Why People Hate Long Distance Relationships


A long distance relationship is one that exists between two people who are not in the same physical location. The distance between both parties varies but the constant thing is that they are not close to each other because of the distance between their locations. 

Some people thrive with long distance relationships, and would even choose it over a relationship with someone they have easy access to and their reasons vary.

Here are some issues with long distance relationships

1.    Miscommunication

A long distance relationship in the 21st century exist mostly online, it survives on calls and text and chats. Every discussion is done without seeing the person. Communication is generally better when you can see the person because words are not enough when we talk we use our tone, body gestures and facial expressions to fully and properly convey the message. 

For example, if I say “what is wrong with you” and add a question mark it could mean that I am genuinely concerned about your wellbeing and want to know what is wrong or it could mean that I am angry and asking a rhetorical question to imply that something is wrong with you. When you can’t see them and hear them there is a big chance that you would misunderstand their message.

2.    Time

Maintaining a good relationship is generally time-consuming and requires a lot of effort. In a time where there is so much to be done and little time available, there may be an issue with creating time to spend online with your partner. If a person works in an official capacity, there’s little or no time to spend with your partner because during the day you are working and when you close from work, you need to rest and prepare for the next day. If they were in the same location as you, then they could come over and spend time with you after work or vice versa.

3.    Loneliness

One of the major parts of being in a relationship is having someone in your life who makes you feel complete, one who makes you feel like you are not alone and the way that happens is that you can talk to them anything you have an issue or just feel alone. When you are down and just want to be with someone who would just hold you and be there for you. Or when you need a hug or other forms of physical intimacy. 

There are times when you are going through something and all is you want is someone who would support you and not judge you for your actions. When you don’t have readily physical access to your partner, the one person you want, especially for someone who is very physical, life becomes lonely, you know what you want, you have someone who can give it to you, but then you can’t get it. 

If you have ever had a successful long-distance relationship, tell us how you did it.

MY SPOUSE, WE NEED TO GROW UP...✍️

1. We need to grow up and stop this game of tit for tat. It is childish to revenge. 2. We need to grow up and stop this silent treatment that lasts for weeks. Grown ups don't behave like this. 3. We need to grow up and stop talking constanly about our problems and start focusing on solutions. Grown ups act. 4. We need to grow up and stop exposing our children to our drama and issues. We shouldn't act childish in their presence with disunity and attitude, they are under our care. 5. We need to grow up and learn that disagreeing doesn't mean we don't love each other. Grown ups learn to work through the differences. 6. We need to grow up and become accountable and responsible so there is no need to suspect each other. You don't need to police me, I don't need to police you. 7. We need to grow up and stop allowing our parents and friends from coming between us. This is our marriage, not theirs. 8. We need to grow up and stop shouting and provoking each o...

HOW A MAN CAN MAKE HIS WOMAN FEEL SEXY...

1. STARE AT HER WITH DESIRE A woman feels wanted most by how her man looks at her. Men are visually stimulated beings so she will look to see if your eyes tell her 'I want you.' 2. LET HER KNOW WHEN SHE TURNS YOU ON She feels good when she knows she arouses you. If you are near her and with a hard on or thinking about her when you two are apart and find life in your boxer too hard for comfort; let her know. She wants to know she has an effect on you; even after years together she wants to know she's still got it. 3. PRAISE HER BODY Speak it, let her hear you talk so good about her sex appeal. 4. NOTICE HER EFFORTS If she gets a new hair do, a new dress, if she works out; let her know you are paying attention. 5. PROTECT HER FROM HERSELF A woman can sleep feeling sexy then wake up doubting her sexiness. One negative comment from someone can easily make her question her appeal. She might look at herself and not like her body weight, size or shape and she lowers ho...

Everything In My Marriage Changed When I Got Pregnant

I turn twenty-seven this September, and I have been married for almost a year now. Before we got married, my husband was quite the doting partner. He was always in my space and just couldn’t get enough of me. That was one thing I loved about him. It made me feel like he needed me to function properly. That’s the pace our relationship grew at, until we got married. A few days after we got married, I found out that he was cheating on me while we were dating. He had even cheated two weeks before our wedding. I confronted him about it and he admitted it. “Yes, I cheated before we got married and I’m sorry for that. But I want you to know that I respect our marriage vows so I will not repeat that mistake. It ended when we got married, trust me on that.” It was difficult but I forgave him and we moved past it. Apart from that cheating thing, the few months of our marriage were good. We were always hot for each other. I felt that was going to continue for a long time. And then I g...
