I think the most unsettling part of a long distance relationship is that, theoretically speaking, either of you could suddenly meet someone who changes everything. I’ve actually never thought about this until now, but isn’t that kind of indirectly a constant threat when you’re so rarely physically together? You don’t plan for those things to happen because you can’t, but there’s no way of knowing that one day someone else won’t just show up and fill the voids the other person can’t possibly fill. Of course that’s always a threat even when you are together, but when you’re not it’s like you could have absolutely no idea it was happening and then one day you’d wake up and everything would be different. Because what if absence doesn’t always make the heart grow fonder?
