Long-distance love can be exciting, romantic and even a little addictive…but eventually, somebody has to ask: Where is this actually going?
Amy Watts is back for Part 2 of our very honest conversation about long-distance relationships—and this time, we're getting into what happens after the excitement wears off and real life starts creeping in.
Are you both making the same effort? Should you ever put your life on hold for someone? Are red flags easier to hide when you live hundreds—or thousands—of miles apart? And how do you know you're actually compatible when most of your time together feels like a mini vacation?
We also get into one of the unexpected perks of long distance: the anticipation. 👀 Yes, we're talking flirting, FaceTime, sex, keeping the spark alive and why all that time apart can sometimes feel like one very long form of foreplay.
Then we tackle the BIG questions: How do you test everyday compatibility? When should you start talking about relocation? Who moves? And when do you admit that love might not be enough to make the distance work?
Amy also leaves us with one of my favorite lines from this conversation:
She'd rather have an amazing relationship with someone on another planet than settle for “meh.”
Same, girl. SAME.
Because the goal isn't simply finding someone who's geographically convenient. It's finding a relationship that's actually worth making room for.
