Perhaps,

I don’t remember very clearly, but we met once a year or twice a year… so 6 times in 3 years perhaps

With the recent one, it was more difficult although the distance was lesser than before because our situation was so weird, we were so on and off, so the gaps were bigger. We met in Oct 2018 then 2019 September then February 2021.

I know you will say it wasn’t a relationship since we didn’t meet like normal couples.

But this is what both of us wanted, a chance to be able to spend time together like normal couples. But the pandemic took away the chance.
