ARE LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS WORTH IT?
What we have learned from long-distance relationships is: that you’re not always satisfied and you miss out on a lot of memories.
One the hardest parts of it all, is trying to be there without ACTUALLY being there.
In some cases, long-distance relationships can be really rewarding when both partners are investing time and resources into the relationship. However, in my opinion, they are geographically undesirable relationships.
What separates us from a deep friendship and an intimate relationship?
What’s changed?
In today’s world, we are more likely to get into a long-distance relationship than ever before. This is because many of us are meeting new people on social media or online dating sites. We have access to people that are not simply within our local area. Mobility is skyrocketing these days and we travel or work in many different places. Sometimes we are working or moving to several cities in our lifetime. So we’re more likely to begin something that turns out to be long-distance because they move or we move.
The real questions here is: Are long-distance relationships worth it?
Now you may respond to this with “Jennifer, that depends on how much you really like the person.” In contrast, I would argue;
Can you trust how much you think that you like the person?
Are you liking someone more because they’re far away, whilst ignoring or being blinded by their negative qualities or problems that this relationship would naturally present? If you were actually together every day instead of sharing virtual intimacy; than this notion of putting a premium on a relationship because you can’t have, it wouldn’t apply. You know what they say “ people want what they can’t have.”
First, you start:
- Talking to someone
- You flirt
- You realize that you find them attractive
- Then you want to communicate more often and you enjoy telling them about your day
- Before you know it, what started as harmless and fun, leads to an exclusive relationship.
- Now you are committed to somebody that you can rarely if ever, have sex with.
It often feels like you only know them for three weeks when you’ve been dating a year with so much time invested. You waste away months or even years in a long-distance relationship that never pans out. The reality is that long-distance relationships are incredibly easy to slide into when the person we’re attracted to lives far away.
Advice
Since we are such a mobile community; you should take the opportunity to meet someone new even if they are long-distance. This is because living arrangements may clarify themselves throughout the duration of your long-distance courtship. Staying open to meeting people long-distance will definitely increase your chance by improving the number of people that you are meeting with. Later on, it will be so important to assess how grounded your feelings for a person really are. This is because, in a long-distance relationship, you are playing with a resource that is impossibly finite: Your Time.
