy for you ❤️😍😍😍
My husband of almost 24 years and I had to spend one year apart while I finish school abroad before we were married. It was difficult but it really showed me that we were really meant to be. We went through some trials and we stuck through it. I’m happy to say we are still happily married. So I hope that gives you and anyone else a bit of encouragement 🤗
I was starting to cry as I heard the moving out, it must be very hard for you both. BUT as a lot of women say here: this is the best decision you can make now, and I’m sure this period will make your relationship stronger! Go girl!:)
You’ve got this Hannah x
Thanks for sharing x
Couples need space, to be their own person. When it's too suffocating, you get so lost in the other person, you forget who you are and it could be scary. The best saying: "Love in such a way where the person you love feels free."
I hope you are ok ❤ Ive been in your situation, just take care, I know how hard it can feel, and loneliness can be extremely hard. In all honesty, I followed my ex all around the world for him, and I never thought about myself, I think it’s so great you are thinking of you. So happy your family have been there for you. Some people love long distance, but others it’s too much, and neither is wrong ❤️ if things ever get too much, Thailand is a beautiful place 🥹
Hi Hannah love your vlogs sending hugs x❤
Thank you for sharing your experiences, I have a great trip for you, stay busy, don't stay alone very long, it's not good, the worst experiences in my life came from being alone. It's good to spend time doing things alone but not to stay stagnant or spend too many days alone. If your looking to do in-network & self exploration that's great for a day at a time. So, watch out for negative thoughts and feelings. Don't dwell on the negative stay positive. Keep yourself busy it's the best thing you can do for yourself. All the best to you! Much light, love & blessings!!❤
I resonate with you, Hannah and I think the ability to make hard decisions together despite the fact that you both will have to live apart for a time shows so much about both of you and your relationship. You've built a strong bond and deep trust in each other while also respecting that you have to grow individually to achieve the life you want to live as a couple. I'm from Thailand and live in the UK with my husband - When I decided to live here, we knew there was a chance I would have to go back to Thailand, or he had to move somewhere for career opportunity, so I completely understand how difficult this decision is, but I'm glad you are happy and excited about the future. Best of luck to Kenny with his career and to you adjusting to a new life chapter! (I didn't realise Kenny is half-Thai!)
(Secretly waiting for Thailand/South East Asia vlog when you get a chance to visit him xx)
Congratulations to Kenny, you are a strong, wonderful, strong couple . You will be fine ❤ we are here😊
Well done Hannah for being a strongwoman!My husband and I lived in France back in 2009 ,just 6 month after our second child was born,my husband had to back to Uk to work. I was left with a baby and a 4year old child alone in a strange country,without family.After 6 month it took its toll on me and we all move back to Uk .It’s certainly not an easy decision to let your partner go,but it’ll work out,you’ll make it work!!stay strong and visit your family as much as you can!All the best wishes!
I was long distance with my boyfriend, he in Hawaii and I in Washington state. While it was hard, it also made our love stronger. We have been together since we were 16 and now we’re 20
Awww - sending you lots of hugs. You can do this! Xxx❤❤
Hannah I swear is it weird i feel like i was just chatting with my BFF? ❤💓 I luvd this vlog it's going to be so empowering and also strengthen ur bond both with urself and ur luvd ones from hard situations we grow the most ^^ we will be here to support u fr 🙌😘🥰
Yayyyyyyyyyyyy love your vlogs and the vibe ❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
I don't want to say it gets better, but it does easier. I’ve done both the long distance and now living alone, and though it gets lonely at times, I’m glad you have people who love and support you, and that will help. Nonetheless, I’m sending you hugs. ❤
Ooh Hannah which antique centre is that? So many good pieces!! ❤
Was in a long distance relationship w my partner for 3 years. Moving in together after that was bliss. It’s possible it just is hard! But if you both want it you got this
Congratulations on your engagement and best wishes to you and Kenny as you navigate your long distance relationship. That is wonderful you have your parents and sister for support and he has his Mom. Plus, your precious Roo who will take care of you. Rhyme intended. 😂 All the best!
I know this will be a difficult time for the both of you. I believe it will make your relationship stronger.
In the meantime we are all here to support you!!!!!
