I Found True Love

I Found True Love But It Is Long Distance Relationship.

Our relationship is extremely long distance. And I don't mean in a different state, but we live in different countries.

We've been talking over the internet for over a year and a few months now and we have seen one another on webcam.

We first fell in love with each other when we were just friends, but eventually came to realize that we needed each other and felt that we could spend the rest of our lives together.

We are there for each other and we spoke to each other almost everyday for 1-3 hours or however long one of us had until we had to go to sleep or go somewhere.

Eventually, one day we spoke about marriage and hoped to get married and live together, but what do I do when my entire family lives in the US and his entire family lives in the UK?

What do you think?

It seems impossible to reach each other as we're thousands upon thousands of miles apart. What should I do?

Should I not give up and wait for 3-5 more years until the guy I love and I finally get to meet up?
Do you believe that we'll last that long until then?

Should I go through the pain and let him go, so that it is better for the both of us?

I have told my parents about him and they are fine with it. But he has not told his parents about us yet. Though his mom only knows about me as a friend he speaks to.

I am able to speak to him on the phone, but he can't call me back because he does not have a calling card.

Is it worth waiting 3-5 years, until I am even able to hug him or finally be next to him?

Do you believe that if he really truly loves me, that he would have told his parents about me, even though they may not approve?

I'm so confused!!!

Please, any help, advice, opinions or suggestions!

Thank you!~
