Even after you’ve married your one and only, the struggles don’t end. There’s going to be plenty of moments when you’ll feel like giving up but sticking around will be the right thing because, deep down, you know how much you love that little bugger. One of the hardest things is to have a spouse who isn’t there for you through it all because they’re overseas. Relationships are hard work and commitment as it is, but having to do all of it alone without the help of your spouse is a battleship on its own. Even their mere presence is motivating and reinforcing enough to keep holding on.
Here are 9 times when long distance got the best of you
1. The lonely nights
The day goes by like nobody’s business because handling a house on your own isnt the easiest task in the world. But then having to sleep alone in the night on a big bed, just sucks.
2. Attending parties alone
There’s a ton of weddings you have to attend but the worst part is, your partner in crime won’t be there with you. That’s just a bummer.
3. Going everywhere alone
It doesn’t stop at social gatherings. Even going out to get dhania and podina seem big because you have to do it all alone.
4. Your phone becomes everything to you
The only way you can see your beloved’s face is thru your mobile’s screen. App’s like Skype and features like WhatsApp Video call become your saving grace
5. The Internet HAS to be up and running at all times
If the internet stops working, that’s the worst thing that could happen to you because your entire life depends on it. (It’s a little dramatic but the pain is real)
6. Oh the timings
If it’ll be 2 PM for you, it will most probably be 2 AM for them. Finding that sweet spot where you both can talk easily will be difficult and in some cases, impossible
7. Sacrifices, Sacrifices
One person has to stay up all night to talk to the other. In a nutshell, one person ends up making way too many sacrifices
8. The physical aspect
You’re basically married to your phone now. There’s no hand-holding or cuddling. You lose a certain physical element to your relationship.
9. The horrendous fam jams
Family gatherings without your husband just seem like you’re standing in court and every one against you. It’s just not a natural feeling.
If you’re married and have spouse who’s away from you, tag him or her and tell them how much you miss them!
