26 Tweets That Sum Up What It's Like To Be In A Long-Distance Relationship
What do you do when your best friend is halfway across the universe?
Being in a relationship takes work—even more so if your union is long-distance. Being apart can make the normal woes of dating (disagreements, miscommunication, etc.) more difficult because you can't necessarily settle your disagreements the same way you'd do in person.
You also don't get the luxury of seeing your significant other as often as a person in a normal relationship would. Each time you plan to meet, anxiety builds up. What if the spark is only over texts and calls and not in person? What if they've secretly been seeing someone else and didn't know how to tell you over the phone? It takes strong communication, patience, and trust to make this type of relationship last.
Although it can be tough, there is a sense of satisfaction that comes with knowing you've given something your all and are strong enough to fight to make something work. These tweets explain just how much of an emotional rollercoaster long-distance relationships truly are.
