Very interesting, the way the quotations are connected.
in my experience, long distance relationship sucks!!! It's very very difficult to keep it alive, as "you" want.
I believe if two people wanna stay comited and really want to live together and keep the relationship for couple of decades, they should avoid staying apart for long time. Though I am sure that nothing helps more than keeping your own space after marriage and always have the chance to be just with yourself, no matter what.
Many of these quotes look nice and sensible, but practically many of them are very much away from reality.
Just trust your partner and let him trust you and always feed your relationship smartly ;)
P.S: Love both of you :))
@Daddy: I am glad you saw it because that how I had planned it. :)
@Black coffee: Not all the quotes are far from reality. As you can see from the order in which I have put them they shift from being overly optimistic, to sad, then depressed and then finally happy again on the reunion. The sad and depressed ones do bring out the real emotions of people who are in a long distance relationship. This is the stage which I am personally finding difficult. More than the distance its the reduced presence (because of my husband's hectic MBA schedule) which makes the separation more apparent.
Even though missing someone doesn't make you feel good. But the fact that I being missed back in equal measure does. This means that we haven't become comfortable in singular lives and so will make every effort for getting back together as soon as possible. :)
Very interesting! Love the concept!
Thanks Azahar!
well said!
