Long distance relationships
Long-distance relationships mean that you aren’t living with your partner because you are in different places. This means you can’t see each other often.
If you live in Nairobi and your partner lives in Lagos, for example, you’re in a long-distance relationship.
Relationships can go long distance for many reasons. It could be because your partner has found a new job in a different city or country or because you’ve started studying at a university far from home.
Today, long-distance relationships are becoming more common because of modern forms of communication. Emails, chats, video chats, and social media make it much easier for people to stay in touch. You can even have sex on the internet with your partner to keep the spark alive while you’re apart.
Before you go long-distance, it might be a good idea to think about how your relationship will change. For one thing, there’ll be long stretches with no kissing, holding hands, or sex. You won’t get to see and talk to each other in person for long periods of time.
If you can, try it for a while and see how it works out before you make a serious commitment.

Hello Evelyn, thank you for…
Hello Evelyn, thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry you are going through such a hard time. Communication is an important part of any relationship. Have an open and honest conversation with your partner. Explain how their actions are affecting you and the relationship. Try not to be confrontational because that would put them on the defensive and the resulting conversation would not be productive. Be ready to listen to their fears and feelings and respond to them as well.
Yes but u can work on it

Hi Bunny,
I know the feeling so well, when a guy doesn’t call or text you back, it can drive you crazy
First, it is important to have an open conversation with your partner about how this change has affected you. Second, have you also taken the initiative to communicate with him? Once two people agree to be in a relationship, you both share the responsibility to reach out to each other. It’s totally acceptable to reach out to him to say hello. Set the pace and he may pick it up. Wishing you all the best.

Hi Khadija,
People meet in different spaces and go on to have great relationships. Long distance relationships can however be challenging to manage, but if the two partners are committed that can make it work. They would need to communicate frequently, plan to visit each other from time to time and have a clear future they are working toward together since they can’t be n a long distance relationship forever.

Hi Kefa, we are so sorry…
Hi Kefa, we are so sorry about this. Keeping a long distance relationship alive can be challenging, it is not possible to tell what could have happened. You can try reach out to get to know what led to this relationship and perhaps for you to have closure. You need to be alive to the fact that she may not be willing to talk about what happened and why she made this decision. If this is what happens, all you will have to accept this though difficult and begin you journey of moving on. Break ups are tough but life does and has to move on even after a breakup. Remember this was not your fault but a choice she made without giving you a chance to address the issues. Check out this article on more tips on how to cope with a break up;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/love-relationships/breaking-up/coping-with-a-break-up

Hi Yvonne. Making a long…
Hi Yvonne. Making a long distance relationship work can be a challenge. There is however no way to know for sure if your partner is cheating on you. The best thing to do is try to communicate with your partner. Be honest with them about your suspicions and your feelings along with your fears. I know this can be scary to bring it up but try to just tell them why you suspect something is wrong and not just accuse them to be a cheater. Generally if we hold on to our thoughts you might take things the wrong way believe something without knowing if it is real or not. We wish you well.

Hello Estherwilly, Long…
Hello Estherwilly, Long distance relationships can be challenging to manage but communication is one of the essential elements that help to strengthen the relationship. At this stage of your relationship, it is important to share with your partner what your expectations are of him including what you would like interms of communication. It may improve your communication if he know what you want or expect. Also, remember communication takes two and you can also initiate communication when he hasn’t. Even a text counts. We wish you well.

Hey Bernett, Making a long…
Hey Bernett, Making a long distance relationship work can be challenging and it is even more challenging if there is no or little communication. Any of the partners can initiate communication. You however need to let your partner know what the lack or little communication on his part is doing to your relationship and then agree on to proceed. If it is not possible to have regular communication and even devote time to spend together like you prefer, it maybe important for you to think about whether you will continue with the long distance relationship or not.

Hello Curious, it sounds…
Hello Curious, it sounds like you have it all together when it comes to sex. Start by committing to the relationship on your part, then get to know from your partner what they want from a relationship, what are their expectations in the long term. If they talk about the future they include you in that future it means they already see you together in the future. Open and honest communication is key since it helps you address issues when they come up or before without hurting each other or the relationship. Find a good time and find out what his plan are to get to know. Remember, to be prepared just in case he is not thinking or even willing to think that far ahead and think about what this will mean and what action you may have to take.

Hello my boyfriend got a new job in a different town. This job is important to him but I have a feeling it will negatively affect our relationship. I don’t know whether we will still work as a long distance relationship from the stories I have heard I feel we should just break up. Please advice.
Hello Favor, it is important…
Hello Favor, it is important to give careful thought to how your relationship will change before going long distance. One of the major changes, is the long periods you will spend physically apart from each other and yes this will affect your relationship. Partners can however, make it work if they are first committed to each other, they make a commitment to communicate frequently, they make plans to visit each other as resources will allow and that they talk about and make plans for the future of their relationship and work toward it. Take sometime and think about this, then have an honest conversation about the future of your relationship with your partner to make an informed decision. We wish you all the best, check out this article with tips on how to make it work;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/love-relationships/happy-relationships/long-distance-love-keep-it-hot-with-this-proven-technique

Hey Angela, so sorry about…
Hey Angela, so sorry about this. Your partner cheated on you and it appears he either doesn’t know how to approach you to apologize or he is just not remorseful about what happened. You need to think about whether you can forgive and trust him like you did before. If you can’t it maybe time to break up. Breaking up and moving on after can be challenging, but with time you will be able to move on. Give yourself time, eventually you will be able to move on. Have a look at the following article for tips on coping with a break up;- https://lovemattersafrica.com/love-relationships/breaking-up/coping-with-a-break-up

