A long-distance relationship is a romantic relationship where it is difficult to be physically close and spend time with your partner.

Long-distance relationships are more complicated than those in close proximity. They require much more effort and dedication and often require an incredible amount of commitment, communication and sacrifice to maintain.

Main reasons why long-distance relationships fail:

Lack of communication

Lack of communication leads to assumptions, misunderstandings and conflicts. It is one of the main reasons long-distance relationships fail. Sometimes we are afraid of getting clear because clarity means facing the truth.

But rather than avoiding tough conversations you should try to discuss the problem and resolve it before it leads to a more significant issue.

Lack of physical intimacy

Lack of physical intimacy makes it hard to make your long-distance relationship work. In a relationship, the hardest thing is to be away from your partner.

How to Fix Problems With Physical Intimacy

• Visit each other more frequently
• Make trips together
• Plan fun holidays
  

Catching up virtually can be frustrating

This is one of the most common long-distance relationship problems. These sorts of “dry phases” are normal in long-distance relationships, it makes the relationship a little frustrating.

Try to sit in silence with your partner, scroll through your memes feed, cook food on video calls & share pics, and play video games together. Do things by which you both feel comforted and happy.
