Even if a long-distance relationship fails, some couples prefer to continue together. After chatting with your spouse, you may realize that the time has come to call it quits on your relationship. If that's the case, it's totally fair to call it quits if both you and your partner agree that it's best for both of you. In fact, most long-distance relationships don't work out because there's no way for the partners to fix problems or be honest with each other from a distance. Also, it can be difficult to stay close to your partner when you're separated by hundreds of miles. Finally, many people find that once they get used to being apart that it makes breaking up more painful than anything else. If you do decide to end your long-distance relationship, try not to take it too seriously. You'll have plenty of time to date after you settle into your new lives. Also, remember that there are other lonesome people out there who need your attention and love! Finally, don't forget to tell your partner how you feel about them even if it's just through letters or emails. Even if you don't talk on the phone, you should still keep in touch occasionally so they know what direction your life is taking.
