Long wait is almost over| 10,400 km long distance relationship for a year

Counting down the days and reuniting with my husband after one year of long distance relationship. 🥳

I have been in a long-distance relationship since last year, and finally, it is about to end soon, InshAllah. Honestly, it is tough to live far from your partner. He is 10,400 km away from me. The only way to contact him is through phone calls or WhatsApp, but this form of communication often leads to miscommunication and frustration. Finally, in 18 days, I'll be with him.

As for myself, I prefer not to have long-distance relationships because it's often impossible to understand the other person’s circumstances. It's not wise to rely on texting when dealing with issues, as there are no expressions or tone of voice to interpret. We chose this path because of my studies. I had two semesters left to graduate when I got married. Now that I’ve completed my studies, we can end this distance.

Long distance is indeed a challenge, especially for newlyweds and even more so when both are young and still learning each other’s communication styles. Being apart can bring about issues that make you feel lonely or question your relationship. However, being separated has made me cherish our time together even more and has strengthened our relationship.

I often have to wake up early in the mornings and set alarams just to communicate with him because of the time difference and his busy schedule although I'm not a morning person. I have never risen early in the morning just to speak with someone. but I do it because I love him the most. As we near the end of this long distance phase, I hope that it will strengthen the bond of our relationship when we are finally together.

I have come to value the small things in our relationship, a morning text or call, a goodnight message. These small actions that keep us close. But it’s not just about these gestures; it’s also about the daily moments of laughter and the memories we've created over the past year.

We will close this chapter on 10th of September and turn the page to a new one together. One day, all of this will be a memory and we will remember this time.

To everyone in a long-distance relationship around the world, I feel for you. I know that you hurt, feel helpless, and alone. Yet, I also witness the love, dedication, and grit that keeps you going. No matter how far apart you may feel from your partner, love, trust, and communication will make your bond stronger. That’s how it will be.
