5 Potential Reasons Why Your Long Distance Relationship Isn’t Working
Posted on May 31st, 2011 by Renaldo Smith
When you first moved to Oshkosh, WI, you had high hopes that your relationship would survive. Sure, your other half lives hundreds of miles away, but there isn’t any distance that real love can’t overcome, right? Well, so you thought at least. If things are beginning to fall apart mere months after your relocation, MovingCost.com is here to help you make sense of it all. Here are 5 reasons that might explain why your long distance relationship is in the intensive care unit.
1. Lack of communication: Prior to moving, you promised each other that you would talk each and every day, no matter how hectic or difficult it got. In the age of social media sites and mobile webcam applications, living up to this shouldn’t be difficult. While we are not saying you should stay on the phone for hours at a time, a few text messages per day should be mandatory.
2. Too much communication: Did you believe her when she said the guy you heard in the background was one of her house movers? Or maybe she didn’t believe you when you said the girl commenting on your Facebook Wall was an old friend. If you think not talking enough can be detrimental, constant calls and emails can be even worse. When you feel the need to constantly call someone to check up on them, it makes you look insecure. If trust can be a major issue for couples who live together, long distance relationships take it to a whole new level.
3. Outside sources: For a long distance relationship to prosper, the two people involved have to be close enough to shake off rumors. Your friends from back home will probably tell you that they have seen or heard certain things that will upset you. Remember that things aren’t always what they seem to be. Give your other half the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions.
4. 
Nothing to look forward to: When you’re in a long distance relationship, having set plans to see each other is a must. That little mark on the calendar can be enough to make you hold on to hope and get through your lonely days. If you’re not flying back home in the coming months and your lover doesn’t plan to visit you in Oshkosh soon, then you are mere pen pals. Analyze your schedule and make something happen!
5. You want to be single: People often hold onto relationships because its much easier than starting all over. But if you get to a point where you want to explore the dating scene in Oshkosh and let go of the worry and arguments, be honest. A lot of long distance relationships hit road bumps because people lack the courage to say they want to move on.
