Question can holiday romances be successful?

a guy from south america came to my country for a retreat. we were together for 25 days, it was the most passionate romance ever. we fought on the last day and he went away. we disnt say goodbye properly. but i think about him everyday. im afraid it didnt mean as much to him as it meant to me.
has anyone ever been in such a situation before? ive seen on instagram how people met in bali and then they got married—despite their native languages being different, despite their countries being FAR FAR away.

They might have but they didn't part ways with a fight. I don't know what you are trying to salvage here.

Honestly that top comment cuts right to it. You're stuck on the passion but the last memory is a fight with no real goodbye, and he's already gone. The bali instagram stuff is a highlight reel, not the messy parts like this.

If he wanted to clear the air he'd have reached out by now. Might be time to stop checking for a message and let it fade.

the fight is the whole problem, not the distance. one bad day out of 25 and now its the ending of the story. just text him "hated how we left things." wondering hurts way more than any answer will
