90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 34

Day 34: What are some negative impacts you feel distance has made on your relationship?

Cat: I really feel like this LDR has had more of a positive impact on our relationship more so than a negative impact. We loved living together, but we lived with each other while we were both doing our master’s. It was pretty stressful, and towards the end, things got tough… But we made it through the storm, and while being in a LDR sounds like the thing that would really tear us apart, it really brought us closer together and made us stronger as individuals and as a couple. I think it has given us clarity in a way we had not yet. Babe?

Richard: Yeah, exactly what you said, babe. I can only say that it’s difficult when I really need a cuddle, but I know we’re strong as ever. 🙂

90 Day LDR Challenge: Day 16

Day 16: Name something your partner dislikes about themselves but you love!

Cat: Okay, guys, I’m not going to lie to you: This prompt really stumped Richard and I! We actually had no idea how to answer this one… I guess I’ll just say this: Richard really is one of the most confident people I know, and I think it’s because he had to overcome a lot of adversity at a really young age. We both have that in common. While it hit me hard in my teenage years, especially when it came to body image issues, Richard went the other way. After overcoming everything, he took all that negativity and transformed it into positivity. It wasn’t overnight, and he hit some hard times. But at the end of it all, he became the strong, confident person he is today. So, because of that, I think there’s very little room in Richard’s mind to hate or dislike things about himself. And I love him for that. 🙂Â
