| Publisher Description: "Everything would have been fine if we lived in the same town/state/country," is the common reason many men and women give for a long distance relationship not working out.Admitted, distance can put an enormous strain on a relationship, but claiming that "distance" is the only reason a relationship didn't work out or can not work is putting your hands over your ears and shouting, "la-la-la-la-la-la- land" because the truth is too much to handle.I've met many men and women who won't even try long distance relationships because according to them "Long distance relationships just don't work".That simply isn't true! Long distance relationships CAN and DO work if the two individuals involved want it to.I get it. I've been there. Long distance relationships suck. There's no way around it. In all of my years I've never met someone who has said, "Yeah, my boyfriend lives 14 hours away in Finland, it's great!" On the contrary, everyone I've met in a long distance relationship can relate to the slow agonizing feeling that takes place over months or even years - that feeling that your heart is slowly being carved out of your chest by a butter knife and replaced with Skype calls and open chat windows.All three of my significant relationships have involved long distance in some way. As a young woman who was terrified of any sort of commitment whatsoever, I found that I could only allow myself to fall for a man if he was at least 500 miles away.The first one, we both genuinely tried to make it work, but things fell apart spectacularly. The second one, we both agreed that our lives were taking us to different parts of the world and we were probably better off letting it go, we then struggled to, you know, actually let go over the next year. The third, because we had both done this before, we immediately made plans to end the distance as soon as possible (six months) and then made the appropriate sacrifices to do so.So I guess what I'm saying is, I've seen both sides of the long distance relationship coin. I've seen them implode and I've seen them fizzle out. I've seen them be worth the pain and loneliness but also reach the moment of needing to let go.When it comes to surviving the distance, here's what I've learned is most important and am ready to guide you through. |
