Ok, maybe. But what if, this is just hypothetical, you meet the guy of your dreams and he’s everything you ever wanted,* but he’s going to be gone for 60% of the for the forseeable future. Also, he will be tired and spent for 50% of the time he is around, and apologetic and…

Yes, it’s true that at times, going the distance seems impossibly worthless. But if the relationship is really something good, something that makes you feel amazing and loved, why push it away because the math just doesn’t add up? Love is not about figures and balance sheets. It’s not a chemical equation that needs balancing on both sides. Relationships are not meant to be perfectly fair for both parties 100% of the time.

But, if you honestly feel, as the quote says, that it’s tedious, painful and not worth your time, then it probably isn’t.

Stop evaluating everything, calculating every detail and waiting for the moment where it all goes downhill. Stop looking for perfection and searching for something better, because, as cliche as it sounds, you might just lose what is actually perfect.

As my mom says, why do you need to spend every day with someone to know that you love them? Shouldn’t love still exist and survive beyond distance? If distance is the problem, then how do many more couples split, even after living together for years?

In my opinion, a little space gives a couple time to breathe, time to be individuals, not just half of a whole. Without that space, your partner’s little quirks, like leaving the cap off of the toothpaste, may eventually spark the fuel that extinguishes your relationship. 

If you’re truly with someone you love, trust that even with distance and time, the love will still remain.
