“I tell myself every single day that everything is going to be fine. Every night before I sleep I think of her and the distance that is keeping us apart and God knows what she’s doing.”Every day is not the same since the day he has been out in the open sea. It’s been five months away from his girlfriend.
He said life has been really challenging and tough for him at the new environment.
He said most times Digicel network connection became a hindrance to communication.

“Sometimes the mobile network really breaks me down “he said.

He said being away from his girlfriend is one of the hardest situations that he has to-overcome every day in his life-especially when he travels to locations  that does not have the-mobile network connections.

Hans said he realized now that been in a distance relationships  is very hard but said if you really love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them, the distance between you and your lover should not matter.

He said sometimes he gets scared that the girlfriend might cheat on him but one of the factors that makes him stronger each day is the trust he has earned from her.

He said as long as there is trust, there is no need to be afraid of anything.

Hans said deciding to be in long distance relationship is depression and a headache at most times but the important thing is that ,you get to build trust and understanding between each other.
However he said from his experience,some of the important characters that an individual person in a long distance relationship would look for is to be faithful and honest with each other.

He said when this happens,both sides learn to build trust and the relationship lasts longer.
