True Story from my sister's experience
Hello everyone! I am up again for another blog. This is the third blog I have so far. The first blog I wrote was about the sad things about being in a long-distance relationship, and the second one covered the good parts of that kind of relationship. So, in this third blog that I will be making, I’ll be talking about how to maintain a long-distance relationship.
As we all know, being away from the person you love is not easy. Maintaining good communication with your partner is vital to the success of the relationship. I made a research on the importance of communication and I found this:
Failing to communicate in a long distance relationship can bring about dire consequences. It can make both partners feel distant from one another and can breed distrust in the relationship. As we know, trust and having the ability to feel close to your partner while far apart is a crucial element to having a successful long distance relationship. So, the fact of the matter is, when communication fails your relationship fails and this is why communication should be top priority in your LDR. Personally, me and my boyfriend really like to be connected with each other all the time. We love having the calls active even if we don't talk at times (though sometimes the lack of talking can be a source of frustration). At the end of the day however, it is understandable that “life happens” and talking simply isn’t possible.
Just the thought of us being together in that special way absolutely means the world to us, and it doesn’t stop there! Thanks to modern communications technology and services, we have the means to call each other back and forth without requiring the budget of someone who just won the lottery. We don’t have to worry about paying for calling cards, prepaid minutes or other things of that nature.
Most of the people we know, and we're referring to our parents and friends, are really left scratching their heads wondering how we did it. Questions like, "How is the magic done?" and "How have they brought their two worlds together?" are constantly running through their minds.
For over a year, we have managed to keep our sworn adversary known as “distance” at bay by staying in contact continuously. By creating that bridge, the feeling of distance is taken away and we can have a relationship that is just as strong, if not even stronger in comparison to the more conventional relationships that we see around us.
Taking an active role in each other’s lives will be a constant reminder that someone is there, and that we aren’t simply “settling” for a relationship. In short, we don’t feel cheated or deprived, ever. Are you feeling lonely? Are you missing your partner who is so far away they might as well be on another planet? Video calling is your best friend!
So what do we do? Are you ready to know our secret? Here it is! It took several weeks of research after we had first gotten together. We had a project on our hands. We knew our relationship wouldn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hell because of the distance. That was unacceptable. We strived to build something that lasts. So we started off with a 3rd party app that allows for calling and messaging.
Now the phones that serve as the physical bridge of our relationship, they’re good in terms of quality and reliability, but they are somewhat limited in terms of application support in regards to communication.
We found a prepaid cell phone promo in the Philippines that allowed for unlimited use of this particular app for calling and messaging, but there was a catch. We quickly found out that this so-called “unlimited” access to the app referred to the messaging part of the app, and not the calling part. It wasn’t good enough. We had to do some more digging. We found another Filipino cell phone provider that allowed for unlimited data usage, but there was a problem. The network was unstable in my region.
Things were looking grim. Would we be able to succeed in our mission? Or did we set the bar too high for ourselves with unrealistic expectations?
