The Problem Of Long Distance Relationship

The least they can do is try to continue their relationship with long distance. It has been reported that, “75% of college students at some point have been in a long distance relationship,” (Penn State Behrend: “Long Distance Relationships” 1). In addition, “25% to 50% of college students are in a long distance relationship at any given time” (Penn State Behrend: “Long Distance Relationships” 1). Couples that identify with the idea that there is no hurt in trying, find that it might not be so bad after all. Although abruptly severing ties is not the appropriate response to a grand separation to come, leaving one another with the idea that both parties are on the exact same page is not a wise path to take either. A couple does not just simply come to an unspoken consensus about what is expected of each other. It is important for them to sit down and “engage in open and honest communication about the separation and discuss what each wants from the relationship” (Penn State Behrend: “Long Distance Relationships” 1). At the end of the day, miles are temporary, yet relationships don't have to be.

Relationships are quite eccentric and interesting because relationships are full of ups, downs, twists and turns like roller coasters. Every little thing in a teen's life can affect as well as change the outcome of a relationship, making it either good or bad. The relationships teens have with other teens as well as other people of different age groups will always be with them and so it is important to have good relationships with everyone. It is important to be in a healthy relationship, meaning that the 2 people in the relationship are honest, trustworthy and respect one another. In April 2014, more than 4,900 teens were surveyed by Stageoflife.com, and it is said that 94% of teens believe in true love. This means that a lot of teens spend

My sister Mary, was in a serious relationship in high school. After graduation she went to UW-Oshkosh, where her and her significant other decided they were better off being friends. She wanted to just be friends because she knew that it was college and she didn’t want anything bad to happen while they were in a relationship. They were still kind of talking to each other like they were in a relationship until one day he decided to cheat on her. She was so hurt because they have been dating for about six to seven years, it took her a while to get over it and eventually she did. As time went on they grew further and further apart. After graduating with her bachelors from UW-Oshkosh, she decided that she wanted to join the navy. While being in

Two clichés: Absence makes the heart grow fonder and Out of sight, out of mind. Which one of these two conflicting views is closer to the reality? As it turns out, it does not really matter that much since long distance relationships (LDR) suffer from exactly the same strengths and weaknesses as proximal relationships. Whether two people are going to have fulfilling relationship does not only depend on their geographical closeness. What matters is quality, not quantity. According to one expert on LDRs, "the majority of studies that have been done show no greater risk of an LDR breaking up than any other relationship (Guldner, 2004, p. 6)." An LDR relationship has the same likelihood of

This is hard to do when there is homework and studying and if the student wants to go out with friends. The next pressure is college relationships. When first arriving at college it can be nerve racking to some but meeting new people is a good thing. It depends on the person with making new people. Some they hit it off right away with people because they are good at making friends. Others it takes a while, might feel excluded from their roommates and be homesick. With that some college students might have a romantic relationship going into college and that will become stressful also. There are many breakups during the beginning of freshman year in college. Many students break up within the first couple months of going to college. Distance, new people and atmosphere change all play a role in this. With that, some people meet new romantic partners and it is stressful going out on dates with new people. In the Odyssey it said that with relationships there is an increase of hurt feelings and excessive worrying and heartache. That adds more stress to the

Having a boyfriend that lives an hour away would not be a big deal to some people, but I am taking eighteen credits and Theo is taking fourteen credits. While taking fourteen credits, Theo is also working between forty to fifty hours a week so that he can pay for his college. Many of the statistics that I 've read have stated “learning to communicate in a distance milieu, interpreting the tone of their boyfriend 's voice, compensating for their lack of contexts, working harder at communication, and committing themselves to the extra efforts

Our society is like the wind, constantly changing. But, if you were given the chance to change one thing about our current society, what would it be? I myself would change the secrecy the federal government employs. Why keep the US populace in the dark about certain matters? What if something dangerous was made by the government? Wouldn't you like to know if something is threatening your lives, or would you prefer not to know? What about affairs overseas? Relationships with other nations (the real relationships)? Wouldn't you as an American citizen feel the need to know this?

People tend to make horrible decisions when they are in need of something or make foolish excuses because they are not comfortable with themselves, which happen to be jealousy. The most common impression of jealousy is negative because it can be very complex emotion that differs in many ways. Mostly jealousy occurs between relationships that contain lots of love. Honesty is most responsible for the destruction of relationships because honesty can reveal how person can be trustworthy. If one lies to a partner, it can seem to be that the person is showing jealousy.

When I decided to travel 232 miles to Duke University, I was incredibly worried about the upcoming change in my life: moving out of my home and onto a school campus. My family has been in Woodruff, SC for sixteen generations, and it becomes intimidating to leave the small town that we call ours. One of many things that makes me excited to have a chance to attend Duke is that freshman live together at a separate location. I am confident that residing with my cohorts exclusively will allow me to develop nearly familial relationships with other Duke students, much like I have in my class of 178 at Woodruff High. I value not only the education that DU offers, but also the opportunity it gives concerning my relationship with other students and

Parents should be informed about what your child is doing at all times with their significant other so they can be safe outside of school. In the article, “Teen Dating Guidelines” Ken clark, Chenal family Therapy director says, “I also think parents should work hard to disincentivize the long-term, high school relationship. A lot of us...myself included, had a 2-3 year relationship in high school. That’s where hearts get broken in a very different way”. I think long-term relationships should be encouraged in high school. Yes, heartbreaks happen, but it also happens outside of high school. It may hurt more with different people, but that how teenagers learn. At one point, they wipe of their tears and learn that it is not the end of the world and move on with their lives. Long-term relationships help teenagers grow up and accept that life is much more than finding love and trying to get

MTV broadcasts a TV show every year called “The Real World.” This TV show casts random men and women of different ethnicities from various parts of the country. These people are placed into the same house where they are expected to live together temporarily. These men and women usually have left behind a boyfriend or girlfriend, and we can see on the show how they try to make the long- distance relationship work for a short period of time. They make many phone calls to their significant other, and it is clear that they begin to struggle to keep their relationship going, but eventually these couples break up. I believe the proximity effect can be applied to the failure of the long-distance relationships. These people not only leave their boyfriend

The first year of college comes with many changes and challenges. These changes can include the food in the cafeteria, study habits, time management skills, and much more. Every student has to find their own way to handle the first year and determine what works best for them. For many the most essential change is living away from home. Campus life provides opportunities to become a part of a unique, diversified community. With these opportunities come challenges, such as having a roommate, being away from one’s parents, and determining self-limits.

5. Many relationships are started (and ended) throughout college years. Those who are in relationships have to deal with the stresses of arguments, seeing someone too much, seeing someone not enough and those pesky long-distance relationships.

For my experience, I have entered a long distance relationship for over 2 years. I lived in Hong Kong and my boyfriend studies in Canada.

It is not something we just give away or created by feelings or emotions. Trust is something which we need to earn. To keep the relationships, we must be a trusted person. We meet with people in everyday life, but our friends and loved ones are special. We can love any people we meet in our daily life but the relationships want trust. Trust, so that we can share our secret, happiness, sorrows. To give our hundred percent in any relationship, we need the believe that they feel the same for us. In any situation, if we fall down, they will come to save us, this is called trust. Most of the time, family members are the most trusted person in our life. Also, friends and lover earned the trust from us by staying with us, by telling us the truth. Sometimes, lovers lie in the beginning of a new life, they hide things to save relationship, but it is not the way to keep a relationship. Truth can never be hidden, it will come up and we won’t be able to handle the outcome if we broke the trust they had. We should be as trust strengthen a relationship, also there can’t be a relationship without
