LDR: Long Distance Relationship

Definition of terms:

LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP - magjowa / boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. Hindi yung malayo siyang magkagusto sayo ha, hindi ganun yun beshy. Haha.

Kidding aside, let me start to discuss the topic.

How can you say that you are in a long distance relationship?

Are there qualifications on how far your distance is from each other? Well, I do not know if there is but in my opinions, as long as you have a hard time on seeing each other due to your distance, then your relationship falls under long distance relationship.

Lots of couples during this pandemic are not able to see each other often due to the difficulties of travelling and some places are under ECQ, GCQ, MECQ and so on.

Some couples also ended their relationships, I do not know if it is because of the lack of not seeing each other. Lots of people on social media have lots of posts about break-ups, and some says that their relationship ended because they were been replaced to someone who is nearer than them.

Is it difficult to be in a Long Distance Relationship?

Defenitely yes, the mere fact the you can not be with them in times that you want to be with them, it is already difficult. If there are occassions you should celebrate together, you can not even celebrate like monthsaries, birthdays, anniversaries etc. When you want their hugs, kisses, a shoulder to cry on, you just can not have it.

Being in a long distance relationship is very challenging and is very tempting. Even though if you know that your partner is really into you, you jusr can not deny a fact in yourself that you fear if, what if your partner can find better than you, prettier than you. Yes, you may have a lot of trust to your partner but you just can not trust those people who will be around them. Temptations are everywhere, always remember that. Some of those married often leads to separation, then how much more for those couples who are not married yet?

If in doubt, just always trust your partner, if your partner really loves you then he / she will never cheat on you and also for you, if you really love your partner then you will never ever cheat on them. Because, if your partner have cheated on you, as long as you know you did not do anything wrong then it will always gonna be their loss. Trust your partner and tell also your partner to trust in you. Never waste the trust your partner have given to you because trusr is the most important thing both of you must have if in a long distance relationship.

Miscommunication: The challenge of not talking personally to your partner may lead to miscommunication because if your communition is only through chats, then you have no idea if your person is alreay angry or not since you are only reading their chats.

Good thing, through the help of technologies, your level of misunderstanding may be quit resolved. I can already have more time talking to each other through messenger's video call etc.

Who fits in this kind of relationship?

People who are in a Long distance relationship should be strong. Strong enough to fight temptations that will come along the way.

People who can trust their partner. As stated a while ago, trust is the most important thing in every relationship. If you can not trust someone then how will you gonna love thnf em? You can not love someone if you have trust issues.

People who have so much patience

Being in a long distance relationship should know how to wait. Patiently waiting for the moment that you will spend your day together again. Your person must really if know why is he / she waiting.

I am in a long distance relationship now, but the distance is just a two or threw hour ride. We almost see each other every weekends since he always go home in our house when it is his restday. Glad that his restday falls on Saturday and mine is on Saturdays and Sundays but sometimes I do go to work on Saturday but after my work I always see to it that we have time for each other. Yes, we're legal in both sides. I know, we can make it and that I am hoping that we will end with each other for no matter what will happen.

Those who are in a long distance relationship, make sure you will make it till the end. You guys can do it as long as you believe that you can both do it.
