Dude Spends $3,000 to Celebrate Christmas with Long-Distance GF Only to Realize She Wants Him to Leave

Apparently, she hates his autistic social tendencies.

One Redditor spent thousands of dollars, crossed the world, and sat through 10 days of quarantine just to spend Christmas with his long-distance girlfriend. Instead of a cozy reunion, he ended up feeling like his presence was making her uncomfortable.5 years before they started dating, and the relationship had mostly been online. They gamed together, hung out virtually, and seemed to be building toward moving in together, so he decided to surprise her with an early visit before she relocated to live with him.

That plan did not go the way he expected, and the fallout left him wondering where things went wrong.

In Summary...

We're not sure what OP decided to do in the end because they never updated their post, but we have a feeling he most likely moved on.

There's no point in staying in a relationship where the only way you communicate effectively and efficiently is online. You essentially fall in love with each other's online versions.

A good and steady relationship is founded on great communication skills, but we're sure you know that already.

Well, here's to OP. Until next time.

Sometimes the trip says more than the relationship does.
