There are so many long distance relationship couples out there, telling each other “I love you” or “No matter where you are, I will always love you.” Well, I'm sorry to tell you this but we live in a world where things are not that simple. Here are the struggles of being in a long distance relationship (trust me, I was there).

#1. Communication

When it comes to talking to each other, it’s hard to have time to when you're busy with your daily life.

#2. Sense of Touch

It sounds weird but every couple out there needs to be together sometimes to hug, to hold hands, to cuddle, to kiss, so they can improve their relationship. Staying apart for weeks, months, or years would definitely lead to the downfall of the relationship.

#3. Commitment

When it comes to commitment, one or the other will give up trying to make things work and the only option is to break up.

#4. Temptation of cheating

It’s easy to cheat behind your partner’s back and hide it. Since he or she is miles away from you, the temptation of cheating is real.

#5. Money

You’re gonna need lots of money just to be able to see your partner for a short period of time, before heading back to the hole of darkness you have to deal with when you're alone again and are away for him or her.

It depends on the person, but long distance is hard and takes a special kind of person, so if you think it is worth the risk, then do it. Otherwise, try to keep your future relationships close.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