You won’t feel lonely Roo will really help you.. doggies are so wonderful that way .. trust me 🐶❤
You’re so right - I’m so glad I have her! 🥰
My Father served most of his adult working life in the 🇺🇸 Military. They worked through many many years of deployments , separations , packing up and moving, and raising a family with a happy committed marriage. It 100% can be done successfully. Best Wishes for the future you envision ⭐️ ❤️
Good Morning Hannah 😊 We’ll be right here with you whilst you navigate this new chapter in your life xx
From Kerry in Wiltshire 👋
Thank you so much Kerry 🤍
❤
That cake looks delicious!
Amazing vibes Thank u ❤
I am currently doing long distance with my boyfriend - we were also a 'covid couple' and had lived together for a year and a half before an opportunity came for me to work in Dubai. It's now been 18 months and although it is difficult at times I think focusing on the end goal is the main thing that gets you through. (What difference is a year or two when we have the rest of our lives together?) Living alone is an adjustment but I'm sure you'll love it 🥰
Wishing Kenny all the luck in the world. He was loved by the Blackpool fans, it'd be nice to hear from him to say goodbye to the fans. 😢🍊🧡
wow Hannah like you said this is for your future together Kenny and your family will all be with you and we are here for you and you have lots of things to do ❤ you can both visit you are a beautiful person you are never alone Roo is your bestie you can get in the car any time visit friends family when times maybe lonely...what a wonderful new chapter Kenny will be there all time he loves you so much ❤❤we do too xxx Delese
Oh, and when it comes to intimacy you can live without it until you see your partner again. I was in a relationship for 7 1/2 years with no intimacy & I had a blessed relationship. We focused on other things & loved each other despite of the intimacy. You can definitely have a long distant relationship & make it work. All the best! You can make it! ❤
Lovely wardrobe 🥰
Hi Hannah! I do admire your relationship! Very inspirational! 😊
Probably not the right time to ask but where are your jewellery from? I love the necklace/earrings and 💍 absolutely gorgeous! X
Enjoy this time on your own…once you have a family you will long for these days at times 🙂
can only echo the comments below! You've thought it through. If you can do this you can get through anything! Turn your pain into passion by throwing yourself into you and your passions! ❤
Do you have a house tour video?Your closet is simply beautiful.❤
I love the jacket you took to the antique shop. Do you have a link? Or does anyone know where it's from?
Love the size of your ring!! Currently choosing mine (lol) what size is the stone if you dont mind me asking? :)
This suggestion may be different than others, but when my boyfriend and I were long distance one thing we did was play video games together. You don't strike me as the gamer type and I'm not sure if Kenny plays any games, but its a really good way to spend time together when you run out of things to talk about. You're still hanging out and having fun, working together towards something, etc. If he left behind an xbox/ps4/pc you could get a live subscription and play with him in real time. It keeps things fun when you're apart and the days are dragging! I can think of a few games if you're interested!
I think you should move there girl. Your job allows it and you might benefit from it content wise. Not that it’s my business or that I have all the information to have an opinion or that you asked for it. Hope you’re doing ok ❤
My husband worked away for many months at a time, many times over the years and I was alone with three small boys. We have been married 42 years now. It can be a bit lonely sometimes but it is for your future. You have family not too far away for support. FaceTime etc will see you through.
i definitely would've enjoyed that cake 🍰
Congrats on your engagement and wishing you all the best in the long distance chapter ❤ I live in the Manchester area too and would love to know where the antique shops were? Thank you 😊
Thank you! It’s called Reclaimed World - it’s south of Manchester 🤍
I feel for the both of you. Long distance can be a challenge and I have never had to do it from different countries. If it helps, my husband and I got married and then found out that we would be separated by about 90 minutes, but both in super busy things. We were on our honeymoon when we found out. It was a difficulty but we made it work and we have been married almost 34 years (and four children later). Sometimes life gives us challenges that ultimately grow us into a stronger couple and stronger individuals. I hope that this is a time for you to become more comfortable being alone and get to enjoy traveling to see each other. And who knows, maybe you will move there for a part of it. I hope Kenny does well and enjoys his time there.
Do you plan to ultimately move back into this home together? It is so lovely that you are so close with your family there. I’m glad they are staying with you through this adjustment. And it is normal to feel the stress. Remember that all change is stressful regardless of whether it is good or bad change. So give yourself the grace to be okay with that part of it. You will be just fine and have a wonderful life together to look forward to. Congratulations on the engagement!
