7 STRUGGLES ONLY PEOPLE IN LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS CAN UNDERSTAND

Oh my, being in a long distance relationship can be compared to taking a lime, where at one point it makes you feel good and at the other point it gives you a different feeling.

Being in love is a good feeling, but when distance takes your lover to a different location, it really might be a difficult one for the heart to take. When you miss your better half so much and the only thing you can do is communicate with that person, it could really make your heart ache and long for that person, and the fact that you can’t be with that person at that time would make it a difficult situation to be in.

There are certain feelings only people who are in long distance relationships can understand, and I would share seven of them.

1. LONELINESS

When you miss someone so much and you know you can’t be with that person, it could really become extremely lonely. Skype, calls and chats on social media is nowhere near enough at such times; loneliness could become so part of your nights that your pillow becomes your best friend. Have you ever noticed that long distance lovers hug onto their pillow a lot? That’s because they just need to be with that special someone at that particular time, and the pillow just seems to be the nearest comforter.

2. REMEMBER MOMENTS

Lovers that get to be with each other regularly have no clue what it feels like to remember moments. In a long distance relationship, moments are all you have to live with when that person isn’t around; every moment spent with that person is relived every day.

3. LONG FOR SEX

When you miss your partner so much, you long for such passionate moments that lovers have but don’t know the value of. Every kiss, every stroke, and every touch you relive in your mind – this would make you long for a passionate moment with your partner that can’t you have.

4. STARE AT PICTURES

No one can understand the relevance of a picture as much as a lover in a distant relationship. Long distant lovers stare at pictures of their better half a lot, because each picture brings its own special memory, and every smile in that picture creates a feeling that no other person can understand.

5. WISH YOU WERE HERE RIGHT NOW

‘Wishing you were here now’ — I bet no one uses those words as much as lovers in distance relationship. Being apart makes the heart ache a lot and even the body too, sometimes it could even add a feeling of desperation, and the only way to calm such feelings is to be with a partner that would never be there at that time. Only distant lovers can truly understand this.

6. LONGER COUNTDOWN

With distance lovers, each passing day without your lover seems like a very long month, and a month seems like a year; the night becomes so long and the day runs so slowly like an exhausted athlete who has no zeal to finish off the race. With this, the countdown to be with your partner becomes extremely longer than it may even seem.

7. TIME FLIES

The paradox of the whole distance relationship thing is that one moment ago when your partner is away, you feel that time is so slow, and when you eventually get to be with that lover, the same time which they say remains constant moves at the speed of light. A week roll by like it’s just a day, and before you know it, your lover is off again, and distance plays a wicked role of separating two hearts that long to be with each other so dearly.

Long distance relationship should teach us one thing — enjoy every moment you spend with that person you love, because someday all you might have could probably be memories.
