Long-distance Leads to Inevitable Failure
It has been known time and time again that long-distance relationships don’t work out. And just for clarification, i’m talking about long-term, open-ended distance relationships when it’s unclear when you can meet up with your partner. So for those lovesick people that have faith this kind of relationship will work out for them, let me give you some things to think about.
Firstly, i’ll tell you some benefits of a long-distance relationship to soften the harsh reality of what’s to come. In long-distance, every moment with your partner will be cherished. These moments become more special. You won’t have to watch the shows they like when you couldn’t care less about them. You can also go wherever you want, whenever you want, without being concerned about how you look. These things are all great, but the negatives of long-distance might snap you out of this fantasy of, “I can make this work.”
It’s a huge possibility in this type of relationship where someone is:
- Giving too much and getting too little in return.
- Wanting to close the distance gap but repressing the need to express it for fear of “rocking the boat” and risking a breakup.
- Tired of living a double life; one with their partner and one without.
- Being consumed by anxiety and jealousy.
And oh, don’t forget about the phone bills! Sorry to burst your bubble, but unfortunately, distance can work with relatives, but not with romantic love.
