Long distance relationships have their ups and downs, just like a regular relationship has. However, when it comes to the bottom line, are they really worth it? Yes, they are 100% worth it when true love is involved. If two peoples" love is so strong, no distance should be able to come in their way. I recently experienced a long distance relationship and I learned that the distance makes the relationship more unique and special than the ones that most people would think of. I met this guy through my cousin, who I found interest in. However, there was only problem; 3,000 miles were in between us. He lived in California and I lived in New Jersey. Although we went through a lot of hardships and difficulties, it was worth it at the end. .
Though we didn't see each other much, sometimes I think that's better; it made the time we spent together extra special. It is very difficult to love someone so much and at the same time acknowledge the fact that it isn't possible to physically have them present. While it might not seem that way, these relationships are very special. Since the individuals aren't always together, compassion and affection can't be shown at all times. However, the love between the couple is understood and it is always there. With me, no matter how long I don't see him, that wont stop me from loving him. It will make my love even stronger. .
Long distance relationships have more trust than regular ones. There must be a great amount of trust between the two. This will really hold the relationship together. Unlike ordinary relationships, not only must there be trust between the two, but also within one's self. In a standard relationship, trust within one's self is not as great because it is not as needed. However, in a long distance relationship, when the couple can't always be together and it isn't known what the other is doing at all times, one must trust and believe in themselves not to cheat or do anything wrong.
