Sometimes you just feel like giving up, a long distance relationship is simple but its not easy. Its accompanied by many trails and a series of temptations. I found out that the biggest problem that breaks up most couples is Trust, now don't get me wrong, suspicions will definitely kick in when you too far from your lover. But not rushing to conclusions every time he/she doesn't pick up your calls, puts up a status that sends you mixed messages or even someone else picking up his/ her calls. I admit the last one might throw you for a loop, but it could be anyone so basically Don't rush to conclusions and remember to keep a calm and level head. At first learning to adjust was difficult, we tried it all from trading passwords for Facebook and other social media but see that only brought about more conflict between us. Ever heard the expression ''you cant handle the truth'' well that's a fact for most cases, no one really ever wants to know the truth. Because no matter how in love you are with someone, there's always someone else out there trying to make them see that they are right for them.Just make it openly clear to your partner that you trust them completely. Insecurities thrust to high gear when you not there to do anything about it. Try talking as much as possible because communication is most definitely Key, getting enough face time and voice calls really helps. Do stuff together like reading books, listening to music,etc basically just develop similar interest and try to avoid situations that put you in a compromised position. Am not saying don't go to clubs and all these other recreational places by all means do, just be responsible and honest enough to tell you partner. That eliminates the feeling of guilt and leaves your relationship healthy and strong. Non of the things is easy but it should be simple if your love is worth it. That's my opinion through my experience..i would really like to hear yours

long distance relationship can be hard or tough if there is no understanding, if only one is just working to make the relationship works

@Shiva49 Trust is basically the foundation of a relationship. But from personal experience, a long distance is just as difficult to maintain as a short distance on.

Distance relationships have obvious benefits like, not having to put up with snoring. What we having for dinner questions. Leaving a mess in the kitchen/bathroom/bedroom. Whose turn is it to do the dishes? Stuff like that. Switch off computer and goodnight.

lol @Orson_Kart well i wouldn't call that a benefit really, because there is a certain beauty in the daily routines. When you spend some time away from your partner its those little things you come to appreciate.

It depends on people who are loving each other so much. It is not the distance as the main factor of breaking up but the will of believing each other's love.
