A lot of people ask how hard a LDR relationship is, and I think this is by far the best way I’ve ever heard it put. Submitted by fieldsofinnocence.
[image description: Screenshot of question and answer. “What’s the hardest part about being in an LDR? I mean, is it worth it?” “The hardest part about being in an LDR? Being in an LDR. Everything is hard. It’s nothing like a ‘normal’ relationship. Your life will revolve around your computer and your phone. Your holidays consist of opening presents on webcam. Falling asleep together means falling asleep listening to silence on the other end of the phone. Watching a movie together means being on webcam and trying to start the same movie at the same time. It gets lonely and hard and if you don’t trust each other that’s not as easily fixed as it would be in a relationship where you can talk face to face with the person. You HAVE to trust each other because you won’t know what the other is doing when they aren’t on webcam or on the phone with you. It’s hard when you have to go offline to live in the real world, and even harder when that time spent away from each other isn’t even enjoyed because then it just feels wasted. When one is having a hard night, the only form of comfort the other can give you is to repeat the same things over and over. ‘I love you.’ ‘I’m here for you.’ ‘I promise we’ll get through this.’ And sometimes words just aren’t enough. A lot of people will think you’re crazy for being in love with someone that lives inside of your computer screen. A lot of people will tell you it won’t last. You yourself will struggle every single day because it’s a full time job to keep a LDR working. But is it worth it? Without a doubt. That moment when you first meet in person. The first time you hug each other. The first time you hold hands. The first time you kiss. Your first in-person date. Your first movie together. Your first holiday together. Your first walk together. Your first car ride together. Your first laugh together. And all the seconds. And thirds… Being in a LDR is more than worth it because rather than learning to trust a person based on what you can witness, you learn to trust them because they’re honest. You learn to love them for who they are, not for what the sex is like (even though that part is fun too, regardless of having long waits without it haha). You learn to communicate because in a LDR communication is all you have, when in ‘normal’ relationships I guarantee you’ll find that they don’t communicate at all. It’s worth it because all of your hard work makes it something beautiful that the two of you made together. An LDR is like… your first child. It’s made from intense love that no one else will understand and you have to learn how to make it grow… And then you work together to make it grow… And you watch your relationship blossom into a beautiful kind of love that no ‘normal’ relationship will really reach, because it’s built entirely on trust, faith, and hope. There’s nothing more worth the tears, the loneliness, and the ‘I miss you’s than an LDR. Nothing. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqs0o2XnLs1qmiajao1_500.jpg)
