Myth #2: Long-Distance = More Likely To Cheat
This is simply ridiculous. While it may be easier to pull off cheating when you and your partner have a lot of physical space, this does not mean they are more likely to cheat.
Cheating stems from multiple problems in a relationship and individual issues that contribute to the affair. If you are dating a cheater, they will cheat whether they are 10 minutes or 10 hours away. Distance does not dictate faithfulness.
Myth #3: You Have To Talk CONSTANTLY To Make It Work.
There is a difference between wanting to talk to your partner every day and needing to. A long-distance relationship does not have to look like 500 texts, 3 calls, and a daily FaceTime to work.
You should be able to go a day or two without constant communication. You have a life and can live it, even if your partner isn’t there to live it with you.
Find a rhythm that works for you both, and go for it. There are plenty of other myths we could bust, but these are the big ones when it comes to people being against long-distance relationships:
-A fear of cheating occurring
-Thinking they will have to talk to make it work constantly
-Believing it is doomed from the start because you won’t see each other much
I’m here to tell you you can make a long-distance relationship work. I mean, it can even thrive if you do the right things.
