Long-Distance Relationships

People in long distance relationships are powerful. I won't lie and say that temptation is very hard to ignore. Not that I would ever do anything ever to damage my relationship but I couldn't make my long distance relationship last. I didn't use multiple forms of media with my girlfriend. Maybe it would have been better if I embraced other ideas other than just calling and texting. It was funny how mutual the break up was but wasn't at the same time. We both felt the relationship was difficult to manage even based on how we felt for one another. It was a struggle. We were not in each other lives as much as we used to be. We were physically around each other for a year so I can realize why we couldn't handle being together but being apart. I feel that people who do maintain these long distance relationships should do what they can to be in contact with their opposite. I'm developing into a person who uses social media less but in this case, I would embrace it to have something other than phone calls or messages on my phone to be as close as I can. Communication, I feel, is a key factor in relationships. Maintain constant contact is difficult but if you can be inventive and try different forms you made be a lot closer in your relationship then you ever were. It’s very hard for me to get into social media because I feel that my time is wasted but maybe they could be a great source in long-distance relationships.
