As you’re all probably aware, In a long distance relationship (LDR); It’s at about this point when I hear a rousing chorus of “WHY?!” from those who are reading.
Well, it’s something I’ve been asking myself and something everyone who is apart from their significant other should ask themselves. But let’s backtrack to how it all begun. It can be summed up in one word.
Cliché. Need I say more? It just clicked. Anyway things happened quickly, you tend to speed things up when you’re dealing with a lack of time. One minute we were saying that it was just a fling and we should say goodbye, next moment we were checking out the best calling plan because we’d decided we wanted to see what would happen.
Basically, we didn’t want it to end. But we knew we’d have to do the distance thing.
We didn’t plan anything, we just figured it out as we went along. For those who have been in this situation, you know what I mean when I say it’s hard.
It’s really hard.
Sometime the phone just doesn’t connect, some days all you want is a hug from your partner and you can’t have it. They say that communication is the basis of any good relationship, well in a LDR (
read : Long Distance Relationship ) it is a
necessity. Without that, you can have nothing. You need to be honest and open, and for someone who isn’t great at expressing, it’s a challenge. If anyone had any trust issues when they started this, they all had to go. Of course you have to feel strongly about the person you’re in a LDR with but without trust then you shouldn’t bother. You will never know who they’re out with or what they’re doing, even for the most self-assured person it would be tough.
Trust and honesty, both necessary, but two of the hardest things to have. Strangely enough, the hardest thing for me to have to deal with has been the reaction from other people. I’m sure they don’t mean to be anything less than supportive but when you’re constantly being told that it’ll be hard and that it’ll never last, it makes everything a little more difficult.
I already know that it’s hard, it’s one that’s involved but it’s not something one have gone into lightly. Everyone has an opinion when it comes to this and everyone thinks their answer is the right one. What I’ve discovered is that we have had to figure out what’s right for us, without listening to everybody else’s doubt. For me, what it comes down to is that I’ve met someone who can deal with my interesting ways. She just happend to live in some other place. All relationships have issues that need to be dealt to and this is ours. We did the phone and email, our phone bills were huge but the way I see it is, if she was here we’d be going out a lot so we’re probably saving money. We talked so often that we probably knew each other better than a lot of other couples who have been together for the same amount of time. The best thing was that she was coming back. It was important for me to know that there was more to her decision than just us, I can’t be the only reason for her turning her life upside down. She is already got a great group of friends here, so when she does get back, things can be normal. I never thought I’d want a normal, everyday relationship and that’s the beauty of distance. You can find out what you both want, you’ve got time to get to know each other without all the other crap that comes with the beginning part of a relationship. The distance has made me appreciate what we have so when she came, I knew I won’t take it for granted..
