7 Reasons Why Long Distance Relationships Don't Work!

This is the trickiest part about being in a long distance relationship. It is not always to resist temptations especially when you are so far away from your partner. For the sake of love, you might resist, but with time you will find yourself going out on dates, meeting new people and actually enjoying it.  Not many can resist, several of them fall prey to temptations. By temptations we aren’t just talking about hot chicks or handsome guys, it can also come in the form of a new lifestyle, new friends or anything else.

3. Jealousy steps in:

If your partner is in a different country and suddenly texts you saying he is out for dinner with a chick he recently met at his work place. How secured will you are or how insecure will you feel? You might have been a rock solid couple for years but whenever in a long distance relationship, it is only natural for jealousy to creep in. Most of the times it is also because you don’t really know the people your partner are hanging out with. Some couples surpass this phase of jealousy, while others just end the relation because they can no longer take the pressure.

4. Financial issues:

Long distance relationships are strictly restricted to virtual talks; phone calls, text messages, Skype calls and several other apps.  This can’t go on for long though. To sit face to face and talk while holding hands is nothing like it. After a point of time one of you will have to book a flight ticket to meet. This can be quite taxing when it happens for years together. How often can one afford to fly down to meet his/her love? It can be financially tiring and draining.

5. Communication is a problem:

In a long distance relationship, communication is the main problem. If you two share a massive time zone difference, then the problem is even bigger.  You cannot always talk to your partner. The communication gap also leads to misunderstandings because when you do talk, you will end up quarreling over the silliest things.

6. Chances of boredom setting in are high:

Lack of communication also means boredom. You no longer feel enthusiastic to share your daily routine or share pictures. It starts getting monotonous and you start feeling bored to even talk because you don’t know what to talk. You hate waiting for your partner to come online to share your pictures. There is no hugging or even sex and every time you want to ask your partner for some onion, you have to wait till he/she is free. All these are common traits of a long distance relationship and it does harm to your relation. This is one of the many reasons why long distant relations never work.

7. Trust level just comes down:

Now you may have surpassed and overcome all the above points that we mentioned; but how far can trust go? It is only a matter of time till you start trusting a lot lesser than you usually did.  If your partner who is away socializes a lot or has several friends, your trust for him/her will weaken. You will always be suspicious and will want to at all time who your partner is with and where is your partner. This will only weaken your relationship and in the long run, this suspicious attitude will create bigger problems.

If you are in a long distant relationship or are planning to be one, consider these points. We are not completely striking off long distant relationships, if you know how to tackle it, things will be good. But more often than not, such relations will only fail.
