Long Distance Relationship Can Be Either Good Or Bad

Long distance relationship is one of the trending topics of all times in the relationship talk. It is so much talked about since there are lots of things to understand, handle, deal with and overcome. It is really a challenge.

Apart from thinking of stuff to deal with in a long distance relationship, there are lots of things to talk about just for fun and also lots of things to learn from.

I should say that I have learned so much when I was in a long distance relationship, and there is also lot of fun if I recap those moments even today. One of the interesting things to talk about in a long distance relationship is the pros and cons of the it. Here are some:

Long Distance Relationship Pros

The Space

Yes, while you feel lonely, miss your partner and are overwhelmed with emotional bombardments, you can also simply enjoy the space you get in the relationship. Not to mention, this can not be guaranteed in a relationship without distance. This is a blessing, I would say.

You do not get into space related issues in a long distance relationship since space is granted by default. You have time of your own, you have your own decisions to make (at least the less significant ones that don?t meddle with your relationship) and you can cook for yourself and not be worried about the outcome .

Even though loneliness is an issue in a long distance relationship, it is also a blessing, because everyone needs some time alone.

You can be filthy

Yes you can be as dirty as you wish. You can leave your table messy, you can wash your dishes tomorrow, you can have your dinner with yesterday?s left over and you can get up as late as you can in the morning. There will be nobody to question you.

Even if your partner is not of a questioning type, you need not worry about his thoughts. As long as you keep the range of your area within the view of your web cam clean, you are fine.

Stronger bond at distance

Bonds grow stronger at a distance rather when close. When you miss somebody, you feel for them and your love for them increases. I am not saying that you don?t love the person who is near you, but in a long distance relationship, the distance itself helps to get you closer at heart.

Everything happening over there reminds you of your partner and since you are at a distance and you don?t have the chance to express much of your feelings the bond grows stronger.

Save some money

Of course! While you guys are not together you spend lesser on shopping together, dating, eating out, travel and so on. For some who are away for work and who tend to come back and get committed soon the responsibility to save money comes in.

You have in mind that you are going to become a family soon or at least you are going back to your place to live with your partner and hence you make yourself financially strong. You tend to cut down a lot of expenses.

Long Distance Relationship Cons

Spend more money

Well this might happen if you can?t overcome the urge to see your partner. You might decide to travel to and fro and make frequent trips to your partner?s place. In addition you may also overspend on your mobile bills.

Long distance relationship can be unhealthy

Having said that, you always hold a cell phone over your ear which is very very unhealthy. Your ears get heated up. If you prefer to go on an online chat then you put a headphone over your ear. Even if you decide to use your computer?s inbuilt speakers and microphone, you still have to sit at one place for a long time.

All these, I guess, are unhealthy. Apart from these there are lots of emotional stress in a long distance relationship that makes one unhealthy.

Minus intimacy

It is normal to feel that you are quite far from your partner (indeed you are!) both physically and mentally. Your emotional needs are poorly met. You also miss the intimacy between you and your partner which the online chats and phone calls can never give you.

That is not all. I have only given here a very few of the pros and cons. Do you know any?
