Julie & Nick
Short story: These two have been dating for a little over a year. They are two that have worked hard to make their relationship work, and have always had honest intentions. As their friends would see it these two didn't always line up together. In other words, The girl had a hard heart from a heart break, and the boy was patient, understanding, and kind. He cracked the hard shell and grew on her. He has always been loving, and she has grown a love towards him as well. It seems that this almost impossible love, has turned out to be quite the patient story. The two have had rough patches, but through patients, honesty, and work, they have seemed to come out on top as they grow together.
Q: How often do the two of you communicate?
A: (J) Well, we are long distance most of the time, so we are always texting, on the phone, or chatting on Facebook. Being away from each other has been hard for us sometimes because of the fact we don't get face to face time. Also, it can be a stresser when something is bothering me because when I do see him in person, I want it to be positive and happy.
(N) We talk all the time, I enjoy hearing from her throughout the day. I work a lot, she is at school, so we do our best. When we do get to see each other we enjoy that more because we get to actually talk and hangout.
Q: What problems in communication do you see that occur in your relationship?
A: (J) Honestly, we are long distance so that obviously is our biggest issue. I like to go out with my friends, and he goes to bed early. Sometimes, I feel we are further than two hours away from each other because we have such opposite schedules.
(N) I would agree to some extent. But, I sometimes get worried about her when I cannot spend the time with her. Or when I do visit I just want her all to myself, so it gets hard knowing we are going to be with all of our friends, rather than just together for the day/night.
Q:Do the two of you sit down on a regular basis and discuss your relationship in depth?
A: (J) Lately we have because of certain personal reasons. We have overcome a lot in the past year and sometimes I feel like we need to take a step back from all the future stuff. I like talking about our relationship in a fun loving lighter sense, but he tends to like to talk about forever, and that scares me sometimes.
(N) I think that we do. I mean I love her obviously we talk about our relationship. I do tell her how much she means to me, and how much I am looking forward to us after this long distance thing. So yeah, I would say I like to talk about life after her schooling.
