Distance makes the heart grow founder.
Alfa, 38 and Emily 35, who are married and
expecting their second child together, met online when Alfa was getting ready
to leave Vaal and move back to Free State. However they connected on Hinge.
They were in a long distance relationship and there were lot of obstacles they
were facing in their relationship.
I think trust and loyalty are honesty some
of the biggest challenges when it comes to relationships today because of
things like dating on apps while they were away from each other. Alfa and Emily
they’ve been dating for years now and have been doing a long distance
relationship for about 3 and a half years! They’re only miles away from each
other, so time difference isn’t too difficult to deal for with!
Alfa said that lot of people were skeptical
when they decided to not Break after
whatever they have been through when he moved back to Free State, However, they
didn’t let anyone opinion affect them and they took the plunge to continue with
their relationship. Alfa is grateful every single day because even on the hard
days lately, he knows that there’s someone out there who loves and cares about
him so much and someone who will always be by his side, even when she’s not
physically there!
Alfa's best advice for other long distance
relationship couples is that couples need to communicate well and understand
each other likewise, guilt, blame, shame and ignorance are destructive for any
relationship and a long distance relationship is not an exception. Long
distance relationship couples must try to communicate as much as possible, he
really stresses the importance of this piece of advice. He also advice couples
to consider to try find new fun things to do online, or even just over the
phone, so you don’t ever feel like you’re getting bored. Alfa and Emily are
both super committed to each other and they’ve been working on planning their
lives together, which is not always a given in a young relationship.
