Break up is usually hard to navigate, even if it happens amicably. That person who had become an important part of your life, who you thought would be with you till end of your life, now no longer being with you.

There is this sense of lost, of chewing the memories, of wishing things were different.

Despite Long Distance Relationship (LDR) isn’t what commonly preferred or planned for, sometimes it just happens.

Most common types of LDR

• The couple met each other in person first, then entered a LDR.

• The couple has been a LTR in person, but one person or both people need to move far away from each other for work or study.

• The couple met each other online before meeting each other in person, fell hard for each other and entered a LDR before meeting in person.

Challenges of Long Distance Relationship

• The lack of physical touch, including holding hands, kissing, having sex can be difficult for many couples.
• Time zone difference can be challenging. One person might be sleeping or working during the time the other person has free time and can talk.
• Visiting and spending time with each other isn’t always easy to arrange due to money and time.
• It may take a long time or unidentified time to close the gap.