Hi Victoria, it is difficult…
Hi Victoria, it is difficult to know for sure if your partner is cheating on you. It is important that you however raise any concerns you have, especially the lack of communication. Communication is one of the essentials of any relationship, without which partners begin to draw apart and this can cause the relationship to fail. Find a good to raise these concerns with your partner, remember not to just accuse him a cheat but raise your concerns to get to know what could be going on. Check out the following article for more information;-

Hello Happiness. So sorry…
Hello Happiness. So sorry you are going through such a hard time.
Communication is an important part of any relationship. Have an open and honest conversation with your partner. Explain how their actions are affecting you and the relationship. Try not to be confrontational because that would put them on the defensive and the resulting conversation would not be productive. Be ready to listen to their fears and feelings and respond to them as well.

Hello Chizzy, thank you for reaching out to us. We understand that this situation would be frustrating to you especially considering your situation. The best thing to do is to try and have a conversation with him and explain the situation. Listen to him as well and respond to his emotions.
Remember that nobody should try and force you to do something with your body that you do not want to or are not ready to. Your sexiness is not reliant on whether or not you can show your naked body.

Hi Chy, thank you for reaching out to us. You have asked a great question. There really is no easy way of determining if someone loves you as much as you love them because people express love in different ways.
Love presents in different ways. We all have love Languages. These are ways in which we express love for our loved ones. These love languages are Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch.
This article has more information on these love languages and how they present. Go through it and let us know if you still have any questions.

Hello EBY, thank you for…
Hello EBY, thank you for reaching out to us. There is no way to know for sure if someone is cheating on you. The best thing you can do is try to communicate with your partner. Be honest with them about your suspicions and your feelings along with your fears. I know this can be scary to bring it up but try to just tell them why you suspect something is wrong and not just accuse them a cheater. Generally, if we hold on to our thoughts you might take things the wrong way believe something without knowing if it is real or not.

Hi NG, thank you so much for reaching out to us. We are so sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. Thing is, we all have different ways of loving our partners and for you, that means constant communication and maybe on his end, he does not feel that way. However, communication is important in a Long Distance Relationship. When next you have a call explain your feelings. Speak about what you would like from them and how it would be better for the relationship. Listen to them as well and try and address any fears they may have.

Hi Ify, thank you for…
Hi Ify, thank you for getting in touch and we are so sorry you are going through a difficult time. If you both had agreed that you would talk to each other every day, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. There could be a variety of reasons as to why he may have not called you back dear, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he does not love you, maybe he is busy or something has come up that he will explain to you the next time you talk. Long-distance relationships can be tough but faith, trust, and communication can go a long way. Also understanding each others love languages can help 🙂 Click here to find out more and share this with your partner so that you can both identify each others love languages and further improve your relationship: https://lovemattersafrica.com/love-relationships/happy-relationships/do-you-speak-the-right-language-when-it-comes-to-love

Hi Erica,
I am sorry to…
Hi Erica,
I am sorry to hear about what you are going through. It seems that there is a communication and commitment problem in your relationship. Your boyfriend does not call or text until you do and at the same time he’s not committed to making time for you. It would be wise to tell him about how you feel about his actions. If he listens and promises to change you can give him sometime to see whether he changes. It is also fair to ask him about things that make him unhappy in this relationship. You both can sit down and talk about how you can be better partners to each other or if this relationship is making both of you happy. It is possible that one, or both, of you are unhappy but are afraid to say it out loud. Do not be afraid to break up if you feel that he is not interested in talking about these issues or that the relationship is not healthy for you, or both of you. Here is an article that can help you know when to breakup: Signs that it’s time to break up and move on. If you decide to fix the relationship here is an article on communication for you and your partner: How can I improve communication in my relationship?

Hi ma’am, thank so much that was wonderful. I’m in this serious relationship with this guy I knew through a friend, and we have never met yet. But I’ve grown to love him, and wouldn’t think of anything that would cause me to loose him. But I’m afraid he may not find me very attractive when we finally meet, although we have been sharing all the pictures. And he has already introduced me to some members of his family. Playing what would be your advice to me. Thanks
Hi Promise,

Hi Promise,
Have confidence in yourself. You deserve love. Do not doubt your ability to attract love. The fact that he has introduced you to some family members means may mean that he likes you. Unless you have been sending edited photos of yourself, you should be positive and confident about attractiveness. You are enough!

Hi Claye,
Communication is…
Hi Claye,
Communication is an important part of a healthy relationship. It is especially important in a long-distance relationship where physical contact is not assured for some time. In your case, it could be that you are the only one who is interested in the relationship. Actions speak louder than words and if she is not making time to speak with you, then she may be telling you that she is not interested through her actions. If she has said that she’s interested in being in a relationship with you, talk to her and explain how her silence or lack of communication makes you feel.

Hi Cecelia,
It is totally…
Hi Cecelia,
It is totally normal for a partner not to call as often as he used to at the start of the relationship. However, it should not be that he goes for long without calling you. On the other hand, since you are already in a relationship, you can also call him and check on him from time to time. Do not always expect him to call.
If you want to know whether he still loves you, the best thing to do is to ask him. Have an open and honest conversation with him about your feelings for him and encourage him to express how he feels about you. Remember, actions speak louder than words, you should feel loved and wanted, if you do not feel that way, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate your relationship.
