Sometimes it is next to impossible to see each other in a long distance relationship. All circumstances surrounding a relationship, especially long distance, are different. However, if it is somewhat possible to see each other and you make no effort to do so, your relationship is probably at its wick’s end. For example, if you’re saving up for a train ticket to go see your boyfriend and blow it on a new wardrobe, your relationship probably doesn’t mean very much to you anymore. It might be time to call it quits.
