Hello everyone, good evening and welcome to my blog. I'll be talking about my experiences with long distance relationships.
Long distance relationships can be challenging, but with the right mindset and strategies, they can also be incredibly rewarding. I hated Long distance relationships, like I didn't even want to hear of it, until I goui myself in one , I didn't even know. I loved it when I could see you physically or I just know I could get to see you anytime I want to. Physical presence really mattered to me.
Just like I said at first, that long distance relationships could be so challenging. Below are the challenges one can face in a long distance relationship.
- Communication barriers
Sometimes this is just the major problem, "communication". Sometimes your partner has poor connection, signal issues, or might get busy with work and you don't get to talk, or he or she doesn't know how to keep a conversation going. Or your partner prefers call and you prefer texting, or the opposite. All of these can be a very serious challenge in a long distance relationship.
- Lack of physical intimacy
One can end up missing ones facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice.
- Trust issues
It is always difficult to trust each other because you don't get to see this person often, you don't know or see the things he/she does, delaying in picking your calls, not replying text faster can make you be in your thoughts for a very long while and cause trust issues even if the person is clean.
- Feeling disconnected
There is always this difficulty in expressing your feelings and emotions or even feeling vulnerable mean well if it was someone close you could be able to express yourself well.
Despite the challenges there are still benefits of a long distance relationship. It fosters deeper communication. You get to talk more. And also there will be an increased independence. And one thing ive also noticed is that you'll fet so creative, especially with date ideas. They'll be a stronger commitment from the both parties and also personal growth.
The challenges can also be overcomed. Regular scheduled calls or video dates even if it's not everytime.You both can share daily updates, pictures, journals and even videos. This is from experience, I ws able to keep up with jis daily activities and same with him. You could try other social platforms. Mine was Instagram and it worked for me. Learn more, don't get boring. Another thing is being open and honest about each others emotions and needs. Clarify your misunderstandings and make sure to confirm your understanding. Build trust through consistent communication.
Long distance relationships require a lot of effort and dedication, but they can also bring immense joy and personal growth. By embracing the challenges and celebrating the benefits, you and your partner can make your love shine brighter than ever.

Best wishes ❤️
