Every couple going through long distance relationship will try to convince you that their long distance relationship (LDR) is valid. We're a legit relationship. We're real! I've had many conversations with friends and family that we are real. We try to see the good in our long distance relationship that we tend to overlook the things we don't like or hate. Don was here recently to visit me after 5 months apart. We had a wonderful time together! The both of us spending this time together here in Malaysia, my hometown brought our relationship, a step closer to where want to be = being together (forevaaahhhh) in the same place. I was so used to looking forward to his visit the past 5 months. Then being with him 24/7 for a few weeks. It's now back to long distance again. It effing sucks.
I am going through the "I hate this stupid distance" phrase and below are the 4 things I really hate about long distance relationship after a visit.
01 Spending Family and Friends Time During Kay & Don Time.
There is nothing more that I want, than for us to get to know each other's family. Maybe it was our (bad) timing, but we often have to share our first or last day/night together with family or friends. I know it's crucial that we get as much family and friends time when we are together, so they can have their own personal view of us. I guess spending time with them during our time together can show we're really serious about one another. We want the spend time together too... :(
02 No hugs and kisses
My love language is physical touch. From having cuddles and kisses on my hands to none is really hard for me. I would often go home and cuddle with my cats until they can't stand me and move on to my pillow or my koala bear stuffed toy wrapped in Don's t-shirt drenched in his perfume. Totally recommending you to find out your love language.
03 Missing out on daily interaction
We're both different people when we are on Facetime and when we are together. I know him so well through Facetime that I am craving for more real-time interactions. When he was here, I got to learn a few things about Don that I wouldn't be able to pick up on Facetime.
04 Saying goodbye at airports
I hate saying goodbye to him. I hate the whole thing. Driving to the airport. Sending him off. Driving back (while trying not to cry). To think that after saying goodbye at the airports a few times under our belt, it would get easier? IT DOES NOT. In fact, it gets harder.
These are just a few things I hate about long distance relationship after a visit. I have so much more things I hate about long distance relationship, but I'll have another post for that. Even though, being in a long distance relationship sucks big time, I am incredibly grateful that we get to spend time together. But this distance needs to close asap!
