My guess is OP didn't have Internet connection. That's why long distance relationships almost never work out. Things like black-outs can keep you from talking to your partner for months.

It's a love letter. I mean, aren't love letters supposed to be romantic? So, of course she sent a letter, it's a lot nicer than receiving an email.

Call me new-fashioned, but I think it's the words and feelings that count, so I would have no problem telling my partner how I feel for her by email, if it was in a long distance relationship. And yes hand-written is romantic, I agree, but if I had the option, talking with my loved-one in quasi-realtime would be a lot more enjoyable for me, given that we would be far apart.

27 - If OP doesn't have internet how are they on FML?

#27: Blackouts usually only last a few hours, or maybe a couple days in extreme situations..

33 - your comments ALWAYS make me laugh :)

Who sends a long love letter by e-mail? You? How very unromantic.

50- her now ex may not have internet although she has it.

I can't help but to laugh. Blaming the fail of a relationship on a "black-out" is just hilarious. Cause it probably has nothing to do with the fact that it is, in fact, a long distance relationship, and people do break up when you can't see your loved ones at all. Or people find out that your "cyber-love" isn't really as awesome as they seemed and they will break up. Just blaming it on a "black-out" or bad internet connection is too funny to me.

But how do you know that was the reason he broke up with her?

I feel for you OP. I did the same thing but through email. I cringe every single time I think about it. Sorry.

Why don't you try to submit an FML and see if it's "original" enough to get posted

I mean in the sense a very similar one has been posted before. No need for the snark :P

#7 Soooooo many of them are.....I'm guessing to really get 'original' one would need to start using their imagination. Only so much happens in that thing called reality. Try moderating & see the crap tha

Written love letter triumphs over your texts and emails.

23- Touché

A handwritten letter takes a lot time and effort than an e-mail. It's far more personal to use a pen and piece of paper than to sit in front of a keyboard and stare at a screen.

What's more romantic?: A letter) "Oh darling, over the past few fortnights I have missed you so, ......" A text) "miss u"

seriously I don't get what I said wrong Ive been there and it hurts.

13- So enlightening, you must have put a lot of thought into that comment.
