27 - Should Newcomer Men End Their Distant Relationships?

Disclaimer: The long-distant relationship discussed in this episode doesn’t involve married folks.

You might be in a distant relationship for the right reasons, but the reality is hitting you with different waves of frustrations you never imagined.

You might have thought of ending the relationship, but you fear you might be making a terrible mistake.

You desire things to go right, but the more you try, the more a part of you is missing. Your cash is burning faster; your mood is swinging like a swingset chain, and you are nervous about this life decision you are about to make.

Newcomer men involved in a distant relationship are torn between living a stable and peaceful life aboard with a new partner who resides in the same city, town, or country—someone who knows about the living conditions and is knowledgeable about achieving specific goals.

Versus someone who isn’t present in their day-to-day life, not living within the same socioeconomic climate
