There's an old saying that goes, "Long distance relationships never work". (Actually - I think the phrase actually features on the TV show How I Met Your Mother, but the idea is still valid!)
There's no doubting that distance DOES put extra strain on a relationship, so here are some challenges you'll need to consider if you're separated from your partner by miles of physical distance:
Trust - is the biggest issue. Do you trust him or her not to go behind your back? Even if you trust your partner, you may worry about the people they hang out with - or whether anyone will try to snatch them from you.
Physical intimacy - Sex is a big part of most adult relationships, and lack of regular sex will test even the strongest relationship.
No matter how good someone's intentions are, they can still be caught off-guard by their hormones and primal instincts!
Having someone around - Relationships are all about sharing your life with someone else. No matter how much you love each other, long-distance relationships can only ever be a temporary solution.
It's natural to want to have someone to share your life with, and continuing things at a distance will only ever work if there's a concrete goal to work towards - the promise that you'll someday live together.
If that doesn't exist, then you might as well bite the bullet and call it a day.
