Long Distance

        Nobody will blame you if you don’t believe in long distance relationships. Simply because it never worked with any of the people you know. Sure the love may have been true before one of them had to leave the other in a far away land. Sure they may have tried to work things out but it is man’s nature to look for physical contact especially if they’re used to it.

        If you were the one left and your significant other had to leave wont you miss him? You were used to having her beside you, to love you and hold you and suddenly she’s not around anymore. You were so used to picking her up from work, buying gifts for her and giving her the world and suddenly, you have no one to give all the affection to. Well, at least not physically. You’d feel like shit right? THEN one day a guy shows interest in you. Of course you’d resist. But eventually, (admit it) one day you might find yourself confused although you really do love your boyfriend but its just that he’s not here with you. He’s not able to do the things that he used to do and here’s this guy doing all sorts of affectionate things.

        Because you truly love your partner-who is by the way- hundred and thousands of miles away from you, you’d initially stand your ground. You’d refuse this new guy because you made a promise that you’ll wait for your partner. You’ll wait for him to come back, faithfully, truly.   

        But the question is, is he doing the same? Let’s face it, men will be men. But will he be man enough to stay faithful to you even if he’s itching for physical touch? Will he man up to refuse all possible temptations that may come his way? Will your love for each other be enough for the both of you to stand your grounds?

        There will be limitless questions as to how can you be sure that this long distance relationship will work. But at the end of the day, it is not for us to judge or doubt your relationship. It is up to you and your partner to prove-not to us but to yourselves that you can overcome this challenge. It is up to you to utilize the foundations you built in this relationship. Love will always be there, but trust-is another matter. You shouldn’t take for granted the trust that your partner has given you. If you yourself confused or in a crisis of breaking your partner’s trust, ask yourself : “Is it worth it?”. Four simple words that will determine the future of your relationship. Are you willing to make this mistake that will scar your relationship for life?

        As I’ve said before, it is up to the both of you to make this long distance relationship work. Only the two of you can do that. Love, each other as if they’ll be your last, trust each other as if your lives are on the line and have faith that God will help you get through times and always thank Him for the good times.
