Long Distance Relationships

Since I just started my blog, I'm very surprised on how much messages I have been getting, thank you everyone who has spent the time to read my blog!

I was asked to blog on the topic of long-distance relationships. Do they work?

Yes and no. If you know me, you would know I tend to move every six months from Texas to Washington, so I have been in two long-distance relationships. My first relationship lasted 11 months apart from each other, that's almost a full year! Lets cut to the chase, it was horrible. There was so much trust issues that lead to fights after fights, but I guess I was right in a way, I found out later he was cheating on me. How was I suppose to know what he was doing when we were miles apart. So of course things ended between us.

My second long-distance relationship lasted three months apart. It honestly felt like I never left his side, we text all day everyday. He had my full trust, I guess its different with different people. I knew I had nothing to worry about while I was away. And when we reunited, it felt so magical because, deep in my mind I had missed him so much and just being able to feel the comfort of his body was incredible.

My point is long-distance relationships can work if both people make it work. Communication should literally be the definition of long-distance relationships, without it there is no relationship. Remaining constant contact and webcamming can really help your relationship stay at a steady balance. Trust is also the key, in any relationship really. If you can't trust your partner, then you shouldn't really be together. You don't want to be living with constant frustration on what your partner may be doing while you two are miles apart. A great way to keep trust issues down to a minimum point is keeping the spark between you alive. Express each others feelings, and explain to your significant one what you love about them.

If you are ever feeling doubt in your relationship, just remind yourself why you started dating in the first place. And if that still isn't enough to carry on in your relationship, than I recommend you to part, and if it's meant to be, it will be, not now but maybe in the future.

Besides, if you really love this person and you can see yourself with this person in the future, than distance means absolutely nothing!
