Why Some People Prefer A Long Distance Love Affair?

Believe it or not, but long distance love affair is very common these days. Not because the modern technology can makes it possible, but maybe because a lot of people believe that in love, distance is not a big deal. 

This type of relationship is not new to all of us. This isn’t something that’s just introduced lately, this existed some years back. I know some ended up with the typical “happily ever after” scenario. You know, like those on fairy tale stuff where despite the distance between the two people, but in the end the prince will appear to rescue his princess. And then hurray! They live happily ever after! However, there are also some that didn’t last and didn’t work out well, so they ended up with their own fairy tell tale “happily never after”. 

Regardless of how the relationship ended doesn’t really matter. Question is why are there couples that prefer a long distance relationship? Is it because it is less complicated and stressful compared to the normal and usual relationship? Or was it because these individuals feel comfortable with such relationship type compared to the typical one?

There actually are a number of reasons why some of the people will prefer this kind of relationship. I know someone who had the longest relationship that I ever knew. They look good and perfect together. They look like they had each other since forever! Until suddenly one day, I just heard they broke up. Distance wasn’t the issue, not even schedules. They see each other regularly. But what went wrong? After several years from their break up, I’ve heard that this person is having a relationship with someone across the mile, across the continent. Out of curiosity, I asked her the reason why she chose someone from a distant land. She said, to her a relationship is not about seeing each other and talking often. It is not about hearing those sweet words of promises and sharing plans about the future. It isn’t about how long you’ve known the person. Not about race, age, profession and possession. It is all about trust, respect, sincerity, honesty and responsibility. She didn’t tell me though the reasons for her break up with her guy whom she had the longest relationship with. However, it seems like what she really want to tell me was that a relationship is useless without trust, and trust is nonsense if a person to whom you grant it to is deceitful. 

Relationship is not about togetherness. It isn’t about distances either. It also is not about color and race. A relationship is about devotion and responsibility of a person to his or her partner.
