At first we were only a few hours away, but our relationship was in a real bad place because we round it hard to find time to talk to one another. I was doing a summer internship that kept me busy 24/7, and he was recently graduated working 9 to 5 in Houston.

Although the time different is not far different and communication device is not a problem, deterioration still appears in our relationship. Habits and dating style changed create insecure feelings that raise negative perception of relationship. Fighting and grumpy feelings most likely occur when we are having a bad mood while ego controls the logic. These

This challenge in a relationship could lead to poor communication and a lack of effort. Recently, I have stepped out of a four-year relationship because I had finally come to realize how much I was being taken for granted and not appreciated. I was always the one to make plans or start the conversation or show the affection that kept the relationship for granted. After I decided to end the relationship my significant other began to realize what he had lost. He frequently made comments on how people do not realize what they have until it is gone and I found this to be very true in his case. Although what he was saying
