Loving from Afar Long Distance Relationship – LDR
There are multiple reasons why a couple has to endure a long distance relationship. It is not an easy situation to be in and requires a lot more than the average relationship scenario for it to work.
The world is made of billions of people, but once the heart is set on a person, the soul becomes one. There are so many different aspects added to a LDR than a normal one. I feel like both parties have to work much harder to maintain it. Date nights for example depends on how often you see your partner, can become lonely when all of your other friends and family are with their significant other and you’re at home, maybe curled up on the sofa. How about the physical aspect? The couple is subjected to a constant un-conscious test of being faithful and ignoring raging hormones even if that is humanly possible as per libido. I say call up your partner and engage in some over the phone naughtiness. Think about the bigger picture and why you are holding on to someone from afar. Whenever temptations arise, ask yourself a few questions and think before you act.
Don’t listen to chatter, and encouragement from friends to do otherwise. You always must keep in mind who you are and the importance of honesty.
Most people have doubt that a LDR will work, except for the two people involved, because they more than anything hope for it to work out and the meaning of the word “hope” plays a strong role. “Hope” is what the couple survives on. If you really love this person and you both made a decision that someone will eventually relocate then go about your relationship without the negativity of others. Listening to others and not embracing what you have as a couple can be harmful to your relationship. Chatting from afar can have benefits to, I think the level of friendship can only grow stronger.
What if your partner parties a lot? That will cause arguments, I mean who wants to hear that their partner is going out on a regular basis without them? Opening up about issues is vital, not just in a rough unmannerly way but speak in a civilized manner. Compromising is important.
Supporting each other is key, respecting each other’s goals and aspiration is needed. You may not be there to physically support but words can be powerful.
Trust is VITAL, TRUST is KEY
Now let the power within you be strong enough to over come ANYTHING
