7. Life Keeps Going On

A Long-distance relationship means that the partners live in different cities, regions or even countries. The reasons why they cannot move to live together vary. In some cases people might have a family member in bad health who needs their assistance and support. In other instances your beloved might have a great career in the place where he/she lives. Sometimes people have fantastic friends whom they do not want to leave. If your values and interests are different, do not be surprised to see that your long-distance relationship is about to collapse. Life can easily cause you to drift apart and the longer it takes, the more painful it will be for the person who is not strong enough to accept the reality. Analyze your situation and see how your environment as well as your partner’s lifestyle can affect your long-distance relationship.
