Long Distance Relationship


It’s the trickiest form of dating. Some people are too scared of it but others are willing to give it a try pegging a very low success rate on it. It could be the strongest relationship or the weakest…it all depends on the partners in the relationship.
It has its merits and its fair share of challenges.

PROS

Absence makes the heart grow fonder! The love just keeps growing and it’s like falling in love a fresh each time you meet.
Deep connection. Any chance to talk or meet is highly valued and appreciated. The commitment is serious and more effort is put into it.
Successful. Most end up in marriage. The couple is not distracted by ‘small issues’, they are working towards a common goal and clearly know where the relationship is headed… they do everything possible to make it work.
Trust. The partners trust each other and they are able to hold on to that trust to stay faithful focusing on their goals as a couple. They keep each other strong.
Free. The relationship does not dictate how the partners live, they are able to pursue their own dreams and build themselves. The relationship is not demanding and therefore easy to maintain without much hassle.

CONS

Physical contact. The absence of physical contact for long periods can be tough and is the main reason people shy away from it.
Unresolved issues. There are times when an issue doesn’t get addressed as it should be and the partners end up brushing them aside instead of solving them. The issues slowly kill the relationship as the partners try to act as if everything is going great.
Anxiety. The partners are on the edge and an unanswered call or text causes so much anxiety with thoughts of cheating flooding the mind at such times.
Effort. The relationship needs the consistent effort of both partners to work. If they get tired of checking up, reaching out, planning to meet up… the relationship comes to a premature end and can be hard to revive.
Freedom. The partners can be easily tempted to start parallel relationships to satisfy their need for physical contact and validation. They can conveniently choose to ‘forget about’ their partners when they face trying times.

LOVE...An Investment?🤔

Come to think of it, what is love?...Isn't it all about the time, gifts, attention you give to your partner. Every single thing you do for your partner either to win them over or keep them counts. Isn't there an end goal or an expectation in doing all these?  Don't we all expect that the more we give the more we will receive from our partners? And what is an investment , isn't it the action of putting money, effort, time, etc. into something to make profit or get an advantage, or the money, effort, time, etc. used to do this.  We however tend to convince ourselves that our actions are not essentially an investment but rather an expression of love. We've all heard of  partners who've helped the other partner when they were not doing so well in life but get dumped when cette partner makes it big. What happens? Can we say it's a case of falling out of love?.. It's just a case of poor communication between the partners. Both parties should b...

Forbidden Love; Classroom Love

Intelligence is one of the qualities people look for in a partner. Classrooms are just bursting with knowledge and hence people tend to view the people they meet in this setup as being intelligent. This is then how relationships in the classrooms are born. Teacher- Student : Teachers seem to always know everything!! This is a turn on for most of the students especially if the teacher in question has other attractive features. The downside ; Most school policies do not tolerate it. You always have to hide when you want to be together. The age difference in some cases might be too big. There is no freedom to introduce the partner to friends and family. Concentration span and performance of either or both of the partners may be affected. The open window ; This relationship is all sorts of trouble but there is a way it can work out; The age difference should be considerable and realistic (it should be such that you'd still date this person if you met under diff...
