i was with my ex for 2 years. im aussie and he was american, so the distance was huge, but we made it work. we talked constantly, and even when we were out with friends wed still call for a bit or text throughout the day. near the end of the relationship, he suddenly disappeared for days, then almost a week. i kept reaching out and got nothing back. when he responded, he said he was "detoxing" and needed time away from his phone. turns out he was actually on a trip with another girl. she found out about me because i was texting and calling him, and she ended up telling him to text me n tell me to bugger off. thats when he admitted he had been cheating. looking back, the thought crossed my mind once or twice, but he always had an explanation for everything, so i convinced myself i was overreacting. niw im in a new relationship. i swore id never do long distance again, but we're still technically long distance, just in different aussie states. the difference is communication. he texts me throughout the day, calls me every day, tells me his plans, and reassures me without me even having to ask. it took me a while to get here, but ive learned that distance was never the problem. the problem is when someone stops communicating, stops respecting the relationship, and leaves you wondering where you stand. distance doesnt make relationships fail, people do.
