Day 22: What do you think are important qualities for two people to have in a long distance relationship?

Cat: I think honesty is one of the most important qualities for two people in a LDR. I think there are a lot of emotional obstacles that come along with the greatest physical obstacle (distance), and if you can’t be honest with yourself and your partner about how you feel every step of the way or how you envision your future when you close the distance… I can only imagine that it would be incredibly difficult… And I’m not going to lie: It’s scary to be honest sometimes! Maybe you don’t want to ruin a good week or your love bubble, and trust me, I get that! But I think being honest with yourself and your partner will only help you in the long run.

Richard: Communication is very important. I find we do well, as we speak every day but in a way where we get on with our own lives. We don’t make each other feel bad if we aren’t able to Skype or if we’re busy etc.
