For the past 8 months, my boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship (LDR) so I’d like to think that I have a bit of insight on this topic. People are always asking why I subject myself to this relationship, but honestly, I wouldn’t want it any other way. LDR’s always have a bad stigma around them, but people don’t realize that with today’s technology that it really isn’t all that hard to stay in touch with each other. Between the facetime dates every night, and text messages throughout the day, we are in contact with each other all the time, we even watch movies together!
Also, each time we do see each other it becomes even more special than if we saw each other every day. The moments we have together are greatly cherished, and yes leaving is very hard, but I know that we will again be together and that it will all be worth it in the end. We communicate much better than regular relationships, because we are forced into it each and every day. Yes, we have had our fair share of fights, but who hasn’t. We are able to calmly talk out the situations, and make each other happy again. And since we have stuck through this, I believe we are going to be able to stick through a lot more together!
All in all, LDR’s are worth it, because the love we have for each other grows more and more each day. This relationship is worth everything that we put into it, because we make each other happy, and that it truly what matters! Happiness is the key to life, so whatever make you happy, will always be worth it in the end. Relationships aren’t about the person whom you can be closest too, it’s about the care and compassion you have for each other.
