Tweet

I'm a great believer in love and I have no doubt at all when it comes to making it successful but on the mention and the thought of long distance relationships it leaves traces of doubt and overthinking.Cant blame myself so much owing to my nasty experience in my long distance relationships in the past and the experience I've seen my friends have. However,they say out of sight out of mind .I mean there is a distance barrier and you don't see each other often how does that deep love connection grow?is it not like investing your efforts, emotions and heart on someone ur in a fancy dream Land virtual kind of relationship thing? It makes me wonder do long distance relationship deserve a shot at building a deep love connection if it's the only chance available. Is it even worth investing in or it will always end in tears? I hate heartbreaks and personally I have not witnessed any good testimony on long distance relationships .Is it that everyone around me is just sucking it up or is it that long distance relationships dont work. I am still skeptical about long distance relationship though I haven't totally given up on giving it another shot. Would you be comfortable building a love connection over a long distance relationship? What is your experience of being in love throughout a long distance relationship?Do they ever end in "and they lived happily ever after"?
