Good morning beautiful people of HiveGhana, this is your girl 
Are you one to be in a long-distance relationship or you’re totally against it? If you’re not, how do you manage to maintain such a relationship, and if you’re against it, why?

Long Distance Relationships can be very tough, especially for a lady, it requires a lot of patience, communication, and creativity to maintain the emotional bond and physical intimacy that couples nearby take for granted. But with the right mindset and strategies, you can not only survive but thrive in a long-distance relationship. They are romantic relationships between two people who are geographically separated from each other, often living in different cities, states, or even countries. This can make it difficult to maintain regular face-to-face interactions and requires extra effort to stay connected and maintain intimacy. Anytime I hear long distance even as my friend not even my lover, to be honest, I don't really think it can work. I prefer should see you every day make memories and do things couples do together, being in a long-distance relationship having your partner in another country or city for years not being able to communicate often, and having limited physical barriers is a no for me.
Many people actually love long-distance relationships maybe to be able to focus on what to do, they actually make it work. I remember there was a time when I wanted to emulate my friend's relationship, whereby her guy stays in London which is the outside country and she is here in Nigeria. All they did was do Call Time, FaceTime, and chat on WhatsApp after that day it might be the next day or after 2 to 3 days before they would talk to each other again. I tried it then with my new lover but I found out that what worked for my friend could never work out for me. Communication really matters in a relationship and when there are communication barriers, time zone differences, limited physical intimacy, trust issues, telling disconnected or isolated all in a relationship. The relationship is not going to work out, let me emphasize trust issues. As a romantic lady in my own world, my trust issues will definitely increase because I don't really have any idea of what he is doing there. There will definitely be arguments every second and fights that actually lead to breakups. Trust can be essential in any relationship, including long-distance ones. If one of the couple lacks trust, the relationship will definitely struggle. If they also experience jealousy, complicated arguments might arise. In addition, if one partner isn't honest and uses their time apart to cheat or spend romantic time with others, it could cause challenging conversations or arguments in the future when the couple meets in person.
Most of us in the dating pool find ourselves in long-distance relationships for so many reasons. The miles stretch between you, a constant ache in your chest. Every text is a lifeline, every call a stolen moment. Long distance relationship works due to the commitment of the couples, regularly scheduling video calls or phone calls, making time for virtual dates or activities, sharing daily updates and experiences, planning visits or reunions, and making time for virtual. But in a type of relationship where the couples are always busy with work they don't have time for themselves not to even talk about their relationship it is definitely not going to work out. As for me, I am definitely against long-distance relationships because if you are actually in a relationship with me or have some intimacy between us and you claim you are traveling I would prefer we end things between us immediately. I won't be able to cope, emotionally, or physically I will be really disturbed I won't even be able to focus because you are far away, my mind won't allow me that rest because I don't know what you are doing there exactly. I really love it when my partner is close to me not every day though, even if we are little but far away(not a long distance one) our love and bond continue to grow.
Long-distance relationships are good, especially for those who can maintain them and make them work. I can't make it work no matter how hard I try that is why I don't like it. If you're in an LDR, remember that communication, trust, and creativity are key to making it thrive!
Thanks for stopping by 💖❤️
