On-Long-Distance Relationships...

Have you been into this relationship? How would you handle this kind of situation?
constant communication.. as in araw araw, bawat nangyayari sayo dapat naka report..

Maybe a strong heart is needed for a relationsip to stay among the married ones or those who are deep into a relationship. But I guess kung GF pa lang, sometimes it's really hard because the very reason for the relatiosnhip is companionship. If you get married, it's raising a family. If you are building a relationship with distance as an initial barrier, I guess, it will not work for some reason, it really depends on how both of you will handle it. I believe that any good, long and lasting relationship should be based on a very strong foundation.. called friendship ALSO very important is TRUST!!!mahirap ang long distance relationship....kung wala kang tiwala sa partner dun na lalabas mga problem...selos, etc....simula na ng away then break up...

TRUST lang.. wala halong doubt.. and ever heard a condom named DOUBT? di ba wala.. lolz
trust.
long-distance relationships.
acid test yan,diyan mo makikita kung strong ba talaga yung relationship in the first place.
can you still trust each other kahit na hindi mo siya nakikita?
kaya mo bang pagkatiwalaan siyang ginagawa niya yung sinasabi niya?
trust nga.
you have to be confident in your partner.
when you committed yourself to her.. you also committed yourself to trust her.. right?
if you don't trust her una palang then why risk a relationship that you know will never work?

distance is just a factor, but trust far outweighs it.

you can be close (physically) to that person and still not trust her;
and vice-versa.


relationships need trust in order for them to thrive and get stronger.


and i'm not just talking about boy-girl relationships;
friendships, business partnerships, and even casual agreements need trust too in order for them to work.


you need trust at the grocery- that the cashier's giving you the right change.
you need trust in school- that you professor's actually teachin you somethin you NEED to know.
you need trust at home- that your spouse doesn't put poison in your meals.
you need trust at work- that your officemates are there to help you and not bring you down.


the way i see it, trust is like the dirt/soil in which you plant the seed of your relationship.

the dirt covers the seed- and though we really can't see what's going on under the ground, this layer of protection helps the seed grow without fear of it suddenly being snatched away by birds or being washed away by the rain.


similarly, a relationship that isn't built on trust won't last.

sure, the seed you plant CAN grow outside of the soil, but not for long-
and pretty soon you're gonna have a dead seed on you hands.

trust is a very crucial part of any relationship because its presence (or not) determines that relationship's growth.
then again, while being confident in the relationship IS ideal, of course we slip every once in a while.
i also acknowledge the fact that in some cases trusting another person is just being plain stupid.
however, what matters is:
can we keep trusting our partner?
and should the incident happen again and again,
are we willing to just let go and use our head next time?
siguro your best option would be to have a balance of both.
trust your partner,
but don't let that trust blind you.
kung wina-walang-hiya ka na, then i think that it's time to move on.
and if it's any consolation, at least if you're confident in the relationship you wouldn't have any qualms about it- and thus you won't be consistently bothered by any disloyal thoughts you have of your partner.
mas magiging masaya ka at maeenjoy mo yung relationship pag hindi mo iniisip yung mga problemang ganun diba?
