Your Long-Distance Situationship? It’s Not Going to Last
So you’re crazy about someone, but miles stretch between you. Worse, you have no label, no nothing — everything is unclear and you just can’t quite grasp your situation.
But despite the uncertainty, your heart thinks, “Maybe this is the one!” while your gut screams otherwise.
Sounds familiar? You might be in a long-distance situationship.
Think of it like a casual fling, but with oceans or mountains between you. It is the same thing as a typical long-distance relationship, only more complicated.
Unfortunately, this kind of situationship usually doesn’t last.
What Is It And Why Is It a Gamble You Shouldn’t Take?
A long-distance situationship is a casual type of relationship, where two people share a connection without serious commitment.
People in this arrangement are separated by distance due to work, studies, or because they live hundreds of miles apart. But unlike the usual long-distance romance, individuals here are reluctant to commit.
They’re free to explore and date other people. It’s kind of like you are more than friends but less than lovers — plus you’re distant. (Crazy, right?)
You’re pouring your attention on someone who is miles away, someone you can’t truly hold, kiss, or share intimate hugs with. And what’s more, you can’t even say you’re in a relationship!
This isn’t even half-dating; it’s a maybe-sorta-kinda connection held together by emojis and late-night texts. What about real conversations about building a life together?
And trust? Let’s not even go there. How can you trust someone you can’t see, someone whose life unfolds on a screen, someone you can’t even call “mine?”
This isn’t a fairy tale. This is more like a cruel joke. While you can make do with a relationship that is separated by distance, one that lacks commitment is simply too much to fathom. It stretches you thin, leaving you yearning for something real, something tangible, something certain.
Face it, this long-distance situationship is a gamble. You’re risking your heart, your time, and your sanity on something you’re not even sure will last.
And the odds? Not in your favor. It’s like playing Russian roulette with your emotions — one pull of the trigger could leave you heartbroken and alone.
You’re Better Than This
I know the flutter in your chest when you hear their name, the way your fingers linger on the phone screen, waiting for their message.
I know the whispered promises across the miles, the dreams you weave together in the blurry glow of video calls.
All of it feels real, intoxicating even.
But let me tell you the harsh truth: You’re better than this.
Don’t settle for a relationship that makes you question your worth. Don’t bet on something that could potentially put you as a convenient option, a mere backup plan.
But if this is what you want — a long-distance situationship with no certainty — at the end of the day, the choice will always be yours.
Just remember that you deserve better than this uncertainty.
With your incredible heart and fierce spirit, you deserve a love that builds you up, not one that leaves you hanging and confused. Know your worth and don’t be afraid to walk away.
