BlogPost5: The Other Side of "Distance"

In every relationship the most conflict situation is the long distance relationship. Long-distance Relationship is typically an intimate relationship that takes place when the partners are separated by a considerable distance. Many relationship breaks because of long-distance relationship because of he problem in communication, time and the important in a relationship is trust. I have a friend that have Long distance relationship, she said it’s very hard because they have no time for each other because of their conflicting schedule, she didn’t know if what is he doing right now and who were with him. So, many questions that comes to her mind.

To the article of "Long Distance Relationship can Strengthen Romantic Bonds" by Richard Gray. According to his study Long distance relationship can lead to couples become closer and developing stronger bonds even though they are far away for each other rather than normal relationship because those who live in apart and don't see each other always is more intimate. In our new generation technologies is more efficient and effective to communicate to someone wherever you are. “People don't have to be so pessimistic about long-distance romance. Long-distance couples try harder than geographically close couples in communicating affection and intimacy, and their efforts do pay back.” Long Distance relationship is more open and honest and talks longer than normal couple. They always share their thoughts, feelings and emotions. For his example, there's couple who are apart from each other, David Beckham and his wife Victoria. David is at LA while Victoria is at London, they've been in a relationship in 11 years and they neither bored for each other nor fade their love for each other but they're more intimate and trust and satisfaction.




"Long-distance love may be stronger than you think" by Melissa Dahl.To her article long distance is more stronger than couples who are not far away because they are more emotional and closer to their partner. According to the survey many couples who are in long distance relationship. There's a couple named Nicole Kendrot and Richard Smith from Rochester, N.Y and starting dating Suddenly Nicole offered her to work in New York to become a web designer 333 miles and six hours drive to Rochester. She's hesitating to but she felt like she had to accept the job in New York. And when Nicole moved to New York and still dating in a long distance. For Richard it's not very hard for them because there's a Google+ to chat and video chat. They talked longer and share there thoughts and feeling. According to them having a long distance relationship is hard to interact with their partner less often but they have a great intimacy that refers to the feeling of being in a close personal association and belonging together. Not just communicating to your partner but also makes some effort. Even though you’re far away if you really miss a person will make an effort to talk with him/her or do anything, it means you really like or love him/her because if you don’t do some effort it will stop your communication for each other.

If I heard the word Long distance relationship I always think the negative side that the relationship will not work out. Now I know that having a long distance relationship is not very hard and have a positive side also that makes relationship stronger. It doesn’t matter how long the distance that separating the two of you, the important is you love each other and no matter what circumstances come to your relationship you should fight it together and if u survive it means you’re really meant for each other. The important is you always have a communication and trust for each other.
