Long distance relationships of our students. Advices, real life stories.

 

Hi there again!

The topic for this issue is very social and i guess a lot of students can relate to it. We all know that it is hard being in a relationship, but can you imagine how hard it might be to be in a long distance relationship? Our students are a living example of the struggle that someone goes through while living this kind of relationship. I am not going to mention names because for some of them is hard enough to only talk about it.

Let’s start this article with a positive ldr that is still going strong. This boy states that he started his relationship while he was on vacation after his first year of studies and that the girl knew perfectly from the beginning that this relationship would be difficult because of the distance. They talk with each other on Whatsapp all the time and they also visit each other occasionally. They skype each other and at the same time they watch movies while skyping. Whenever one of them stops the movie the other does that as well. They also get to comment the movie together. According to me this is a perfect idea, too bad that my boyfriend is not into movies that much.LOL. Anyway this boys advice: be creative, stay for what you believe in and most importantly: have trust in your future, because without it whatever you do nothing will work in a long shot.

One girl explains: We had been in a relationship for a year and a half and we both used to visit each other at least once a month. She says that she had been feeling very distant from her boyfriend at least four months before they broke up. They used to chat with each other through social media 24/7 and also talking in video calls sometimes up to 10 hours nonstop. The last period of time they were together they spent five months without seeing each other. She claims that after she came back to her country the boy was used to living his life without her in it so she kind of did not have a place in his life anymore.  Her advice: try to talk on the phone at least once a day even if it is only for a few minutes and also sometimes sending post cards so your partner knows that you are thinking of her/him.

While according to this girl that has successful LDR some things are different. She states: My personal experience on LDR is kind of medium, not that good but not that bad either. We constantly facetime and share every moment of the day with each other. The most important thing is that we try not to hold each other back and trust each other, but if you think that trust is everything then you’re wrong. When you’re away for 8 months and see the other person twice a year it gets tiring. Even though I am continuing it myself, I would not recommend it to anyone because it’s harder than it seems.

And while all these people have their different opinions I would say that my LDR keeps going strong and yes TRUST is one of the main things you need to have if. Anyway I wish all of you student’s good luck with LDR because I know how much sacrifices it takes to make it work. Bye until next time!
