It is not necessary for those in relationship to be together always. They may live in different places, different cities why, even different countries and still bond in love. Rather more love than the rest of them who are together. That’s the power of true love. Nowadays, tackling people close by becomes difficult and when they are miles and oceans apart? Definitely a herculean task and it is one heck of a ride. I & my Hubby have been on this ride many times. The ride of “Long Distance Relationship”
Soon after our first meet, in a week’s time he went abroad on an assignment. The initial courtship period, the lovely pre-marital time was through web. We missed all the fun of being together, getting (actually struggling) to understand each other, the thrill of dating, those small intimate sweet nothings etc... Almost for 7 months we were trying to figure out ourselves over phone and Skype. We had our engagement through Skype (that calls for a different post which will soon be posted). Lady Luck (on a sarcastic note) was always with us. Immediately after marriage, in a month’s time he got the next assignment. But I was able to join him soon after two months’ time. Even then the confusion prevailed. How (in fact WHERE) will the next project be? Is it going to be a Long or a short term? Will we be together or again go through all of these for sometime? And so on… High tides of all negative energies like crying, frustration depression were drowning us completely. Sundar learnt to swim against the tides and am still struggling with it.
In-spite of all these mishaps, we still enjoyed every phase of our life. Our “cyber courtship” was the most fun. How many of us will get this kind of a thrill?? Every time, the distance makes us spend more and more time with each other. We were always staying connected. Every day, every minute, every moment, we were either on phone or Skype. So much Love and it kept growing stronger and stronger. Of course there were/are times when we would not be able to speak to each other, yearn for the other to be beside, miss them so badly when you see/hear/talk something beautiful or something which they like. Things have to move on and this shall be a passing cloud. The actual difference between happiness and unhappiness is not because of circumstances and is only because of people’s attitude, their perspective. These things changed our way of thinking completely. As it goes “There is always Good with the Bad”. We got to learn a lot from these unfortunate happenings. We are now becoming more matured and learning to handle the difficult situations at ease.
