9 Reasons Long Distance Relationships Suck

It sucks. No better word.

Long distance relationships are hard. Especially when they are half way across the world. No one wants to be in a long distance relationship.

1. You rarely get to see your significant other.

And when you do see your significant other, you just want to spend every minute with them and never let them leave again.

2. You have to travel to see them.

Sometimes one person travels more than the other and it makes it hard to not be able to see the other person.

3. You can’t just call them up for a snuggle session.

Sad? Cold? Sick? Or just need your significant other? Forget calling them to snuggle and bring food and make things better.

4. You have to FaceTime/Skype in order to see them.

The closest you get to seeing their face is through FaceTime/Skype, sometimes only being able to call them through FaceTime Audio/Skype because they don’t have cell phone service.

5. They’re most likely in a different time zone, sometimes in a different country.

Call them at 5 p.m. local time but it’s about 3 a.m. their time? Time zones suck. Especially because no one likes being interrupted in their sleep.

6. When something happens and you just want to call them up and tell them everything that happened.

But you can’t because they're busy or sleeping.

7. When you get into fights it is hard to resolve over texts when you can’t talk on the phone.

You can’t tell the tone of the texts, so forget trying to resolve things that way.

8. Saying goodbye is the worst.

Either getting in the car to come home or getting on the plane. You start crying, not knowing when the next time is you'll see them.

9. It really just sucks.

There is no better word for it. You rarely get to see them, rarely get to kiss them. It sucks not being able to go on cute dates, it sucks not being able to go for 3 a.m. car rides through the city or looking for somewhere to eat because we got hungry.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
