You will not find reasons for avoiding a long distance relationship in this article. You should know that long distance relationships can work and often do work. You just have to put in the time and effort for a successful outcome, and the benefits can be brilliant. Below I will describe the main reasons why a long distance relationship doesn't work.
Lack of Communication
Some people have no knowledge of what it means to be in a committed long distance relationship. Many feel that it's the opportunity to be free from the chains of their lover for a short time. While others think it's an absolute catastrophe. You both will need to be aware that this might be more demanding than you think. But don't be disheartened. As I said earlier, the results can be amazing.
Different Expectations
Distance relationships go wrong because of a substantial lack of plans for the future. You should be clear about where the relationship is heading prior to the departure, as it could save you both a great deal of grief down the line.
Little Long Term Plans
The biggest reason why a lot of relationships start to go wrong, not to mention those involving long distance, is because couples have simply no plans for the long term. Prior to the departure, be sure that you know where the relationship is headed. This will likely save a lot of heartache along the line when you find that you don't want to be married, when they tell you that they do.
Large Travel Expenses
Trust has a significant part in any relationship, but more so than ever for a distance relationship. Many have a false presumption that they could get up to anything they want when their loved one isn't around. We highly advise against this belief. Participation in trust activities and asking relationship developing questions to get to know each other better will definitely help to develop a stable foundation of trust.
Not Enough Trust
If you're fortunate enough to be living in the same country, or the same state, as your sweetheart then you might only have to buy a train or bus ticket to meet them. But if your relationship is international, you must take into account the airfare that you will need to pay each time you meet up with your loved one.
