Will this distance bring us closer?

[Panda87]

Today she went back to her hometown, we spend good times together. Went for camping, suprisingly enjoy it alot. I miss her alots now, i just hope this distance will actually bring us closer and closer. I tried my best to make her happy, because she deserve to be happy. I love her too deep now, i dont want to lose her because of this distance. I really hope everything goes well, and we can actually be together without saying goodbye everytime i send her to airport. The worst feeling ever.

 

I know nothing last forever, but i want this relationship to last as long as it could. Because she is my soulmate, she is someone that i can be 100% myself and yet she still love me. Im not in my best figure also not necessarily have the best personality, so could never imagine someone can love me as much as she loves me. I dont want to screw this relationship, i want her and i want us.

I don't think the distance brings anyone closer, it tears many people apart.

In my opinion, yes, distance can make couples closer. You form stronger bonds than those in normal relationships.

 

Of course long distance relationships can be difficult to handle sometimes, you're separated, missing each other, can't be in each other's arms, etc; however, being apart has its benefits.

 

You yearn for that other person, you can't wait to see your significant other again, it forces you to be patient, you also have to communicate more often (communication is VERY important), you disclose more about yourself during these conversations - you become more intimate and open, you become creative (write letters, send packages, souvenirs, etc) and there is the trust factor, if you can trust your partner while they're away then that says a lot. You also get this sense of appreciation for each other and you also have independence since you're not always around one another.

 

I can imagine that getting tedious if there is no end in sight (meaning you two do not know when or if ever there will be an end to the long distance). But overall, long distance has its pros and cons.
